Chapter 9
After explaining what happened to Leonard to President Siebert and Dr. Gablehauser, Howard was allowed to drive Leonard to the ER in the hopes to save his friend's vision. Moments after they got there Leonard was examined by the doctor, given powerful pain meds and his eyes were covered with bandages after receiving some special eye drops. It was at this time that his other friends were notified that he was at the ER and they showed up moments later.
" Oh my god! What the hell happened to you Leonard?! Why are there bandages on your eyes?!", Penny screamed when she saw the state her boyfriend was in.
" I accidentally shot myself in the eyes with a laser at work Penny!", Leonard said as he sat on the bed with his bandage-covered eyes.
" Yeah you accidentally shot yourself Leonard because you wouldn't shut up about that Meghann girl.", Howard pointed out as he rolled his eyes.
" That girl's name is Meghann?!", Amy screamed.
" Yeah Ames, we found that out when we were playing Halo on Xbox Live the other night. She was on there playing with her friends and Sheldon was playing with them.", Penny said.
" Well what is he doing with her?! Is he dating her?! Please don't tell me he's dating her!", Amy hissed.
" We don't know Amy because she kicked us out of the game before we could ask any more questions.", Penny said.
" She's trying to hide something is what it is! I'm gonna kill her!", Amy hissed.
" She didn't sound like she was trying to hide anything Amy. All she said was that her and Sheldon are just roommates.", Howard said.
" That's what she wants us to think! I know there's got to be something more going on than that!", Amy hissed.
" I don't think so Ames. I just looked up her Facebook profile and it looks like she already has a boyfriend.", Penny said as she flashed her phone by her best friend's face.
" What?! Gimme that! Let me see!", Amy interjected as she snatched Penny's phone out of her hand and looked at what was on the screen. Sure enough it was Meghann's Facebook account. As Amy scrolled down she began to see numerous pictures of Meghann with a very good looking young guy wearing a baseball cap on his head. The pictures showed the two of them hanging out together and in some of them they were smiling and even kissing each other.
" You're right Penny, look at this.", Amy said as she showed Penny the pictures.
" Oh, wow, he's a good looking dude!", Penny exclaimed. Then she asked, " What's this guy's name?"
" Um, it says his name is Journey Adam Blaker.", Amy said when she saw the relationship status at the top of the page.
" Well, see? There you go. I think you can now cool it with the desire to kill her Amy. She obviously looks like she's really happy with this Journey guy.", Penny said.
" Does it say anything about where Meghann lives? Because if it does we'll know where Sheldon's at.", Howard asked.
" No dice, it doesn't say anything.", Penny said as she tried to search for Meghann's address but found nothing.
" Damn it! The girl is so smart! What about her boyfriend?! Check his page, maybe he's got something.", Leonard hissed.
" Nope, he doesn't have anything either.", Penny said after she searched Journey's page but once again found nothing.
" Well wait a minute you guys, something doesn't make any sense here! If that girl already has a boyfriend, then why is Sheldon living with her?!", Raj asked in confusion.
" No one knows Raj!", Leonard shot back.
" Maybe she's a cheater!", Penny exclaimed with a gasp.
" Oh I'm so gonna kill her if that's the case!", Amy shouted in anger.
" What in the name of the Lord is all this tom foolery about?! What are y'all talking about?!", Mrs. Cooper asked in somewhat of a southern drawl as she suddenly showed up.
" We discovered the name of the girl that Sheldon's been staying with.", Penny said.
" Oh Heavenly Father what did you do now?! I thought I told you that Sheldon said not to worry about him and to leave him alone?! Even though I would like to know where he is!", Mrs. Cooper scolded.
" We were until Leonard decided he wanted to play Halo on Xbox Live the other night and we weren't just going to say no to him so we got on there and surprisingly we ran into her because she was apparently on there playing with her friends and Sheldon was playing with them!", Howard interjected.
" Well how does this tie into y'all knowing what her name is?!", Mrs. Cooper scolded.
" Because she flat out told us when I asked her, " Who is this?!", Penny said.
" Yeah, she said that her name was Meghann Brissette and she's 18 years old.", Raj said.
" What?! So let me get this straight! My genius 36 year old son is living with an 18 year old girl?! Am I hearing this right?!", Mrs. Cooper scolded as she placed her hands on her hips.
" Yeah!", Leonard, Howard, Raj and Penny said.
