Not a Freak to Me

Chapter V

After a while Y/N thought she should go to the store to get a few things and necessities for her caravan. She walked all over the camp grounds looking for Jimmy until she saw him leaving a small tent. She ran up to him and grabbed onto his arm to get his attention.

"Hey, I've been looking for you. I was wondering if you could take me into town to get a few things." He kept walking but Y/N continued following him.

"Can't. We're settin' up Maggie's tent right now. Maybe later." He said with a low tone.

"Maggie? Who-

"Esmerelda, I guess her first name is Maggie." He explained.

"What do you mean tent? She gets a- a tent?"

"Yeah, she's gotta have somewhere to do her readings." He said like that was obvious.

"Oh, um, ok. Well what time do you think you'll be done?" She tried to keep up her happy act.

"Uh, I don't know." He said monotone.

He kept walking fast so Y/N stepped in front of him, putting her hand on the side of his arm and looked up at him. "What are you doing? Why are you acting like this?"

"What are you talkin' about Y/N?" He looked at her blankly.

"That. Why are you blowing me off? Why are you talking to me like this?" Y/N said frustrated but worried.

"I'm just tired, I've been settin' up her tent for a while. Maybe I can drive you tomorrow." He kissed her forehead and walked past her. She stood frozen and confused. He definitely liked Maggie.

Y/N had spent the rest of the day in her caravan flipping through magazines. She eventually fell asleep and remained so for a few hours. Until there was a knock at her door. She woke up and rubbed her eyes, not knowing she fell asleep. She lifted the magazine off of her and walked to the door. She opened it to see Paul.

"Hey, Paul, what's up?" She said still drowsy.

"Elsa told me to come get you for dinner. And uh, can I come in for a minute?" Paul said hesitantly.

"Yeah, yeah sure." She opened the door wider for him to enter.

He sat down at her table, "how are you?"

"Good, I guess. You?" She stood awkwardly.

"You sure?" He looked at her with sympathy.

"Yeah..." Y/N said confused.

"Just checkin'. I know that fraud has taken a liking to Jimmy." Paul admitted.

"Fraud? You think she's a fraud?"

"We all do, hun." Paul rolled his eyes.

"Do y'all think I'm a fraud?" She sat across from him, folding her hands together.

"No, Elsa told us about last night and Dell is pretty freaked out which never happens so I know it's true." Paul laughed.

"Ha, yeah. But no, really, I'm okay. Let's go get dinner." She stood up and walked to the door.

Paul joined her and they left the trailer.

They walked into the main tent and saw everyone laughing and eating. Y/N's eyes went straight to Jimmy who was sitting with Maggie laughing about God knows what.

She slowly approached the table and it got quieter. She sat down between Paul and Eve and avoided all eye contact. Their meal went on like normal and Y/N didn't say a word. When they finished she went straight back to her caravan. On her way she saw Jimmy and Maggie walking out towards the ferris wheel. She continued going to her trailer and got in and slammed the door. She flopped onto her bed and anger filled her body. She decided to turn over and try to sleep.

About an hour and a half went by and she had been asleep. Suddenly her door swung open without warning and she jumped up.

Jimmy had stumbled in mumbling something to himself.

Y/N shot up out of bed and over to him, steadying him. "Jimmy what are you doing?"

He just hugged her and started softly crying.

She held him and patted his back, "what happened? Jimmy what's the matter?" She said worried.

"I'm so stupid." He said angry at himself. He pulled away and raised a bottle up to his lips that Y/N didn't notice before.

She grabbed the bottle and set it on her counter, "you're not stupid Jimmy, what happened? Tell me."

"I don't know why I thought she'd like me." He admitted.

Y/N's heart dropped immediately and her face changed to a cold expression. "Jimmy you're drunk, go to bed. Your bed."

"I should've known a girl like her wouldn't like a freak like me." He continued.

"You know what, you are stupid Jimmy." She spat.

Jimmy's head shot straight up looking at her confused and hurt.

She grabbed his shirt in both of her hands, pulling him towards her face. "You have a girl who already likes you for WHO YOU ARE and doesn't see you as a freak at all. So, yeah, you are stupid, too stupid to see that I am right here." She fumed and pushed him back as she let go of his shirt. She walked over to her bed and sat down.

Jimmy just stood in shock, "Y/N  I-

"Can you just leave? I'm tired, I'd like to go back to bed. And take your boos with you." She sat not looking at him.

He sighed and snatched the bottle, leaving her caravan.

She lied back on her bed and began to cry.
