The Pros And Cons Of Cindy; Part 4

"The Pros And Cons Of Breathing" (Different But Same Verse)
By: Fall Out Boy

Whooa, I want to hate you half as much as I hate myself
But know that I could crush you with my voice
Whooa, I want to hate you half as much as I hate myself
But know that I could crush you with my voice
Stood on my roof and tried to see you forgetting about me
Hide the details I don't want to know a thing

It was night. Jimmy had trudged home after the "incident" at the movie theater, landed on the couch and yelled for his mom to bring him some chips.

He was watching a rerun of Ultralord on TV when the doorbell rang.

"Jimmy, can you get that?" rang Mrs. Neutron's voice from the kitchen. Jimmy grumbled audibly but rolled off the couch and approached the door.

"Look, if you're selling something, we don't want it---" He stared at the person in front of him.

It was Cindy. "Hey... Can we talk?"

Jimmy stepped reluctantly out into the cool breezy night, and sat on his front steps. "What about?" he asked quietly, avoiding looking at her face.

He heard her sit beside him and he shuffled away. A sigh came from Cindy's direction.

"Neutron... Jimmy... I'm sorry. You were right."

Jimmy looked up and studied her face intently. He could tell she wasn't lying. Then he looked back down at the ground, watching a couple ants run around. He squished them with the toe of his shoe.

"Jimmy," whispered Cindy. He could feel her breath on his neck. "I really am sorry. I didn't mean what I said back there, back in the movie theater... It's just... I've been with Nick for-"

"-Two years, yeah, I know."

Jimmy stood up, stuffing his hands into his pockets. He looked up at the night sky and closed his eyes. Cindy stood up and joined him.

"It's beautful out... Isn't it?" she asked, holding her arms to keep in the warmth.

Jimmy grunted and walked toward the tree in his side yard. He leaned against it and looked at Cindy. "So you came here to say sorry, is that it?"

Cindy took a step forward, opening her mouth and closing it over and over. Finally she managed to get her words out. "Actually... I came here to tell you something else, too."

She took a breath and leaned on the tree next to Jimmy. "Jimmy... I... I feel the same about you. I really do. And the thing with Nick... It was a facade at first, something to cover up my true colors... But now... I'm confused, I'm so confused. And when you did that at the movie theater... I just... I went psycho... But then Brittney told me all about how Nick was cheating on me with Chelsea..."

Cindy turned and faced Jimmy. He looked at her and then looked down at his shoes.

"I believe you, Jimmy. I just.. I needed proof, even if I had that feeling that what you said was true. I'm really sorry Jimmy... And that's why I came here to give you this..."

She pushed her lips onto his, then she ran her hands over his hair and settled onto his neck. But Jimmy, surprisingly, pushed her off.

"I'm sorry too, Cindy. Maybe if you had chosen my side at the movie theater, we'd be together. But since you didn't... I knew you weren't worth it enough. You were so naive, Cindy, I feel bad about that. I thought you were worth it, but you aren't. I'm sorry."

He pushed himself off of the tree and walked over to his porch. "I hope we can still be friends."

You want apologies, girl you might hold your breath, until your breathing stops, forever, forever,
The only thing you'll get, is this curse on your lips, I hope they taste of me, forever, forever.

A/N: Sniff, sniff... I just had to do that you guys... I'm so sorry about what happened, for misleading you guys into thinking there's a happy ending. But there isn't, at least not always. Anyway, I'd just like to thank you all for reading (And to some for reviewing)

REVIEW! (It'd make my day!)