" Oh I'm really gonna smack the bejesus out of him now! That boy may be smart but sometimes he does the dumbest things ever!", Mrs. Cooper scolded.
" I think we can all agree on that!", Leonard interjected.
" Lord in Heaven, what happened to your eyes Leonard?! Why are they covered in bandages?!", Mrs. Cooper gasped when she stared at Leonard.
" Because I accidentally shot myself in the eyes with a laser at work.", Leonard said.
" Heavenly Father how did that transpire?! What kind of Tom foolery were you doing to cause that?!", Mrs. Cooper interjected.
" He was ranting on and on about Meghann and how upset he was that Sheldon chose to be roommates with her that he accidentally slammed his fist down on the button that activates the laser which shot a beam out like a rocket, ricocheting off of several objects in the laboratory before it bounced off a computer screen and back at him, hitting him in the eyes.", Howard said.
" Thanks for summing that up Wolowitz!", Leonard hissed at his friend.
" That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard!", Mrs. Cooper interjected.
" Well it's true.", Howard said.
Back in New York City at the Brissettes house while Sheldon and Meghann were still sleeping something shady was starting to happen. Twister stealthfully poked his head up in front of the window outside Meghann's and Sheldon's bedroom to spy on the two sleeping roommates. He had a look of evil in his eyes as an evil smirk began to spread across his face.
" Perfect! Those two morrons are down for the count!", Twister maliciously said.
" This plan should be a lot easier than we anticipated!", Rebecca maliciously said as she poked her head up to get a view.
" I agree, but what was the plan again?!", Dr. Blowhole maliciously asked as he poked his head up too.
" I already told you what the plan is you dummy!", Twister hissed as he smacked his mad scientist friend upside the head. Then he evilly said, " We're going to capture them and take them to Camp Driftwood! We'll hold them captive in the camp's police station! Surely nobody will know where they are which makes it the perfect place to kill them! Victory shall be ours!"
" You got that?!", Rebecca hissed.
" Yes I remember that now.", Dr. Blowhole said a little loudly.
" Would you keep it down Dr. Blowhole?! You're going to compromise the whole plan if you don't shut up!", Twister hissed.
" Whatever you say Twister.", Dr. Blowhole said. Twister acknowledged that and pulled out a small metal chizzle from his back pocket. He quietly jammed it underneath the window and cracked it open. The three villains quietly snuck into the bedroom and when Rebecca noticed Cali curled up on Sheldon's face she quietly hissed, " Oh great, it's that devil Calico of a cat!"
" I'll handle this! Scram Cali!", Twister quietly hissed at Cali as he pointed his finger at the door. Cali jumped up hissing at him before she bolted out of the room. Surprisingly this didn't wake Sheldon up and he only shifted position before settling back down. But before the villains could do anything, Dr. Blowhole suddenly let out a loud sneeze causing Meghann to wake up screaming as well as Sheldon who screamed, "Danger! Danger!" Rebecca gave Dr. Blowhole an angry glare with her arms crossed in front of her.
" Nice going Elliot! You just ruined everything!", Twister hissed as he got up in his friend's face.
" Oh don't solely blame me for this Twister!", Dr. Blowhole hissed.
" You're the one who sneezed like a gorrilla in the first place!", Twister hissed.
" You don't even know what a gorrilla sneezing sounds like!", Dr. Blowhole hissed.
" OH SHUT UP!", Twister shouted.
" What's going on here?!", Sheldon shouted as he got out of his bed.
" Yeah! What are you three idiots doing in our room?!", Meghann shouted as she got up as well.
" That's none of your business what we're doing here you little demon!", Twister shouted at her.
" Excuse me but I object to you calling her that! That is very offensive!", Sheldon shouted.
" Yeah! Stop calling me that Twister! I hate it when you call me that!", Meghann shouted.
" I'll call you that all I want Meghann because that's what you are to me! You're a little pain in my a** and I want you gone from the face of the Earth! Especially you too Dr. Cooper! You are really starting to piss me off! I have never started to hate someone other than my enemy as much as I hate you right now!", Twister shouted.
" Your threats toward me are empty! Nothing can move me!", Sheldon interjected.
" You want to say that again smart mouth?!", Twister shouted as he invaded Sheldon's personal space.
" I would prefer that you refrain from calling me that and I would also advise you, your sister and your ridiculous friend to leave my roommate and I alone! Get out of our house before you leave me no choice but to call the police!", Sheldon interjected.
