Time Will Tell
" Meghan! Listen to me! I'm serious about this, I don't know how it happened but you did it, you need to bring me back to the future." Felicity Porter yelled. She was so frustrated. Meghan didn't believe her she thought she was crazy.
Meghan Rotundi sat in front of her mirror applying eye shadow trying her best to ignore the strange woman that claimed she was from the future. " Felicity, if this your way of crying out for help all you have to do is ask us. I mean we don't bite. You're our best friend and all. Besides if everything you said was true there's no way I can get that book you were talking about." Meghan got up and walked over to her desk casually. She grabbed her black leather gloves and slid them on her hands.
Felicity leaned on the door with her head in her hands. "But you had it. How can you not have it right now? Do you have any time traveling spells?" Felicity was desperate. She didn't think Meghan's spells would actually work, weren't they all fake? Magic isn't real, is it?
" Look," Meghan started and grabbed a tube of lipstick. "You came here for a reason, and that reason is"-
" To be with Noel." Felicity said cutting Meghan's theory. "I want to be with Noel." She stated again.
" Right. So, why don't you just stay here and be with Noel? It's not that hard. You can live with our past selves, can't you?" She joked. She smacked her crimson lips and got up pushing her chair in.
" Yeah, I can, but it just feels." She stood there her eyes filling up with tears. She began staring down at the ground trying to find a word for how hectic her life has been these past three years.
" Weird?" Meghan finished.
Felicity nodded softly still staring at the ground.
"Come on, Travel Girl." Meghan said and pushed her aside away from the door.
"Where are we going?" Felicity asks wiping tears with the back of her hand. Suddenly, without warning the door flew open and hit Meghan hard on the nose. Meghan groaned and placed her hand on her stinging nose. She glared at the visitor who just stormed into her room. "ELENA! You bitch! Look what you did! My nose. you better not have broken it."
Elena stood in the doorway with a nervous look on her face. She bit her lip and grabbed a whole box of tissue to stop the bleeding. "I'm.I'm so sorry, Meg! I really am! What do you want me to do? I'll do anything!"
While Meghan and Elena where talking, Felicity was speechless. Elena, Elena Tyler? No, that's not right, Felicity debated, Elena's dead. She died.
"Elena." Felicity muttered her eyes softening and breaming with tears. "Elena, is that you?" Her eyes searched Elena's eyes but all she found was confusion.
Puzzled Elena replied, "Uh, yeah. aren't I cute?" She asked twirling around. She then realized Felicity was crying and walked over to her. Felicity walked over to the bed and sat down trying to hold back more tears but they silently slid out. She wiped them away as Elena handed her some Kleenex. Soon more slipped out and she covered her face with her hands.
Elena pointed at her and mouthed, "What did you do to her?" at Meghan.
Meghan, still holding her nose, shrugged and gave her an annoyed look. " She says she's from the future." Meghan blurted out loud.
Felicity un-covered her face and looked up at her revived friend and smiled. "I'm so happy your alive, Elena!" She sighed and hugged her. "I couldn't stand it without you. we all missed you."
"Uhhm. right. What has gotten into you? I don't remember going anywhere but helping Javier with his. uh. let's just call it not-so-good acting." She patted Felicity's back. "You can let go now, sweetie."
But I can't, she thought. How would you feel if one of your best friends died?
Elena sat down on the bed.
" But you died." Felicity managed to slip out.
Elena bit her lower lip trying not to laugh. "No, No, hun, I didn't die. I'm right here! What the hell are you talking about?"
" Yes, Yes you did. In a car crash."
" Oh, goodness. I was in no- Is she drunk?" She asked looking at Meghan.
" Tsh. how should I know? She just marched in my room demanding to find a book." Meghan said promptly still nursing her nose. "She thinks she's from the future," She whispered as if no living soul should have known.
Felicity knew no one would believe her. Maybe she was stuck her for the rest of her life, well until the book came out. What was the name?
" Well, we better get to school. We're practically late and I have a rehearsal practice with Javier. he is NOT doing so good." Elena said and jumped off of the bed. "Meghan next time don't stand in front of a door when someone opens it. It isn't good." Elena laughed and hurried out of the room.
Meghan rolled her eyes and threw her Kleenex in the trash. She grabbed her backpack and motioned for Felicity to follow her.
" Where are we going?" She asked for the second time.
Meghan looked at her in disbelief. "Ugh. to school."
" C-College?" She stuttered.
Meghan raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, college." She rolled her eyes.
" But Meghan, I'm going to be a doctor in like five months. I don't need college, I just finished graduating."
" Uhm, remember Felicity, dear, we're in the past, not future. You know, you shouldn't be acting like this around our friends, they'll think you're a complete idiot, like I do."
She nodded.
-=-=-=-=-=
" Noel! Noel!" Felicity shouted.
Noel Crane lifted his head to the sound of his name. He smiled as he spotted Felicity. She waved at him with a huge smile on her face. Since when was Felicity excited to see him?
"Listen," She announced when she was a foot away from him, " we have to talk. It's important. About us." She said still smiling. She was so happy, this was her chance to start all over.
Noel gave her an odd look. "Us?" He croaked out.
