You're Different || Jimmy Darling

Chapter 12 It's Too Late

Hey guys! At the end of the chapter u might catch why I picked the song above but I just really liked the tone of the song and I thought it really fit the last part of the chapter in my opinion. (Lol sry for the weird vid it was the only one Wattpad would accept but yall get the idea) Enjoy loves! ;)

A blonde girl ran into the street, her clothes was dirty and she looked bruised and bloody. Jimmy quickly stepped on the breaks at my scream and he was just inches away from where she stood in the middle of the street. Thank god we stopped just in time so we didn't hit her. The car came to an abrupt halt and my head almost hit the dashboard from the stop. Jimmy was breathing heavy as he tightly gripped the wheel. The girl ran to the car and franticly banged on the window for us to open it. Jimmy rolled down the window as he wiped the sweat off of his forehead.

"Oh mister please, help me! We have to hurry he's after me! Please he's gonna kill us!" She said franticly out of breath.

"Yes, yes get in." He said unlocking the doors and she quickly got in and closed the door.

"Go! Go before he gets to all of us!" She yelled.

"Oh my what happened to you? Are you ok, we need to get you help. Go Jimmy!" I said nudging him to get a move on it.

"Don't worry it's going to be ok sweetie...I promise, just hang in there ok?" I said turning back toward her and reaching out to her. She was shy but ended up grabbing my hand as her eyes filled with fears stared at me. Her eyes screamed "help me".

Jimmy proceeded to speed off down the street but we soon came to a stop after just a couple feet of driving.

"Shit! We are out of gas!" He said banging his hands against the wheel.

We had at least a good solid 1/2 a mile till we got to the main road. We were so close to the town its like we could taste it. My eyes widened as I took a glanced out the back window. The girl whipped her head toward the back window and so did Jimmy when he saw my frozen face as I looked out the window.

"Oh god no! That's him we have to run! Please just help me, if he gets to us he will kill us all!" She screamed as tears ran down her face.

It was the...clown, the one who haunted my dreams, the one killing people. I was scared to death, my hands trembled at the sight of him. He had a dirty clown suit on that looked like it had blood on it and he had a mask that covered his mouth with a creepy smile on it. His clown make-up was pale and grey all smeared and ruined but it still looked creepy. He held a juggling pin in his hand and he tilted his head at us.

"Jimmy! What the hell are we going to do!?" I yelled out of frustration and in fear for our lives.

"Um...I don't know! Ok, ok on the count of three we are all going to get out and run straight for the woods as fast as we can, no room for mistakes ok?" Jimmy said gripping the latch to unlock the door.

The girl and I nodded as we too also grabbed our door latches.

"One...two...three...go!" He yelled as we all opened the latches and ran not looking back. The girl caught up to me and held my hand as we ran. Jimmy lead the way trying to run in the somewhat direction of town so we could get help. The trees and leaves flew past us as we ran for our lives away from the clown. I looked back for a split second and he was on our tails with his pin up in the air ready to hit us over the heads with it. I tried keeping up with Jimmy as I dragged the girl along. A log was in our way and I jumped over it but the girl must have tripped and hurt her ankle. She fell leaving my grip and collapsing behind me. I turned to help her as the clown came closer to us.

"Melanie! Nooooo!" Jimmy yelled as he started running back toward me.

It was too late the clown had gotten her and he picked her up slinging her over his shoulder, like a sack of potatoes like she wasn't even a person. She screamed for help and her eyes were filled with fear and they were broken just like mine had been. The clown stared at me and he turned back leaving toward the way we ran from. I stood there shocked and I felt terrible for not being able to help her. Jimmy noticed I was frozen stopped in front of the log I had jumped over and he came over to me. He pulled me into a hug and squeezed me tight. I shed a tear or two just because not only were we fearing for our lives, I just let that girl down, I could have helped her. She could be dying just because I didn't move a second faster to help her.

"I-I-I promised her...that everything was..." I whispered into Jimmy's shoulder as tears ran down my cheeks.

"It's ok darling. We will find a way to help her. We will go and get her back, tonight."

I pulled away confused. "What? Jimmy are you crazy!? We can't go walking into his camp or where ever he is taking his victims! He could kill us!"

"Well the least we can do is try, we can tell the others if we don't come back after like 10 minutes to call the police or something." He suggested.

"That's the problem! What if we don't come back at all, what if you don't come back and I do? I just don't want to lose you...lose us..." I said as I looked at him with a tear running down my cheek.

"Don't worry darling, I'll make sure we will make it back alive...I promise" He said cupping my face and pushing his lips against mine while tears still ran down my face.

He wiped away some of my tears and said, "Now don't cry I hate seeing you cry."

I nodded and he held my hand as we made our way back to the car. It was surprisingly untouched and still looked fine. We both got a good grip on the car and pushed it with all our strength. It was one hell of a workout but we made it to the main road. We kept pushing it to the gas station that was next to Flo's. I broke one hell of a sweat, my arms were gonna be like jelly tomorrow from such a workout. Jimmy was also getting a good workout because he kept constantly wiping the dripping sweat from his forehead and his tank top was soaked. Once we got the car to a pump Jimmy filled it up.

"Stay here I'm gonna go and talk to Flo." I said making my way toward the diner.

"Ugh her. Ok be back fast." He said as he went to talk to one of the guys at the gas station.

I walked into the diner and Jenny was working the counter today and gasped when she saw me.

"Melanie I thought you would never get here. Flo's been crazy, we are short staffed today and she's been looking like a mad woman all day." She said as she served coffee to the old man regular from the other day.

"Yeah...talking about Flo were is she I have to talk to her."

"She's in the back taking a break from all the madness, probably smokin." She said pointing toward the back room. I walked through the kitchen and toward the back where Flo was. The room was filled with the strong smell of smoke. I coughed as I inhaled it. She puffed her cigarette and held it sassy like as she opened her mouth to talk.

"Finally, look who decides to show up! Now where the hell have you been?" She asked as she waited for my answer.

"I was having car troubles and we had to push the car here just so I could get to work. Ive had a really shit day so far but I'm willing to work if you need my help."

"You know what it's too late Mel. Now we don't need your help its already 12:00 and I called in some of the others to come in and help. I appreciate you trying to help but you have two strikes left when you get to your third your out of here. Now go along kiddo go home but I expect you here tomorrow at 9:00 sharp." She said taking another puff of her cigarette and inhaling it in.

"Thank you Flo, thank you."

"Yeah yeah, go along kid." She said motioning for me to leave and get out of there.

I ran through the diner and Jenny waved at me as I left. Jimmy was already parked in front of the diner waiting for me. I jumped in and kissed him on the cheek as we drove. He drove past the dirt road and the freak show, he just kept on cruising.

"Jimmy, didn't we just pass where we had to turn?"

"Oh I forgot we are taking the long way home." (Lol insert 5sos song "long way home" :P)

"Long way home my ass, seriously were are we going?"

"Just wanna take a drive with you. Just us and this car, going to where ever it can take us. I wanna enjoy every second with you..."

I smiled and grabbed his free hand from the wheel since he was driving with one hand. I looked at him and said, "And I love spending every second right next to you. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else but right here right now with you, us...theres no place I'd rather be..." I said as it echoed off of my lips.

He gave me a smile as he looked back toward the road and revved up the car even faster, we drove off letting the car take us away.