" I don't think so! You two are so going to get what you deserve and you're not going to interfere this time! It's time to introduce you two to a whole world of torture and misery!", Twister shouted.
" And what exactly does that entail?!", Meghann shouted but the second she did, her and Sheldon suddenly found themselves in the back of Twister's truck, sitting across from each other. They each had a wrist handcuffed to the seat.
" Of course! Should have seen that coming!", Meghann hissed under her breath.
" For shame Meghann. Next time you should really think about what you say before you say it.", Sheldon said as he narrowed his eyes at her.
" Yeah thanks for the tip Dr. Sheldon Cooper!", Meghann hissed.
" Hey don't give me that tone. You're the one who got us captured.", Sheldon said.
" Yeah I know! I'm a terrible person!", Meghann hissed.
" Not necessarily. You just made an obnoxious mistake.", Sheldon said.
" Oh please, you're just saying that because you can't find another way to criticize me Dr. Cooper.", Meghann said as she rolled her eyes.
" I completely reject your assumption! I'm not criticizing you Meghann! That couldn't be any farther from the truth!", Sheldon interjected.
" You know what, could we please just stop talking?", Meghann asked as she shifted in her seat. The handcuffs rattled against the seat at the sudden movement.
" Fair enough.", Sheldon said. Silence fell between the two of them for a few minutes but then Sheldon looked over his shoulder out the window next to him and asked, " Good Lord where the hell is he taking us?! This is beginning to concern me greatly!"
" I know exactly where he's taking us. I know these roads like the back of my hand. My friends do too.", Meghann said.
" Interesting. Exactly where are you referring to Meghann?", Sheldon asked.
Well if my suspicions are correct Dr. Cooper he should be taking us directly to Camp Driftwood.", Meghann said.
" Is that the name of the summer camp you go to?", Sheldon asked.
" Yeah it is.", Meghann said.
" How in the name of Einstein does Twister know how to get there?!", Sheldon asked.
" Because he tracks my every move through my cell phone. It doesn't matter what time of day it is or what day it is in general he just pretty much stalks me 24/7.", Meghann said.
" Ok that also greatly concerns me as well. You should really consider getting a new phone and change your password.", Sheldon said.
" Would you keep it down Dr. Cooper! Do you want Twister to hear you?!", Meghann said.
" Exactly how can he hear us Meghann?! There's a steel metal wall right here!", Sheldon shot back at his roommate as he jerked his handcuffed wrist toward the wall that separated them from the villains pointing his finger at it. The restraint made a loud rattling sound.
" Trust me he can hear you dude. You're not the only one here with sensitive hearing. Twister basically has the hearing of a dog.", Meghann said.
" That's preposterous!", Sheldon interjected.
" You two better shut your pieholes back there before you make me drown you two in the lake when we get there!", Twister's voice shouted through the innercom.
" We're going to talk in here all we want Twister! Shut up! Quit shouting at me and my roommate through your stupid innercom!", Meghann shouted through the wall before she kicked it with her foot aggressively.
" To hell with your roommate! He's a giant pain in the ass who's pissing me off!", Twister's voice shouted back.
" Excuse me but I'm offended by that! Please refrain from saying that!", Sheldon interjected.
" Shut your mouth Sheldon! You're going to rue the day that you crossed paths with me! By the time I'm done with you and Meghann you two are going to be history!", Twister's voice shouted back.
" You know what Twister you can suck it and listen to this!", Meghann shouted as she used her free hand to pull out her phone from her pocket. As she was scrolling through her playlist Sheldon asked in confusion, " What are you doing Meghann?"
" Torturing my enemy Dr. Cooper.", Meghann said with an evil smirk on her face as she found Boom Boom Pow by The Black Eyed Peas and hit play. She turned the volume up full blast, letting the obnoxious hip-hop techno beat of the song bounce off the walls inside of her enemy's truck.
" Oh hell no! You are not playing that hellish song in my truck Meghann!", Twister's voice shouted.
" Yeah I am Twister so shut up and deal with it!", Meghann shouted as she began to nod her head in time with the music. The evil smirk that she dawned on her face grew wider as she started to tap her foot on the floor.
" Whatever you're thinking back there you little demon don't you dare do it!", Twister's voice shouted.
