Heart Breaker and The Boy (Number 5 x reader)

Chapter 3

(Y/N) POV

     Five and I had been talking all night about how he could time travel, I still didn't really believe him. It just didn't seem plausible, time travel was just in the movies. 

"(Y/N) why will you not believe me?" Five asked throwing his arms up with still a hint of annoyance in his voice. 

"I don't know if I can believe you, it just doesn't seem likely," I respond crossing my arms.

"You can literally change any one's hearts desires and pretty much do whatever you wanted without consequences, what is so hard to believe about time travel?" He replied his voice slowly getting louder. "Once I figure out how to do this you could time travel too. We could go to the future and get out of this shit hole."

"Five even if it was possible I wouldn't do it, it's too risky, one thing could go wrong and we'd screw everything up, second of all even if I could time travel I could probably do it once before I lose consciousness," I reply getting more and more agitated. "Just drop it, I don't really wanna talk about it anymore." I stand up and walk out of my room and go down to the kitchen for a glass of water, as I walk down I realize Mom is making breakfast.

"Good morning (y/n), why are you up so early?" she asks. I just shrug, I didn't want to be rude I just didn't want to talk about it. I grab a glass of water and help Mom cook. As she was finishing I set the table and went and cleaned myself up. I then walked to the table and stood behind my chair right across from Five. He just looked at me and I just looked over at Ben who was reading a book. I tried to figure out what book he was reading but as soon as I saw the cover Dad came down. 

"Sit!" He said with a very firm voice. As we sit down there is an oddly comforting silence, and I finally glance back at Number 5 who seems even angrier than he was the night before. He looked at me then looked back at our dad, grabbed his knife and stabbed it into the table. I just look at him like he has gone crazy.

"Number 5?" The old man asked.

"I have a question." He responded.

"Knowledge is an admirable goal, but you know the rules. No talking during mealtimes. You are interrupting Herr Carlson." Our father replied.

"I want to time travel." Five pushes. I look at him and roll my eyes, and just place my head in my hands.

"No."

"But I'm ready. I've been practicing my spacial jumps just like you said," He stands up from his chair and jumps behind our dear old dad, "See?"

"A spacial jump is trivial when compared with the unknowns of time travel. One is like sliding along the ice, the other is akin to descending blindly into the depths of the freezing water and reappearing as an acorn." the elder adds.

"I don't get it."

"Hence the reason you're not ready." I just look at him and shake my head.

"I'm not afraid."

"Fear isn't the issue. The effects it might have on your body, even on your mind, are far too unpredictable. Now, I forbid you to talk about this anymore." There is a pause. Then Number 5 runs out, me not too far behind him.

"Number 5, Number 8! You have not been excused! Get back here!" He screamed. As I trail behind him he yells to me.

"I told you I could, you didn't believe me. Why couldn't you believe me?" He said as he ran away and disappeared. I started running that way too and changed my heart's desire but it was too much to pressure to put on myself. I traveled 43 minutes into the future and when I came back everything was different. I was sitting exactly where I had jumped but there was a pain in my chest as if something had just shattered and I tried to use my powers to spacial jump home but they didn't work, nothing seemed to work. I finally had the strength to walk back home which wasn't very far at all but it felt like it was miles away. I get to the front door and I knock on the door and I just collapsed.
