My Messed Up Life
Chapter 1
-Rose Hathaway August 5th 2028
Back in 2015, Where she originally was before any of this happened, people believed the future would be the best. How wrong they were. The people of 2015 had no clue what was ahead of them. Rose had no clue either until her friend invented something that she thought was impossible. An actual real life time machine.
Unfortunetly, there had been a few kinks in his planning to get us both here. It got me here only, but it wouldn't allow me to go back. Before she got to ahead of herself though, she had to go back to that day. That day that changed her life forever and sent her into a downward spiral. Her name was Rose Hathaway and this was her story.
-Rose Hathaway June 23rd 2015
Rose woke up as the sound of her alarm clock startled her awake. She stretched out and yawned. It was her first official day of summer and she didn't plan it wasting time in bed. She jumped out of her bed, threw darts at her Hannah Montana poster, and got her outfit ready for the day. It consisted of a lace black skirt, a red and black corset, black hooped earings, and what her mother would call hooker heels.
Next, she went downstairs and gave her roommate Lissa a hug.
"It's too early in the morning for a hug Rose."
"Cheer up Lissa. It's summer."
"I swear you and summer are like me and crack."
Rose laughed and released her so she could get some cereal. She found her lucky charms and poured some into a bowl. Yum. She ate fast, so she could spend the day helping Mason.
Mason Ashford had been her best friend since fifth grade. He helped her out by inviting her to stay at his home when her mother kicked her out of the house. She spent a little over a year living with Mason until she scrapped up enough money to be Lissa's roommate. Mason had reluctantly let her leave after she had assured him that she would be fine.
"What is on your agenda for the first fantastic day of summer?"
"I'm going over to Mason's house."
"OOOOH. You and Mason sitting in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g."
"Shut up we're not like that."
"You mean to tell me you lived with that hunk for a year and a half and you didn't tap that."
She laughed. "You are so gross sometimes."
"I'm just stating the obvious. He's totally into you."
"We're just friends."
"Sure you are."
"What are you doing today?"
"Work. You know some of us actually have jobs."
"I have a job."
"At a petting zoo."
"It's still a job."
"I better get going. Don't forget to lock up."
She nodded. As soon as she finished her cereal it took her ten minutes to get to Mason's house. She noticed him inside of the garage staring at his time machine.
"Are you still working on that thing?"
Justin smiled and pulled her into a hug.
"Hey Rose. Are you finally ready to test this?"
"You actually believe that it's finished."
He nodded and opened up the sliding door to the time machine.
"Does your mom mind that your using parts of her shower?"
"Just get in Rose."
She nodded and stepped inside. This better work Mason or else we're doing something else today."
"Fine. Are you ready?"
"Just do it already."
He flipped the lever and she cried out. A sharp pain rippled through her and pulled at her bones so hard that she thought they were going to crack. Then her hair lifted and her body felt like it was floating. Then she took one last glance at Mason before she evaporated into nothing.
