We returned to the car after dinner to find Kye waiting for us inside. Logan immediately disappeared to take care of whatever they were up to. Kye was left to drive me home, but since he really wasn’t from our time, I took the keys to drive myself. I did try to unsuccessfully kick Kye out and make him time travel back to wherever he came from, but he refused to leave me alone. I was pretty sure that was Logan’s doing and not Kye’s.

When we got back to the house, I just wanted to be alone. It didn’t take much to understand that wasn’t going to be the case because of Logan’s orders. Kye followed me right upstairs to my bedroom.

“Please,” I asked him, “I promise not to run anywhere. Where would I go anyway? It’s freezing out. My only time traveling friends hate me. I’m stuck here.” I pulled at the bracelet that was still secure around my wrist. I really couldn’t go anywhere. Logan had to stop worrying that I was going to physically run away.

Kye rolled his eyes at me. “Do you really think I’m with you to prevent you from traveling?”

I looked at him. Why else was he on twenty-four-hour duty when Logan left? I waited for him to explain. Yes, I thought he was with me to keep me from spoiling whatever plans Logan had.

“I’ve been here so that you aren’t alone. I’m your friend, Mari,” Kye replied. “I know what it’s like to not have friends, and Logan’s done a very good job keeping all yours away. I don’t want you to feel like you’re all alone in this. I’m here, and will be for as long as you want me to be.”

“Really?” I asked.

“Guaranteed,” Kye replied.

How could he guarantee that? Kye was from the future. What was keeping him in the past? How could he be sure he wasn’t going off somewhere whenever the goddess or Logan decided?

“How?” I asked. I couldn’t believe that Kye was going to stay. So far no one I cared about stayed with me.

I wanted to be alone to wallow in my isolation. Kye was correct. I was all alone now. Seth, Ty, Dee were all mad at me, and rightfully so. Sim wasn’t the same girl that I was friends with when we shared a room. Melissa wanted to be my best friend, but I still couldn’t forget the way she acted when I was with Seth. It was all a mess, and one thing was for sure: Kye was right. He was the last friend I had left in this weird, time travel world I was a part of now.

“How about I stay here and distract you?” Kye suggested. “We could play twenty questions, and you can ask me anything about my life and the future.” He was tempting me. I did want to know more about Kye. Even though he was strangely protective of me, and actually really nice, there was much mystery to him.
