Jimmy had been driving for almost 3 hours. He was now coming up in Dairyville, the place he was supposed to move to when his father lost his job. At first he was furious with the mayor, and with himself. But now he was sad and lost.
'I need someone here to help me.' Jimmy thought to himself. Automatically he thought of Cindy.
"How stupid was I, not telling her how I feel?" He muttered getting angry all over again. How many times he had been so close to admitting his feelings? There were almost too many to count.
Back in Retroville Cindy was making her way over to Libby's house. After ringing the door 3 times Libby finally came to the door. Looking a little bit woozy she invited the blonde girl in. As soon as she saw Sheen on the couch looking equally as woozy, Cindy turned to her Egyptian friend and said, "Long make-out session?"
Libby only nodded her head, smiling a bit.
"I came wondering if you lovebirds would want to come down to the Candy Bar?"
"Sounds like a good idea." Libby shrugged; you could tell that all she really wanted to do was get back to business with her man.
"Let's go get Neutron." Cindy decided.
"Why do you want him to come Cind?" Libby questioned, playing stupid.
"I-I was just thinking that uh…Sheen! Would uh want someone to keep him company." She stuttered blushing hard. Libby just raised her brow.
"Oh just come on!"
Sheen led the way up to the Neutron's household.
"Ding Dong, Ding Dong, Ding Dong."
"Hi, Mrs. Neutron, is Jimmy home?" Cindy asked staring at Sheen and his excessive doorbell ringing. But instead of getting an answer, Mrs. Neutron burst out crying.
"What happened Mrs. Neutron?" everyone asked, taken aback by her tears.
"J-jimmy w-w-as ki-kicked out of t-town!" she sobbed covering her eyes with her hands. Everyone gasped, even Sheen who was actually paying attention.
"What did Jimmy do this time?" Sheen asked interested in how his buddy got kicked. This just made Judy cry harder. Everyone turned to glare. Libby elbowed him in the ribs when he asked quietly "what?"
"He destroyed the military base and got kicked out." Mrs. Neutron calmly informed the teenagers. Just after saying that, the evening news came on the television.
"Tonight's top story: Long time town hero, ejected from Retroville. James Neutron, teen genius, was banned today after sabotaging the Armed Forces base. The young man was trying to get inside when the guards refused him entry. Which caused him to become upset and demolish the east wall."
Everyone stood there in disbelief. But no ones shocked expression could match Cindy's. Her eyes were glued to the set as they interviewed the mayor.
"The boy was about to loose his temper on me. He swore it was an accident but I told him that I would not accept such a phony alibi. He started to raise his voice, I was afraid he might attack me,"
"WHAT? Jimmy would never in a million years do that!" Cindy shook uncontrollably. "I mean, he losses his temper, but he would never hurt anyone. I certainly made him mad plenty of times but he never, never… oh," Cindy broke down in tears on the couch. Libby stood over her and patted her back.
"It'll be alright Cind." Libby said, with no confidence. She knew that her best friend wouldn't be all right. After all, she loved the guy.
"Wh-why didn't he say go-good bye?" the crying girl replied.
Now in Dairyville, Jimmy was pulling into a parking spot at a hotel about 5 miles into town. After signing in and paying (he had stuffed some money into his pocket when he left) he went to find his room. Flopping down on the bed he fell asleep.
"Jimmy, why didn't you say good-bye? Why didn't you tell me you loved me?" Cindy's voice faded in and out then stopped. He woke up from the dream with tears rolling down his face. Looking at the clock he realized that the dream lasted an hour. It only seemed to last 5 minutes to him.
There's a pain that sleeps inside
It
sleeps with just one eye
And awakens the moment that you
leave
Though I try to look away
The pain it still remains
Only
leaving when you're next to me
Do you know, that every time
you're near
Everybody else seems far away
So can you come and
make them disappear
Make them disappear and we can stay
So
I stand and look around
Distracted by the sounds
Of everyone
and everything I see
And I search through every face
Without a
single trace, of the person
The person that I need…
Searching on the nightstand, Jimmy found a pad of paper and pen.
"Dear Cindy…"
Ok that was a lot to write. I'm blind from my computer now. The lyrics were from "Disappear" by Hoobastank. They are awesome.