" Oh I'm gonna and you can't stop me! You're going to get your daily dosage of teenage hell!", Meghann shouted as her movements became more erratic. It was then that Sheldon started to become amused even though he didn't know what the hell his roommate was plotting to do. As Meghann was bobbing around she started to swing her handcuffed wrist and bang her fist on the wall to the beat of the music causing Sheldon to dawn a smirk on his face as well. He started to bang his head against the wall and Meghann started to laugh.
" Yeah there you go! That's it!", Meghann laughed as she kept bobbing around and banging her fist into the wall.
" Good Lord this is starting to become exhilarating!", Sheldon exclaimed.
" Yeah I agree! Screw you Twister Giddeon! Drop this you psychopath!", Meghann shouted as she continued laughing and being obnoxious. Normally Sheldon wouldn't have appreciated this but surprisingly in this moment he was actually having fun with it. Meghann was too but unfortunately Twister was not amused. When he finally drove his truck into the camp he angrily parked it outside of the camp's police station, got out, slammed the door shut, stormed toward the back of his truck, ripped the door open and angrily said, " Ok that's it you little punks, you're going to feel my wrath! Come here!"
" Oh hell no!", Meghann screamed as she was suddenly jerked out of the truck and then her arms were restrained behind her.
" Oh dear Lord! Don't touch me please!", Sheldon screamed as the same thing was done to him.
" Shut up, let's go! Move it!", Twister shouted as he started dragging them aggressively into the station with them screaming in terror at the top of their lungs. Once inside Twister hacked the computer system that controls the cell doors using his computer and opened one of cells.
" Get in there you trouble making miscreants!", Twister shouted as he roughly shoved the two roommates into the cell.
" Ow! Watch where you're shoving you idiot!", Meghann shouted as she landed on her face.
" Yes I don't appreciate this disrespectful mistreatment of us!", Sheldon shouted.
" Shut up Dr. Cooper! I don't want to hear another word out of you or Meghann! I'm the warden so I call the shots here!", Twister shouted as he shut the cell door with his computer. The door made a loud metallic click as it latched itself causing Meghann to spring up from the floor and angrily kick the door.
" Excuse me but you can't just appoint yourself to police warden! You are not a police officer nor do you have the training to do so!", Sheldon shouted through the bars of the cell.
" I can do whatever the hell I want Sheldon Cooper! I suggest you shut your mouth before you set yourself up to be killed first!", Twister shouted as he sat down behind a desk, setting his computer down onto it.
" What?! Now you're appointing us to Death Row?! This is ridiculous!", Sheldon shouted.
" You won't get away with this Twister!", Meghann shouted.
" I said shut up! You're my prisoners and I can do whatever the hell I want to you!", Twister shouted as he leaned back in his seat and put his feet up on the desk next to his computer.
" Yeah so shut up before I shred you to pieces with my chainsaw!", Rebecca shouted as she slammed her hand on the cell door.
" Good Lord woman what is up with your obsession with that thing?! I might as well be watching a weird love affair by the way you talk about that stupid piece of hardware!", Sheldon shouted.
" My chainsaw is not stupid Dr. Cooper! It was given to me as a present for my 13th birthday!", Rebecca shouted.
" Oh what fresh hell is this?! Just how nuts are you people?! This is just absolute chaos and I can't handle it!", Sheldon shouted.
" Shut your mouth physicist!", Dr. Blowhole shouted.
" Excuse me but that's theoretical physicist to you! Get my title right and take that ridiculous headband off your head! You look more like a hippie than a mad scientist!", Sheldon shouted at him. Meghann busted out laughing the second he said that.
" That's a good one Dr. Cooper!", Meghann laughed.
" Shut your piehole Meghann!", Twister shouted.
" Stop yelling at her and wait a minute, is that a police officer behind you?!", Sheldon interjected as he pointed behind Twister.
" What?! Where?! Oh hell Rebecca, Dr. Blowhole, run!", Twister shouted as he frantically ran in circles before he made a break for it out of the room with his sister and his friend but of course there was nobody there.
" Typical idiot! I can't believe he fell victim to one of my classic pranks, Bazinga!", Sheldon said with a smirk on his face as he shook his head.
" Twister's so gullible he'll believe anything!", Meghann laughed.
" Yes well now with that being said let's figure out how to get out of here.", Sheldon said.
" It isn't simple to do. The doors can only be opened and closed by a computer system.", Meghann said.
