Alex's POV - Wednesday, December 9, 2020, 1:38 am

~Dream~

"Jamie!" I reached out, trying to grab my brother's hand as he flailed about in the rising water. Tears streamed down my face.

"Jamie, Jamie, no!"

His head disappeared under the muddy waves.

And I never saw him again.

~Dream over~

I woke up to find myself sobbing quietly into my pillow. I glanced at Ned, who was still asleep, then quietly got up and tiptoed over to my desk, unlocking one of the drawers and pulling out a small pocketknife. I had just begun to carve into my wrist when the writing appeared again.

please stop

I frowned. Why did they care so much? It's not like we knew each other or anything.

I decided to write back.

Why do you care?

bc were soulmates, they wrote back.

You don't even know me.

I frowned. How would you know that?

I chuckled softly. So it was a boy, then.

So you're a boy.

Cool. I wasn't sure.

I frowned, confused. Suddenly, a shape began to form on my palm. It slowly took the form of a turtle. I smiled.

A turtle?

That's true.

I almost burst out laughing.

And those three pretty sisters were the envy of all.

I blushed.

IDK, talking to me is kinda dumb.

And why not?

By now, our conversation had made it to my elbow. I chuckled softly.

You aren't so bad.

I felt myself go red, and I knew I was grinning like a maniac.

Is that so?

I know, but look at what I've started.
