Getting Close to Truth

After our coffee date, we decided to walk home. The sun sets and the breeze is chilly that really gives us a sweet vibe. We hold hands and watch the tall buildings starting to open their city lights.

I feel this genuine happiness with Lena, the contentment and the love that I feel for her. After a long adventure of this time travelling, it is ironic that the person who's meant for me is my bestfriend.

"Sum.."

"Yes Lena?"

"Why you asked my out?" She asked while we walk holding hand in hand.

"Because after all these things, you're the only person who didn't leave. You're the person who really cares for me who love me unconditionally. You're the kind of person who will save me even if your life will be in danger. That's why I love you, and I'm so dumb for not realizing it before"

"I love you Summer"

"I love you too Lena"

Van came out, my friends having their boy friends and me having my Lena. This life is so perfect that I wouldn't want to wake up and skip 4 years of my life again. I want to start and cherish every moment with them.

I closed my eyes because tomorrow is going to be 2018 and this have to be my last time travelling because my eyes were getting weak and if I continue this time leaping I'm going to be blind. Everything is perfect, this will be my perfect life!

Before I fall asleep, someone texted me. Seriously?! In the middle of the night?!

I opened my inbox and saw Lena's message.

"Dad bought me books! I'll show you tomorrow, this is my favorite!"

No wonder that book she's talking about is the book that she introduced to me when this time travelling shit happened. Her dad really supports her being gay, that's so sweet.

Wait a minute.

Dad.

I didn't tell him about the mailbox today. In that case..

I ran out of my room going through mom and dad's bedroom, I have to tell him to stay away from the mailbox so he could live in the present. I slipped on the stair and I just fund out that my head will hit the wall, I closed my eyes because I know it is going to be pretty painful. Blood runs out all over my face, my vision is getting weak. I forced to crawl into dad's room, luckily he opened the door and shouting that I cannot understand because I'm getting unconscious, but I have to tell him to stay away from the..

"mail.. box..."

That's the only word I said before leaping through time.

- - -

"I brought you apples today. Please wake up"

I groaned in pain as I wake up. I raised my hand and stared it for a couple of seconds realizing that my eyes are getting really weak, but I have to do everything all over again because I know that dad this time is..

I don't want to think of it, I just have to bump myself again to save dad. I walk carefully through the stairs because it really reminds me of what happened. The accidents that happened to me gives me traumas, but I'm used to it.

"Good morning Sum"

"Good morning mom" I respond and sat on my chair to eat my cereal. I'm not in the mood today because I'm getting sick of this time leaping.

"No good morning for me?" Someone speaks behind me, as I turned my gaze I saw dad alive and smiling at me.

"Dad?!"

"What? You look like someone who saw a ghost" I stood up and hug my dad, I thought he's dead!

"What happened to you?! Why are you alive?!" I asked while I squeeze his arm in misbelief.

"Because I'm breathing?" He joked.

"B-but you're supposed to be-"

"Dead" I am now surprised, how the hell he knew about that?!

"Yes.."

"You don't remember Sum? Four years ago, we had a dinner in our house after your graduation"

"and??" I asked impatiently.

"That night I went outside to check the mail" I closed my eyes because the image of dad being hit flashes in my mind. "I thought there was a mail but none. Before I come inside the house, a car hit our mailbox."

"There's no mail? B-but, there should be a letter inside it.." What happened? Why there's no letter inside the mailbox? As far as I remember I didn't do anything about the mailbox before I leap through time.

"Why? Do you want your dad to be a dead meat?"

"N-no.. I'm just curious. I have to find out." I left the house spaced out and went through Nancy and Dylan's wedding.

- -

I can't see Lena's figure here. She should be here by now.

"... I am so thankful to have Dylan in my life. He's my bestpal, my dad, my brother and my lover. He's the reason why I'm happy each and everyday. I can't live without him. And I know that Dylan is my soul mate since day one. I love you, and I always be." Nancy said. She kissed her husband in front of everyone. I look around and still, I can't see the blonde girl that I love.

All of the people inside the reception clapped their hands, someone said "awe" and others got teary eyes because of that speech. But I'm still wondering where the hell is my girlfriend!

"They look perfect with each other." As I turn my gaze, I met again those ocean blue eyes who looks tired.

"W-what happened to you? Where did you go?" She sat beside me and leaned her head to my shoulder.

"I woke up early for my job interviews today.. And I failed"

"Job interview? But you own a restaurant"

"Restaurant?" She laugh bitterly.

"I don't own a restaurant, you're the only one I have"

"But why... I don't get it. You don't have a stable job, you're supposed to be the person who want you to be!"

"Let's talk about it later okay?" She said. She's hiding something, I have to know everything.

Why there's no mail.

Why Lena's future changed not mine.

Am I not the one for her because she's not the person she wanted to be just like my case on Gigi?

In that case.. The letter.. Has something to do with every shits happening to me right now.
