Going back on time

Stabbed

July 24, 12:10PM

It all came back to me, I can't believe that a name could possibly take them all back on my mind, I took a deep breath and looked at the man.

"You're Dave, Amelia's husband." I said,

I also realized that he was the man watching me when I was working, I started to tear up a little.

"Believe me Dave, I never wanted to murder her." I said,

"But you did." He said,

"What is he talking about Hailey?" Claire asked,

"Go ahead, tell her." Dave said,

"If you don't tell her, then I will." Dave said,

I still didn't spoke so Dave laughed.

"Okay, I'll tell you." Dave said,

"When Jane Lim was twelve, her father was found trying to murder a woman, he was captured at this house, her father started to blame her and she saw this sharpened knife, she didn't think twice and she stabbed his father thrice, she escaped from the police and it was hard to find her but here comes my wife, she saw Jane Lim, she tried stopping her but Jane Lim stabbed her." Dave continued,

"Why are you talking about Jane Lim?" Claire asked,

"Do you want to tell her?" Dave asked,

"Tell me what?" Claire asked,

I finally found my voice and spoke.

"I'm sorry Claire but... I have been lying to you the whole time."

"What lie?" She asked,

"I lied about Jane Lim."

"What about her?"

"She's me, Claire."

Jake's POV

I was done fixing my friend's car, I sat down until I saw the envelope that Hailey gave me, I smiled and took it, I opened it curiously to what would be here, then I saw a paper, it was folded quadraple times, I unfolded it and started reading.

"Hey Jake, you might realize why I'm giving you a card and why I'm acting strange today, I know you'll be mad at me after you read this letter, it's actually because I might never come back, well maybe I might leave this world today, well all I know is you might find someone better than me, And I hope you become happy, goodbye Jake, and 143.

                                               -J.L"

Lots of thoughts came to my mind.

"Why would I be mad at her? What did she meant that she might never come back? And what does leaving this world means? What does 143 means? And why did she wrote J.L instead of Hailey?"

I took my drink and watched T.V, and the very news that showed was about a girl missing and they're suspecting Jane Lim, when her name was written, I spat out my drink, and I realized what the J.L meant now, the news also told that she had to go to her old house.

"I guess, I'll have to change."

Hailey's POV

"What?" Claire said,

"I'm sorry, but it's true." I said,

"But, how?"

"Do you want-?" Dave said,

"Would you shut up and let me talk to her!" I interrupted him,

"Claire, I am Jane Lim, I didn't told you the truth because if I do, you'll live the same way I did when I was twelve." I said,

"What life did you live when you were twelve?" Claire asked,

"I lived miserably, Claire, you know that hiding from the police, acting to be Hailey West."

"I thought we weren't supposed to hide secrets from each other?"

"But this one could ruin your life."

"Hailey, I'm sorry but my life is ruined already."

"What do you mean?"

"I've killed three people, and you never knew because I thought you'd hate me if I tell you, and I thought you might turn me in to the Police."

"So."

"Enough!" Dave said,

"You killed my wife, Jane, and it'll be better if you realize what you did to my wife." He continued,

"I told you, I didn't mean to do it." I said,

"You killed her, you were scared that she might tell the Police so you just stabbed her."

"I told you I didn't want to."

"Oh yeah, well it'll be better if we travel time."

"Mark, can I borrow your timeball?"

Mark gave me the ball, and I rubbed it, the basement started to become wobbly.

"What's happening?" Claire asked,

"You're about to experience time travel." I responded,

"Would you atleast let her go from the chair?" I asked,

Dave started untying her hands and legs, now I thought about that night, then the time stopped but Police cars appeared and the people that night, they all were in the position, I saw my father lying in a bed at the ambulance, we started walking to where I accidentally stabbed Amelia, we saw myself accidentally stabbed her.

"I told you, you stabbed her." Dave said,

"Shush, if myself sees me everything will be a mess." I said,

"Then let's go back."

I clicked the red button twice, we went back to the basement, and Dave pointed the gun at me.

"I guess it's time to pull the trigger."
