you are not the only one

2024

"What!" The two ladies yelled

"What do you mean" Alex asked

"I know you from there" gramps analyzed

"From there? 

"Yes. With what i put down here, you switched bodies with Alexa Smith a graduated college student who is a writer. She is 25 years old.Her father was murdered . her mother has leukemia which she eventually died of. She is an ex detainee alleged for the murder of Jane Andrews. She got her fathers position in the company. She was almost killed by her enemies and almost lost Jason to a planned accident"

Alex opened her mouth in shock.

"That can't be true" she recovered

"This is what happened. All what i wrote here actually happened"

"No it can't be. All those has not happened except for her Father's death"

Grandpa Carson squeezes his face

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah. Her mom does have leukemia but she is not dead yet and Jason hasn't gotten into any accident. She has not got back on her feet"

"Hmm" gramps rubs his beads

"Wait how do you know all this. You also time traveled?"

"Yeah i did and i am not the only one also you are not the only one who time traveled"

"O my God this driving me nuts" Alex scatters her hair as she looks for a seat

"Calm down girl" cler pats her back

"Since you time travel, how did you know me, i mean her"

Gramps smiled

"I was the doctor. Their family doctor"

Alex was left in shock, she was confused 

"What!"

"Yeah. I was doctor clement. i didnt know how it happened but i met myself in his body operating on a pregnant woman having a cesarean section"

cler opened her mouth in awe

"So what you are saying gramps is that you were a doctor there and the doctor was in you here" cler asked

"Yes. Your mother was still pregnant with you then and Chloe was just in the monthesary. Your father suspected something strange but he ward it off"

"No wonder you took interest medicine"

"Thanks to that"gramps pointed to the player lying on the desk"

Alex was still dumb founded. She couldn't believe what was going on.

"Alex you have to believe it no matter. In my own perspective, i think you were sent there to help Alexa. Like me even though i didn't know anything about being a doctor or a physician i was given a special ability to heal people. That was why i stayed. In addition Dr clement wife was going through a lot which was way beyond Dr clement's ability but with that (points to the player i did save her). You are chosen Alexandra. You are called by her to help her in a tough situation"

"So what do you mean" Alex asked

"You will have to go back"

"What's no way. No way. Am not going back to that place"

"Why. Why Alex. Is it because the people are different, is it because it was the 80's. is it because everything was not 100% civilised like today. Come on Alex you can do better than that"

"Oh please grandpa. You are saying this because you have been there and everything was going smoothly for you. I was not given any special powers like you. Yes it was the 80's but i wasn't born then this is 2024. you probably know how it was then since you were here before us"

"Yes you met me on earth but what you said doesn't seem like it. Being a doctor was very challenging. Everytime i go to that OPR room i always put patients life in danger. I tried not to use my powers but look at me, am in a wheelchair for Christ sake Alex. Before i came back here i sacrificed my leg inorder to save doctor clement's wife who had an accident"

The room became silent

"That is the sad truth . i didn't tell anyone cause i know that nobody will believe me"

Cler moves closer to him and hugs him.

"Am sorry grandpa"

"You may be wondering that it wasn't suppose to happen yes it wasn't but once i returned into my body i figured out that i couldn't move my legs it only takes a miracle for me to walk again"

"Am so sorry" Alex knelt before him 

"it's okay. Now it is your time to save body please Alex (he held her hand) please am pleading on Alexa's behalf. Save her from all her pain."

Alex couldn't talk as tears rolls down her cheeks

"Okay....i will help her"

"That is the spirit"

"Alexa are you sure" Cler askex releasing from the hug

"Yes am sure Cler. She needs my help. Since some of what grandpa said have not really happened i think i may find a way to battle against time" Alex smiled

"Alex come here" cler spreads her arms

The two friends hugged each other 

"So when are you to do it" gramps asked

"Very soon. Grandpa. I wish to do something first" Alex said releasing from the hug

"Which is" gramps asked

"I.....i want to take a break from my work..." 

Cler tries to cut in

"i know it is crazy but i have to because i dont want people to suspect a thing. Since Alexa will be coming over here and i will be there things will change. So that is why i have to"

"Okay. That is very smart of you" Gramps acknowledge her

"What is going to happen to the company?" Cler asked

"i will leave in it in charge of you"

"No Alexandra no!"

"But you are the only one who is capable. you have been my friend since we were young. I trust you"

"i insist on no" cler turns her back

"please cler don't be like that. She is your friend" gramps said

"Cler please" Alex turns her around and held her hand. "Please bestie"

"Okay okay fine. Am doing this because of gramps"

"Yay thank you"

The two hugged
