Tim Curry: back in time

A place to live

(There will be P.O.Vs in this chapter. I won't do that often but because you're going to split up, it would make sense but anyway)

Jolene's P.O.V

Annie and I cut through a whole group of people to get to the other part of the house. But suddenly I spotted something.
The group of people me and Annie cut through were clustered around something or someone. I was hopping over people's heads to see what they were gathering around and for a split second; I saw some random guy. He looked like a dick. Not interested.

Annie and I continued wandering around asking people questions and hoping they won't think me and Annie are completely insane. I hear a voice call out my name. It sounds robotic. The voice calls out some more. I listen to the unusual voice and it's coming from the bathroom. Annie and I enter to find out the voice.

I see a tape recorder on the counter where the sink is. It's a recording. How extraordinary. The voice says "Jolene press next" over and over. The person who had put the recorder in the bathroom obviously had set this up. Annie is just sitting at the edge of the bathtub crying. She cries over everything. It's not a big deal. I press next so I can search for answers.

"Hello, you must be very confused about what is happening. I can explain and help you to get back to the present day. I am in the middle of a large group of people. If you get to me and tap me on the shoulder saying 2018. I'll know it's you and I'll help. Take this recorder to make sure nobody will hear this recording."

How smart to put tape recorder in a bathroom during a big party to make sure no one hears it. Annie stops crying and straightens herself out she takes the recorder and storms out. I don't know why Annie has these mood swings, but she does and when she's angry she gets scary and I mean SCARY.

One time she almost killed me with a broken leg of a wooden chair. It's a long story. But I'll sum it up. She's insane that's it but she has my back and I love her like a sister so there is nothing I can do but she is completely insane.

I turned around to follow Annie to where ever she was going. Annie was pushing random people side to side so she could get through. Once she got to the big group to where apparently the man who is going to help us is. I just stopped following her just to see what she was going to do. I couldn't hear what she was saying, but I saw her tap him on the shoulder and say something so hopefully, she didn't mess up.

The man says something to her. Something good I hope. Annie points at me and he responds with a nod. Annie and the man start to make their way to me. The man didn't look like anything special. He was wearing brown slacks and yet again what everyone else was wearing. An eyesore of a Christmas sweater.

The man was wearing the same kind of glasses a paedophile would wear. His hair didn't help his cause. He had a combover and a pornstache.

Annie and the man finally get to me and the man puts his hand out to shake my hand. I shake his hand because pretty much at this point I don't have a choice.

"The name's Harold, Harold Lockheart." The man says "So I can fix your problem you and your friends are having but it might take a while. Maybe a day, a week, a month, a year, or it will never be fixed so then you'll have to wait 47 years to get back to your normal timeline"

"How are we here?" I ask

"Oh that's an easy question, so the reasoning behind that is because well my wife is alive in the 70's but when she died in 1997 I wanted to see her again. So I made a wormhole portal that transports you to different time periods. But the thing is, the wormholes are closets. Your friend lives in the same building I do and I miscalculated the closet so it ended up in your friends closet.

"But why did you have to put a wormhole?' Annie asked

"Because when my wife dies in 1997 I have to redo the whole process. Every time I redo the process I bring enough materials to go back to 2018 and get more. I can't get the materials here because the future has higher technology than the 70's has. The problem is I didn't bring enough materials so I might need to steal some military grade materials to make the wormhole to get you back home."

"But, Where will we be living in the meantime?" I asked Harold

"Ah, yes. You will be living with my wife Janet and I. I am a science professor at a university so just say you are exchange students I am taking under my wing who don't have a place to go. You are able to keep your real names but you need to get jobs just in case you won't be able to get back home. You will be obeying my rules as if I was your parent. I don't care how old you are, you won't disobey me. If you aren't able to get back home then you won't be able to age for 47 years until 2018. So that means you might be 64 but you look way younger. Tomorrow you will go shopping with Janet to get yourselves some clothing. But I think that is all you need to know"

Harold finally finishes his long explanation

"We will be leaving the party soon, so go get your other friend and say your goodbyes. Now, do I make myself clear girls?" Harold asks

"Yes Harold" Annie and I say in unison

What an asshole. We walk away from Harold to try and find where y/n is. After a couple of minutes, we see her talking to some curly haired man who seems familiar which makes no sense because I shouldn't think anyone here is familiar because I wasn't born near this time period. I went to go get y/n but then I noticed that she kissed the man that she was talking to.
