It's
been a month since I met the strange man who my stupid brother believes is
himself 11 years into the future. Another person, Maeve Livingstone, came back
into the past. This is hard to believe, but they've shown me so much evidence
it's almost impossible to not believe them. As my "future self' said the day is
getting closer and closer.
February
20th, 2024.
"Hey,
old man, I have a question," I asked. "Old man? I am your brother." Future Seth
replied. "Same thing," I told him. "Wow, you haven't changed!" He told me. "And
you have" I annoyed him. "Why am I fighting with a child?" He asked. "I don't
know, why are you?" I replied. "Alright, what was your question?" He asked. "Well,
you didn't mention any of my friends, so I'm wondering where Noorah in the
future is," I questioned. "Noorah? You guys stopped being friends in 2024. You
guys got in a fight. I'm pretty sure she is in the east currently in 2035." Future
Seth answers. "No way. There is no way that happened. I am aware her family is
from the East, but we would never fight!" I argued. "Did Alicia never mention
Noorah in the letters?" Future Seth questioned. "Not even once," I replied.
"Get over it she didn't even last for that long" Future Seth insisted. "You're
in no place to decide for me." I talked to my brother but older, I guess. These
days have been so weird. I still can't come to believe all this is real. I head
home the streets are super dark, and the streetlights are blinking. the moon is
out. The flurries begin to fall, and the breeze starts to get chilly. Then I
hear a man behind me. "Excuse me you dropped this." A man told me. I looked
back to see who it was because the voice sounded familiar. I knew the face, but
I just couldn't remember who he was. "I've seen you before", I claimed. "I was
about to say that too!" He chuckles. Do you by chance work with Seth Kennedy? I
ask. "Yes yes, I do! He gasps. I remember now! You're Alicia! His little
sister!" He smiled. "And you are?" I ask him. "My name is Maeve Livingstone.
"He answers. "Wait, You're Maeve!?" I say in surprise. Seth mentions Maeve
all the time. I can tell they are very close. Even in the next 10 years, they
are as close as ever. After we introduce ourselves to each other, Maeve offers
to walk me home. He walks me safely back home and I thank him and say goodbye.
"Hey, you're home!" Seth greets me. "You shouldn't be walking outside alone at
this time!" Seth scolded. "I know, it was just this once! Even better Maeve
decided to walk me home!" I told him. "Wait wait, hold up. Maeve!? Since when
do you guys know each other? I mean you called him to walk you home and not
your brother?" Seth questioned. "Woah woah woah. You're asking me way too many
questions! I am not close to him, we just managed to bump into each other." I
answered him. "That's not possible. Maeve does not live nearby; you can't
possibly bump into him! You think I would believe that!" He yelled. "Ugh!
You're so annoying!" I yell. "Wait, Alicia!" He yelled. I slammed the door on
Seth and ran away from home. It started snowing heavier. I couldn't see a head
of me anymore. I stopped and called the person who would let me stay at their
house at this time. Phone ringing. "Hi, Noorah!" I speak. "Alicia!" Noorah
speaks in excitement. "Would you mind if I stay at your house today? I fought
with Seth." I explained. "Sure, no problem," Noorah says. I headed to Noorah's
house, but it started getting colder and colder. I safely made it to Noorah's
house, but I probably caught a cold. Noorah opened the door for me and took me
to her room. "I'll bring you some food, take some rest here." Noorah
insists. Her room was very pretty and organized, the opposite of mine. There were
loads of plants, A lot of paintings, peach painted walls, the bed was made
neatly, with white sheets and a white puffy blanket and pillows, a white teddy
bear with a peach ribbon, her shiny white's dresser with silver knobs, a mini
chandelier and cute lights around her bedroom. I could never. I get a text
message from an unknown person. The text message says, "captain 5 betrayed us!"
I didn't know the person who send this message, but it sounded familiar.
Captain 5?
