Sorry it took so long, schoolwork, homework, and my computer choosing to crash everytime I try to finish a chapter. Disclaimer: I don't own. Yadda yadda yadda. Just enjoy and keep your minds filled with the plot as it thickens. MUAHAHA.
Side note: Next chapter will be VERY rated M. just warning you now. :)
Jimmy saw Cindy rush past, but with a bruise on her cheek. 'That's odd.' he thought, why would Cindy have a...That guy he saw must have had something to do with it! He had to talk to Libby. As much as he could barely stand the hip-hop queen, he had to know what was going on with his girl...wait. His GIRL?! No, he couldn't think of Cindy like that. She was his rival, his friend, a piece of heaven on earth. 'No! Bad genius brain' he exclaimed in his mind. He raced home to do some research, the genius skipping school for once in his life.
Racing straight into his room, rushing past his mom, he went straight to the computer. "JAMES ISAAC NEUTRON! WHY AREN'T YOU AT SCHOOL?" "Mom, not now, this is urgent!" "What is more important than your schoolwork? I hope not another cold fusion experiment..." "It's Cindy mom. I think she's being abused." His mom looked taken aback. "A-Abused? By whom? Cedric? He seemed like a fine young man at the funeral." "Funeral? Who's? Who is he? Where are her parents?" "Jimmy...her parents died years ago, while you were off at Genius Camp. Cedric is her new father. Oh, that reminds me, they are coming over for dinner tonight. Don't say anything to him Jimmy. I know you feel like he might be responsible, but please Jimmy just stay quiet." With that, she went to fix a turkey or something, Jimmy didn't care, he needed to do research.
As Jimmy looked up abuse and signs to see it, at Cindy's house, things were getting worse. Cedric was trashing Cindy's room, ruining her things, and breaking all of her pictures of her, Libby, and the guys. He broke his empty bottle of beer on her headboard and put glass in her bedsheets. "Teach...bitch to fuck with *BUUUUURP* me." He stumbled out of her newly trashed room to sleep off his drunkenness to get ready to go to that dinner thing.
Cindy came home at EXACTLY 4:00, and waited for the onslaught of abuse and names but...nothing. "C-C-Cedric?" it was against her better nature to call his name, but she needed to know what was going on. He came out with a sick smile on his face. "Listen bitch, we are going to one of your 'boyfriends' house for dinner. And you better behave yourself, or your punishment will be even more harsh on you than normal." With that said, he left Cindy to get dressed in something appropriate and get ready to leave. She chose a long sleeved black shirt with a long, flowing, dark blue, almost black shirt. She pounded on the concealer and cover-up to hide any and every bruise. As she was getting ready, she wondered what Jimmy was doing. Little did she know, he was looking for a way to help her.