" No problem, I have my laptop right here.", Sheldon said as he pulled his laptop out of his messenger bag that he had slung over his shoulder. He set it on his lap and opened it up.
" What are you… oh I know what you're doing! You're going to try to hack Twister's computer aren't you Dr. Cooper?!", Meghann asked as she stared at him.
" That's exactly what I'm going to do Meghann! Twister's not the only one who can hack things, I've had my fair share of doing that a few times too! My former friends have always told me that I'm one lab accident away from becoming a supervillain!", Sheldon said as he went onto Google.
" That's crazy Dr. Cooper!", Meghann laughed.
" Maybe to you but it's actually true. I've always had somewhat of a dark side in me.", Sheldon said.
" Really? You seem so calm and quiet most of the time though.", Meghann asked in confusion as she stared at her roommate.
" Yes but sometimes that behavior can be deadly, especially to those who deserve it.", Sheldon said.
" You wouldn't kill me would you?", Meghann asked.
" Oh good heavens no! I'd end up in jail if I did that!", Sheldon exclaimed.
" Um technically we're in jail right now because Twister just locked us in a jail cell.", Meghann said.
" Yes I'm very aware of our situation right now.", Sheldon said. Then he asked, " So you said that this place is called Camp Driftwood?"
" Yes.", Meghann said as she nodded her head.
" Alright, well, we shall now go to the website and see what kind of trouble we can stir up here.", Sheldon said as he typed the name of the camp in the search bar and clicked on the website. He found a side tab for the Camp Driftwood Police Station and then found the control panel for the cell doors as well as Twister's entire computer system network.
" Ah ha found it! Now let's see what this villain put as his stupid password for his stupid firewall!", Sheldon said as the evil smirk returned to his face. He thought for a minute before he made a guess at the password. Surprisingly he guessed the right password on the first try.
" What an idiot! In what universe is TGVortex2 a secure password?!", Sheldon interjected as he shook his head.
" He's a retard is more like it!", Meghann laughed. Then she asked, " Now that you're in past his firewall what are you going to do now Dr. Cooper?"
" I'm going to destroy it beyond repair using a Self-Destruct program.", Sheldon said as he was typing a bunch of codes in.
" You're going to use self-destruction to completely crash and shut down my enemy's computer?! That is diabolical! You really do seem to have the mind of a supervillain!", Meghann laughed.
" I know. Now watch this.", Sheldon said as he tapped a button on his keyboard.
" Computer, this is Dr. Sheldon Cooper.", Sheldon said into the internal microphone on his laptop which gave off a loud beep. Then he said, " Activate Self-Destruct sequence." A voice on Twister's computer suddenly said, " Self-Destruct sequence activated."
" Is it running now?", Meghann asked.
" Yes the entire system should self-destruct in 5 minutes.", Sheldon said.
" You are so evil!", Meghann laughed.
" Yes and before I do anything else, I'm going to change the password to SuckOnThisTG!", Sheldon said with an evil smirk as he reset the password on Twister's computer. Then he said, " And now for the moment of truth…" as he hit another button on his laptop which unlocked the cell door and it slid open.
" Eureka! It worked!", Sheldon exclaimed as he clenched his fist in victory.
" Nice going dude!", Meghann exclaimed.
" Thank you.", Sheldon said as he put his laptop back into his messenger bag and stepped outside of the cell with Meghann. But, the second they did Meghann began to hear the angry voices of her enemy, his sister and his friend coming back toward them.
" Oh shit! They're coming back in here Dr. Cooper! Hide!", Meghann hissed as she ran behind a wall and hid there.
" Oh good Lord!", Sheldon exclaimed as he followed suit. Twister's computer went completely dead a minute before the villains came back into the room.
" Dr. Sheldon Cooper you lying little sack of sh*t I'm gonna…! What the…?!", Twister shouted as he reentered the room with his sister and his friend.
" They escaped!", Rebecca shouted when she saw the open jail cell.
" Damn it! Where did they go and wait a second why is my computer screen dark?! Why won't this thing work anymore?! Come on and work you worthless piece of crap!", Twister shouted as he tried to get his computer to work again but to no avail. Sheldon then walked up behind him with an evil smirk on his face and said, " I destroyed it beyond repair using a Self-Destruct sequence.
" You hacked my computer and blew it up?!", Twister shouted when he spun around to face Sheldon.
