Square One

What the... why is the sun so bright this early early in the morning, did I forgot to draw the curtains last night? Eh what's with the alarm clock? I didn't set it, heck I'm on a miserable vacation cause I need to attend my best friend's wedding. "Heath, sweetie wake up, you're gonna be late." A woman's voice said. "It's already 6:00 am, you're gonna be late." She reapeat. "Fuck off woman, who wakes up this early? Besides, I'm on vacation so fucking leave me be..." The next thing I knew, I was kicked out of my bed. "Aw! What the... " I looked at the woman who dared to disturb me. "Mom? Mom, what are you doing here?" I asked her and ahe still look at me with fury. "Well young man, I'm here because this is my house, and I'm waking you up cause, you'll be late for school, again." She threw a pillow at my face. "Home, school, what's happening?" I turned to my right and in front of me is a mirror and, I was shook with what I saw. "No way, wait I'm back! I'm back to the seventeen year old me!" I continue staring at the mirror carefully scanning myself. "No way this can't be, no no no I'm just dreaming." I hear my mother speak but, I unconsciously ignore her. "Relax Heath, anytime now, you'll wake up. Everything will go back to normal." I told myself. "What's wrong with you Heath, are you hallucinating?" My mom move towards me and check if I'm sick or something. "God, you've got fever! That's why you're acting strange." She told me. "Go back to bed, I'll call your university and tell them that you're sick today." She said then left.

"What did I do to go back in the past?" The weird e-mail yes, that's it. I hurriedly opened my computer and check my e-mails and it wasn't there. Of course it wasn't there, it hasn't been sent yet. "One e-mail received." My computer screen told me. I checked it and it read. "Congratulations, our product worked! If you are confused or if you have any questions, click the link to get customer service assistance." I clicked the link but, nothing happened. "Fuck! What the hell is going on? It is all that ghost's fault damn it!" I screamed. "How many times that I told you I'm not a ghost." Someone spoke. "Shut the Ff... You, you did this to me!" I told the ghost. "Bring me back to the present!" I demanded. "You read the terms before you clicked the button right? Once you avail our services, no returns." He explained. "I was just drunk, I'm not myself when I did it!" I argued. "Still, no returns." He said. "What should I do now?" I asked him desperately. "Hmm... well, you can choose the same path that will lead to the same future or choose totally different a outcome." He said. "I doubt the first option tho because, you're supposed to be at school today and at this exact moment, a major event on your life is supposed to be happening. Oops there it goes, you're gonna have a totally different future now." I heard him blabber. Major event, what's he talking about? It's just another school day wait. I checked my yaoi themed calendar on my table and scanned for today's date. Today is the day that Avery Miles ask me to help him court Clay. "Hey, does this mean Avery and Clay will not get... married?" And with that, Mr. ghost is gone, again.

It's been three days, three days had passed since my fate was changed. I had to skip school because, I was sick and also can't believe the fact that I'm back to four years ago. I'm nervous on seeing either Avery ot Clay, what if theu hate me worse, they both hate me? "Delete, delete delete, think positive Heath, no one hates you." I told myself. "You.." I heard someone said, I tried to find who said it and it's Avery. He looked at me like he's going to kill me, I was so scared of him I can't moved my body for a moment. As he walk closer to me, I feel panic surge throughout my body I ran as if I never run before. And with that, I lost Avery. My day went on avoiding Avery, I walked through the halls carefully checking every turn before I take them. "Hey..." Someone touched my shoulder. "What the fluffy sheep?! Please don't kill me." I screamed at the top of my lungs. "What's with you?" It was Clay. "What did you do to Avery to make him wanna kill me?" I asked him. "Eh, what?" He's confused. "I mean I met him this morning and he was very upset with me and, I'm not even here for three days!" I ranted. "Oh, he really didn't took it too well." Clay said and I become more curious. "I rejected him, for you." He said. "Oh okay... fuck you did what?" I asked. "What do you mean?" I hold on to his shoulders as I shake him. "I told him that, I can't let him court me because, you're inlove with him and I can't hurt you." Clay explained. "I know, I'm such a good friend." He grinned at me. "Yeah but, you kinda set him on a murder chase with me." I said. "Don't worry, I'll protect you from him, I'll tell him to spare you." Clay then, smiled at me.

