Chapter 21: Strange Kids
From this part on, this story will not be based on the game episodes since those were finished in the last chapter, the very depressing ending on that one almost killed me. Poor Emmett. Without further ado, let's continue the story with what I think should happen from now on
Your POV
I got out of the car rather quickly as I walked inside. I thought about what Emmett had said the entire way home. Why would he want me? Do I want him? I don't know what to do! I heard Doc and Marty come up from the DeLorean as went inside. I had let my hair down as it covered my face. Marty tried to get my attention and I shook my head. "I'm going to shower" I said as I walked to the bathroom after getting a spare bag that I always keep here. I grabbed the clothes I wanted and got dressed as I leaned on the wall, the hot water beating down at me.
I sighed shakily as I remembered how broken hearted Emmett looked as I had to leave. What if I stayed there with him? Could I have even stayed? Would that mess up the timeline? What would happen to Emmett and I, would we have gotten married? I bit my lip as I watched the water go down the drain. I felt my eyes water as I stood there. I hated crying and it was something I never really did around Marty and Doc, but the shower was loud enough.
Marty's POV
I looked over at Doc as he was sitting in his chair. He was staring off into space. I could hear the water running as (y/n) was in the shower. I tilted my head before I walked over. "What's going on with you, Doc?" I asked. He shook his head and waved me off. I followed him into the garage as he pulled the DeLorean in earlier. "Doc, come on talk to me!" I said. He looked at me and sighed deeply before he rubbed his face.
"You saw the way my younger self looked at (y/n)." he said and I nodded slowly. "What did you tell her at the gazebo?" I asked as I leaned on the table. He looked down for a second. "I wanted to give her the picture of us at the expo. You know the one they took before we did the demo" he said. I nodded and he sighed. "She wouldn't take it. She told me to keep it because neither of us knew when we would have seen each other again. So then after I honked the horn on the DeLorean and we parted ways I walked home."
I nodded "Your younger self liked her didn't you?" I asked. He nodded slowly. I sighed gently and looked at him. "Then what are you doing out here sulking? Go talk to her!" I said. He hummed slowly. "I can't Marty, you two may not have aged but I did." I watched as he rubbed his face a little. I stopped and we looked at each other as we went back into the living room where we could hear the water in the shower.
I looked to Doc as I looked at him. "Is she? Crying?" I asked and he sat down in his chair again. We heard that the water turned off and a sigh as she got out of the bathroom. I sat on the couch and tilted my head towards her as she stood in the hallway.
Your POV
I looked at the two as they were staring at each other. I knew that they could hear. Damn! You should have waited until after you got home, your dad wouldn't have given a damn if you cried! But no you had to be an idiot and do it here when the two people in the entire world actually give a damn about what you're going through! I looked at the hardwood floor before I felt hands and I was pulled into a chest.
I sighed deeply as I noticed that it was Doc. He put his chin on my head as he hugged me. I hugged back slowly and tightly as we stood there. He rubbed my back. "I'm sorry for what I did when I was younger. My teenage self shouldn't have met you in time square." he said. I shrugged and looked at him for a moment. I shook my head and sighed deeply. "Don't worry about it, Doc. You were young. Not everyone has the smartest of decisions when their teens. That's how we learn. Trial and error." I said
He hugged me tighter as we stood there. I buried my face into his chest for a bit before I let go. "I don't know about you, but I'm starving." I said and he nodded before I walked to the kitchen. I heard him and Marty talking in the living room as I cooked. I listened in a little before I got lost in my own thoughts about Emmett. I thought about how from before all of this happened Doc was with Clara and had two sons Jules and Verne. I haven't heard him mention anything about any of them since we got back from 1931. I don't think Doc went back to 1885 and met Clara. I rubbed my face before I went back into the living room. "What's the name of the ravine that's over by the bridge for the train?" I asked.
Marty looked at me confused at what I was getting at before Doc answered. "Clayton Ravine? What about it?" he asked as he glanced over from his newspaper before he looked back to it and shook his head. "You two are so strange. I think all of this time travel has messed with you two." he said as he looked at the newspaper. Marty looked at me and followed me into the kitchen. "You're thinking what I'm thinking right?" he asked.
I nodded. "We never went back to 1885, Doc never saved Clara, they never met and fell in love and he never had the boys. What do we do? Can we go back and tell Emmett?" I asked. He shook his head and smiled. "If Doc isn't married then you two can be together." he said as he tilted his head a little. My breath got caught in my throat. As much as I hated to say it, Marty Mcfly was right.
