Part 15 - dont let go

Red pov:

As I finally dragged her to the hallway, I paused, trying to get her to stay standing.

Leah: Red?

We both look behind us, noticing Leah Mona and Jack standing there.

I let go of future me for 3 seconds, and she collapsed on the ground again.

Red: ok, we can't be doing this right now.

I try picking her up. I see Leah and the other come closer, also picking her up.

Mona: Are you ok?

Future Red: Chloe hates me. I don't want to lose her. I feel so weak and tired from crying.

Leah: Let's go to my dorm.

So we all go to Leah's dorm. And set Red on Leah's bed. I grabbed the stuffy from the other bed and gave it to her. She grabs and hugs it in a fetal position. I then took off my hoodie.

Red: Well, that plan didn't work.

I say as I sit down beside the future me, rubbing her back. I could hear a few small whimpers come out of her mouth.

Leah: ok, so do you want to explain what happened?

I took a deep breath before speaking.

Red: I used my watch, and it brought me here. 1 month into the future. Both me and Red here saw a girl kiss Chloe's cheek. She ran while I stayed. And it was her cousin. I tried to find my future self here again, but when I did, I was too late because she broke up with Chloe over text. And now we are both trying to fix this mess. But we'll as you can see Chloe wants nothing to do with us.

I look down sad.

Jack: Wow, that's a lot.

Mona: Can I help? I hate to see you sad.

Leah: Me too. I also want to help. I really don't want you guys to break up.

Red: I'm all out of ideas, I don't want her to see both of us cause she'll probably get mad even more. I just don't know what there is to do.

Jack: I'm sure she still loves you. She has to.

Mona: Yeah, you guys did the magical promise like last week.

Red: Wait, we did?

I look behind me and find my future self asleep.

Red: Can we please sleep here tonight? I think we both had a rough day.

Leah: Of course you can. And tmr we can try finding a plan.

So we decided to head to bed early. I fell asleep rather quickly, too.

Future Red pov:

I woke up drowsy, I sat up and noticed everyone asleep. I checked the time, and it was about 2 am. I got up and started pacing around the room. The more I thought about losing Chloe, the more my heart hurt. My heart was pounding in my chest. I placed my palm above it, hoping the pressure would soothe me, but nothing seemed to work. My thoughts kept getting darker. I started to hear my mom voice in my head, not the nice queen but the queen that raised me. Her hurtful words and comments flooded my head. I was spiraling. It just kept going deeper and deeper. I then decided to leave the room to clear my head. Down the hall, and after a few turns, I found an exit door. It was the roof. I go out and start to take deep breaths, taking in the cold night air and the moon beams down on me, and I can see the campus. I decided to sit on the edge to relax. After 10 minutes, I finally calmed down. I kinda started feeling numb and emotionless. My brain started to feel empty. I looked around campus, the tourney field, the garden with all the flowers, and the town lights not far away. I swore never to do this, but It's my last hope. I gently picked up my ring finger, hesitated, but then gently tapped it a few times on my magical promise mark. I could also feel the pain. We programmed it so it would cause us both a noticeable amount of pain. Tears started to drip down my face. It was unbearable. I just started to cry.
