Back to the story. This one takes place after the professor went to sleep, in the morning.
The professor woke up from his sleep. He felt weak for some odd reason. He didn't care; he only got up, got dressed, and headed to his office. That was, until he realized it was Saturday. He sighed when he remembered and headed back home. There, the professor felt dizzy, and his head was hurting. Then, his stomach turned and he raced to the restroom. He threw up, a lot. For a second, the professor thought he had gotten a concussion. But he wasn't sure so he headed to the doctor right away. On the way, the professor stopped by the nearest news stand to get the daily newspaper. When he paid the man, he lost it. His balance and thought, they started to fade. The professor tried to stay standing but lost control of his legs and he only fell to the floor. Many people saw him and they all rushed to try and help him. He blinked a few times to see people surrounding him but a few seconds later, he fainted.
Flashback The professor was walking down the street in and next to him was Claire Folly. They both walked to a tea shop that had recently opened up in town. Since they both liked tea, they thought it was the best place to go to after their classes ended. When they got there, they each got their own tea.
"You know Hershel, I recently found out about this time travel experiment Dimitri was planning." said Claire.
"Really, when will he be testing it?" asked Hershel while he sipped his tea.
"In about a month he told me. It's still a working progress." said Claire happily.
"Sounds like an amazing idea to me." said Hershel.
"It really is. I would like to travel to the future and see us both. I want to see how we are doing." explained Claire. She really wanted her future to be the best.
"That would be amazing." said Hershel as he gave a toast to the future time machine.
For the rest of the evening the two talked and drank tea. After they finished they both left and took a stroll at the park. When it was getting dark, Hershel took Claire to her home. "Thank you Hershel, for walking me home." said Claire. "Anytime for this beautiful lady." said Hershel. Claire blushed a little but not as much as Hershel did. Before Claire left she gave Hershel a hug. When she walked in her house and closed the door, Hershel thought to himself about how lucky he was to have Claire. When he got home, he took out a notebook and started writing how one day he will propose to her. Flashback over
The professor opened his eyes. He seemed to be in a room. Is this a hospital? He thought to himself. The professor looked around to see some machines around him. Confused, he tried to sit up but felt weak. That's when a doctor walked in.
"I see you're awake. For a second I thought we were going to lose you." said the doctor as he looked at a clipboard.
"How long have been out?" asked the professor weakly.
"For about a month. It's a long time but it's good to see you awake. You're still weak though. You must eat right away." explained the doctor.
A month seemed like a long time for the professor. Was he really that severely injured? A few minutes later, food arrived and the professor was forced to eat. He wasn't hungry but he had to eat to get energy. It was a week later that he was released from the hospital. When the professor got home he thought to himself on how lucky he was to be alive. Outside his house was Claire, who had once again appeared to the past. She looked through the professor's window to see a disappointed Hershel. Claire disappeared right as she began to cry. For the next few days, Hershel wasn't sure if he should continue his research.
I guess this chapter was, kind of boring? Sorry if it was, my mind was on other stuff. I guess I liked the scene, or as I called it a flashback. I will get the next chapter done hopefully by tomorrow.
