The Freak| Jimmy Darling

Chapter Fourteen.

I walked out of the tent with the phone and walked towards the main tent. I could hear Elsa yelling.

"I WILL HAVE NO MORE OF THIS!" She yelled. "We give them a home and a family and this is how the repay us! Leaving us!" She exclaimed.

I didn't want to walk in. She seemed pissed, and I don't like getting in her way when she's angry. It's like walking on a train track while there's a train coming.

"Now have fun or I'll stick you up on the wheel. And thank you for the presents," she said, her mood completely changing. The wheel? I looked to the right corner to see a giant spinning wheel. Damn. I saw Jimmy get up and walk towards me, so I made room for him to come out.

"Well?" I asked, walking him over by a table so we could sit.

"She yelled at us for questioning her story that the twins left her. She said that they were ungrateful and wanted to get out of the show the second they could. She had bought them a dress and while she was paying, she said that they slipped out the door while she wasn't looking," Jimmy explained.

"Damn. You buy it?" I asked.

"Sounds about right," he responded.

"Really? I don't think so," I said.

"Are you joking?" He asked.

"I mean think about it: they nail their performance, get the crowd to love them, and get a standing ovation. Then Elsa walks onstage and gets popcorn thrown at her, booed, and laughed at. It all makes sense," I said.

"You should really take her side on this one," he responded.

"Jimmy, I ain't tryna start a fight, but you're not really looking at this logically," I said.

"Mells. She saved all of us. We should have some respect," Jimmy said.

"I don't wanna talk about this no more. I don't like arguing with you," I said.

"Me either," he responded. We both paused, not really knowing what to say.

"Anyway, did you get Elsa something for her birthday?" Jimmy asked.

"I did. Did she already open gifts?" I asked.

"She did while you were on the phone," he responded.

"Goddammit. I'll have to give it to her later," I said.

"Good luck with that. She seems to be in a bad mood today," he said.

"Great. Fucking great," I said with a sigh.

Jimmy laughed and opened up a newspaper. A couple of minutes later, Paul came up to us.

"Hello lovely," he said to me.

"Hello, Paul," I said with a smile.

"I was just wondering if you needed anything at the store?" he asked.

"I don't, but can I come with you? I need to take a walk," I said.

"Of course you can. Would you like to come too, Jimmy?" Paul asked.

"No that's alright. I gotta go help Suzi rearrange the stuff in her caravan. See you guys around," Jimmy said and walked away.

"I guess it's just the two of us," Paul said.

I laughed. "Yeah I guess so," I said. We started walking. "So. How are things going with Penny?" I asked.

"Great. I believe that we are going to have a great relationship," he responded.