" Yes and if I'm permitted to say this, Dr. Sheldon Cooper for the win! Wah ha ha!", Sheldon exclaimed before he started running away letting out a gaspy laugh.
" Later loser Giddeon! Catch you on the flip side!", Meghann laughed as she sprinted after Sheldon.
" It's Twister Giddeon! Oh why did I say that?! Get back here! I'm going to kill you for that you rodeo clown physicist!", Twister shouted as he ran after the two roommates.
" Once again that's theoretical physicist to you!", Sheldon interjected as he continued to run.
" Yeah what he said! Beat it Twister!", Meghann laughed as she continued running as well.
" Shut up Meghann Rose Brissette! I'm going to squash you and Dr. Sheldon Cooper like bugs once I get my hands on you two! You're going to drown in the lake Meghann and YOU, Dr. Cooper, are going to be torn apart with my sister's chainsaw and then cremated to ashes after I cremate Meghann!", Twister shouted as he continued to chase them.
" I think not! Dear Lord Twister, exactly just how psychopathic are you?!", Sheldon screamed.
" That's none of your business you little condescending son of a bitch!", Twister shouted.
" He's extremely psychopathic! He's always been in that funk and is never going to get out of it!", Meghann laughed.
" I TOLD YOU TO SHUT UP!", Twister shouted as he lunged at Meghann but at the last minute they managed to lose him off their tail and hid up in a tree.
" Hey! Where did you two morrons go?! You think this is funny?!", Twister shouted as he began running every which way looking for them. Rebecca and Dr. Blowhole joined in the search too.
" Oh great! Seriously this is what it comes down to?! An 18 year old girl and a Doctor hiding in a tree?!", Meghann hissed.
" I know this seems highly unconventional Meghann but we should be safe here at least for a little while. People rarely look up.", Sheldon said as he pressed his back against the trunk of the tree.
" Well for your sake I hope you're right because I don't want to get killed.", Meghann said.
" I don't either. There's so many things that I haven't accomplished yet. Someday I'm determined to win a Nobel Prize for my accomplishments in science.", Sheldon said.
" Well that's a great goal to reach Dr. Cooper.", Meghann said.
" Correction it's a prestegious goal to reach Meghann.", Sheldon said. Meghann nodded her head. Then she asked, " Hey, do you think they left? I don't hear their voices anymore."
" Perhaps they have considering the fact that I no longer hear them as well.", Sheldon said.
" Do you want to get out of this tree and head home?", Meghann asked.
" Yes very much so.", Sheldon said.
" Ok, I hope I don't become effected by the laws of gravity on the way down. Hey do you mind handing me your messenger bag so you don't end up breaking your laptop on the way down?"
" I'm tempted to say no but I also don't wish to damage my laptop so I shall give it to you under the condition that you be extremely careful with it. Because if I see one dent or scratch on it you'll receive a strike when we get home.", Sheldon said.
" Fair enough. Hand it over.", Meghann said as she held out her hand.
" Alright.", Sheldon said as he gently slid his messenger bag off his shoulder and handed it to her. Meghann carefully slid it over her shoulder before she began to climb down the tree. Sheldon followed her and when they reached the ground Meghann handed him his bag back.
" Thank you.", Sheldon said as he slung his bag back over his shoulder.
" We should probably get out of here before Twister, Rebecca and Dr. Blowhole come back Dr. Cooper.", Meghann said.
" I couldn't agree with you more Meghann. Let's go home.", Sheldon said as they started walking together.
" You want to go back to sleep a little more?", Meghann asked as she scratched the back of her head.
" Yes I would.", Sheldon said. They left the camp and walked the next few miles to get home. Once they got home they went back to sleep. They were unaware that the villains were still searching for them. A few hours later when the sun started going down after they got up two hours earlier Meghann's phone suddenly started ringing. It was Journey.
" Hey Journey.", Meghann said with a smile as she answered her phone.
" Hey Meghann, listen, could you meet me down at the New York City Harbor for a moment? I have something to tell you and unfortunately it's not good.", Journey said with a sad sigh. His voice sounded very upset like he was on the verge of crying.
" Um, sure I guess. I'll be right there.", Meghann said as her smile fell from her face. She then hung up the phone and just as she was throwing her shoes on her mother asked, " Meghann where are you going?"
" I'm going to meet Journey down by the harbor for a moment mom. He says he has something to tell me. I'll be right back. Please tell Dr. Cooper where I'm going so that he doesn't freak out.", Meghann said with a sigh as she opened the front door.
