I'm not sure exactly why I laughed when he said this. Maybe because after crying so much and feeling like shit you just go crazy? Whatever this man was a weirdo.
"Yeah sure, why you're at it teach me how to fly." I said standing up.
"I can bring back your friends." He said yet once again.
"Alright then." I said and began to walk away. He put his hand gently on my shoulder.
"You have nothing else to lose. So why don't you give me a chance?" He asked calmly.
He was right.
"Alright fine, what must I do?" I asked.
"See that telephone booth over there?" He said pointing.
What's he talking about. This town has no telephone booths. Even if it did have one, it certainly wouldn't be located in a dark alley. I looked anyways. There it was a red telephone booth. Maybe I was going crazy.
I slowly nodded at him.
"It's a time machine." He said.
I laughed.
"A time machine?" I asked smiling a bit.
"Yes that's what I said." He said starting to grow impatient. I decided to let him go on with this fantasy.
"Go on." I said waving around at him.
"Go in it, it will bring you where you need to go." He said simply.
I began to walk towards it but stopped when I heard the man speak again.
"To get back something you love, you must loose one thing you love." He said.
"Okay…" I said slowly.
"Here take this money. You'll know what you need to buy. Once you're done come back to this spot." He said leading me into the booth.
"Okay." I said.
I saw him dial a number then close the booth door.
"Good luck, oh and make sure not to be seen by yourself." He said smiling.
"Wait, what?" I asked but it was too late.
Everything was going blurry. The booth began to spin around. All of a sudden everything stopped. I opened up the door. It was very bright outside. I walked around. I quickly looked at my watch. I checked the date October 10, 2000 (a/n she is 17 now but 10 at the time, I think). My watch must have changed time and date when I came back here. I looked around I was in my old neighbor. I walked out of the alley. I couldn't believe it. I actually went back in time. What happened on this date? October 10, 2000 I whispered to myself. Didn't I get my first guitar when I was 10? That must be it. But why would he send me here because of that? Well I love playing the guitar. Wait I remember now. My mom took me to the store, and told me if they didn't have any left I wouldn't get one. When I got there, there was one left. I ran to the store, I looked in the display case. There it was. It cost $150. I reached into my pocket $150, perfect. I looked around to make sure I wasn't coming. I walked to the cash register. A tall man was standing behind it.
"Excuse me sir, I'd like to buy that guitar over there." I said pointing at it.
"Lucky you, that's the last one we have." He said walking over to it.
"Won't you have more later?" I asked getting worried.
"No mam' we're closing down soon." He said opening the case and getting the guitar.
"Here you go." He said handing me it.
I gave him the money.
"Have a nice day." He said.
"You too." I said.
I turned around and looked out the window. There I was walking with my mother. Shit. The man was looking at a magazine. I quickly hid behind a couple of boxes.
"Excuse me mister." A younger version of me said.
"How may I help you?" He asked.
"Do you have anymore of those fancy guitars left?" 10-yearold me asked.
"I'm sorry, we just sold the last one not too long ago." He said returning to his magazine.
"Aw mama." I whined.
"I'm sorry hunny." She said.
12 year-old me frowned.
"Come on lets go." She said taking her by the hand.
I followed them home. I just wanted to see my dad before he changed. I stayed behind them and sometimes hid in bushes. I walked past my old school and some of my old friends houses. Finally we were at my old house. I waited until they went inside. I quickly went up to a window. There was my dad smiling and laughing. I was on his lap. I now looked happy. And there was my mom laughing along too. I miss that.
A felt a hand go on my shoulder, I jumped a bit.
"Do you have the guitar?" The man asked.
"You scared me." I said breathing heavily.
"Let's get going." He said.
A few minutes had gone by when I decided to speak.
"How come you made me get this guitar?" I asked
"Lilly, Lilly I thought you'd be smart enough to know why." He said.
"How do you know my name?" I asked.
"One question at a time Lilly." He said.
"Okay answer my first one then." I said.
"Well seeing you never got the guitar, you never became interested in music again. Not forming the band when you moved. And then resulting in not meeting Hannah Montana." He said.
"What why?" I asked frowning.
"Lilly, don't you want to bring Miley and Oliver back?" He asked.
"Of course I do." I said quickly.
"Okay good. For now you will do what I say." He said.
I nodded my head. I just hoped after all of this I would have Miley back. We reached the time machine.
"Okay next place you will go September 1, 2002." He said dialing the numbers again.
"My first day of school in Malibu" I whispered.
