The Soulmates Inside our Heads

Chapter 1 - The 27th of April

They say we all have a soul mate.

The person who is the perfect for us in every way, the person who brings out the best in us. Those Soul mates are also the voices inside our heads. Our Perfect Person is the one who tells us not too do that stupid thing or holds up there end of the internal conversation during boredom.

Today is the 27th of April

Like every normal last period friday of my 16 year old life I was sitting in English. I was doodling pictures of faces in my book thinking hard like every normal English lesson but today I was alone in my thoughts. No voice in my head talking back to me and saying funny remarks.

My soul mates voice was gone.

To make my day even more depressing my Dad died that night but I will get to that later.

If something happens to your soul mate and they die for some reason then you should get a new one. A new one who's soul mate has also died as well. This happened to my friends Andym He had this girls voice inside his head then it disappeared just like mine but unlike mine it got replaced by a male voice. Andy's gay. Which is great because I guessed it and we had a bet that if his soul mate ever changes then it would be a guy. Ki thought not and now I am $20 richer.

My soul mate must have not died or maybe the person who controls all this just hasn't found another one yet? Who knows at this point it will just be me and a million dogs when I am older. I will be the crazy dog lady. I would say cats but I am allergic to cats.

It's been of a year silence and I miss that voice inside my head. Julie my best friend found her soul mate today. She was walking down the street and this random guy walks straight into her sending her Starbucks flying, what a waste of perfectly good Starbuck.

Then as she fell backwards he caught her and they looked into each other's eyes, you could SEE the sparks and love hearts flying around. I was just sipping my Hot Chocolate bored, but no voice in my head to fill the silence.

After that my best friend was in love. She had found Kevin, her soul mate. It turns out he had just moved here from Florida. Who moves from Florida to Canada? Kevin's family apparently does. Kevin was nice, perhaps not the sharpest tool in the shed, but nice and pretty good looking. Ii made me wish my soul mate was nice and good looking. Or at least my soul mate would return to my thoughts.

So far Kevin has taken her on 3 dates in the 3 days they have been together, one coffee date, a picnic and out for dinner. Super romantic guy. I know this because after every single one I would get a phone call from a very happy Julie.

Kevin was also a gentleman as he had not done anything other than kiss her. And according to Julie "IT'S AMAZING TO BE KISSED BY YOU SOUL MATE I WANT TO DO IT AGAIN!" She screamed it at me almost deafening my right ear because the phone was too close.

Now about my Dad.

Now basically there are Gangs in our town. My dad was the leader of one of them and now he's dead.

He was an amazing Dad and I was there when he was shot.

I remember him yelling at me to run and leave and don't worry about him.

And he toke the Bullet for me.

Then I remember a blood patch spreading across his chest as he feel to the ground.

He died later that night in Hospital.

He toke the Bullet for me.

Not only did my soul mate dissappear that day I lost my Dad.

On friday we sat down in my room with popcorn ready for our Friday night movie. Tonight it was a horror movie. The opening scene and back story started as I looked sideways at my best friends face. Her happy face was illuminated by the TV screen.

I swear I have never seen her happier, except maybe when she got an A in Geometry. She was practically smiling her face off. Even though everyone in the movie was getting brutally dismembered she was still lost in her own happiness of finding her soul mate.

She picked up her phone whilst the crazy man stabbed someone. Her eyes lighting up as she texted him back. Her Soul mate. Kevin and Julie does have a nice ring to it.

My eyes flicked back to the screen in time to see more blood. Then I looked back at my best friend who was now completely concentrated on her phone and smiling like nobody's business.

I mean Hello Crazy Man Killing people on the TV here at least look a bit scared?

I reached over and paused the movie just as the girl started screaming. "Hey, what did you do that for?" Julie asked with a mouth full of buttery popcorn.

"Because your not watching it and it was boring." I answered quietly.

"Tess," she started tentatively

"No I don't wanna talk. Just stop texting and watch people getting killed. Okay?"

"Okay. But I am here for you." She mumbled as the movie started again and she put her phone down.

"I know J, " I wispered back to her, "I know".Then we watched the movie.

*Knock knock* Someone was at my door.

Remember we had just watched a Horror movie.

*Knock Knock*
