Chapter 6

Six Years Earlier ~~

I opened my eyes and I sensed someone's presence.

I groaned and my mind drifted to the courtroom.

"Why was I here?" I thought inwardly and stood up to examine the house then Damon came in.

I stared at him in surprise and amusement. "Why are you here?" I asked. I was confused. He was dead, and I was poisoned, so why am I here with him?

"Could he be a ghost?" I thought briefly as my gaze zeroed on him walking towards me; he raised his hand to touch my face but immediately felt disgusted that I turned my face away from his hand.

"What's wrong with you, Harlow? I thought we were already cool last night?" I heard him say something, which made me look at him, wondering what he meant by we were cool last night. I could remember I was in the cell, so how are we cool?

I tried touching his face but immediately hung my hands in the air due to the hatred I felt towards him.

"What happened last night?" I asked him while sitting up on the bed.

"Do you rant me to say that again,? BecauseI don't want it to break your heart, Harlow," He said while avoiding my gaze,but who cares if it breaks my heart when he has already shattered my heart into pieces.?

"B..ec.se, I changed my house password and made you stay outside in the cold for a long time for a long time," He said which instantly took my mind to 2018, as I could remember an incident like this happened but could it be a coincidence? He tried dampening my face with a wet towel but my mind was already clouded with different thoughts that were just going through my head.

"Why did you do that?" I asked him.

"My mother changed the password to her date of birth,; Ihope you can understand that, baby," Damon said, leaving me in shock,; thatwwerethe exact words he said then. He said his mother changed his password to her date of birth. Whereas my date of birth was the one he had been using, but it suddenly got changed, leaving me stranded then.

I couldn't believe the same thing was happening in a role and immediately stood up from the bed to get some water to calm my nerves. Along the way, I saw a drug on the table.

My gaze instantly flew to the date and year on it, I couldn't believe it. The year on it was 2018. I was confused for a moment due to the shock. I seemed to be going crazy.

"Could the poison I was given at the court have side effects that are affecting my brain and eyes?" I thought as the drug fell off my hand.

"Damon, what year are we?" I asked Damon eagerly with a look of desperation. I could see the surprised look on his face,; hemust have Wwonderedwhy I called him his name when I only called him baby.

"What are you saying, baby? We're in the year of 2018. Is something wrong?" He asked me but I already collapsed in shock.

Confusion and shock wwerean understatement at that moment,.I couldn't even think straight anymore,but the only thing I could think of was Damon playing jokes on me.

"Stop the fucking jokes, Damon!" I screamed at him in a fierce tone; I'm pretty sure he hasn't seen that fierce side of me, but who cares?

"But I'm not joking, baby," He said, his voice bearing a whisper and just being called baby by him seemed to add to my disgust. My expression literd sour with disgust..

"Give me your cell phone," I asked him, and I could see his expression changed dramatically, but I wasn't surprised. But what I was surprised about was when he started cheating to the stage of cheating with my best friend.

"What's wrong, Harlow? Why do you want my cell phone?" He asked me but, I ignored his question loo,king around with the aim of seeing something that I can could to check datedates years.

I sighted a phone lying on the sofa, I quickly ran and picked it up but to my surprise it was the old model that I was using then around 2018. I couldn't believe my eyes. I turned it on immediately and I knew it was absolutely over for me, yes, the picture I snapped with Damon when we traveled out around 2018.

Everything was just revolving around 2018. When I could remember, it was 2024.

"Could I be running mad?" I thought to myself, looking more and more confused than ever. I finally checked the date and year, it was 19, 2018 written boldly on it, my eyes almost popped out of socket.

Everything was too much for me which got my head spinning that I didn't know when I collapsed on the nearest couch near me... The only sound I could remember was the demon voice screaming, my vision was already getting blur but see Damon though my vision was already blur.

"Everything will be back to normal," I thought inwardly before drifting off to God knows.

THREE DAYS LATER

The ray of the sun glittering through the window reflected on my face; My gaze went to the old-looking ceiling. I knew I wasn't in my room the moment I saw the design of the room, it was looking familiar but I couldn't think straight at that moment.

I yawned tiredly before dragging myself out of the bed. God knows, everything was looking familiar to me. I was pretty confident that I had stayed here a couple of times...

"Anyone here?" I called out but heard no response, I continued walking till I finally got to the sitting room, I recognized it immediately. It was Damon's house...

The incident started flowing into my head as I woke up to 2018 all of a sudden while I was given the poison... The point made me dead but I found myself in 2018 instead of 2014. I was still trying to figure out everything when I heard a sound in a particular direction.

I followed the sound and it led me to the kitchen where I saw Damon and my best friend Sylvia cooking dishes together..

They turned around to look at me after they felt my presence. "You're finally awake, I was so worried," Sylvia said as she walked towards me with a worried look that I would've fallen for if I wasn't aware of her rubbish..
