Bella POV
I was different, I will admit that and I was okay with that. Everyone around me in the present knew it. It was like everyone in the world had their own tiny bubble and then there was me, sitting on the outside, watching them as life passed by day by day. I was soon to be a living science experiment. I managed to escape before things got too far, but I couldn't get anyone around me to officially accept me, no matter if the bystander had never met me before. No matter how hard I tired to be as normal as other people, they always seemed almost uneasy around me. I was excluded. I had an aura around me that screamed different. Not dangerous different, just different, something that people couldn't place, and that why I was always looked over.
The year 1917 was a place where I felt like I had a home, a place to where I could turn if I needed help or I was in some type of trouble. I was finally accepted into a place where I felt like I belonged. The phrase "living in the past" suited me well, although it didn't quite mean the same thing. Not being able to sleep was weird enough for me, but as well as being able to travel in time was just a whole new adventure that I was never quite sure what the outcome would be. After living sixteen years of not being able to sleep, nothing too drastic would be coming my way. If it hadn't effected me yet, why should it now?
Living in the past for a couple months; the same situation. If it wasn't effecting me now... why would it ever will?
I was right about the sleeping part, but the time traveling part, that came back to get to me. I couldn't tell him my secret. I couldn't tell him the truth, so I just tried my best to explain how wrong he was without exposing my most kept secret. But, every word said went in one ear and came out the other. He thought what he was doing was right, but needless to say, he was wrong because I already knew the outcome. Why risk it? At that moment as he walked out the door into the world, my life and heart shattered into a million pieces. So as I walked down the marble stone street thinking about where I stood then, I watched the sherbet sky penetrate the blackness creating astonishing colors seeping through the black hole. I sat down on the grass and blinked away tears that rolled heavily down my cheeks. I ran away from everything that ever truly meant something to me, everything that made the world worthwhile. I left him behind. I had lost everything…hadn't I?
