Jimmy Gonads: Man Behind The Mask

Part 5

I pick up a scroll and sit down on josh's bed that is made of clay.  I unravel the scroll and see that it is addressed to me

My dearest Sadie,

    Oh how I love thee, yet thou have love for my brother, and before that my other brother. Oh how wish I could release these feelings inside, but no one can know my secret. This secret I must keep hidden from everyone

  Love yours truly,

        Jimmy

"What the fuck" I whisper. He loves me? What secret? Jimmy? What is happening? I stand up to leave, forgetting how low the ceiling is I smack my head knocking myself out.

The next thing I know I'm waking alone up in Jake's bed. "How did I get here?" I ask myself rubbing my head "What happened?" Jake walks in with a bowl of soup "Hey you're awake, here have some soup" I slurp the soup spitting it out immediately "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS???" I yell. "It's a family recipe, its fish and corn blended together!" "YUM I love it!" I take another slurp. "What happened I don't remember anything, one minute I'm in josh's room and- JOSH! I went to josh's room to talk to him and i found one of his scrolls and it said he loved me and it was signed Jimmy. Jake who's Jimmy?"  Jake looks around nervously "Its said Jimmy? That idiot!" He threw my soup at the wall, fish paste splattering everywhere. "Jake whats wrong?" I ask afraid 'You were never supposed to find out about jimmy" he sighed pacing around the room. Who is this jimmy and why was i never supposed to find out about him? And why was his scroll is josh's room? Why did he love me? "I have so many questions." I say to Jake "But they can wait. I need to talk to josh."

I run out of the room Jake is calling for me but i don't care i need to see josh. I run to his door kicking it in and crawling through. "JOSH! JOSH WHERE ARE YOU?!" I yell. I see him curled into a ball under his leaf blanket. Hes crying. "Josh whats wrong?" i ask rubbing his arm. "You found out! You know my secret!" He sobbed even harder "Your secret? What do you mean? That scroll was signed jimmy." he wipes his tears away with a hankie and says "Sadie. I'M Jimmy." I gasp loudly "what do you mean your'e Jimmy? You're Josh!" i move away from him shocked by this new information. "Sadie, Jake isn't really my brother, neither is Sam.  When I was born I was left in the woods and was raised by a clan of chinchillas until the age of 13. Then the Kiszkas found me and took me in, somehow i look a lot like Jake so they told everyone that we were twins, but really Ronnie and Jake are twins. They changed my name to Josh kiszka so I would fit in but my real name is- my real name is Jimmy Gonads." he looks at me waiting for me to say something, but i don't know what to say. I just stare at him thinking of a response, but before I can say anything he starts again. "I want you to know the real me. I don't want to live behind this mask anymore." I finally think of what to say "Do you really love me? What you said in your scroll, is it true?" He looks down to his crusty feet "I was hoping you would forget that part." he sighs "Well?" I say starting to get frustrated "YES IT IS! IT'S TRUE!!!" I'm taken aback by his sudden burst of aggressiveness "Josh I-" "DON'T CALL ME THAT!!! MY NAME IS JIMMY! JIMMY GONADS!" He stands up his hair grazing the ceiling. "I'm sorry Jimmy" I say quietly "I should go." I begin to crawl out when he grabs my hand "no, please don't leave me." i turn around and whisper "Jo- Jimmy, I love you too" "wha- what? You what?" "I love you jimmy, I've always loved you, ever since you first ran into me and then when you spilled my drink on my shirt, you've always intrigued me." "If you loved me why did you date Sam and why are you dating Jake?" he grabs my face "I thought you didn't like me. Whenever you saw me you would run away." I say staring deeply into his eyes "I ran away because I was jealous!" Jimmy exclaims. Jimmy grabs my face planting a kiss on me. He breaks the kiss just to say "Sadie I love you" reconnecting as fast as possible. I kiss him as hard as I can his cracked lips on mine. This is all I've wanted for these past three days. Wow it really has been crazy going on a date with Sam, then Jake, now finding out about jimmy. Jake! I break away from the kiss "Jimmy I have to tell Jake, I can't do this to him" he sighs "you're right we should tell him" I crawl out of his room with him following close behind. I reach Jake's door and I'm about to knock when Jimmy kicks down the door screaming "FBI DOWN ON THE GROUND" Jake jumps off the bed running and jumping out of the window. "YOU'LL NEVER CATCH ME ASSHOLE" He is now down on the ground laying there hurt from jumping out the window. We run down stairs and go to where Jake is laying, he looks over to us "Did they leave? The FBI? Did they leave?" not wanting to deal with how fucking dumb he is I decide to just tell him yes they did leave and that he is safe here.  "Jake i have to tell you something. I know about jimmy... and we are in love" he sits up looking between us "I know, I can tell. I just really love you Sadie but if you really love Jimmy I guess I will have to live with that and let you be." Jimmy steps forward helping Jake up "Wow Jake that is really mature of you." Jake looks at jimmy for a second before smacking him across the face. "Thank you Jake" Jimmy bows to Jake "my pleasure jimmy."  i stand there in confusion "what the fuck" i look between the two who are now hugging. Jimmy then begins to inform me on the sacred tradition of chinchillas that when someone gives you their blessing they smack you and how Jake wanted to keep his traditions alive.  How nice of him. I turn to jimmy and smack him "I love you Jimmy" "I love you too Sadie"
