Chapter 7- The Night Before Life Goes On
Sittin
up on the roof
Sneakin a smoke by the chimney
checking out the
moon and the city lights
Night had fallen onto Retroville. It was the last night of Cindy's stay. She and Jimmy were sitting on his roof, staring up at the stars.
"It's so beautiful," she whispered, staring into the sky with a dazed look on her face.
"Yeah," Jimmy said, converting his gaze to Cindy's face, "beautiful." Cindy looked at him and met his eyes. He leaned in and gave her a soft peck on the lips. She smiled and sighed, wrapping her arms around her chest.
"It's cold," she whispered. Jimmy slipped a flannel shirt off his shoulders and wrapped it around her.
He takes off his
flannel shirt and
Drapes it around her shoulders
Slides up
behind her and holds on tight (and she says)
Cindy felt Jimmy slide behind her and wrap his arms around her protectively. He nuzzled into the crook of her neck and softly kissed it. Cindy let out a small sigh and leaned back against Jimmy. She softly closed her eyes and took in everything around her. It was all too perfect. She was on the roof, the last night of summer, nuzzled against the man she loved more than anything. She opened her eyes and looked up into Jimmy's.
I don't want this night to end
Why does it
have to end?
Tomorrow she'll be rolling down I10
Baton
Rouge LSU eighteen years in her rearview
He's got a Friday
paycheck lined up down the block
Daddy's shop, it ain't much but
it's a job
They've been dreading this moment all summer long
The
night before life goes on
Cindy's eyes welled up with tears. It was all so perfect; she couldn't believe she'd be leaving tomorrow. Tears lined the bottom of her eyes and spilled down her perfect cheeks. She softly wiped them away, but it didn't keep Jimmy from noticing. He looked down at the hurt in her eyes, and couldn't stand it.
"Come on," he whispered, "let's get out of here."
A tear falls off her cheek and
Right
when it hits his arm he says
Come on baby lets get out of
here
"Where are we gonna go?"
"Let's just drive...one more time around Retroville." Cindy wiped the remaining wetness from her eyes and nodded.
"OK, sounds good." They slid off the roof into Jimmy's room and walked down to his car. As Jimmy started the car, Cindy stared out the window, looking at all the buildings. It looked so different from when she last saw it.
"Woah...it looks...different," Cindy sighed. She leaned back against the seat. "I can't believe I'm leaving tomorrow." Jimmy drove to the city park and stopped the car. He didn't get out right away; he just stared out the windshield. Cindy gently touched his arm.
"Jim, are you OK?" Cindy jumped when Jimmy slammed his fist on the wheel.
"Life's not fair Cin!" he replied, his voice cracking slightly. "I don't wanna let you go Cin! I love you!"
They take one
last drive around town
Man it already looks different
He bangs
the wheel and says life ain't fair
This growing up stuff man I
don't know
I just don't wanna let you go
"I love you too Jimmy, but..." Cindy broke off and looked out the window. "Let's go walk though the park. One more time?" Jimmy nodded and they got out of his car. Cindy walked up to Jimmy and he draped his arm around her waist. They slowly walked down the path, enjoying each other's company and the beauty of the night. Somehow, they found themselves by the big oak tree. Cindy giggled.
"We always seem to make it to this tree," she whispered. Jimmy smiled and sat down, Cindy following. She leaned against his shoulders and stared up at the moon. By the look of the sky, it had to be almost morning. It wouldn't have surprised her; they did stay up with each other for a long time.
Tomorrow
she'll be rolling down I10
Baton Rouge LSU eighteen years in her
rearview
He's got a Friday paycheck lined up down the
block
Daddy's shop it ain't much but it's a job
They've been
dreading this moment all summer long
The night before life goes
on
Yeah that's what my mama told me
And just like
those kids
I didn't wanna listen to no one
Yeah there's nothing
you can do
There's nothing you can say
I know how it feels when
love slips away
Cindy looked towards the eastern horizon. A very, very thin sliver of pink could be seen on the horizon. She sighed and felt the tears flood back into her vision.
"Cin, you're crying again!" Jimmy said quietly, wiping the tears from her pink cheeks with his thumb. "What's wrong?"
"It's almost morning," she whispered, gesturing towards the eastern horizon. Jimmy saw the pink and sighed.
"Yeah," he whispered. "Might as well make the best of our time." He leaned down and kissed her passionately, as if she'd disappear any second; though that wasn't far from the truth. Cindy cupped her hand behind his head and returned it with even greater passion and love. Jimmy pinned her against the tree, deepening the kiss.
Tomorrow

-And Now A Word From Nicoley:
Lollipops are splendid things
And the doorbell dings
The flowers may bloom
And the crash goes BOOM
But Nothings better
Than when the weather
Is very bright
And the reviewers are right
When they say
Your story makes our day
And you reviewers rock
So go put on a sock
Sit Back and Relax
And get some snacks
Now push the Go Button
Don't Just Say Nothin'
Put somethin'
That will entertain us
So much we'll go take a bus
To Candyland
And play in a band
So make us happy
And not let us take a nappy
So Review now
And we won't have a cow