" Of course honey.", Mrs. Brissette said.
" Thanks mom. See ya.", Meghann said as she walked out the door. Mrs. Brissette then walked upstairs and told Sheldon where Meghann was going. Meanwhile Meghann a good few blocks down the street and when she got to the harbor Journey was already there standing on the dock waiting for her. His car was parked in the parking lot across the street.
" Hey, what's up?", Meghann asked as she approached him waving her hand.
" Sit down. I have something to tell you.", Journey sadly sighed as he sat down on the edge of the dock, dangling his feet over the edge. Meghann followed suit.
" What is it?", Meghann asked as she looked at her boyfriend. Journey gently took Meghann's hand in his, sadly sighed and said, " This is going to be one of the hardest things I have to do and I love you so much, but, unfortunately we can't be together anymore."
" What?! Why?!", Meghann asked in confusion.
" Well, you know my Aunt Stella? The one I told you that lives out in Garden City, NY?", Journey sadly sighed again.
" Yeah, what about her?", Meghann asked.
" Well, I just found out that she's very sick with Alzheimer's and unfortunately she can't live alone anymore. My family and I have to move in with her to take care of her.", Journey sadly said.
" You're leaving New York City?", Meghann sadly asked.
" Yeah.", Journey sadly said as he looked down at the water.
" When?", Meghann sadly asked.
" Tomorrow morning. I wanted to tell you right away so that you didn't think I had abandoned you.", Journey sadly said.
" I appreciate your honesty.", Meghann sadly said.
" Thanks.", Journey sadly said. Then he let go of Meghann's hand and sadly interjected, " This just sucks, you know!" as he upsettingly whipped his baseball cap off his head and slammed it down next to him on the dock. He covered his face with his hands as he started to huff and puff.
" Yeah it does. But listen Journey if we really have to break up, then could you promise me one thing?", Meghann sadly asked.
" Sure what is it Meghann?", Journey sadly asked as he looked at her.
" That you never forget me.", Meghann sadly said.
" Of course I'll never forget you. I love you and I always will, even if that means we're going to be living in different cities.", Journey sadly said.
" Oh Journey.", Meghann sadly said as she embraced him. A tear suddenly started to slowly stream down her cheek. Journey then kissed her one last time and sadly said, " I'm going to miss you so much."
" I'm going to miss you too. So, I guess this is it, huh?", Meghann sadly said.
" Yeah, I guess so.", Journey sadly said. He then picked up his baseball cap as he stood up and sadly said, " Well, I got to go. Goodbye Meghann."
" Goodbye Journey.", Meghann sadly said as she looked at her now ex-boyfriend with tear glistening eyes. Journey looked at her for a moment before he turned around a started walking away. As he walked away back toward his car he tried so hard to fight back the tears that were threatening to come down his face. Who could blame him? He had just broken up with the girl he loved. The second he got back into his car though is when he completely lost control. He slammed his face down on the steering wheel, bawling his eyes out. He had never thought that this day would come. He had thought that him and Meghann would last forever.
" Come on Journey, pull yourself together! Be a man dammit! A true man doesn't break down over a lost relationship! He deals with it with dignity!", Journey choked out as he sat in his car trying to compose himself but then he looked over his shoulder out at Meghann was still sitting on the dock looking out a the water. Her faint silhouette figure and the breeze running through her hair as the sun disappeared over the horizon made him start bawling his eyes out again.
" Oh who am I kidding?! MEGHANN!", Journey cried as he threw his face down again. After a few minutes he managed to compose himself enough to start his car and drive away. Once he was gone Meghann then stood up and looked at her half of a heart necklace that was around her neck. Journey had the other half with her name engraved on it while she had the one with his name engraved. She sadly looked at it for a few minutes before she yanked it off her neck and threw it into the harbor. Meghann then dropped to her knees and curled up in a fetal position. She laid there as tears continued to stream from her face. It was then that Sheldon found her.
" There you are. I was starting to become a little concerned since you didn't come back.", Sheldon said but then when he noticed his roommate was huddled in a fetal position he asked, " Are you alright?"
" I don't want to talk right now. I'm really upset.", Meghann sadly said as she continued to lay there.
" I'm sensing something's wrong here. What happened?", Sheldon asked.
" Journey and I just broke up!", Meghann sobbed as she sat up burying her face into her hands.