She nodded wildly her smile getting wider. " Us, Noel. I was thinking maybe we could go to the café. Just for an hour. W-Well, unless your busy and all."
" No! No," He was getting a little too over excited. It was so odd, what did she want to talk about? Was it that important that she couldn't wait? " Uh, what time?"
Felicity panicked. She didn't think about the time. She looked around with her mouth opened and shrugged. "Seven- thirty? If not, eight is fine too." She stammered.
Noel laughed softly. "The café closes at seven."
Felicity blushed bright red. " Y-Yeah. I knew that," She laughed, " How about six then?"
" Yeah, six is fine. Till then?"
She nodded as one of her books fell to the floor. "Y- yeah, till then." He dropped down to the floor and picked it up for her.
"Your book."
"Yeah, my book." She coughed and grabbed it from him. "W-Well, I have to go now." She smiled her face getting even redder. "Bye." She managed to say and turned around walking the other way.
Noel stood there speechless. Wow, she was acting so weird. Was it because of that night? It was only for a few hours. He remembered how she stood up out of the chair on the top of that roof. She said something about how she shouldn't have been here and how she thought it would have never worked. She didn't have to sleep with him, but she did and then she was blaming him. He then thought about Ben and how mad he would be if he told him about that and if he took her to the café. Thank God he was off of work that day.
=-=-=-=-=
" And I'll give out the final grades for this month." The professor said as he walked around each of the desks placing a white sheet of paper on their desks.
Felicity smiled. She was always good in chemistry. She then realized how much she missed the beginning of senior year. Behind her she could hear the sighs and groans of Ben.
She couldn't talk to him. She felt so guilty of cheating on him and sleeping with Noel. She finally came to the conclusion that she should tell him and get it over with. He'd get mad, of course, and break up with her. Simple as that, then he'll meet Claire and have a happy normal life. Clair. How she hated her. Why did he have to go and cheat on her like that? She thought he loved her, but then Clair came and ruined her whole life.
She turned around. "Hey." She sounded like a small child.
" Hey," but he sounded stressed out.
" What'd you get?" By the looks of it Felicity knew he got bad grades.
Ben shrugged and crumpled the paper up. "Something close to an F, I guess."
Felicity nodded and lowered her eyelids. "I'm sorry."
"Nah, don't be. Chemistry isn't my thing. At first I wanted to be in pre-med. But, heh, don't think that'll work." He sighed.
Wait, no, he couldn't drop out. He can't! He was destined to be a doctor. He can't ruin it like that. Why is he doing this?
"No, no, you don't want to drop out. I know you can do it, I know it." That was true. She witnessed him graduating and Acing Chemistry. She was sure of it.
"No, Felicity, I can't. I keep failing."
Felicity blinked. "What if, what if I helped you? You know, like a tutor?" She asked.
Ben thought about it for a minute and agreed. "Sure, why not?"
Felicity smiled. Yes, this is the way it was supposed to go. She would finally be with Noel, Elena would marry, and everyone would have the right jobs. But then she remembered about not telling Ben about her little party with Noel. She decided it was time to.
" Uhm, Ben?"
Ben looked up his blue eyes glistening. She couldn't look at him this was too much. She averted her eyes to another classmate. She became nervous and tucked her hair behind her ears.
"I have something to say. to you. It's kind of hard, because I feel really bad about it. But it doesn't mean I shouldn't have. I really, really like you Ben and I'm happy we got together. I couldn't have asked God for anything better, and you"--
"What is it?" Ben asked getting a bit annoyed; he laughed hoping he wasn't pressuring her.
" W-Well." She then looked him in the eyes. "I cheated on you." She blurted out.
Ben looked at her but she turned away. He leaned on his desk. "You cheated on me?" He asked his voice getting louder.
Felicity nodded. "With Noel. I slept with him two nights ago."
He sat back down shaking his head. "With my room mate. Gee, thanks Felicity. What were you thinking? Don't you love me?"
Felicity turned around again. "Of course I do. I really do."
" Then why did you do such a thing?" He yelled.
He stood up as everything and everyone in the room was silent. They stood at the heart-breaking scenario. He shook his head again and stormed out of the classroom leaving Felicity more irritated than miserable.
=-=-=-=-=
"You told him didn't you?" Noel asked softly.
Felicity nodded. "But that doesn't matter anymore."
Noel looked shocked. "It doesn't matter? Felicity he loved you like crazy!"
"No, no, he didn't. He didn't love me, I know that for a fact, Noel."
"Oh my God Felicity. Do you know who and what he talked about all day? Did you know you drove him crazy? 'Noel, guess what Felicity did today? It was so adorable!' 'Noel, you should have seen what Felicity was wearing, it was outrageous' 'I'm going to take Felicity out tonight, mind if you stay here and tape the game for me, Noel?'"
Felicity sighed. "But you don't know. Maybe later on, but you don't know what he did to me. In the future everyone will know."
Noel sighed and took a drink of his coffee. "So what was it that you wanted to talk to me about?"
Felicity smiled. "I couldn't stop thinking about what happened that night. Couldn't you?"
