The Girl He Left Behind:
He pulled the crumpled photograph out of his pocket. It was slightly torn and wrinkled from being in his pocket for so long. Bart stared at the picture of her. The girl he had left behind in order to save the future. Her voice still lingered in his head.
You don't get it! Without you, I don't have a future.
Bart remembered everything about her. The way she would smile at him. The look of compassion in her deep green eyes that appeared whenever she saw him. He loved her so much...and he had to leave her behind. He would give anything in the world to be with her. It breaks his heart, every time he thinks about her. He stared down at the picture in his hand. That's all he has left of her, a picture and his memory. Before he knows it, tears are falling down his cheeks. He missed her. Bart still remembers the last night they spent together. He remembers her crying and pleading with him.
Please, don't leave me...
He continued to stare at the picture. They were sitting on some rubble, not the most romantic scene. His arms were wrapped around her waist and her arms were wrapped around his neck. She was so beautiful to him. They were smiling at one another, starring deep into each other's eyes. Their foreheads were pressed together, keeping them close. He wanted to hold her, to talk to her, to see her, to kiss her. He missed her. Bart vowed to remember everything. To never forget the girl he loved and still loves.
I love you, Bart.
Her hair was always so long, so...pretty, with it's light brown color. Bart wished that there was some way that they could be together, but they couldn't. She was in a whole other time. His heart was shattered to pieces, he hated leaving her behind like that. Of course, she could take care of herself. She was so smart and she was tough. Bart loved her. There was a knock on his door. His eyes didn't leave the picture. He was done hiding it, he was done pretending. Bart had told no one about the girl he loved and he was done pretending she didn't exist. "Come in." he said, voice shaking. The door opened and Barry walked in. The older man was smiling, until he saw Bart. Barry rushed to his side and sat next to his grandson from the future. They both stared at the picture. "What's her name?" he asked, concern filling his voice. "Maggie..." Bart whispered. It was the first time he had spoken her name in weeks. Bart was reminded of when they met, which was when they were both 13, two years ago (in the future).
Hi...I'm Maggie Jordan.
"What happened to her?" Barry questioned, looking up at Bart. He remembered the last words she said to him.
Come back to me.
She had known that it was a one-way trip, she knew that he wasn't coming back. Bart had wondered why she said it. He realizes that he hasn't replied to his grandfather. "I left her behind..." Bart whispered. He loved her so much. She was all he had left in the future. She was what got him through every single day and now, she was gone. Bart would never get to see her smile. She was the girl he had left behind. The only girl he loved.
***THE FUTURE***
(Just after Bart leaves and fixes the future.)
Maggie fell to her knees. She had put on a brave face for the last couple of hours before the love of her life had left her. Now, she didn't care who saw. Maggie let all of her tears pour out. Then she stood and wiped her tears away with her sleeve. She picked up a rock and threw it, letting out a scream of anger. The rock didn't go that far. "He's gone..." she whispered, sniffling. "I will never see him again. Never." Maggie spoke in a dark tone. "I wouldn't say never." Nathaniel replied. She turned and looked at the old man. He stood there, grinning.
Yay! :D I wrote this in like two hours! No joke. My computer messed up, big time. I forgot to save it and when I accidently hit backspace all of my progress was gone. So, then I had to retype it. -_- I hope you like this story. It's something I've wanted to write since I saw "Bloodlines". Please Review!
