I clutched the coin tightly as I began thinking of the present. Take me to the present, take me to the present! I pleaded in my head then closed my eyes... I opened them to find that I was still in the bathroom. I quickly looked at the date on my mobile. Dammit! Still in the past! I was still in the past and starting to panic. I then sat down in a corner and began rocking back and forth with my arms covering my head. I don't really know why I did this, I guess it calmed me in a way.
I began thinking of the other circumstances that lead me to my time travel, not only did I have the coin, but I was also in the Bermuda Triangle! That's it! The Bermuda and the coin combined sent me to the past! I then stormed out of my bathroom, hoping I had enough money to take a ship to the Bermuda.
Wait... A thought suddenly stopping me in my tracks. I was already holding the coin for a couple minutes before I was sent to the past, it must be something else. There's got to be another variable in this equation... I thought when a loud banging came from my door. Then instantly the three band members barged in without my consent.
"What's wrong, Murdoc?" Noodle asked questionably.
I lost my breath when I realized what had been the missing variable in the equation for my apparent time travel, Lightening.
"Lightening! ELECTRICITY!" I shouted like a mad man and ran downstairs not letting the others react fast enough. They all ran downstairs and gasped as I held the coin in my right hand, and a metal fork in my left. I heard protests of "No", and "Are you stupid?", and "'Da fuck is wrong 'wit you?" as I thought about the present and stuck the fork into a power outlet.
I was greeted with the familiar feeling of being electrocuted as I closed my eyes and thought deeply about the present. The pain stopped and I couldn't tell if I was conscience or if I had blacked-out. I finally decided to open my eyes. I looked around and saw that I was in my bed. I pulled out my phone and was elated to see that I was back in the present, about 4:30 in the afternoon, that must have been the time when I had traveled to the past. I was a little surprised to see that I wasn't on the cruise, so I got up and began heading downstairs.
"Look who actually decided to get up." Noodle joked playfully as I made my way to the living room. Russel sat watching the TV as Noodle fiddled with her guitar. I then heard 2D slowly make his way to the living room. I gasped and looked at him with confusion. 2D had very large, very dark bags around his eyes like he hadn't slept in days. Upon sitting with Russel on the couch, he began shoving tons and tons of pills in his mouth as if they were candy.
"Shit, I haven't seen you take that many pills in ages! You and Jeiel have some kind of fight, mate?" I asked, concern and alarm imbedded in my words.
The band members stared at me for a moment, confusion in their facial expressions.
2D finally broke the silence by saying, "'Wot are you talking 'bout, you see me take 'fis many pills everyday and it never concerned you once..." 2D said scratching his head then asked, "Who's Jeiel?" I put my hands to mouth as I realized I had fucked up the future!
"Don't play games with me, face-ache! You know who Jeiel is, she's your bloody girlfriend. Yu'know, blonde, usually covered in hot pink, shopaholic, pretty...?" I exclaimed, my tone reaching high-pithiness, scaring myself at the squeakiness that came out of my mouth.
"I have a girlfr'end?" 2D asked, an eyebrow lifted up.
"She saved us from the fire... she also was the one who helped you meet Darla!" I said pointing a finger to Russel.
"Whoa man, are you drunk. Who's Darla?"
I sighed then yelled, "Your girlfriend, lard ass!" I was beginning to get impatient.
"Fire?" Noodle questioned, remembering what I had said.
"Remember the 'clothing incident' and me and 2D had to buy all new clothes, and I started a fire too early and almost got us killed but Jeiel rescued us? It was legit last year, this day! This bloody, fucking day!" I said, my breathing becoming in short, shallow wisps.
My breathing got dreadfully worse as I remembered going to the past... that car that I hadn't hit... it was Jeiel's family. I changed history by not hitting them... We never met Jeiel because I never hit her family and put them in the hospital! Coming to this fact, I doubled over and passed out from being over-whelmed by everything.
I woke up to a cold, moist feeling on my head. I opened my eyes and saw 2D holding an ice pack to my forehead, I groaned as I remembered the hole I had buried myself in.
"I'm not crazy, Jeiel really is, well was your girlfriend. I traveled back in time and screwed up everything, I'm so sorry. But I promise that I am not lying when I say she was your girlfriend and you were madly in love with her." I grumbled, loud enough for 2D to hear. He looked at me skeptically.
"Last year, around 'fis time, you electrocuted yourself, Mudz. You stuck a metal fork in an outlet and you electrocuted yourself. We took you to the hospital, but when you woke up, you didn't remember any'fing." 2D explained. I sighed, remembering my time travel by electrocution.
"Yes I remember, but tell me what happened exactly one year ago." I asked 2D. Soon Noodle and Russel appeared in the room, just now hearing our conversation.
"Nothing happened, I think you and Dee went shopping, but there wasn't a 'fire'." Russel explained.
I looked at 2D then said, "What did we do last year?" My voice breaking at the end of my sentence. He scratched his head, then contemplated the memory.
"We went shopping for supplies to fix the power outlet you destroyed. That's all..." 2D said.
"What about the 'clothing incident?'" I asked. They all looked at me confused again.
"What 'clothing incident'?" Noodle said. I had done it, I had screwed up the future. "Destroyer Of The Future Award", goes to me!
I reached into my pocket and felt NOTHING! The coin was gone! I then began looking around frantically as my band-mates looked at me with concern. I then sighed and began explaining my predicament. I explained the time travel, and the future that I lived in before. They didn't seem to believe me at first, but after awhile they knew I wouldn't keep a joke or prank going for this long and they finally gave in to my story.
"I got shot in the stomach, in 'yur future?" 2D asked, lightly rubbing his stomach.
"Yes." I said flatly.
2D's eyes widened, "Then maybe I like 'fis future, the one I am in currently, better than 'tat one." 2D said. I rolled my eyes and took out my mobile. In it contained a thousand pictures of Jeiel, (she had taken my mobile without my knowing, and took a ton of "selfies" as a prank. I hadn't quite had the time to delete them all, yet).
"This is Jeiel, your girlfriend." I said holding the phone at 2D, who then took it to see the picture. Russel and Noodle peering at the picture from behind 2D's shoulders.
The picture that I had shown 2D was one of Jeiel posing with her lips pouty in what I think the term was, "duck face"? Her blonde hair in long curls and she wore a large black bow in her hair, her shirt a vibrant pink.
"Damn, Dee..." Russel said.
2D's eyes got bigger as he asked, "'Tat's my girlfr'end?" I nodded my reply.
"I 'fink I like 'yur future better." 2D said smiling while handing the phone back to me. I then pulled up a picture that Jeiel had taken with Darla. I showed Russel the picture and pointed to Darla.
"That's Darla, she's your girlfriend." Russel smiled contently.
Noodle then looked at me with bright eyes, "And now your going to tell me that I have some hot boyfriend in your alternate universe?"
I snorted a bit and said, "Nope, sorry mate." Noodle sighed.
"Well none of that matters now because I lost the goddamn coin and I'm stuck here! Ugh, I've really mucked things up now" I said sighing. I had to find that coin, I had to fix everything.
"I want to meet her..." 2D said.
I looked at him with sad eyes, "I honestly don't know where she is, mate."
He looked down to the floor then suggested, "We could find her, and Darla." 2D said looking back at Russel. My eyes filled with somber as I remembered Darla's problem. Oh no, her and Robbi would still be together in this future! I wonder what happened to the poor broad after a year with that mental case! I thought sadly. I had to find that coin, I just had to. Then I could make everything right, then I could fix everything... everything.
