Trapped In Time

08

The ringing beside my bed woke me up. It was a pretty waitress I met downstairs, I picked up the telephone call to see what she was had to say.

"Sir, what would you have for breakfast" .

" If I want breakfast, I'm going to come down myself and get it"

"I'm sorry sir, but that's how we treat our grand customers over here, sorry if I pissed you off"

I hung up and stood up from my bed. I hadn't changed the clothes I wore yesterday, so I walked towards the closet and yes, it's filled with dresses. I wasn't just going to wear anything like that so I took my clothes off and went to bath. The shower wasn't what I expected, but at least it was good. What was I expecting by the way, I was in the past and I expect it to be like mine at home, now obviously something was wrong with me. I took my time in the shower and I didn't know how fast time flew. It was already noon by the time I was dressed and I hadn't even had breakfast. What time did I wake up? I think I must have woken up late, tired from the stress of yesterday and still recovering from the time travel.

Sydney, I had to get to him fast, whatever was happening this morning I had to be there, I had to get him to believe me, to trust me and to come with me. But of course I was late, as always.

I ran down the hotel and stopped at a cafe to get a little coffee before I walked into my car and drove off. I was starting to get scared driving this car about, the cops could see it, and I didn't want to go to jail in the past, no one was going to bail me.

I wasn't sure where to start looking for Sydney, so I simply went back to my house. As I turned the bend, I noticed cops around the house. They had shut the house down. They were looking for clues to find my mum, so obviously Sydney wasn't there. I decided to go to the nearby police station.

Hold up, you didn't expext me to walk in, did you?, what was I going to say to them, I wasn't so good at talking so I simply did the best thing I knew I could do. I froze time and walked into the police station, there was no trace of Sydney so I walked back out and got to my car before releasing time.

If I had to go to every police station to find him, I was going to do so.

I drove over to the closest police station, surely he had to be in one of the close by police stations. Except if they had taken him to the headquarters because he was stubborn.

So Instead of walking into his Police Station I Went straight to the headquarters of the city's police station.

And of course there he was, sitting by the front desk crying. I looked around and saw there were a lot of people, I couldn't talk to him in this crowd, and of course once again I froze time for the second time in one day. You should be all be pissed off by now at How slow your day is going because of me.

"Hey Sydney, listen to me I know you hate me but you got to trust me, you don't want to be in a foster home do you?, here, just come with me we could change this"

"And why should I trust you, I'm going to call the cops on you, I already did, I told them you were a suspect"

" Sydney how stupid where you, there's no way they're ever going to find me, especially not when I can do this"

I said pointing to motionless bodies of cops around.

"What did you do again, how do you keep doing that"

"You can do it also Sydney, the voices in your head, in our head, it's not just an imagination, it's not a hallucination.as much as I hate to admit it, they are real, you have their powers, you have the ability to do this, and in a short sentence we are one, I traveled from the future over here, I was in grave danger and the only thing I could do was come back in the past, you are me and I am you, just a little bit older tough"

" Abd what makes you think I'm gonna believe that crap. Time travel, that only happens in movies"

" You don't have to believe me, all you got to do Is help me. How about we strike a deal"

" What deal, I ain't making any deal with you"

" You could work with me and help me change my timeline,you do some things for me, and I'll help you get a normal life, I help you get rid of the voices in your head, I help you find Mum, I help you live a normal life, and you can stay with me the whole while"

" And what do I gain"

"Isn't that enough for you already, if you don't do this for me, your life is so gonna be messed up just like mine our lives are so gonna be messed up, and this is our only chance to changing that fact. I need you to help me, please and I promise you, you ain't gonna regret this"

"Only on two condition, you teach me how to do everything you do, and I make the rules around here"

" You must be kidding me right, I make the rules here,I'm older than you"

" I still don't believe that crap"

" Well you can make the rules but I get to decide if we abide by the rules. So how about I say we work out of this station now, or you still want to go to a foster home?"

" That's the last thing I want to do with my life, but remember I still don't trust you I'm doing this cause I want to get rid of the voices in my head don't try to play smart to me, I might be 14 but I'm smarter than you think"

"Yeah you are,but you can't beat Billy"

"Go to hell"
