Chapter Two: Reunion
The sandals did not stop emitting the sounds as she went down the stairs quickly, she was desperate to be able to avoid what she remembered from the past of that day, the two were turning and walking the same path, they were getting closer. I have to stop them, I can't lose this opportunity they gave me, I was short of breath the more I ran but I decided to do something more effective.
- Damian. - I screamed for her to hear me, the first tears came from my eyes but this time it was emotion, I could not believe what my eyes saw in front of me after several months. - Demian. - He heard her name echo around him and looked around looking for the person responsible for that voice.
I couldn't help it and run towards Demian as fast as possible, I didn't want my past to meet him. When I had him as close as possible, I did not hesitate and I caught him off guard, I approached him to hug him with all the strength I had accumulated. How much I missed these moments of him and me holding each other but that magic did not last long since when he felt my arms around him, he abruptly separated from me and a part of me left with him. He looked me up and down trying to recognize me, puzzled he took a step back and I looked confused.
- And who are you? - Asked looking sideways to clear my gaze to his, he did not recognize me right.
- Demian come on, let's go quickly. - I grabbed his arms to go out in the opposite direction I remembered that my past is walking down this same corridor but, he stopped me and I stopped suddenly after that action.
- Wait, what are you doing? Who you are? - He asked scared, returning to his place.
The alarm sounded off guard.
You will hear a warning sound when you from the past get too close, you need to be careful.
I saw her behind us, I didn't know how to make him move from this place, so I grabbed his camera and ran away, maybe this was going to do the only way. I run in the opposite direction to be able to lose my past and for him to follow me and I was able to achieve it since he followed my steps quickly more than I thought.
"Wait, hey!" I heard his voice behind me, ignored his call and kept running through the art gallery as long as I could. - Hears! He stopped me, took a heavy breath and then spoke. - Why are you doing this?
- Damian Wright is me, Layla Stone. - I looked him in the eyes waiting for an answer from him. - Do not you recognize me?. - Put your head down. "You don't know who I am yet," I whispered, he just kept listening and kept quiet after my questions that he denied. - I know this may sound crazy but you need to listen carefully, I have come to save you.
- To save me? - He asks surprised. "What are you talking about?" He lets out a slight sideways smile and laughs at me. - Give me back my camera right now.
- Listen carefully. - I interrupted him. - You can never talk to me or look at me, you can't love me either. - I took my hand to his cheek to begin to let him caress. - That's the only way you'll be alive in four years.
- Is this true? Did you come here because you are afraid that I am going to die in four years? He bit his lip and nodded thoughtfully. "Okay, I promise, I'll never talk to you, so now give me back my camera."
The camera grabbed it from my hands roughly and started to get angry when it already got its hands on it. And he immediately put it in his bag so that I wouldn't commit another madness, but out of nowhere his anger was reflected on his face and it scared me.
"But what kind of fool ..." He stopped talking when he saw the girl's eyes about to cry again.
- Promise it .. - I whisper. - Promise me you'll stay alive. - He looked at her for a moment, he could appreciate her, she was a pretty girl who wasted her time talking nonsense, He only limited himself to walking away when he finished looking at her, he wanted to leave and return to what he kept doing before I interrupted him.
The alarm sounded, I was confused I thought I had already taken it out of the place where my past was. She turned back and could see her near the door, where Demian was walking out of it. I didn't know what to do and the first thing I did was run to my past, I grabbed her by the shoulders to make her look at me, I was able to appreciate myself at a younger age. My vision was blurring, I couldn't see, it was disappearing, until finally I did and there was no trace of me in the Arts Gallery.
The Layla of the present went back to her time, leaving the Layla of the past confused with what she had just seen, she felt dizzy for a moment until she couldn't feel anything else and passed out.
- Layla! - Her master shouted her name.
Demian turned around because he could hear many murmurs behind him that caught his attention, he could observe a girl lying on the floor, surrounded by students, he just ignored that scene, he had already lost a lot of time with what he was going to get involved with before. with a new one now and came back on your way.
Present.
I ran towards the main entrance of my house, where the photo of Demian had been thrown at me in our first meeting, but something had changed. The original photo consisted of me from the past with my school uniform looking in one direction but this new photo changed, now we both saw each other, me from afar running towards Demian's direction. When I went to the past, I stopped Wright before he took the photo I remembered, or so I thought. Had he done everything right? or so I thought. But I was confused why the other photos disappeared and there is no trace of us? What happened? I did what the boy at the bar asked me to do and now I didn't know what to do. After several minutes analyzing the situation, I decided to look for the person responsible for all this from the beginning, I returned to leave my home and took the first taxi that passed that night.
When I arrived I saw the empty place, I did not know how long it had been since I left but I think it was very late, I was able to locate the boy at the bar and I ran towards him. He was surprised to see me but before a word could come out of my mouth he grabbed my arm to lead me to the stairs that led to the roof.
- I stopped our first meeting. So why isn't he alive? - I was on the roof of the bar, with the boy who had helped me go back to the past. Joshua answered me by scratching the back of his neck.
- So did you travel back in time and change the past? – I ask the boy handing over the photo where the change he caused was seen. The boy looks at the photo carefully and nods at my question. – Then send me back to the moment before the car accident, please I beg you I want to save his life.
–The moment they met for the first time is the only one you can return to, if you prevent them from meeting it, I'm sure it could be saved. Because if your bond with him is cut, both destinies will change.
They will know the moment they look into each other's eyes and fate will move on. If you want to break your bond with him, you must prevent that first meeting from happening and return in the time that is given to you, but that means that you and your boyfriend will become incomplete strangers once their bond is severed, any memory of your love for him will fade from your memory. – He explains to me in detail. - Do you agree with that?
– Yes.
- I told you it was possible. - I grab the cell phone that I had used to go back to the past. - Take a look at this here. - He handed it to me and a video began to play.
The video coincided with our second reunion, as I was hitting him because he thought he was harassing me, but in reality, it was that he took a photo of me why I inspired him and always said: You break the rules of beauty. I laughed at that moment, for that memory, now I was breaking the rule of time myself.
"Do you remember this?" Joshua asks, nod. - If you all remember it, it should be easy to avoid it, the better you avoid that moment the weaker that bond will become.
"Can I go back to living in the past?" - I ask enthusiastically. - You said that our bond is broken if I prevent us from meeting, can't I go see them from afar? - I asked, he didn't answer. - While we were together. - I began to confess the past. - Not once did I love him with everything I had, I just let him love me. - I was beginning to feel a pain in my chest to remember.
- If you only had one day to spend with him. - He starts talking, I interrupted him immediately.
- Is that possible? —I asked, could I see him again and recover all the lost moments, I looked at him waiting for his answer, he nodded.
- But you must be careful, you will return to the present if you cannot avoid that moment, you will return if you cross the path with your past. Did that happen to you the last time? Truth? You will only have unlimited time to avoid the encounter, you will die if you take too long, do whatever you want on your last day with him and return to the present. You should come back as soon as the resistance sound sounds, Good luck Layla Stone.
