Hi guys! I'm back with my not-so-good one-shots! This is just a plotless scene I imagined, just bear with it please, thanks for the support! :) Italicized words are from Marie Osmond's song Until I Fall In Love Again. :) GOD I LOVE THAT SONG...
Disclaimer: I still don't own Jimmy Neutron...sigh...
It was past 2 in the morning, they were sitting beside each other in his small crossover. Jimmy thought the view was simple...but special, just like the girl who was positioned comfortably or perhaps not, beside him. Another minute has passed since the two kept quiet and Jimmy was getting tired of the deafening silence, the piercing peacefulness residing between the two of them. After a long moment of intense thinking, Jimmy finally decided to speak.
Look at me like a crazy fool,
Coming here, calling on you like this
Just like we never said goodbye
"Why did you call me?" He turned to the girl beside him. The last time he saw her, she wore a lighter shade of blonde, her eyes were more lively, and she knew she was a girl of her own strength. Now, after about a decade or so, she looked lost and confused in a doctor's coat, exhausted but calm, quiet, but there were a lot of emotions in her eyes, emotions, feelings his 210 of an IQ can never explain.
The girl shrugged, not knowing what to say, why did she call him? She wondered herself...Was it because she still loved him? Impossible, they ended everything they had a long, long time ago.
I know it's late but your memory
Keeps comin' round
And just won't let me sleep
"I've been having trouble sleeping these past few days..." Cindy finally spoke.
"D-Do you need help?" Jimmy uttered, "Ugh! What's wrong with me, why did I say that? Of all the things that I could possibly say to her..." He thought regretfully.
"Would you?" Cindy gathered all of her remaining strength as she spoke mindlessly, but so full of emotion, full of unspoken desire.
"Anything" Jimmy felt Cindy's eyes on him, carefully scrutinizing him, as if afraid to be hurt once again, afraid to be betrayed once more..."Anything you ask," He breathlessly muttered as he stared back and locked his eyes with hers.
There's just one thing
I'm asking of you
Just one thing that I need
Cindy bit her lip, should she say it? Does she have to say it? Above all, can she? It was difficult and nerve-wracking enough to call him, now that he was there beside her, she did not know what to do, what to say, she just wanted him, his presence with her own.
In a swift motion, Jimmy grabbed the girl and put her in his arms. Warm and cozy, for the first time again, Cindy felt alive, once again consumed by his charisma. She rested her chin on his shoulder blade.
"If there's anything that's bothering you, I'm here," He held Cindy tighter. Meanwhile, the blonde started to feel forming tears. But why? Subconsciously, she held him back tighter as she closed her eyes.
"I miss you," She whispered. Jimmy felt her warm breath against the side of his neck as he inhaled her vanilla jasmine aroma. Seems like nothing has changed, seems like.
Until I fall in love again,
Would you hold me in your arms
Cause the nights can be so long
"That can do, I don't know why, but I needed to hear those words," The man replied knowingly, Cindy pulled away as she caught Jimmy's ocean eyelocks. It became a bit bluer than before, blue as sadness. Cindy curled her eyebrows.
"I needed to see you," Jimmy smiled pensively. He looked away and stared at the view in front of him once again. He yawned as silently as he could.
Cause the nights can be so long
Spending them alone
Through all these lonely nights...
Cindy was waiting for something. Something. That something she was waiting for him to say, she wanted to believe in them again, even just for a moment. Jimmy yawned once again.
Would you hold me in your arms
Every now and then
Until I fall in love again
"You can sleep, if...if you want to, I'm fine, I can wait until morning, it's okay," Cindy assured him. He was supposed to-
"It's okay, I should drive you home,"
"Please, I don't want to get into another accident again,"
"Really..." Jimmy playfully smirked but he yawned again.
"Really!" Cindy replied, a bit too eager to spend the rest of the mornight with her memorable first love.
"Fine," Before Jimmy turned to sleep, he first reclined Cindy's seat, then proceeded to reclining his own. Before Cindy could utter a word, Jimmy was asleep. She stared at him for a long time, remembering, reminiscing the times they shared, the memories they have created, and the moments she endlessly tried to forget...but failed miserably. She could not fall asleep. What kind of conversation did they have? It had no sense at all, just a bunch of hi-hellos in a form of another. Why, where did they go wrong? Perhaps, it was when she told him how nonsensical their relationship was, or when he answered back to her and questioned her feelings for him, and she was fully taken aback. She looked around the crossover, there was a Gatorade bottle in the can holder, her pink sthetoscope beside it. When she opened the small drawer in front of her, there was a notepad and a black pen, she grabbed the notepad and started reading what was written in it.
"I can't forget her,"
"I don't want to forget her,"
"I should set her free,"
"I want to set her free,"
"I can't set her free,"
"I don't want to set her free,"
Cindy looked at Jimmy once again, he was sleeping peacefully, was it really time to let go? She started to think so.
She grabbed the pen and paper, she started scribbling and writing:
I'm not telling you to stay,
I'm not telling you to go away...
You think you know me well
But my words don't seem to ring a bell...
As you drifted away from me
I slowly started to see
That we are truly not meant to be
Reason why I'm setting you free...
Cindy quietly straightened herself up and went out of the crossover. There was no one in sight, she walked a few metres and entered her own car.
She went home alone, as Jimmy slowly woke up.
