Part 6: The Song and The Letter
Sophie lets go of the past
Camilla made it to the top of the stairs to find Sophie sobbing and muttering something inaudible.
"Honey! honey! It's ok what's wrong?"
"He's a fucking jerk, why did he do this? huh? Is he being a melodramatic bastard?!"
"Oh...so you heard"
"Yeah, you told Travis, and Travis told David"
"Shit! Okay, okay, look e'll come back...he left his heart here" as she reached and tapped Sophie's chest.
"Yeah right" as she wiped her face with her sleeves.
"Are you kidding me?! the guy has eyes only for you!"
"Oh? well...fuck him he never tried anything"
"Because you never gave him a chance & the one night he fucks up is the same damned night that you decide to fall ass over tea kettle for Mr. Douche bag over there"
"No fuck him! If he expects me to be here waiting with open fucking arms he can go to hell"
"Sophie! I know this hurts but think before you act..."
"No I've made up my mind"
"I can't stop you, but here come into his room he left you something."
Inside a note that had a few drawings & song lyrics were little trinkets of affection, a few ticket stubs from concerts and movies with the date and quote at the bottom.
"I leave you these little snap shots of our time together not because I don't want them but because these things bring me pure joy and happiness and I hope they bring you the same to you. I'm sure you will always think that I never meant the 'I love you' but those were the greatest moments of happiness and bliss that I have ever had
Take care and arrevior mon ami
Jimmy D Terrible"
They both stood silent, Sophie just rubbed the movie stubs as if by rubbing she'll somehow rub the memories away. Camilla sat on his race car bed fumbling with the stereo until se accidentally hi the cd player, right away Bloc Party started to play which brought them both a smile, He had left it halfway through "like eating glass". Sophie put everything back into the envelope and placed it on top of Jimmy's "Room on Fire" Limited LP, she shot a glance at Camilla with the last tear she would ever shed for Jimmy and said "burn it"
Camilla just stared and nodded as Sophie walked through the hallway full of quiet memories and empty thoughts as she raced for the front door, she heard Jimmy's door close and the stereo blast, "helicopter" had ended and "positive tension" had just reached the sweet and melodical asymmetrical solo. It all ended that moment like it had started wit passionate magic and not enough words.
