Timeless love

Chapter 5

Entry 1

So. the portal did not lead back to my time... Instead I'm being hunted down by the DIA, cops from 2056.

Turns out when people see you walk from a portal you are greeted with open arms and gifts.

The good news, though, is that Alice is also here! Seems like I'm going to see a lot more of her.

According to her, this is actually time jump 4 for her, but for me this is time jump 1. She has seen me 4 times since now, and it looks like the first time she sees me time jump will be the next. It's all confusing, but according to her the journal Professor gave me was from her future self, and it's supposed to help her know where to find me each jump. I'm honestly just acting like I know what she's talking about, but I have no clue what's happening.

I had already guessed I wouldn't be put back in my own time, I just got caught up in the moment. It was between a shelter and being stuck here for my life or going through a portal.

I obviously chose the portal.

Right now we are hiding in an abandoned blimp, and Alice is just waiting until my next time jump.

Entry 5

Now I'm in 2040. I've seen Alive 5 times, and she's seen me 20. She seems extra clingy now, and is being very cautious, warning me about my next jump. It looks like I'm stuck between time zones 2022 and 3001, my time and my last team jump. I've gotten to know Alice more in between running from mutated insects and angry steampunk cops, and she seems pretty awesome. She sometimes tells me stories from the 1800, when she was born. I know she exaggerates some, but honestly I don't mind, I do the same things with stories of the future. As I write this, Alice is sleeping on a hay bale. We were running from some hunting dogs, and hid in a barn. Not the best sleeping area, but it's better than nothing. She seems very tired now, almost passing out once we stopped. I have to wake her up, my portal is back.

----------------------------

Entry 23

Soo. It seems like I'm never getting back to my time. Right now it's Alice's 6th time seeing me, so we arent as close as we were on jump 10, where she was on jump 34 and was pretty open with me. This jump seems particularly long, since it's been a day in 2024 and my portal still isn't back. I already know the jump does appear, but it seems like it takes longer each jump. I honestly don't know why I keep writing this, it just keeps my mind off of everything going on. I have been hoping that maybe my time group finds me, but that seems unlikely. When a time traveler disappears, especially in a dangerous time zone, no one can go back for them. We all signed a paper saying we would not go back for our group once they are left. It sucks, but I guess being independent is now becoming useful. 

--------------------------

Entry 52

I'm starting to really hate time travel. It's been 52 jumps, and now I just want to give up and stop going into the portals. I tried to stop last time, but Alice (who was on jump 53), just pushed me in. I guess if she's not giving up, I won't either.

It must suck for her, having to wait years before you see a friend again. Yes, I'm calling her my friend because she is one. I've given her mouth to mouth after almost drawing in 2035, so you bet we are close. Alice hasnt appeared yet, but she already warned me that it takes her awhile to get to my jump area, so Im kinda just sitting here in 2062, in a coffee shop that has the best hazelnut hot chocolate. Oh! She just walked into the door.

----------------------------------

Entry- you know what? No one cares.

It has been 61 jumps. I'm honestly giving up on this. My leg got cut again by mutated insects (caused by the 2025 meteor), and honestly I'm having a rough time. Alice (on jump 65) won't talk to me, and now I'm just sitting here in 2046, hoping the radioactive stuff did not infect my cut from the last jump. This journal is helping me keep track of everything (and keep my sanity), but I just kinda wish this was over. 

------------------------------------------------------

Last entry- hopefully.

According to Alice, this is my last jump until I reach my time. It's been a year of travel, and I'm ready to just sleep forever. Over this past year me and Alice have become close, and once I get home I'm going to sleep then search for her. That's my plan.

And give up time travel, maybe start a flower shop. I've grabbed tons of seeds from each jump, and I think I would love gardening. A peaceful life will be nice.

( yay! im pretty sure this is the longest chapter, and its nearing the end of the story! hope yall enjoyed!)
