iTurn Back in Time

Chapter 5 : iGo Back

"Whenever I land, I have to tell Sam what I feel. This time, I won't fail. I promise."

Freddie

I was speechless at the moment. You're going to see her again, was what he said. I wasn't sure if I should believe him. This was insane. But if ever it was true, I would definitely do all things that can make me meet her again. Anything. Even if it costs me my life.

"Are you talking about suicide?" I asked, doubtful of him.

He shook his head. "Hell, no."

"You said I'll see her again. I was thinking of killing myself."

"No, Freddie, you shan't. Suicide is a bad thing. It's an act against God." He looked above him. "Allow me to introduce myself first. My name is Travis. I am your guide. I am sort of like a guardian angel to you." He began to sit in one of the chairs in the room and crossed his fingers. "I try to make it sound simpler to you. It's complicated and I can't tell you in full detail. I hope you understand."

And that made things a lot complicated to me too. My head was spinning. "Woah, that was..."

"Confusing." Travis completed the sentence. "I know it sounds difficult. I can tell you some minor details but the rest will be confidential. Plus, you're alive. You are human. Not an earthbound spirit or of some sort."

"C-can you tell me why you're here?" I sat down again, calming down. I breathe in air and slowly exhaled it, trying to refresh my mind.

"First of all, the reason why I am here is that I am granting your wish."

I raised an eyebrow. "What wish?"

"You were sleeping that time. You were mumbling in your sleep. Of course I know what your dream...nightmare was all about. I can read your thoughts, especially when you're asleep. You wished to return to the past. But I won't be helping you just for that reason. There is something way too deeper than that. I can't tell you in full or else I'll be breaking the rules. Our rules.

I didn't notice my mouth was hanging open until he paused.

"Second one, when you already got your wish and now in the middle of the process, you cannot redo what you have already done that time around. Neither you can go back again to the past because it has been already done nor change the future because it has been already set. Your actions will affect everything and everyone around you so be careful. Every single thing you commit costs a single event. Even if some details aren't done completely like the way they were done in the original timeline, this time, all things would just fall the same because you are just redoing it.

Third one, don't tell anybody that you can see me and that you already know what's going to happen next. Act like it's just normal or else everyone who interacts with you will dissolve."

"Hey wait," I called for his attention. 'What do you mean, dissolve?"

"Let me finish first. Fourth one, you are living in this world and at the same time you are not. It's like you are in an alternate universe, only the beginning and the ending are the same. Don't ever spill things you are not supposed to spill because that would destroy the time-space continuum. This is very serious, Fredward. It's a matter of life and death."

I mentioned something..time-space continuum? And me, time traveling? Woah. Cool. At the same time creepy and freaky. What if accidentally tell anyone about this? What would happen? Would earth dissolve into nothingness? Me trapped in between heaven and earth? Oh God.

"So you will be returned at the "beginning" and you have to let time pass. When the time comes that Sam would eventually die, you are going back to this world and start living your life normally. There are still things that I have left not telling you. Do you understand?"

I nodded my head. Excitement, happiness, loneliness and fear got mixed up inside me. For a second I forgot to breathe. I clenched my fists. Am I ready? I asked myself.

"Fredward Benson, you are now leaving. Please prepare yourself."

"Wait, what? As in now?"

Travis nodded.

I closed my eyes hoping to get there really quick. Whenever I land, I have to tell Sam what I feel. This time, I won't fail. I promise.

I wanted tell Mom goodbye, before leaving. I also wanted to tell Spencer to wait for me and say thank you to Carly for being my friend for the past sixteen years of my life. But I can't do these things anymore. I'm just sure of one thing; I'm going to miss them.

Goodbye present, welcome past.

I opened my eyes. Everything was in disarray: the whole thing was dissolving, the apartment and Travis had disappeared. Everything was in circles. Everything was spinning. I could hear a lot of voices and it made my ears hurt. I tried to look at my wrist watch but my sight was blurred. I can't see anything clearly. I caught a glimpse of it and I saw that my watch was spinning too fast.

Everything became white. The light blinded my eyes. Then all of a sudden, everything was pitch black.
