"i-...." I hesitate to answer. This can't be me... Can it?

It can't be a coincidence either though...

"I'm sorry you have to deal with them being so stupid" I say quickly.

"La-lance no. If they're hurting... Th-this might be the only thing stopping them from dying" Keith says quietly. He strokes one of the flowers and I watch as a year rolls off his nose and lands on a petal.

"I'd rather them hurt me... Then kill themselves" he whispers.

I look at him in shock.

"Aren't you mad at them? Fo-r making you have all these dumb flowers" I ask incredulously.

Keith shakes his head and wipes his eyes quickly.

"No... But I wish I could help them... If they're back on Earth... I can't"

I stand in shock staring at him gaping.

"I wish I could talk to them..."

I snap out of it.

"Well don't get your hopes up" I reply gruffly. "They're probably back on Earth. Far away from here. You can't help them" I stuffing my hands in my pockets.

"Have fun with your dumb flowers. I'm going to bed" I stalk off away from the door.

I don't know why I reacted like that... He was accepting and I got angry....

Am I just so unused to being accepted that I got mad?...

I'm such and idiot. I angrily turn to the wall and kick it hard. I immediately regret it. My toe starts to bleed.

"Shit shit shit" I whisper in pain.

I quickly pull socks on and my slippers.

I sigh angrily and sit down on the side of my bed. I cup my head in my hands.

What am I supposed to do... If I'm really Keith's soulmate, then he's screwed.

If I'm really Keith's soulmate, life really fucked him over....

Those were my favourite flowers...

He's going to take back everything he said just now if it is me. He will laugh and sneer and ignore me....

Fuck...

A weird tickling sensation snaps my out of it. I lift my leg onto my knee and roll up my trousers.

Red roses are growing from my calf, from a small line. It stops abruptly and stare at it in shock.

Is my soulmate cutting?!

I breath a sigh of relief when I see words start to appear beside it in black biro.

"Sorry... I forgot i can write something..."

I laugh softly.
