"Tell me again." Jack laughs.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAjUMzaYFTQN
"You're an asshole- you know that, right?" I groan.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAZre0echjf6
"Please?" Jack begs.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAz6sK4nX8hG
"Ugh fine. Well I woke up with a throbbing headache and a need for coffee and when I tried to get off the bed, I fell. There. Are you happy?"
717Please respect copyright.PENANAuskc210BjV
"Very."
717Please respect copyright.PENANACsezx4gwGT
"Now can you please help me get off the floor?" I glare.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAcHeD2K0ZHp
"I want to admire this for a little while longer. Ryder Young. The all famous time traveler bested by a bed." Jack laughs.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAN5QCKcv8Rm
"Shut up." I get off the ground with no help from Jack. "Once again. You're a bloody arsehole."
717Please respect copyright.PENANANIuIMj9RJG
"What does that mean?"
717Please respect copyright.PENANAIC4QGzoxK5
"It means you're- for lack of better words, an fucking asshole."
717Please respect copyright.PENANAoStw7cJUmR
"Hey!" Jack laughs. "That's not very nice."
717Please respect copyright.PENANAWoz5POGLUp
"You're not very nice." I plop back against the wall. "I wonder what Izzy is doing right now. I bet she's worried sick."
717Please respect copyright.PENANAVdx5lvatbk
"Who's Izzy, your girlfriend?" Jack asks. "I forgot."
717Please respect copyright.PENANAD9sNoRmNuq
"She's my sister you dimwit." I throw a pillow at his face. "And besides," I whisper. "I'm not really into girls. If you know what I mean."
717Please respect copyright.PENANAShXpQ2szeF
"Oh.. OH." Jack realizes. "And people are ok with that in 2025?"
717Please respect copyright.PENANA5G3v7vejMH
"More or less. There are still people who believe it to be unholy but there's a lot more people who accept people as they are and let them love who they love."
717Please respect copyright.PENANAD29nNUVpVk
"I wish life was like that. It seems so happy and carefree. You don't have to worry about the dust storms or lack of rain or lack of meals or anything."
717Please respect copyright.PENANAZNBYvP650u
"It's really not that good. Except instead of dust storms we have global warming and the ice caps are melting and pollution and scary things like that." I sigh. "And I have to worry about if I go on a date with a guy would people harass me about it. And since I'm somewhat famous I already got harassed by people and then when I came out it just got a bit worse."
717Please respect copyright.PENANAVA2AMCWOJe
"Hey," Jack sits next to me and wraps his arm around me. "Let's try to stay positive. I bet we can totally get started on fixing your ship so you can get home!"
717Please respect copyright.PENANAfHyyIBPFyy
"That would be wonderful. You'd really do that for me?"
717Please respect copyright.PENANAnqA2RG3J6K
"Of course. I really hope you get home to your family."
717Please respect copyright.PENANA5EhUMPqybp
"I hope so too." I sigh.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAmsKONIPKLr
"So what is needed to fix the ship?"
717Please respect copyright.PENANAtiILVYT04y
"I don't know. I need to go look at it." So we do that.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAxkd2sqVrRN
As we walk back to the forest I don't notice anyone around town. But maybe it's because I'm focusing on my headache and catching up to Jack.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAQorpNvCkAv
We come up to the ship to find it exactly as I left it. Good.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAWLOaWGFZhw
We quickly get to work.
717Please respect copyright.PENANA2Pg13eahdN
"You know-" Jack looks at me. "I- uh..." he looks at me and then just leans to me like hes going to kiss me but then he turns away and leaves.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAzpXTdM0BI1
"Jack? JACK!" I shout and try to run after him but I'm stuck in place.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAZZvNRsjxcD
"RYDER!" I feel a jolt and open my eyes. Jacks standing there. "You were having a bad dream or something. I- you shouted my name."
717Please respect copyright.PENANAbW0OySV2TS
"Oh. Sorry." I sigh. It was all a dream. Of course it was. So he still thinks I'm straight. I can work with that. I pretended I was straight for almost 16 years. What's a few more days of it? "Should we go back to sleep probably?" I suggest and lay back down.
717Please respect copyright.PENANAcpadLZtHd4
"For your information," Jack starts as he gets back in his bed. "I couldn't sleep either."

The next morning after breakfast and everything we head out to the ship. Thank god for Jack because I really wouldn't know what to do. For anything. Especially right now. Oh god I wish I had my phone but I just had to forget it in our room in 2020.
