If We Ever Meet Again [Ft. Synyster Gates]

Sixteen

(Not that proud of this chapter... more of a filler D: )

“Hi” I breathed as Jimmy took a seat next to me, looking in front of him. We sat there just gazing out over the lake and the trees that were reflected on the surface of it. It was silent but it wasn’t awkward just comfortable but I just wondered how he found me and what he was doing here.

I don’t know how long we had just been sitting there but by now my head was leaning against his left arm, stealing some of his body heat. The sweater he put around me shoulders helped to some extent but it was nice just like this. I sighed.

“Jimmy?” I murmured still keeping my gaze on the lake.

He twitched. “Huh?”

I snorted a laugh at his dazed yet confused look. He was really out of it.

“Jimmy… How did you know I was here?”

He smiled softly. “You always came here when you were upset or needed to think Ash… It really wasn’t that hard to figure that out.”

I nodded. “Well… how did you know that I would be here?”

He took my hand in his and played around with it. “Chris called me, he was worried… He told me you had a huge fight and he said something he probably shouldn’t have said… He just wanted me to check up on you munchkin.”

I frowned as soon as he brought up that Chris had said something’s he shouldn’t have said, because it really hurt when he told me that I still loved Brian even though he knew how long it took me to get over it. Jimmy was also talking with me seriously, which was rare for him. He always would be hyper active and just all over the place but he knew when it was something serious that he had to cut the crap.

“What happened?”

“Uh, just… We had a couple of weird days lately and just when I saw Brian with a black eye I just blew up. Chris gave me so much shit and then acted like nothing.. Then I just… urgh! I can’t even think straight. I don’t even know what’s right or wrong!” I whined and closed my eyes in frustration.

Jimmy chuckled lightly. “Calm down okay? I don’t know what’s been going on lately but Brian’s been acting like a major douche to all the guys ever since you arrived in town girly.”

I raised an eyebrow as I looked at him. I was confused, why would he act like a douche to everyone and confuse the hell out of me?

He shrugged. “What can I say? Brian’s always been a little weird.”

I couldn’t help but to laugh and snort as a pig at the same time at Jimmy’s words. He always knew how to lighten up a situation. Any situation and right now that was just what I needed. Some of Jimmy’s ability to act oblivious and seriousness about crazy things that it would turn out, really funny.

“There ya go!” he cheered as he clapped his hand with that signature Jimmy smile on his lips.

“Thanks Jimbo… but seriously what am I going to do?”

He frowned. “aw, but we were doing soo good! You are so boring.” He whined.

“Please Jimbo.” I pleaded with him. I needed help and I needed some answers, sure I wouldn’t get them all from Jimmy but he could help me figure some things out.

He sighed. “Fine, go ahead…” I smiled.

“I… uh. Just don’t beat him up okay? Chris already took care of it.”

He sent me a confused look. “Uh… okay?”

I inhaled deeply. “Brian kissed me the night we went to Velvet Lounge…-”

“He what?!” Jimmy interrupted but I kept going.

“…and at Matt’s barbeque he cornered me in the bathroom and… did it again…”

“The hell is wrong with that guy? Seriously. First he tells you to leave us alone and we don’t see you in like fucking forever then he pulls that shit. Seriously, he’s not gonna be able to play the fuckign guitar when I’m done with him!” I gulped at Jimmy’s words. I had never seen him so pissed off and well… protective I guess I could say. His hands were clenched into fists and his jaw as well, the look in his eyes were distant and hard. Jimmy was breathing heavily and he kept cursing words such as ‘fucking idiot’ and ‘I’m gonna kill’ him under his breath.

One thing he muttered caught my attention immediately. I don’t think he intended to make he hear what he said but the least to say I was shocked.

“…he said he’s not fucking in love with her three years ago and now he just fucking does this. He’s dead that pig… fucking…” and the rant went on. Jimmy gritted his teeth for each word that came out of his mouth and I decided to stop him right there even if I wanted some answers to what he meant.

“Jimmy, calm down.” I placed my hand on his arm and rubbed it gently hoping to get some reaction from him.

I sighed over exaggeratedly. “Fine then you won’t get any candy…”

He shook his head. “What?” I couldn’t help but to giggle, I knew that he had somewhat of a candy obsession and well it always used to work in the past.

I leaned to the side and reached for my bag, I opened it and pulled out a bag of tootsie rolls. I opened the bag and offered it to Jimmy who right away ripped it out of my hands and moaned as soon as he got one into his mouth.

“This is soo good.”

I grabbed one of the tootsie rolls and ate one myself. “Mhm..”

“You know Brian’s an idiot right?”

I snorted. “Not that hard to figure out.”

“I mean he’s been playing you and Michelle for a while now. Sure Michelle’s a bitch but still…”

I furrowed my eyebrows together. “What?”

“You’ll see.”

“Uh okay…?”

He shrugged. “Not really but what are you going to do about Chris? He sounded really miserable over the phone.”

 

“Gonna give him a taste of his own medicine, then I guess we’ll have to have a serious talk. Things have been amazing with him but ever since we started hanging out with you guys things have been going downhill… No offence…” I explained to him as I tossed another tootsie roll into my mouth.

“None taken… Just take it easy with the guy okay? He really loves you and he knows that you have liked Brian before, I think he’s feeling a bit scared that you’ll leave him for Brian…”

“Thanks Dr.Phil but Chris should know that I wouldn’t do that. I love him from the bottom of my heart and I’ve told him that several times. Nothing and no one can change my mind about that.”

Jimmy laughed. “Yeah, I should totally get my own tv-show, shouldn’t I?”

I rolled my eyes at him. He was the master at changing subjects and he always did it with style.
