CHAPTER 20
Title: Room 339
"I'm-looking-for/PANT/-Cindy-Vortex/PANT/Can... you... tell me where... she-is?", Jimmy said to the receptionist.
He was hardly breathing. After what he heard from Sheen and Carl together, a sudden guilt invaded Jimmy with all the strenght in the world. He ran to the hospital with the rush of the same devil itself. Why didn't he listen to her? Now it was his fault she was in a coma! Poor Cindy! The lov-
"Cinthya Aurora Vortex? Room 339, 3th floor, the second hall to the right", the receptionist cutted his thoughts.
"Thank you!". Stupid! Stupid of me! Damn me! How can I be so stupid, he said to himself. He was thinking of the moment the few last days of Cindy and himself when he should have apologized. He pushed the button of the elevator, and it seemed like the wait for the coming of this one was an eternity. When the doors opened, he stepped inside like if he was going to the bathroom, and then, he waited until the doors opened on the third floor. He went to the second hall to the right to find out that the hall was filled with his mom and dad, Cindy's mom, Jet Fusion at her side, and Libby. This sent shivers to his spine. He felt guilty. He caused all this to happen. It was his fault.
"Jimmy! Thank god you came!", Libby said. She ran towards him and embraced him in a big hug.
"What do you mean?", Jimmy asked, suddenly feeling some warm across his body. "Aren't you guys mad at me?".
"Cindy is in a coma... we all know, but the best thing you didis to come in here and apologize! And perhaps that would make things better...", Libby explained, with a bit of sadness in her voice.
Jimmy nodded slowly. "I guess I could try".
He walked into the room, previously avoiding all the looks he was getting from his parents and specially from Cindy's mom. They didn't say a word, but they looked as if they were encouraging him to do what he had to do. The room looked pretty clean, also some flowers were on a table near the bed and there was the patient. Cindy was in a deep dream, connected to a full bunch of tubes, all coming from a machine on theother side of the bed, which was measuring her heart frequency at every time. A few tears strolled down Jimmy's cheeks. He gulped the lump in his throat and he approached near her bed and took a sit on a bench.
"Jimmy, we can close the door so to leave you two alone. Is that ok, sweetie?", Judy asked, while holding the doorknob.
"It's ok, mom... you guys can hear allif you want", he said, his voice sounding very hurted.
Judy nodded, but she decided to close the door anyways. Jimmy didn't took his eyes off of Cindy. She looked beautiful even when she was asleep. He stroked her hair a bit, and he felt her cold skin.
"Hey, Cindy, it's me. Jimmy. I... I didn't want this to happen...", he sobbed. "but I was really pissed off because I thought you were really trying to kill me the other day", he sobbed again, as he took out a tissue from his pockets. "I've found that the amnesia you had combined with all the hurt you received from my enemies, caused you all this confusion. But all I wanted was an explanation from you, why did you behave like that, and in the other side I didn't want that explanation", he said. "You know... not only I'm trying to apologize for this, but also I wanted to say to you that... I...", he paused before he said it. "I... I love you", he sighed deeply when he said that. "And... I know that... even if you don't recover from your amnesia... I... I still love you and I always will".
He kissed her forehead. He sighed again, as he stood up and headed straight to the door, without looking behind him. Fresh tears appeared from his eyes.
"J... Jimmy?", suddenly, a voice called.
