This...is...the...last...chapter...aren't you sad? This is one of the first fanfics I've ever actually finished! I hope that you'll all be satisfied with this chapter. There is no epilogue. Oh, and someone you haven't seen for awhile comes back in this chapter. Joy joy! Also, this chapter takes place on New Years' Eve.
Chapter 12
Jimmy/Chris's POV
Jimmy stepped out of his limo, carrying a suitcase. He was finally back to L.A. He had his eyes cast downward, and before he got inside, he threw his luggage...you could hear a car alarm somewhere off in the distance. Hey, I didn't tell you that he was HAPPY to be back in L.A.
He sat on his comfortable couch, and started to sulk. There was a hole in the wall that gave him the perfect view of the kitchen behind him, and since he was rich, his house was huge! He looked around the familiar place when his eyes stopped on a guitar. He narrowed his eyes when he recognized it.
"AAHH!" He heard a female scream behind him.
"AH!" He screamed right back.
Betty was in the kitchen, standing right behind him.
"Hey! I was just making cookies!" She went around to the door and into the living room. She kneeled down in front of him. "I thought if I made cookies I'd be more like that homely skank you cheated on me with."
"She's NOT a skank..."
Betty ignored him. She sat in the spinning blue chair in front of him, and picked up her guitar. "I rewrote the song 'Forgiveness'. Do you wanna hear it?"
Jimmy shook his head violently. Betty spun around in her seat.
"Oh! I figured that if we work together, we could be like Jessica Simpson and her dad. Except we can get it on and they can't cause it's illegal!"
Ew.
Jimmy got off the couch and started pacing. "Listen Betty...I'm in love with somebody."
Betty immediately perked up and smiled brightly.
"But it's not you." He turned around so his back was facing her. After awhile, he turned back around to receive a painful electric shock in a VERY sensitive spot.
Dang. Betty found her taser gun.
Jimmy fell on the white footrest that just happened to be right there. Betty put her guitar down and walked over to him. She put her hand on either side of him and leaned in close.
"Why not?"
"Because you're freakin' crazy!"
Betty picked up her taser gun again. Jimmy used his fast reflexes and flipped her over so he was on top, and she had dropped her taser gun.
"Oh yeah baby!"
"No! Betty...I'm in love with Cindy."
"But I'm perfect and she's not!"
"But she doesn't HAVE to be perfect. I love her for who she is."
"OH well, I'm sorry I'm not homely! Okay, I'm sorry I'm not FAT! I'm sorry I'm not pale! Hey hey, where are you going?"
Jimmy had walked out of his house. He was going to find Cindy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cindy was all alone that night, eating ice cream on her couch, waiting for the ball to drop on TV.
She heard a knock on her door. She got up and opened it, just to slam it closed again.
"Cindy, please listen to me! It's SUPER SUPER important! Please just come out here so I can talk!" Jimmy pleaded.
Cindy slowly opened the door again and stepped out in the cold. "What?"
"Cindy...you gotta believe when I say this...I wanna be with you! I wanna marry you, I wanna have kids with you, and to be able to wake up to your beautiful face every morning, and to be able to tell you I love you."
Cindy actually shed a tear. She didn't know Jimmy felt so deeply about her.
She smiled through her happy tears, and he immediately smiled back. He kissed her, but after a moment she pulled back. "Ow..."
"Sorry...ten years..."
They smiled at each other for a moment, and then tried again. She wrapped her arms around his neck while he wrapped his around her waist, savoring the passionate kiss.
Just a few yards away, in the house next to the new lovers, Jacey, Michael, and Bret sat in the window, looking on with shock.
"I can't believe she's with him now..." Jacey said, shaking her head.
Michael pulled away and picked up a cookie. He tapped Jacey on the shoulder. "Hey, do you wanna cookie?"
"Sure."
"Oh hey Bret, wanna share this cookie with me?" Jacey turned to Bret.
"I'd be glad to."
Jacey turned to Michael again.
"Thanks Michael, you're a great friend." She turned to Bret again.
"The bestest!" Michael agreed.
Then, in sudden realization, he turned to look in the opposite direction of the window. "Oh, shit."
Ha, ha! I love the ending! But if you didn't get it, it means that Jacey just put Michael in the Friend's Zone and not Bret. Michael obviously likes Jacey more than a friend, so the situation is like Jimmy's. I hope you liked it! R&R, and I'll get up my new fic as soon as possible!
