adam and i were still holding hands.

i couldn't let go of him.

it felt like he was the only thing holding me to this reality.

"jets not reading me because of my vitals. i'll need your dna to start her up. when we get to altitude, the bio stop will come down, and then i can take over. we have to move fast, or they'll be on us before we can jump to 2018." older adam instructed.

"wait, what? i'm not coming with you." adam said.

"yes, you are. let's go, we need to go."

"will you stop and listen to me? this is my fixed time. you already had my childhood. you had adventures, you flew planes, and i'm still the nerd with an inhaler who gets his ass kicked! i want the rest of it, and i'm not leaving cherry behind!"

"you want the rest of it?"

"yeah!"

older adam stood up.

"okay, here's the the rest of it. dads death screws you up more than you ever realize. you get depressed. you get angry. you wander around high school without making a social dent." older adam stared right her at his younger self.
