Finally Back

June 6th, 2012
Today was great. Jimmy came back, and he's pretty much okay. Cyrus told me he actually helped us, and I do believe him. Maybe I should trust him? I'm not quite sure yet. -Edwin

I could hear the other teens gossip, and some of them spread rumors. I even heard one about myself, but I knew that it was false. My friends were also talking together, but I was just staring at nothing. Suddenly, I heard the cafeteria door creak, and a well known guy walked slowly inside. His hair was messy and his clothes were dirty, his tank top even had a few holes in it. The guy himself didn't look too good; his arms and face were full of dark bruises, wounds, scars... Even dried blood. He looked tired, but when I got up, ran to him and hugged him, he got a smile on his face and hugged me back. ''We've missed you!'' I said and pulled away. The guy smiled and walked to our table, only to get more hugs from Billy and Lewis. Juliet was back to normal; She didn't smile, it was more like she didn't even know him. Before sitting down, he walked to Juliet and hugged her, placing a kiss on her cheek. I saw a small smile form, which meant Juliet really did care. ''I've missed you, Jimmy,'' she said. ''I've missed you too,'' he replied.

The others had walked with Jimmy to his room. As I was walking down the hall, someone grabbed my wrist. Why are people here so interested in talking to me? I turned around and looked right into Cyrus' brown, snake-like eyes. ''Shit,'' I said, shocked. His eyes creeped me out. ''Sorry I scared you,'' Cyrus chuckled. ''Do you trust me now? I got Jimmy back,'' he then said, his face went from joking to serious. ''You did that? But how?'' I asked, even though I was almost sure I understood what he had done. ''You saw me, Juliet shrieked. Billy explained what I was. You can tell him he was right,'' Cyrus smiled. This confirmed my thoughts. Cyrus was the snake we saw earlier; that explains his creepy, brown snake eyes.

''What did he do to you?'' Lewis asked, his eyes glowing in eager. ''A lot. He cut me, starved me, things like that,'' Jimmy replied. ''Sounds horrible,'' Lewis said, and I couldn't help but giggle. Not because of what happened, but because of Lewis' reaction. Juliet was sitting in the corner of their bed, writing, as usual. ''Aren't you happy at all?'' I asked with a sigh. Juliet stopped writing and looked up at me with a serious face. ''I do,'' she simply replied. Then she started writing again. We had gotten Jimmy's coat back not so long ago, so he picked it up from the bed and smiled widely before he put it on. He quickly understood we had cleaned it, and said ''thank you.''

''Then, what's the worst that happened?'' Lewis asked. Jimmy took off his tanktop and revealed a big scar going from his chest and to his belly button. ''Zephyr decided to cut me open,'' he said. Everything he said seemed like a joke now; he laughed about his own pain, happy that it was over. ''Shit, that looks infected,'' Lewis said, grossed out. He was right, the scar was swollen and dark red, and it seemed as it could pop open any second. ''It's not, Tyrian promised me,'' Jimmy assured us and dragged down his tanktop. ''He used some kind of rusty scalpel, and it hurt as fuck, but I'm alive,'' Jimmy chuckled. I couldn't help but admire Jimmy. I mean, how can he be this calm? I would've freaked out, but then again, Jimmy seems to be a lot tougher than me. Most people are.
