Lost in time.

Chapter 8:

Time, what is time really? No one knows exactly, but we are so caught up in our own little worlds, following what we know and grew up with that we don't realize we are wasting time. We aren't brave enough to take a leap and change our routine, our daily life style so we are stuck in this world we call our life. It's wrong and sad at the same time, we as a human race need to get out of our bubble we call our comfort zone and try something else, something we won't normally do.

"why?" that is my first question to him.

"Well to be really honest with you when I first started jumping, I just did it for the fun of it to see what it was all about. But when I met your grandparent they taught me that jumping isn't about just having fun. It's about jumping back and helping, helping the people that are suffering or ill. We do it to change a single persons life and that feeling you get while helping someone, knowing that you might just have saved their life or gave them a chance for a better future, that is the reason why we do it." he told me and I am blown away.

I would have never thought... My grandparent have been jumping for longer then I can imagine and to think they did it to help the people in need.

"But how is that possible to help someone in the past? how does that benefit anyone in the future?" I ask him because surely that doesn't make any sense.

He sit down across from me with a big smile. "It changes a lot, it changes the person and his or her future, that means the future for his or her family looks brighter. It works in a circle what comes around goes around." he told me.

I guess what he says is true, it makes sense. Does this mean I need to carry on with this? Will Elijah help me and do this with me?

"Any other questions?" he breaks my train of thoughts. I look up at him to see he is staring right at me with a grin on his face. His hand moves to pull his hair back and I admired his strong jaw line and oh my I must say it looks beautiful.

I felt my cheeks heat up when I realized I was staring at him blankly with no shame at all.

"Oh yes sorry... uhm... does this mean I need to carry on with this, I mean jumping?" I ask him looking down and playing with my fingers.

"That depends on you. Your grandparent asked me to be here by your side when you decide you want to carry on with it. But I know for a fact that they would have wanted you to do this, and I am here to help you I am not going anywhere." he told me

The words he spoke made me feel at ease, knowing that if I go ahead with this he will be here helping, teaching, guiding me.

"I want to do this, no I need to do this my grandparents left me this. So yes I will do this?" I tell him.

"Great" He smiles and gets up. "We will start tomorrow then." he assures me.

"Alright then I can't wait." I get up and get all my things together I need to get some well deserved sleep.

"Are you going to lock up?" he asks me while walking to the door.

"Yes I am, see you tomorrow then." I waved at him and switched of the lights.

I am excited to start tomorrow, I want to learn everything there is, I want to learn the art of jumping.

I locked the door and went to my car, I got in and placed my handbag behind my seat like I do everyday and turned on the ignition. It was already pitch black outside and the clock on my dash shows 23:13 pm to my surprise. Switching on my light I reversed out of the parking spot and headed home.

I was in such a daze, my mind was everywhere. I was not concentrating on the road ahead of me and before I knew it all I heard was a hooter and then a huge BANG!

Opening my eyes I realized what just happened, I tried to get out but my legs were pinned and I couldn't move. I had to see if the other person was okay, what the damage was but everything started spinning and the last thing I heard was "ma'am are you alright"

And everything went black...
