Editor: Yeah, same here.

With each tick of the hand on the clock he feels his sanity slipping.

It's been two years since Kelsey. Poor amy killed herself. Leonard's moved, the hatred he felt for both of them since Sheldon told him that him and Penny kissed. Maybe they rest never really liked Sheldon.

Unfortunately, Penny's stopped talking to him; he sees her every day, but they just keep walking passing in the hallway or the stairs. He knows she hates him she has the right to he fucked everything up, like always.

Sheldon is sitting in his spot

Sheldon: I apologized, I don't understand why she can't forgive me.

David: Why the fuck would she?

Sheldon: Bcause I apologized.

David: Doesn't really work like that; you have to do more than just apologize.

Sheldon: Like what?

David: Sheldon! She kissed you. She basically said she loves you, and you betrayed her. You can't blame her for being mad, and I wish we could.

Sheldon: We are alone.

David: I know, we have to go.

As Sheldon is leaving his apartment, he sees Penny and a strange man standing at her door. She kisses him goodbye, the man turns and begins to walk towards the stairs.

Sheldon and Penny look gazes before he breaks away looking to the floor. She just turns around and walks back into her apartment shutting the door behind he. Sheldon walks down the stairs.

Later on at Sheldon's work.

Sheldon is sitting at a table by himself in the cafeteria no Leonard no Howard no Raj.

David: That can't be healthy.

Sheldon: What are you talking about, it's a salad.

David: Not the food, Penny having that many men. Idon't know, I'm just thinking.

Meanwhile at the Cheesecake Factory Penny is talking to another waitress.

Penny: I know I should probably move, but just the thought of him being truly alone, I can't bear it.

Waitress: I thought you hated him?

Penny: No I don't hate him. I'm just so mad at him, but I don't want to be mad at him anymore. It's been 2 years; I should let it go.

Waitress: Girl that seems way too complicated. That's your table.

She points

Penny turns to see a man sitting at a table by himself; she's never seen him in here before.

The man is Tdom, but he's cleaned up. Still long hair, but clean shaven; wearing really nice clothes.

She walks over to him.

Tdom: Hey.

Meanwhile, Sheldon is in the bathroom at work washing his hands. When he looks into the mirror he steps back, startled. Blood is running down it and in the reflection he sees Amy, Kelsey, Bernadette and Penny standing behind him. He can only stare as be begins to shake.

Sheldon: What is this? We're better!?

Kelsey: No!

Suddenly, Sheldon's phone begins ringing. He pulls it out of his pocket looking at it shocked by the caller id. He answers it to hear a voice he hasn't in a very long time.

Sheldon: Hello.

Penny: Hey Sheldon. I know this is out of the blue, but I need to tell you something. You betrayed me and I was mad at you; but I forgive you and I still love you. I understand if you moved on, but I need you.

Click she's gone.

David: Holy fucking shit.

Sheldon: I don't know what's going on.

David: What are the chances. The odds that we see them, and then she calls us. What is that, is that even possible?

Sheldon: No... I can't do this not again, but I guess.

David: Fuck! Mcfuck fuck!

Sheldon: We're trapped in this paradox. No Way Out, stuck forever and ever. We crawl on our hands and knees; trying to hold on to the little sanity we have but it's gone. I should lay down and let the Earth take me because that... That is all I have left to give to this world; it's kicked me in the teeth over and over again!

David: Death is not an option, not for you!

Meanwhile

Tdom is standing in front of Penny, who is tied up in a chair.

Tdom: I'm so glad you decided to make the call, because I really did not want to hurt you. Well maybe a little, but you can't blame me I'm fucking nuts.

Penny: (crying) Are you going to kill him?

Tdom: No, I'm going to tickle him. Yeah, bitch I'm going to kill him! Stupid fucking question.

Penny:(crying) Why?

Tdom: Why does the Joker wants to kill Batman? Well actually that's abad example. Why does Bane want to kill Batman? See what I'm painting for you?

Penny: Hatred.

Tdom: (Laughing) You're not just a dumb blonde. Tgere's actually something turning up there. My mama said you shouldn't judge a book by its fine ass cover; well paraphrasing.

A little bit later

Tdom: Hey sweet stuff, you know I know something about you that you don't even know about yourself.

Penny: What do you know?

Tdom: I know you hate Sheldon just as much as me since he ruined your life.

Penny:(crying) No! That's not true.

Tdom: Well if I'm mistaken... Sorry, but I don't think I am. I don't even need my gift I can read it on your face. I want to see if I got this right. You kissed each other, he told your boyfriend; sorry ex-boyfriend. Am I in the ballpark?

He walks over to live her downcast head so he can look into her eyes.