I hang out with Clay all day just because, the thought that Avery won't approach Clay will save me from my demise. Somehow, I missed being with Clay all the time, I lost him when him and Avery started dating on the alter reality that I've been through before this, uhm mess. I know this sound so twisted but, I'm happy this happened, I'm happy that I have anither chance on being with Clay before I lose him to someone. "Hey you, what are you smiling about?" Clay said while snaping his fingers im front of me to break my trance. "Uhm, I'm just happy that you're here with me." I honestly told him. "Hey, stop being so cheesy. Normally, you're always annoyed of me and now, you're sweet talking me." He said while he playfully punch my arm. "I just want you yo know." I plainly answered him. "Stop, I'm not used to this, go back to being annoyed of me." Clayton said and we both laughed on our own.

Everything went smooth here in the university today. We had quizzes and, they're really tough. I'm glad that I am ahead of my time now, maybe I'll get better grades in my second college life. I haven't seen Avery the whole day too, eh the way he looked at me send chills all over my body. Well technically it's nit my fault but, it kinda is because, I'm supposed to help him for him to have his happy ending. I feel kinda guilty because, it felt like I took they're future lives from them. I sighed so deep that even Clay lift his head from his misery because, he don't yhink he would pass the quizzes that we had. "What's wrong, is there something that's bothering you?" He asked me. "Nothing, I'm just as worried as you." I said and he smiled. He decided to sit up and put his arm around my shoulder. Knowing that it's just about the quizzes, he comfort and cheer me up like he always do. I feel like crying at the moment because, I feel more guilty about what I did to him. We just sat there for a few hours just, talking about things. I pushed my bad thoughts at the back of my head and, try to enjoy the time I have with Clay.

We spent our free time hanging out in front of our faculty building, we were just talking about stuff and things that might happen. "You know, you might marry Avery in the future right?" I joked around. "Nope, nit gonna happen." He said as if he knew that it won't happen. "How did you know?" I asked him. "I got my eye on somebody else and, I'm gonna make him my wife." He said. "Who is it? Tell me!" I demanded. "You'll know soon enough." Was all he said. We walked through the field on our way going home and, we are now in front of the College of Business building. "Uhm, wait for me here. I need to use the restroom." I told Clayton and he just nodded. I ran as fast as I can cause, I can't hold it any longer. I'm just glad that nobody's around using the toilet that I went in to. "Gotta pee, gotta pee, gotta pee..." I sang as I go inside one of the cubicles. Yep, I use cubicles for peeing over urinals, I dunno, urinals always feel so uncomfortable to me. I washed my hands and now drying them, when someone grabbed me from behined, pinned me to the wall and covered my mouth. It was Avery and he really looked so pissed at me. "Surprised? Yes, I've been following you and Clayton all day." He said. I tried to squirm my way out and shout but, he's too strong I didn't even make a sound. "Shhh, shh I won't hurt you but, if you know what's good for you, you'll help me get Clayton, understood?" He asked and I nodded. "Good boy, see me at the library at 7:00am sharp. Now here's your reward." He removed his hand from my mouth and he licked my lips then, leave. I felt my knees weaken as I slide down from the wall to the ground. I feel my eyes start to water so I, wiped them swiftly. I collected myself and get out of the restroom to meet Clayton. "What took you so long?" Clayton asked but, I'm too busy with my thoughts I didn't answer him. "What happened to you? You look like you've seen a ghost." He asked as he scan me. "I'm okay, I just felt a little dizzy that's all." I lied and with that, Clayton and I went home.

I've been rolling on my bed because I can't sleep with what happened. How could Avery turn into that person? He used to be cool and kind now, he's scary as FUCK. I continue on rolling around my bed till I decided to tire myself to sleep. Ive been running around my bed, doing sit ups, push ups and even jumping jacks. No matter how tired I am, my brain is still keeping me awake. "AH, GODDAMMIT!!!" I screamed because, I just can't go to sleep. "Huh, I guess I won't be sleeping tonight then." I whispered to myself, I jumped on my bed lying flat on my stomach still thinking about what happened. "Should I see him or, should I avoid him again?" I asked and I burried my face on my pillow. "Ugh, I can't face him. If I see him he mighy do that to me again, my heart can't take it." I told myself. "Yeah I will be avoiding him no matter what happened. If he catch me, well he better kill me rather than play me like that." What should I do, damn, he tastes so good tho. The way he licked my lips really turns me on. I thought to myself as I'm touching my lips. This is nuts, he likes Clay, he wants Clay but, why would he do that with me? "Aw, this is so confusing, why are you doing this to me Avery Miles!" I whisper shout. "And I've been a good friend to you to in that alternate reality where I came from!" I complained even more. I stayed like that for hours until I finally fell asleep.
