STING [kellic]

Chapter 3

[{ lOoK AT THIS SMOL BEAN }]

I could have stopped this, there must be something I could have done to help. God if only I had known that van was coming, I would have stopped it. If only I could go back...

And with that thought everything felt different. I didn't feel his head resting in my lap, I was sitting in a different position. Once again everything was quiet, the air was still and crisp. I opened my eyes to find I was back on the swings in the park again. What the... What the hell just happened?

I pulled out my phone. 11:21. Wait, that meant I have time to go save that guy. If there even was a guy, maybe I just spaced out and imagined that whole thing. I don't care, there is no way im gonna risk it. Without even letting my brain realize what had just happened, I jumped up and started running to where I first seen him.

When I got there it was 11:24. I frantically looked all around me waiting for his figure to appear somewhere. Finally I saw him walk into view. I sprinted toward him, praying to the gods that I could get to him before the van did.

"Hey!" I shouted

He stopped about 10 feet from the side of the street, and turned around to look at me.

"Watch out!" I screamed, still running towards him.

It was then that I could hear the car again, and the headlights appeared behind him. Right as the van got to the curb, I ran up to him and grabbed him by his shoulders, pulling him into a sort of alleyway. I heard the gunshot go off as the vehicle drove away at its fast speed. I looked at the man that was now pinned between me and the side of the building we had been hidden by.

His hands tightly gripped my hips and my hands were still latched onto both his shoulders. He looked frazzled, but it was nothing compared to how he looked the first time this all played out. For the first time this night, I finally heard him talk

"How the hell did you just do that?" He asked, his voice wavering

"I... Im not really sure yet" I said while looking down at my feet

When I looked back to his face he seemed extremely confused

"Honestly you'd think im insane if I told you." I said giving him a serious look

"Try me" He said matching my expression

"It's kind of a long story"

"I've got time."

God damn he was determined

"Uh, well okay, you win"

We were still in the same position as before, so I took it as an opportunity to detach ourselves and lean back against the wall next to him.

"I saw you die" I said bluntly

"You what now?"

"I saw you die. I watched you get shot, I tried to help and failed, and then you died in my arms..."

"What are you talking about you saved me"

"Yeah this time I did, but not the first time"

"First time?"

"Okay, I was walking home from the park when I saw you walking ahead of me, and then the van drove by and you got shot you in the stomach, and I tried to help, I really did, but nothing was helping. And then you... yea, and I just sat there thinking about how I could have stopped it and suddenly there I was back at the park with a few minutes till the time you had been shot, so I ran and did what I did, and now here we are." I tried explained

"Woah... So you like saw this all before?"

"Yea, I mean I guess... Im still not really sure what happened"

"Well" He started slowly "That's kinda cool man, you have like a power or something."

"Wait, you believe me?"

"Yeah I mean, I have no reason not too" He said "Oh, and thank you, by the way. For what you did. That was really heroic of you"

I nodded, looking towards him

"I still don't even know your name" He said

"Kellin" I said softly. I looked towards him to see him smiling at me.

"What's yours?" I asked

"Vic, Vic Fuentes" He said

Hmm, Vic. I like that.

Nervous under his gaze, I looked down again and put my hands in my pockets only to find there was something in them. I wrapped my hand around the object and pulled it out to look at it.

A poptart.

I forgot I had put that there... Instead of continuing to just stare at it, I pulled it out of the foil, crumpling that up and placing it back in my pocket. I split the poptart in half, holding one half out to Vic. He gave me a look, as if studying me, but shrugged and took it anyways.

As we both sat there eating in silence, I thought about everything that had happened today. Maybe this would finally be the start of something exciting in my life...
