Stargirl, Michelle and their parents! Ok!!!
Chapter eight (Stargirl)
I listened to Gordy and Shelly from inside the door. Gordy seemed very uncomfortable,
"I'm sorry, Shelly, but your Mum died last night in a car crash" The words seemed to rebound around in my head.
"Stargirl? What's wrong?" Soda asked, coming over to me. I couldn't find my voice; I just burst into tears. Soda seemed pretty startled but he quickly pulled me into a hug. Shelly came back in and saw that I was crying. Shelly quickly came over and then pulled me away from Soda, she started to cry as well as she hugged me. The gang came into the hallway to see what was happening and Gordy stood around feeling helpless. I wanted the tears to stop, I wanted the pain to go away, but it wouldn't! I quickly left the house; I didn't want everyone to see me crying. I walked away from the house and down to the lot. I sat in the grass and placed my head in between my knees.
"This might not have happened if you had just stayed back in the future," A man said, coming over to me. The man had short black hair with faded jeans and a black T-shirt on.
"H-h-how-"
"I was the one who created that ritual that you and your sister did. I kept track of who cast it and you're the only one so far. I have taken the site down, I only needed one person to see if it was correct"
"Why did my mother die?"
"Get away from her!" I heard Ponyboy yell. I looked at the man,
"You don't know what you're doing. If you stay, you're family will be destroyed and then they will come for you" He said urgently. The man handed me a piece of paper,
"Say that to get back! Do it before your father dies as well" Then the man walked away. I quickly hid the piece of paper as Pony ran over.
"That man wasn't bothering you was he?" I shook my head and wondered if what the man said was true. Pony sat next to me and placed an arm around my shoulder,
"Want to tell me why you are so upset?" He asked. Slowly I took a shaky breath,
"It's my Mum. She died in a car accident last night" I felt Pony tense up and I realised that he lost both his parents in one night.
"I'm so sorry, Stargirl" Pony said a little later, holding me closer.
"It's not your fault. It's mine and Shelly's" I wanted to tell Pony the whole story. I wanted him to know more than anything.
"What do you mean? How could have it been your fault?" Pony looked at me puzzled.
"You probably won't believe this," I said toying with some grass, "But Shelly and I are from the future. The year 2002 to be exact. That man who was just there said that we have to go back or else our Dad will die as well" I pulled out the piece of paper and showed it to Pony. "Shelly and I have to recite this and then we can go back, but I don't know if I want to go back, Pony. I don't want to go back but I want Dad to live still" My shoulders started to shake again, I didn't know what to do! I had to talk to Shelly. Speak of the devil, well not literally but anyway, Shelly came over with Gordy.
"Shelly, Pony knows," I said, simply, glancing at Gordy.
"So does Gordy" Shelly said sighing and sitting down next to me. "Do you believe us, Pony?" Shelly asked. I also looked at Pony, I wonder if he thought we were nuts. I mean I would if I was in his position.
"It will explain a lot. Tell Shelly about the man, Stargirl" Pony urged. I sighed and told Shelly all about the man and what he said.
"So if we don't go back then Dad is going to die as well?" I nodded sadly. Shelly looked at me,
"You know that we could stay here for the rest of our lives. The gang would let us stay," She said slowly, not sure how I would react.
"But what about Dad?" I asked, not really believing that Shelly would want him to die.
"Well you said about that dude, right? Could you recognise him if you saw him again?" I nodded, he would stand out in a crowd. "Well all we have to do is contact him and get him to protect Dad and then we can still live here! Also, that was our old life, we should really just forget it because if we don't then we are going to get too attached to the future life and end up going back"
"Maybe the future is where we are supposed to be! I love it here and this has been my dream ever since I read the book but I'm not sure if I can just leave Dad there and let him die!"
"Stargirl, let go! You saw how Dad was in the car! He never was nice to us or Mum so why can't we just forget him!?!" I stood up,
"Because he is still my father," I said, coldly, before storming away. I heard footsteps behind me and turned to find Ponyboy. He came over shyly and we walked to the park in silence.
"I'm not upset at Shelly, Pony. Dad was kind of mean back home, but I'm not sure if I can just leave him! I want to stay here but I also don't want to have to leave my old life. I'm so confused, Pony. I don't know what to do!" I said, throwing my arms into the air dramatically and then starting to cry. "I don't know what to do!"
A/N: And onto the next chapter Bleu. I hope that you don't mind me changing Shelly a bit.
