No promises... no promises. Something about those words seemed all too familiar. I gripped my steering wheel, questioning whether or not I should turn around, go back to Matthew, tell him how I felt. But in my heart, I knew thatds, you'll never see that person ag once you hear those wordsain. 

Which made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. That was the last time we'd see each other, talk, hug... Would one of us die? Then, my vision faded.

That's when I realized the car had traveled to a local bar. 

"Another drink, m'lady?" the bartender asked.

"Hmm," I groaned, "How many have I had?"

"Six," He smirked, "Lightweight I assume?" 

"No, I'm unbothered," My eyes rolled.

"Well, I have your keys and called you an Uber," He smiled.

That's the problem with drinking, I thought, as he poured myself another drink. If something bad happens, you drink to forget. However, the drinks must not have worked because still, all I could hear was no promises.

Somehow, my vision faded again. And I was in my car, no Uber, no recollection of getting my keys from that man, nothing. 

My vision was blurry, my face hot, and my thoughts slowed. What the hell was happening to me? 

Then, I was at my apartment. Staring at my body in the mirror. Placing my hand over the scarred ink on my thigh. No promises. No, no, NO. I spent 5 years with my soulmate. 5 years. And, and I never told him that I liked him. Because he always had her. Her. She and their new baby are on the way. He'd have a good life. I'd have to roam the world without the one who was made for me. Damnit. 

My vision fades again. 

I'm back in my car and it must be midnight. Tears filled my eyes, stop it. No one prepared me for the moment I'd lose my soulmate. A soulmate that wasn't meant to be. The road kept getting longer, with the car driving faster and faster. Between the tears and the hopelessness in my heart, driving became an illusion. An escape. 

I thought when bad things happened, time slowed down. But to me, it felt fast. Too fast. Everything seemed to happen in a single second, as I watched my car swerve, as I slowly began to flip, and as I realized I would not make it.

---------------

It was 2 am when I got the call. 2 am when I realized it would be her to die first. 2 am when every single piece in my heart shattered. I always knew that when your soulmate died, a part of you would die too, but I thought my life would suffice. 

I was wrong. 

She was hurting, like I was, however, I had my wife. Which doesn't make anything better because I should've been with Y/N. 

And now, I never can.