" Why?", Sheldon asked.
" He's moving out of the city tomorrow! His aunt is very sick with Alzheimer's and she can't live alone anymore so his family has to move in with her! She lives in Garden City, NY!", Meghann sobbed.
" Well I'm very sorry.", Sheldon said as he approached her from behind and knelt down behind her, gently placing his hands on her shoulders.
" I really loved him but now we can't see each other anymore! I feel so alone!", Meghann sobbed.
" Well I wouldn't say that Meghann.", Sheldon said.
" What do you mean by that?!", Meghann cried as she looked at him. Sheldon gently pulls her up to her feet and says, " I'm not very good with words, but, you're not alone. There's no reason to feel alone. You have your family, your friends and me."
" Thanks Dr. Cooper.", Meghann sniffled.
" And althought I would never admit something like this, but, ever since I've been living with you I've started to become attracted to you.", Sheldon said.
" Really? But you said that…", Meghann started to say after she let the last of her tears fall but was interrupted.
" I know I said that, but, there comes a point in one's life where it's hard for them to not give into their feelings. And that's what I feel like is happening with me right now.", Sheldon said.
" So what are you saying? Are you basically asking me to be your girlfriend?", Meghann asked in confusion as she stared at the tall, lanky physicist standing in front of her.
" Again, not good with words but yes.", Sheldon said as a soft smile began to spread across his face. Meghann started thinking about what he said as she took her phone out of her pocket. She went to her Facebook account and saw that Journey had already removed their relationship status. She then closed out of it, clicked on her camera, turned to look at Sheldon and said, " How's this for an adequet answer Dr. Cooper?" Sparks flew like fireworks inside of Sheldon's heart as Meghann kissed him taking a picture of it with her phone. Since it was dark she had the flash on when she took it. She then took it to Facebook and began to type: For those of you who don't know what love is, love is not just one of those one night stand moments, it's something completely special. Love is a feeling of happiness, honesty, contentment and satisfaction. Tonight was a sad night but was also a happy one. Two major life events have happened to me all within a few minutes of each other. It was one the worst and best moments of my life. The worst being Journey and I have sadly broken up because of family issues. He is moving out of the city to live with his aunt who has Alzheimer's and can not live on her own anymore. But, on the other hand, I have gained something as well. Who would have thought that a complete stranger coming into my life would impact it so much? He may be a little nuts but that doesn't matter. We may not agree sometimes but that's ok. I feel like I've been around him and known him for a long time just to get the sense of who he is as a person. We may have not liked each other the first time we met but I can honestly say that we like each other now and I have no doubt it will continue. Dr. Sheldon Cooper is more than just my roommate and friend, he's my reason for living. So, therefore I'm happy to say we are now together. We may be 18 years apart, He 36 and I 18 but that doesn't mean anything. After all age is just a number, right? Although I will always have a special place in my heart for Journey, I will now have one for Dr. Cooper as well. My heart is broken because I lost Journey tonight but at the same I'm happy because it brought my roommate and I together. Life has never felt so good. #M.R.B and Dr. S. C forever.
After she posted her status with the picture she then went to her relationship status. With a shaking finger and the song Hallelujah by Rufus Wainwright playing in the background she typed in Dr. Sheldon Cooper in the status and then hit submit. Within a few minutes of doing that she started getting messages up the wazoo from her friends and even Journey texted her saying, " Congratulations Meghann." But Leo's message took the cake. He said, " Omg! I'm so coming over there tomorrow so you can tell me everything! So sorry about Journey, but, congratulations bestie! :)
Meghann smiled a little at this while Sheldon looked at Meghann's Facebook status. He asked her, " Do you really mean every word you said here Meghann?"
" Of course I do Dr. Cooper.", Meghann said as she looked at her roommate who was now her boyfriend as well.
" Interesting, but I'm not quite sure…", Sheldon started to say but Meghann interjected, " Oh just shut up and kiss me!"
" Very well.", Sheldon said with a smile as he kissed her. As they stood there kissing each other Meghann whispered in his ear, " I love you."
" I love you too.", Sheldon said as he continued smiling at her. The two of them continued to stand there for the next few minutes, kissing each other while wrapped in each other's arms.
Aww, wasn't that a touching moment?! What do you think will happen next with these two now that they're a couple? And also what do you think will happen when the rest of the gang finds out? Let me know in the comments. To be continued…
