Perfect Timing

Chapter 41: Standing Next To You (The real ending)

Y/N POV:

My eyes shot open after wishing to go back to right when we got to the 7/11. I had a burning wound bandaged on my right arm from getting caught in the cross fire the last time I tried this event, but I can get past that now. I need to. Right now I have a very short time frame if I am going to fix everything. Jungkook motioned at the chairs with crumbs out front suggesting we sit for a second and call for help. "Did what I think happen just happen y/n?" He was panicked as if he saw ghosts.

"Everything is okay! We just need to keep moving forward, if we stop and rest now we won't get through this!" I shout.

He nodded with a new found determination and he we kept running. One mile, two mile, the adrenaline made me feel like I was flying. I started pulling his arm as he was falling behind. My arm was screaming from the wound with all this movement and these shoes were not made for this, but we had to keep going. It was essential that we make it to the police station before I pass out and risk slow us down and losing Jungkook again.

A red Honda odyssey mini van comes barreling down the street. The windows are rolled with waving hands out the window and there is shouting echoing the names "Jungkook!" and "Y/N!" A familiar face is behind the world. Marie shrieked out from the passenger princess front seat and Jess was driving, "What happened?!" The van pulls to a hard stop. "Why do you guys look like that?" She was right. Our dirty clothes, injuries, were quite the sight to behold.

"No time to explain, but we gotta go now!" I race to open the side doors open and shove Jungkook and I in the back seat. "Boy am I glad to see you guys, could you please step on it and get us any where but west of here? The nearest police station and a hospital would be spectacular"

"I already called the police because you guys are both missing persons right now, but yea we should call now" Marie quickly whipped out her phone and jumped to dialing. We started going into detail and they instructed us to stay on the phone and they would send police to the address. They also instructed us to meet them at the police station down the road if we did not feel comfortable stopping yet.

"This is crazy you guys won't believe what happened!" I'm holding my arm in pain, and I can't think too straight. Surprisingly I was expecting a headache or a lightheaded feeling, but it seems I am wide awake right now. Energy is coursing through my veins. The car was speeding and I was using my shaking hands to buckle us in. We clumsily plopped on top of Jimin in the back seat while we were scurrying to get inside the car. "I'll have to explain it all in a bit, but basically Tiffany has this crazy guy obsessed with her--"

"Omg, he's been texting and calling her like crazy, she just cut him off from contact and blocked that pathetic guy." Marie chimed in. "What does that have to do with you looking like this?"

"He killed me...and then Y/N brought me back. " Jungkook mouthed staring at his stomach where the knife would have been if I didn't turn the clock back.

"WHAT?!" Jimin shrieked. "Bro this is serious. No time for jokes." But he wasn't joking. His face was shaken and it was clear he had remembered everything.

"I'm not lying. I can't rest until I know we're all safe from him" He looked intensely out the window scanning the streets. There was no sign of him running up the street this time though.

We made it to the police station and start telling our story--without the time travel part of course. I never got a head ache during the conversation and I had a sense of justice and motivation pushing every word out of my mouth.

"and he had pictures of her absolutely everywhere." I continued telling my side of the story.

Tiffany was called down to the station for questioning as well. She showed the threatening messages she receive on her phone and explained how he working at the same company as her and was her assistant, but he was always making staff uncomfortable. She went on and on about how terrible of a person he was at work during her side, but I couldn't help but wonder if she was was more involved in this situation than she let on.

Then, much to our surprise a cop car was pulling up with James handcuffed in the back seat. His giant eyes widened and the his body started shaking out of rage. "No No NO!" he screamed. "This can't be happening. Where is she? Where is that time traveling Brat?"

"Alright alright, you have the right to remain silent Mr. Evil. What a unique last name you have you know" The officer remarked taking him out of the car.

The other officer turned towards us. "We are going to need you all to come back on another day to get more statements and evidence, but you should all be fine to go for now. Besides, you two will need to get a medical check up right away. Worry about your health as the first order of business."

"We will be in touch. Thank you so much for your help." I said giving a head nod goodbye.

[A few days later while back at school]

"So you really think you lost your ability to time travel after that?" Marie asked me while we were studying together in my room. A chemistry book and piles of paper notes were neatly spread across my desk. This chemistry exam is not going to pass itself.

"Hmm, definitely. I can feel that it's gone. Like a weight is lifted. I'm not exactly sure how it worked, but I think I must have used the last of my power and I believe I had learned to use it as I was meant to. And now that it has been fulfilled, maybe the time travel ability will get passed onto someone else who will need it" I nod looking up from my book and drinking a cup of milk.

"Does that upset you?" She asked. "I mean you have lived your whole life with that power. Wasn't that part of your identity?"

"I'll be okay. We all survived and we've got each other and that's all I can ask for. Now we just have to keep moving forward. Besides, it was a dangerous power. And losing it made me realize how precious every moment is. I need to do my best in every second to work to create the best future possible for the me and the people I care about. I've got the best support system in the world. And now it's up to me to protect those people through honest and hard work! It'll take some growing and learning, but anything is possible."

"That's the positive spirit I know" Jungkook smiled looking up from his music assignment. he patted my head from the chair next to me. "We'll do our best to cherish the people around us and work hard to achieve our dreams!"

Marie closed her book for her next week's book club. "It sounds like James is getting locked up forever, so you two won't ever have to worry about him again either."

"Good riddance" Jungkook remarked.

"And Tiffany is transferring schools to California, after the news report came out she blew up on social media and now she's auditioning for a movie about a self driving car down there. It's surprising how much publicity her career got."

"You really are on top of all the tea" I chimed in between chemistry pages.

"Jess, your friend group, and I are also doing good. I'm starting a new bakery with Jimin I'm really excited about. Jess is got a new chow chow pup. Things seemed to have worked out much better than I thought they would. Jungkook's friends are also starting to launch their music careers in their past time. I wonder how that'll turn out. You know, maybe we can all write a book about this experience. The plot is pretty unbelievable. I bet people would love to hear about it" Marie continued.

"What would we call it?" Jungkook asked.

"Perfect Timing!" I shout! "
