Cousin's in Time: Part IV

Ch 7

Annie's POV

Marty and I were at Doc's garage.

Doc came over and asked, "Well, how did it go this morning?"

Marty answered first, "Well, mom and dad bought my story that they were just tired from all nightmares that they were having lately. I never thought that they would buy it. It was a little too easy..."

Clara was making dinner and asked me, "How did it go with you Annie?"

I sighed and answered, "Dad didn't let me to talk to him. It was massively annoying! I'll try again later hopefully." I added sadly, "Maybe I should've switched places with Timmy after all..."

Marty wrapped me up into him and responded, "No way. I would miss you way too much."

I smiled at him, sadly.

Doc also added, "Clara, Jules, Verne, and I would miss you too much as well Annie."

I smiled at Doc and his family, sadly as well.

I responded, "That means a lot you guys but I think my dad would be better off without me."

A tear rolled down my face as I ran off. I got as far as City Hall when I finally bumped into someone. I looked up and saw it was my dad. 'Out of all the people in this world, why did I have to bump into the man I have to talk to and don't want too,' I thought miserably.

He said, "Annie. We need to talk about what happened last night."

'Now's my chance. I hope you're right about this, Timmy,' I thought.

I responded, "What are you talking about, dad? After Marty and I left the bus station, we got ready to go pick up Doc and his wife at the train station. You got in about ten o'clock and collapsed on the couch, falling asleep. And when I got up this morning, you were already gone."

Dad perked up and asked, "You mean you didn't go back in time?"

I answered, "What no, of course not dad. Everyone is a-okay. You know, knock wood."

I started to pray to God that he would believe me.

Finally he said, after a moment of silence, "Well, I'm sorry that I ran out this morning without giving you a chance to talk to me. I'm also sorry about what I have done to you as well. It's just, I miss your mom and I just don't know how to cope. I really don't want to tell you this Annie but..."

'Oh great, here it comes,' I thought miserably.

He finished, "I've been transferred to Tokyo for good."

My heart sank. Okay, not what I was expecting but it was still the worst news I ever gotten.

Dad hugged me and said, "I know it is miserable news, Annie but it pays for your college. I don't want to but it has to be done."

I was starting to cry and sadly said, "I'm just going to miss you so much, dad."

Dad rubbed my back and perked up at something. He said, "I know you'll miss me but at least you won't be home alone all of the time."

I perked up and asked, "What do you mean?"

He smiled and answered, "Marty shall be moving in with you."

I responded, "Are you serious? You mean it?"

He smiled again and said, "I mean it. After all..."

He turned me around and there was Marty.

Marty finished dad's sentence, "I love you."

I blushed at him and his lips drifted towards mine. The two of us kissed and we broke out of it. That's when I knew that things after this were going to be perfect. Marty and I together in the same house and Doc was back. Things in my life were perfect as Marty and I shared another kiss.