Noel knew exactly what night she was talking about, but played dumb. " Uh, what night?"
" The night on the roof. I was thinking maybe we could give it a chance." She said enthusiastically.
He then realized what she meant by 'us'. "Oh God. We can't do that. Do you know how badly you hurt Ben? He'd hate me; no he'd kill me. I can't, w-we can't."
" Sure we can. We don't have to tell him. He doesn't have to know." He surely doesn't deserve to know anything, she thought. "Please, Noel? Please?"
Noel shook his head. "Sorry, Felicity, but it's just not right. I can't lie to my best friend."
"Noel, it's not lying, he's just not filled in on what happening between us. Please, Noel. I came all the way here for you." She said.
" Uhm, the café isn't really that far away from your apartment, you know." He said.
She shook her head. "You wouldn't understand. Now please give me, give us a chance."
"Felicity. I can't, it's not right!"
Felicity looked down her eyes filling with tears. How could he just turn her down like this? She came back from the future just to be with him. Only him.
And she remembered,
" Meghan, I wish I could go back. Back on the roof. With Noel."
"For me?" She asked as tears slid out.
Why was she crying? Did he hurt her that much? He didn't mean to.
" I wish I could start all over again, Meghan, and be with Noel. Ben's just not the one for me."
Noel sighed. "Ok, well maybe we can try it. But I'm not promising anything."
Felicity smiled and hugged him. He blinked a few times and finally hugged her back. "I'm glad I made you happy. Now please try to cheer up Ben. He's acting like a complete ass."
She laughed. "I'll be tutoring him for chemistry," she said sitting back down in her seat.
"Really? Wow, I heard he wasn't getting any good grades."
She nodded and picked her things up. "Well, I really have to go. Sorry, and thank you so much Noel. I appreciate you giving us a chance. When can we meet up later?" She asked balancing her things on her knee.
" Uhm, maybe tomorrow? I'll be here again, I have work."
She smiled. "Alright, I'll see you then."
"Yeah, uhm, have a great night."
" You too."
" I have a time-traveling spell. Maybe we can bring you to the past, y'know when you were on the roof. Just need a few things from you that's all."
"OW! Meghan! That hurt!"
"Well, I needed your hair."
=-=-=-=-=
As Felicity walked out of the café and into her apartment she realized something. She ran into her room and looked in the mirror.
My hair, she thought.
"It's curly again. Oh my God."
She ran to her bed and laid down. She was too tired to think of anything. She finally got what she wanted so shouldn't she feel relieved? Instead she was feeling miserable and home sick. She wanted so much to go back to the future. Everything was different and she hated it. She didn't want to wait around for another year knowing what's going to happen each and every day. And she definitely didn't want her friends to be weird around her. What if Ben doesn't pass chemistry? It wouldn't be the same. Suddenly there was a soft knock at the door. Felicity jumped off her bed and opened the door. She saw Ben standing there nervously. He smiled a little and gave her a thick book. For a moment Felicity thought it was the book that brought her to this horrible place but quickly frowned when she noticed 'Chemistry' in big printing. She nodded and took it. Neither of them were talking, they didn't know what to say. Finally Ben cleared his throat. "So. you say you're going to help me pass?" He asked staring at his feet. "Oh. uh yeah. Yep. I am." She smiled and she too stared down at her feet. She looked up at him. "Ben I'm so sorry"- " Listen I shouldn't have yelled at you"- " I knew it was wrong I just"- " I probably didn't treat you right that's why." " Everything was so hectic and you know." Suddenly Ben cracked a smile and Felicity Porter began giggling. " I remember when we used to do that. God, it was fun. Talking over each other. I miss it. I miss you, Felicity." " Ben, you know perfectly well I'm with Noel. Please." Ben nodded. "So can we set up a date-I mean time to study?"
[Disclaimer] + Felicity is NOT mine and will NEVER be mine. and the answer's 'no' if your wondering if I'm making money off of this. ^^

She wanted so much to go back to the future. Everything was different and she hated it. She didn't want to wait around for another year knowing what's going to happen each and every day. And she definitely didn't want her friends to be weird around her. What if Ben doesn't pass chemistry? It wouldn't be the same. Suddenly there was a soft knock at the door. Felicity jumped off her bed and opened the door. She saw Ben standing there nervously. He smiled a little and gave her a thick book. For a moment Felicity thought it was the book that brought her to this horrible place but quickly frowned when she noticed 'Chemistry' in big printing. She nodded and took it. Neither of them were talking, they didn't know what to say. Finally Ben cleared his throat. "So. you say you're going to help me pass?" He asked staring at his feet. "Oh. uh yeah. Yep. I am." She smiled and she too stared down at her feet. She looked up at him. "Ben I'm so sorry"- " Listen I shouldn't have yelled at you"- " I knew it was wrong I just"- " I probably didn't treat you right that's why." " Everything was so hectic and you know." Suddenly Ben cracked a smile and Felicity Porter began giggling. " I remember when we used to do that. God, it was fun. Talking over each other. I miss it. I miss you, Felicity." " Ben, you know perfectly well I'm with Noel. Please." Ben nodded. "So can we set up a date-I mean time to study?"
