All I could think about on the ride home was Jimmy's hands. He can't be dead. He can't be. He's in jail. The officer said he was alive. He's not dead. He's not.
Maggie, Desiree and I decided to tell everyone when the time was right. And when we got to the main tent, we discovered that that time wasn't now.
A man stood in the center of the tent with some sort of animal in his hands. I walked closer and examined it.
"Why hello there. The name is Chester Creb. These are my chameleons," he said to me.
I smiled. "I'm Melanie Oswald. It's a pleasure," I said. He was so handsome.
His eyes soon shifted from me to the twins. The twins seem much happier lately. I haven't seen them fight. They're always dressing really nicely and eyeing all of the men. They seem to be much different. They seem to be on the same page.
As Chester moved to talk to them, I walked over to Suzi.
"A chameleon salesman. He's very handsome," I said.
"Very. You should go and talk to him after he's done with the twins," she suggested.
I looked at the three of them talking. "Nah. The girls seem very happy. I don't wanna ruin that for them," I said.
"Honey you need to stop worrying about everyone else for a change," Eve chimed in.
"I've already got my heart set on someone else," I said.
Eve and Suzi gasped. I didn't just say that aloud, did I?
"Who?" Eve whispered.
I laughed for a second. And as I thought about him, my smile faded.
"It's Jimmy, isn't it?" Suzi asked.
I looked at her and nodded. "That's really bad, right?" I asked.
"No. If I had a relationship like that with someone, I'd love them too," Suzi said.
"Don't tell anyone though," I said.
They nodded. "We won't."
"Now I'm here to see Ms. Elsa for a job. Any idea where she might be?" Chester said, smiling widely.
"She'd be right in that tent," Bette said.
"Thank you girls. I'll see you later," he said and ran off.
I walked over to Bette and Dot and smiled. "You girls really seem to like him," I said.
The girls looked at each other and giggled.
"Well between you and us, we're trying to get him to be our first time," Bette giggled.
I widened my eyes. "Oh you can do it. He's totally interested in you two," I said.
"Really? You think so?" Dot asked.
"Of course. Just go for it," I said.
"We will. Now we've got to go pretty ourselves up," Dot said.
"Alright. Good luck," I said.
As I watched them run off, I started feeling lonely. I needed to kiss someone. I needed to feel someone. But I needed to get ready for the show tonight. I sighed with envy as I watched Penny and Paul kiss each other. Why am I feeling like this now?
To get my mind off of things, I walked to Pepper's tent. To my surprise, nearly all of her things were gone. Like they never existed. I walked out of tent and looked all around for her, but she was nowhere to be found. I stormed to Elsa's tent, but paused when I heard Chester talking. And then another voice. I didn't know who it was.
