Let's make you some hands
06:22, 22 May 2015~Jimmy's POV~
"Oh gosh, look at yourself Jimmy, you look just like your father " A thick Baltimore accent said as I stumbled into the barn after Eve and Paul dropped me off. They wanted to walk me in but I said not to since Alicia was probably sleeping.
"Ma." I whispered, she was dead, and I knew it. Yet here she was, before me again.
"Yea, I thought you were doing so well Jimmy, you were sober and in love, and happy."
"Where Alicia?" I asked, hearing the slur in my voice as I sat on the empty bed next to her.
"Jimmy, you ran her off." She whispered as I stared at the stumps at my wrist.
"What do I do Ma?" I asked looking at her
"You give her time and space, there to move on in life, away from the bottle and win her back." and then she was gone, and I was alone.
As I laid on my back and looked at the darkness above. I heard a light knock on the door and looked up to see Elsa and some man standing in my living space.
"What do you want?" I slurred as I stood up, feeling myself wobble as I did.
"You drunk idiot, do you know what you just did?" Elsa barked
"Yea, now if ya are going to lecture me then get the hell out!"
"No! Now sit down and listen to me." Elsa snapped again, causing me to sit on the bed once again.
"Before you went and acted like a fool Lissa and I had a conversation, a conversation about what to do with ya."
"Why would ya do..."
"Jimmy I can give ya your hands back." The man piped up over me, I looked at him in shock.
"How can ya..."
"He gave me my legs back." Elsa piped up, revealing her wooden leg as she lifted her pant leg up.
"What..."
Thats when she told me the story, how she had lost her legs while in German when a Nazi group decided to use her as the star in a film, which was a torture porn kind of thing. Then the doctor revealed how he had tried to kill them all, but failed with the leader. I listened and then muttered, "So you can give me my hands back?"
"Not just any hands Jimmy, two normal, five fingered hands. You can have your life back, you can get out of the show, you can be happy again." Elsa beamed.
"What did Alicia say when you told her?"
"Oh you mean Miss Approval, she approved." The man replied smiling
"Then if she said it was ok I want you to do it, but I don't want to leave the show." I replied, looking at Elsa now, "You are family, and I'm not leaving my family behind."
"Well lets get started shall we?" The doctor said, pulling up a chair across from me, and retrieving a notebook from his bag.
