Thank you reviewers! Don't have much to say, so here is the chapter.
Unexpected
Chapter 10
Jimmy's POV
I mean seriously, what did I do? It's strange enough that Cindy just happened to be here, and then I asked her a simple question and she completely set off at me, and now Libby's lecturing me! I glanced at the doorway where a man had just walked in. I turned back to Libby and said, "What did I do?"
She rolled her eyes and shook her head at me. "It's pretty obvious that she's really upset at you, Jimmy. And you're seriously asking me what you did? First of all, you haven't seen her in seven years. Second of all, just hours after you gave her that promise ring on graduation day, she found you making out with Betty Quinlin. And you're acting like nothing every happened!"
She made sense. A lot of sense.
I sighed. "You're right. Should I go talk to her?"
She threw her arms up in the air and groaned, frustrated. "No! She just yelled at you at the top her lungs pratically, and she needs a girl to talk to. Like me."
And with that, she spun on her heel and walked into the bathroom. I heard the door swish open and close again, and a very tired looking red-head walked in. She looked around, confused. She said something to the male that had walked in earlier, now looking shocked. She looked slightly familiar...
Michelle? And was that...Sheen?
And just when I thought it couldn't get any stranger, it did.
I sat up straighter looking at the two. I then stood up and walked over to them slowly. "What is going on?"
Even if I was a genius, I couldn't figure out what was going on. Sheen shrugged.
"I don't know! I just walked in here and I saw you and Libby talking and then I sat down and Michelle walked in. Weird, huh?"
I shook my head, still trying to comprehend the situation. I then smiled. "I haven't seen you in seven years!" Sheen smiled too.
He stood up and we hugged. Yes, hugged. C'mon people, we haven't seen each other in seven freakin' years! It was manly hug.
"Hey! I'm still here ya know!" Michelle exclaimed. We all laughed and we included her in our little manly hug that now had a girl in it so it isn't so manly now. We broke apart when I heard the bathroom door being pushed opened. I quickly jumped apart from Sheen and Michelle, hoping that it was Cindy.
Nope. It was Libby. She sighed. "Well...I don't think she'll be coming out anytime soon. She's going on and on about how she missed you and she's sad and mad at herself for going off at you and how you probably hate her now and let's just say she's really, really emotional."
I closed my eyes. When I opened them again, I saw Libby gaping at Sheen and Michelle.
"What...what are you guys doing here?" She managed to get out.
"I have no idea! Well actually, I'm here to pick up my friend, Jason. So I guess I do have an idea...," Sheen said.
Michelle started to say something and then stopped. And then she cracked up laughing. "Can you believe this happened to us?" Sheen started laughing too. Then so did Libby. But I didn't, because I was still worried about Cindy.
I looked at Libby and said, "What about Cindy!"
She groaned. "I'll go get her."
"Hey...what about Carl?" Michelle asked, finally quieting down.
"Hey...why wasn't I invited to this little get together?" I heard another voice ask. I turned around and...what do ya know, there's Carl.
Then Michelle started laughing again.
Meanwhile
"Is it working?" The brunette said into the phone.
The other woman on the line popped her gum and continued filing her nails. "Yep. Going perfectly. Except for that blonde girl, she ain't too happy."
"Cindy? She's one of the most important people there! Just make sure things go according to plan, okay?" The woman exclaimed.
"Alright, alright. Don't get your undies in a bundle. Is the rest of the crew there?" The woman said, now fixing her make-up.
"Uh...yeah. I think so." The brunette counted the people in her house. "Seven altogether. Two girls, give boys. Yeah...they're all here. Make sure everything goes-"
"According to plan, I know. You already said that. Listen, I gotta go now." The black haired woman huffed.
"Okay, bye."
"Bye."
The woman hung up and popped her gum again, smirking at the young adults that had gathered in the airport.
A/N: Lots hints there! Let's see if you can guess who the seven people are, and the black haired girl, and the brunette and her husband. Ha ha.So please review, and I'll update again soon, I hope. Here's the song for this chapter. Don't know what made me want to pick this song, and it's country, and only one other song is country so far in this fic. Hope you like!
Life is a Highway, (remade) by Rascal Flatts
Life's like a road you travel on
When there's one day here and the next day gone
Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your back to the wind
There's a world outside every darkened door
Where blues won't haunt you anymore
Where the brave are free and the lovers soar
Come ride with me to the distant shore
We won't hesitate, to break down the garden gate
There's not much time left today
(Chorus)
Life is a highway, I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way, I wanna drive it all night long
Through all these cities and all these towns
It's in my blood and it's all around
I love you know like I loved you then
This is the road and these are the hands
From Mozambique to Memphis nights
The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights
Knock me down get up again
You're in my blood I'm not a lonely man
There's no load that I can't hold
Road so rough, this I know
I'll be there when the light comes on
Tell 'em we're survivors
(Chorus x2)
There was a distance between you and I (between you and I)
A misunderstanding once but now we look it in the eye
There's no load that I can't hold
Road so rough, this I know
I'll be there when the light comes on
Tell 'em we're survivors
(Chorus x3)