Tdom: Yeah I think I am. Well bitch, I have something else to tell you. Sheldon fucked your life even worse than that.

Penny: How asshole?

Tdom: I'm going to let that slide and tell you anyway. Well, sort of.

Sheldon standing at Penny's door, staring at a note that is posted on that simply says, "The dirty old man" and a phone number.

Sheldon: Tge dirty old man, Tdom.

David: Yup.

Sheldon picks up his phone and dials number.

Tdom:( voice) Hello Sheldon.

Sheldon: Where is she!

Tdom:(voice) Did you like my note.

David: Listen to me cocksucker! If you harm one fucking hair on her head I'll fuck you up, you understand me? You cock sucking motherfucker!

Tdom: David, still butthurt over that girl? No well, okay to answer your question turn around.

Sheldon turns around to see penny pointing a gun at him.

Sheldon: What are you doing?

Penny: You ruined my life!

Sheldon: I get it, I should have never told Leonard. I'm sorry, but you don't want to do this.

Penny: No, that's not everything. I was going to be a pharmacist reo; I was going to be married to a man that loves me. You took all that away.

David: What the fuck are you talking about?

Penny: Shut up! I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to Sheldon.

Sheldon: You know?

Penny: Yes! he showed me everything and I mean everything. You have to die!

Sheldon: Penny please, I know what he showed you must have felt real, but it ain't true.

Penny: It was true enough!

Sheldon: I get it what he can do is amazing,but it's evil trust me I know.

She pulls the hammer back.

Sheldon\david: Penny!

There isfear penny eyes.

Penny: There are two of you, two voices.

Sheldon\david: Like we said, put down the gun! Let us show you something.

she drops the gun, as Sheldon walks towards her. He reaches his hand out placing it on her face softly rubbing her cheek.

Sheldon: Everything I've done is because I love you.

She hugs him has he holds her in his arms.

Tdom: Isn't that sweet.

David quickly pulls Penny behind him. As Tdom stands there pointing a gun at them.

Tdom: Bitch! All you had to do was shoot him!

David: So what took you so long motherfucker?

Tdom: Well Dave, I was busy you know. A little bit of this, little bit of that it was hard to talk that bitch in to killing herself, what was her name... Amy! That bitch was annoying as fuck.

Penny: Fuck you!

Tdom: Bitch, I would calm the fuck down; I'm already pissed at you.

David: Tdom, I get it you outsmarted us.

Tdom: You think that's why I'm doing this?

Sheldon: Then please tell me why! Why are you doing this? Why did you kill Kelsey and Amy?

Tdom: Because, I love you. I'm just fucking with you;you should've saw your face. I'm doing it because I can.

He pulls the trigger, shooting Sheldon in the chest. Sheldon falls backwards into Penny. She quickly sits, letting him lay on her lap.

Penny:( crying) I'm sorry! 'm sorry!

She looks up to see Tdom gone. She looks back down to Sheldon who is staring at her. He keeps repeating the same thing over and over again.

Sheldon: I love you.

2 weeks later

Sheldon eyes opens up.

Sheldon: Where am I?

He looks up to see he's in an empty hospital room.

Sheldon: I think we were shot.

There is no response

He looks over laying; next to him on the side table is a letter. He grabs and opens it up.

"Sweet Sheldon,

I'm so sorry that I couldn't stay, or see you get better. I had to leave, I love you, but I have to find Leonard. I wish I could explain more, but I can't. I know you're going to hate me, but it's for your own good"

Sheldon: Why?

Still nothing.

Sheldon: David answer me!

Just silence. Sheldon begins to covers his face with his hands. Noticing something on his wrist, he tries to take it off when something starts beeping.

Sheldon: What is this?

He looks up as he hears the door opening. He sees a man an older gentleman standing there looking at him, fear comes across his face.

Sheldon: No,no!

Old man: Hello Sheldon, it's been a long time. I've heard you've made quite a name for yourself.

Sheldon: I'm fine! I don't have to go back.

Old man: No Sheldon you're sick, and I'm going to finish the job I started a long time ago. I'm gonna make you better, that sweet blonde girl told me all about the other you.

Sheldon: No!

Old man: Yes,you're going home.

We see Penny sitting at a diner by herself. As she is stirring her coffee Tdom sits down across from her.

Tdom: Wow, I guess you are okay actress.

Penny: I know, I am a fantastic actress.

Tdom: Well, I didn't say fantastic; let's not jump the gun. Did you leave the letter?

Penny: Yes, I did it was super cheesy too.

Tdom: Did you inject the IV with the stuff I gave you?

Penny: Yes sir, why didn't you let me shoot him in the head.

Tdom: My sweet blonde goddess, where he's going death would be a relief.

To be continued.
