More Than Friends -- 2nd Part


More Than Friends -- 2nd Part
 



"But if I were to travel in time to the future, and stay there, what would happen to my past?"


"If we were to take into consideration, the multiverse theory, there will be a Jensen in a point in time which will exist in an alternate reality. This Jensen will be your past. So if you were to step on a wormhole and travel years into the future, the you that is talking to me will be the alternate reality."


 "So destiny cannot be changed?"


"Destiny CAN be changed, and you don't have to travel back in time to change it, or forward for that matter.
"All you have to do, is make a choice. Then the other possible scenario will dissolve."
"Okay, say I travel back in time right now."
"Kay..."
"And I meet the you from the past, would that change our conversation here and now then?"


"It would be a possibility. But not necessarily so.
"
If you travel back in time and meet the younger version of me, you would have then created another reality for you. Two parallel lines.
"So you tell the younger me, you come from a future in which you know him but older. Then you tell him you were able to time travel because you and the me in the future (me hehe) created a time travel device that allowed you to travel back in time; the younger version of me will have the power to make a choice in whether or not he wishes to keep said reality.
"For example: knowing that he will someday meet you and work together in discovering time travel, he could either avoid that meeting and thus changing realities, or continue on with the flow.
"In due case he avoids the meeting, nothing else happens, because it never did.
You get it?"
"But he always had a choice. Whether I time travel or not."
"But never knew the outcome until you traveled back and showed it to him. So the difference is that time travel provides us with the power to foretell the future and change what or avoid things."
 "So it is possible for me to meet someone NOW, in this present, that I am only destined to meet years in the future?"

"Huh! So that was the real question you had? I can see something is brewing in that hot-pot head of yours.

"Well yes it can happen.

"What if you were to meet someone from the future...?"
"Huh?"
"No, just hypothetically speaking..."


"Oh. Because that would be awesome right? To meet someone from the future, I wonder if I would ever..."
"Jensen, what if you were? Then if you meet the present version of that person, what do you think will happen to the one from the future?"
"Seize to exist?"
"It's a big possibility."

I finally got home around 10pm; the book store was busier than usual that night.
I found Jourdan on the couch, sleeping. I knew she was waiting for me, because she usually slept in my aunt’s bed. After all, she could make herself invisible to others, and that was to her advantage. 




"Jou."
"Jensen. You are home. I must have fallen asleep while watching TV."


"Listen, I want to talk. I’ll be straight."
"Sure…"


"I love you."

 


"What? What are you talking about?"



"Quit it. You know exactly what I mean."



"Jensen, no. This is wrong."
"Why?"
"Well, for once you are a kid."

 

"I'm 18. I'm not a kid anymore."
"I’m not real in this time. You understand?
"I don’t belong here."
"Tell me your last name. I will look for the real you in MY time, then we’ll see."


"I cannot do that."


"Why? Are you afraid you will disappear?"
"What?"
"It's a possibility. If you really traveled from the future, then you might disappear if I meet the you in my time. Because ill be changing things. In the other hand, if you are lying to me -which might be the case - then all that will happen is that I'll know who you really are.

"So what are you afraid off?"



"I... listen I really came from the future. I'm not going to explain that again. In the case that you are accelerating the course of our destiny, yes I might disappear, but what if this is destined to happen either way? I mean, if you are destined to meet the me in this time? You haven't thought of that have you?"
"So why not give me your last name then, if nothing will be lost."




"Jensen please understand, I cannot force things. Besides, I'm not here to make sure you meet me or not; you will meet me, in due time."






"Why are you here then?"



"I told you this. The you in the future is in danger, my presence here will help. That’s all you need to know."

"You are not fair to me. All I understand right now is that I came to care for you, you obviously care for me too, and that’s that."



"I don’t care for you. Not in that way."

"You're lying!"
"Okay, I will tell you this much: You and I are not lovers in the future, so please stop trying to be my lover now."


"I will not stop what I feel, I cannot."


"Jensen please!"

"Jensen? What is all these ruckus?"


"Aunt?
"Uh, nothing. Nothing is wrong."
Hehehe

"I think I must be sleepwalking…"
"Either go to sleep or go do your sleepwalking outside the house. But STAY QUIET!"



I turned to look at her, but there was nothing else I wanted to say. I felt like nothing I could do or say would make her understand at that moment...







... so I just left to take a walk. I needed to breathe fresh air. 
  
The town of Starlight at night is very beautiful, full of lights like the name implies, but dead as if everything that goes on here happens underground.  
All the parties, nightclubs... 





It was then I remember Maria’s invitation and I thought: why not? I need to clear my head. 




 

"Jensen!"


"You made it."


"Come on in, I want to introduce you to my friends."


"Jackie"




"Dann and Lori. They are an item, but always at war.
"Right, Lori?"
"Hello Jensen."
 
"... and Lucas"
"What's up buddy."
 
"Nice meeting you all."




Maria's friends are really cool people. Back then I didn't know they were going to be so down to earth. 
But I always kept things casual between us, they never asked me any questions, I didn't have to explain myself, and that was that. 




Maria was the only one who asked questions. Of course, she was trying to find out about me. I don't blame her, now looking back, I know she was genuine about her feelings. 



"You know my cuz is coming to live here."


 "Jouju is moving here?"
"Jackie why are you so surprised? Last time she was here she said she loved the place." 
"Because if Jouju comes, then there will be no guys left for us. 
"They all want to be with her." 
Hahahahaha


"Jensen come sit here with me. Its less noisy.
"So... were you a bad boy before? You know skipping classes and all."

  "Nothing of the sort. Just happens. You know; life."
"Well, hopefully life happens to be different now for you. I want to see you in class more."
"Why?"
"Because I like you."  


"No you don’t. You barely know me."
"See. That is what I like about you. You are a no BS person; I love men that are direct."
"Again, you barely know me."






After some more chit-chat with and flirting, I got up to leave. Maria was a fun girl, but it was way too late to be out. We had school the next day. Besides, I was still hurting over my fight with Jourdan and although I was able to forget about her for a few hours, my heart was not in the right place. 





I had come to realize what I needed to do. 
I had to make a decision of whether or not to continue with believing Jourdan. It was the time for me to either stay in my present situation, or move on with my life. 

Yes, she had been my one true friend; the person who had helped me through perhaps one of the most important moments of my life. 
However, my heart didn't think of her as just a friend anymore. 
She had to understand that.  



"I know this is very untoward but..."


Truth is, her not understanding wasn't the problem. 
I knew it, and it was what bothered me the most.



 


My dilemma had a simple solution; either I went on with Jourdan as a friend, or I ended our relationship altogether. 





"You do know what you just did, right?"

Making the decision was what was difficult. But when you are confused, hurt, and miserable, all it takes is one moment to stir up your feelings in the wrong way.  





Maria is a very attractive girl, and I was very pissed at Jourdan.  
People do stupid things when they are angry and in love. 





"Come here."
