Soulmate (Completed) 18+

Side Story *1*

**Prem's POV**

**One Year Later**

So how do I explain what's been going on.

To be honest I could probably explain it all in the cover of a book...

It's been about a year and a half since Gulf ended things with me and at first it was really rough, the first few months I spent it locked up in our apartment trying to remember all of our memory's together. I watched all of our videos and anniversary speeches at dinner. 

I watched everything and no matter how badly I wanted to open the door when people showed up I just couldn't.

I couldn't look them in the eyes and tell them that the only person I have ever loved no longer wanted to love me. 

That the person that I gave everything to and imagined a future with no longer wanted to see my face. 

It was too much...

So I never saw Earth and Santa since before the day they left and I miss them so much. With them gone I no longer had any friends except for my boss and one of my co-workers. 

After that I worked every day for almost 3 months straight before I started to get sick. My boss started coming over to bring me soup and help take care of me until I got better. 

That's when I started to realize just how kind he always treated me. 

It was strange.  

I didn't mean too but after that I found him mysterious and started to pay more attention whenever I came into work.

He never talked about a partner, he stopped wearing his soullace in public around 3 years ago which was only 6 months after I started working there and he never yells at people either. 

Anyways after the day I got sick I realized that I stayed at work because I never wanted to be home but I was also too scared to move out of my apartment. Everywhere I looked reminded me of my life with Gulf and it means everything to me...

It was 10 years of my life.

So after that I slowly started to spend the night at work. 

At first it was once a week, than it was twice and three times a week. To the point to where now I barely go home, I pay all of my bills and go back to shower, change and eat but other than that I no longer spend the night there. 

It's too lonely in that home all by myself...

About a month ago my boss started to sleep on the floor in his office right next to the bed I use and stays to keep me company. I tried to tell him that I didn't need the company but he was determined and always smiled at me. 

It made me feel safe even if I didn't know what to say to him half the time. 

Even now I tend to look at my old photo's with Gulf on my phone. It's not that I love him the same way I use to but I miss the feeling, I miss being loved. I miss the feeling of being close to someone and feeling important to them. 

The worse part is that I know that I will never feel that again, It's known to only have one soulmate till the day you die. I didn't need to ask Gulf about his soullace with Mew because I knew it was a lie. 

Things like that just don't exist. 

He had to have broken the laws to find someone better than me, yea I'm over it now but I still have trouble understanding. I wake up with head aches, go to sleep with them and work with them. 

Boss: He gently shakes my shoulder with concern. "Hey, hey are you okay?"

Prem: I look up at him slowly as I feel the tears hit my hands. "Huh?"
