JUSTIN POV — Time Travel Chaos Begins
Justin:
I should be dead, right?
So why the hell do I feel so… light?
Oh my god—don't tell me I'm in hell. 😱
As my thoughts fade into the void, I hear a voice.
Not devilish.
Not demonic.
Not anything hell-like.
Actually… it sounds annoyed and angelic at the same time.
Voice: "Justin, wake up fast. You need to go to school." 😐
School…?
What kind of hell has schools?
I slowly open my eyes—
Justin: "AHHHHHHHHH!!" 😱
Voice: "Why the hell are you shouting, brat?" 😐
My eyes focus.
My brain freezes.
My soul disconnects.
Justin: "A-Aunt Lauren… you look so YOUNG." 😱
We are inside the Davis Palace.
In my room.
Only… everything looks like the past.
Lauren raises an eyebrow.
Lauren: "What the—when did I become old?" 😒
Justin: "But… you said school? Me? SCHOOL?!"
Lauren: "Yep." 😎
Justin: "And my age?" 😅
Lauren: "Ten. Why?" 😎
Justin: "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" 😱
Lauren slaps her hands over her ears.
Lauren: "MY GOD, MY EAR DRUMS! Sister Megan! COME HERE! This brat will be responsible for my hearing loss!" 😒
Megan rushes into the room, breathless.
Megan: "OMG what happened?! Justin! Justin!" 😶
Justin freezes, staring at Megan.
Lauren knows what's coming.
Lauren: "No. No way. Don't—" 😮💨
Justin: "AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" 😱

Meanwhile around the palace…
Thomas' Room
Thomas: "AHHHH EARTHQUAKE! TSUNAMI! HELP ME!" 😱
Emily's Room
Emily looks up, sighs, and continues combing her hair.
Emily: "Again." 😐
Main Hall
Joseph: "Stephen… it's your son." 😎
Stephen: "Again?" 😑
Jonathan: 🫥 (silently sipping tea)
Grandmother: "What happened?" 😊
Grandfather: "Now what did Thomas do?" 😒
(They all blame Thomas because Justin never shouts—he hides everything like an adult. But Thomas? Thomas screams every morning.)
---
Back in Justin's room…
Megan: (shouts) "JUSTIN, BE QUIET!" 😡
Justin: 😶
These people don't know.
They can't know.
I'm 26 inside.
No one scolded me when I grew up—because everyone tiptoed around "the boy whose mother ran away."
But hearing Megan yell at me…
It feels like…
Love?
Warm?
Like family?
My stupid heart actually gets emotional.
Lauren sees this and explodes.
Lauren: (shouts) "SISTER!" 😡
---
In the Hall
Joseph: "Uh oh… sister-in-law Megan is ANGRY." 🙁
Stephen: "Wait. Did I hear… Justin?" 😶
Jonathan, who never reacts to anything, suddenly lifts his head.
Jonathan: 🫥 …Did my son yell?
Joseph suddenly freezes.
Joseph: "WAIT. Was that MY WIFE'S VOICE?!" 😱
Lauren never yells.
Ever.
So Joseph is terrified.
All three brothers—Stephen, Joseph, Jonathan—turn their heads toward Justin's room at the same time.
Their faces:
😨 😧 😟

Justin POV
I sit on my bed, panting like a traumatized puppy.
I'm twenty-six in the body of a ten-year-old.
I'm back sixteen years in the past.
Back to the era when everyone whispered behind my back.
When school was torture.
When my mother's shadow ruined everything.
But this time…
I'm not the same Justin.
And I swear…
I WILL NOT LET MY LIFE REPEAT.
