Sorry I'm taking so long with the update. Didn't really feel like writing, actually. Have you heard about that new episode of That's So Raven where Raven and Eddie are each other's perfect matches or whatever? I've always imagined them together. Anyway, here's the chapter.
Unexpected
Chapter 15
Cindy's POV
I wasn't about to look into his eyes and completely fall apart again. No, I'm much stronger than that. Still, I found it hard to find my voice and tell him that we needed to talk. I opened my mouth and breathed in, about to say something, but nothing came out. I took another deep breath and decided to try again.
I looked up from the not-so-interesting spot on the floor and gathered up my courage. I stepped forward and took Jimmy's wrist, saying, "We need to talk." and pulling him to an empty spot in the airport. I sat him down and sighed.
"Cindy..." He started off, and stopped, as if not knowing what to say. I sat down next to him, still not looking him in the eye. Heck, I wasn't even looking at him at all.
"Cindy...I'm really sorry. But you gotta know that Betty kissed me. You know I would never do that to you." He said.
I wanted to believe him. I wanted to give this up and just hug him again. I wanted to, but I couldn't. It's hard to explain. I sighed. But then again, maybe it wasn't. I was acting like a complete and total baby about this whole thing. It's been seven years, Cindy! You can't possibly still be mad about something that was so long ago...and he did say it wasn't his fault...
"Please look at me Cindy." I could hear the desperation in his voice.
C'mon Cindy. Don't let this chance pass you up. He could move on and meet some other girl, get married, have kids...move on with his life. Without you. Do you really want that?
Instead of begging with me like I thought he would, he took my chin in his hand and made me look at him. I guess with being my boyfriend for almost five years and all the things we've been through, he knows exactly what to do. He really isn't the stupid genius anymore.
I tried so hard not to look into his eyes, but I did anyway.
And I almost broke down crying again.
His eyes are still the same brilliant blue, as they were seven years ago. They held the same emotion, if not more. Of all the things that had changed, his eyes still remained the same.
"Please believe me," He whispered. Tears threatened to fall from my eyes.
"It's not that easy, Jimmy," I whispered back.
He caressed my cheek gently. "We can work on it, Cindy. We don't have to rush this. I don't know how long it will take us, but I do know that I can't live another day without you. I wake up every morning just wondering where you are and if you have moved on or not. Tell me Cindy, have you moved on?" There was determination in his eyes. One single tear fell from my eyes.
I shook my head slowly. "No...I haven't moved on, Jimmy. I think about you every day, hoping that you don't have little Jimmy Jr.'s running around that aren't mine." We both laughed.
He leaned forwardand pressed a kiss on my forehead. "That will never happen, Cindy."
I smiled. I pulled back and said cautiously, "So...we're good?"
I glared at him, and pulled away. Seeing the look on his face, I laughed. "We're fine Jimmy. We'll work this out." I pulled him into a hug.
"Good."
I thought so too.
A/N: I loved that chapter. It's much deeper than the other ones, I have to say. The story is slowly coming to an end. Um...maybe six chapter left at the most. I am so sad and at the same time, excited and nervous. School is starting in seven days! I absolutely love this song and the artist. Here is the song:
When It All Falls Apart by The Veronicas
I'm having the day from hell
It was all going so well (before you came)
And you told me you needed space
With a kiss on the side of my face (not again)
And not to mention (the tears I shed)
But I should have kicked your (ass instead)
I need intervention
Attention to stop temptation to scream
(Chorus)
Cause baby
Everything is fed up straight from the heart
Tell me what do you do, when it all falls apart
Gotta pick myself up, where do I start
Cuz I can't turn to you when it all falls apart
No
Don't know where I parked my car
Don't know who my real friendsare (anymore)
I put my faith in you
What a stupid thing to do (when it rains it pours)
And not to mention (I drank too much
I'm feeling hung over (and out of touch)
I need intervention
Attention to stop temptation to scream
(Chorus)
Can it be easier?
Can I just change my life
Cause it just seems to go bad everytime
Will I be mending?
Another one ending once again
(Chorus x3)
Falls Apart
Gotta pick myself out cause things are mended
