Let's just say I'm in the writing mood. And I'm so anxious to get this done, and that's not because I don't wanna keep writing it, but I really like the movie and this fic is going really well for me.
Chapter 10
Jimmy/Chris's POV
Jimmy and Sheen sat in his living room, talking about the night him and Cindy had a little "sleepover".
"I'm so stupid! I wanna be with her so bad! And I completely made a fool out of myself and she probably hates me. What if she never talks to me again?"
Sheen looked at him, and then a confused expression swept over his face. "I...I just thought you wanted to do her!"
Jimmy just shook his head.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Cindy and Libby were having their own little talk.
"I don't know what happened! I mean, I wore the sexy shirt, and even used the "cold feet" trick. And he didn't even make a move!" Cindy complained.
Libby, unlike Sheen, actually thought about the concept before answering.
"Hmm...," Then she gasped, finding a solution. "Maybe he's gay!" She said it in a hushed whisper, as if people were around.
Cindy rolled her eyes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"But hey, tomorrow's Christmas Eve, right? I'll figure out something by tomorrow morning and probably go over to her house or something."
Sheen nodded. Jimmy smiled, he was leaving soon, and he wasn't leaving without putting up a fight.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Thanks for the cookies, mom." Jason said, bringing a handful of cookies upstairs and up to Jimmy's room.
Jimmy was about to walk out the door when Jason stepped in.
"Hey bro, where you going?"
Jimmy put a finger to his lips and pointed to Betty, fast asleep on her stomach on Jimmy's bed.
Her hair covered one eye, and you could tell she still had makeup on.
"I'm going over to Cindy's."
Jason nodded and they glared at each other for a moment.
They both raised a hand to hit each other, but stopped. Jason handed Jimmy a cookie and muttered, "I love you."
"I love ya too bro."
Jimmy walked out of the room with Jason in tow. Everything was going right, Jason and Jimmy weren't fighting, Jimmy was finally going to get the girl of his dreams, and Betty-well, Betty was still asleep on Jimmy's bed, or so he thought.
Things were about to become complete and total disaster, and it all started when Jimmy and Jason were having their little conversation, thinking that Betty was asleep, but the thing was, she wasn't. Because when they left the room to go about their business, Betty opened one eye and that's when she knew she had to do something about this Cindy person.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Jimmy walked in the Vortex household, hearing soft music. He walked into the living room, a carefree smile on his face. The smile immediately disappeared when he caught sight of what was inside the house.
Dusty was in the middle of the room, all the people in the house surrounding him, listening to him strum his guitar. Cindy was right in front of him, Libby and Sheen behind her.
Then Dusty started to sing the familiar song, the song he had tried to sing at Cindy's graduation party.
"When Cindy smiles...it takes me miles...," He stared at Cindy during the whole song. She was smiling at him.
"And that's when I realize...that she's no ordinary girl...," He started strumming faster and then he finished the song. Everybody started clapping.
Then the whole group went outside to sing Christmas carols. Jimmy sat on the stairs, sulking. He sat there for awhile until he heard footsteps. It was Sheen.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Sheen asked, confused.
"I give up. Cindy obviously likes Dusty better than me." Jimmy explained simply.
"What! You're just going to give up so quickly? The Jimmy I knew in High School NEVER gave up. And you're seriously going to let Dusty win? This is Dusty Dinkleman we're talking about. The jerk who skeezes in his jeans. It's Dusty. Dusty Dinkleman."
Sheen's little pep talk really brang Jimmy's spirits up. "You're right! I can't give up!"
Sheen smiled brightly. "Yeah! Now let's go get her!"
Jimmy jumped up and ran out the front door and immediately spotted Cindy. She stopped singing and looked at him. She smiled and mouthed, "Hi."
Jimmy smiled and waved. Maybe things WERE looking up.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
While Jimmy was at Cindy's, Jason was brushing his teeth. He opened the medicine cabinet door, and then closed it. He screamed and jumped about five feet when he saw Betty standing behind him. She grabbed him by the shoulders and pushed him up against the wall.
"Where's Jimmy!"
"I can't tell you!"
Betty covered his lips with hers and shoved her tongue down his throat for a few moments and then pulled away.
"He's at Cindy Vortex's house..." He managed to mutter before sinking to the floor with shock.
Betty grinned with satisfaction and stalked off.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Jimmy was about to go walk over to Cindy when he heard a loud roaring sound. It was a car. HIS car.
He spotted it speeding down the road, and it suddenly swerved into Cindy's yard. And Mr. Vortex, having the best Christmas display in town, was devastated when he saw that several of his outside statues were damaged after Betty ran them over with Jimmy's car.
"Oh, shit." Jimmy was in big trouble now.
Jason was in the passenger seat and he rolled down the window and put his head out.
"THE JIG IS UP! RUNNNN!" He screamed and Betty opened the door.
"YOU!" She pointed to the crowd.
"Me?" A short elderly lady asked, confused.
"No, not you wrinkles," Betty snapped.
She stalked over to the crowd and stepped right in front of Cindy.
"You!"
"Me! I don't recall ever doing anything to you!"
"Oh yeah? You stole my boyfriend you bitch!"
Cindy narrowed her eyes and glanced at Jimmy. He looked like a deer in headlights.
"Catfight!" Jason yelled excitedly.
"I didn't steal anything from you!"
Without another word, Betty attacked. But luckily, a man stopped her before she could do any more damage.
"You guys are all sons of a bitches! I hate you all!" She yelled from the man's grasp.
"Get your hands off me!" She ran to the car and managed to run over the surviving decorations.
Mr. Vortex sank to his knees. "NOOO!"
Jimmy felt like doing something similar.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Jimmy sat on his bed, feeling very depressed.
He had his cell phone in hand, and he decided to listen to his messages. They were all from Betty.
"Hey, listen I'm sorry. Call me!"
"I'm still waiting for you to come back to L.A.!"
"Baby, I miss you."
"CALL ME PLEASE!"
Jimmy threw the phone down and groaned. He had given up. He was going home.
A/N: I was sad when I wrote this. But it will get better. I couldn't write more because then it would be way too long. R&R!
