Fix my heart

You again

3 years later

They say that we are born with a soulmate, that we should look for the love of our lives but no one says how to do it? what it takes to find that right person?

sometimes we meet more than one special person and sometimes we can end up with the wrong person. only a few times and the lucky ones find their soulmate in a world where love is not a beautiful strong word for everyone because if you think about it how many people do you know that are truly in love?

Cheryl was at a store buying things for dinner. The atmosphere in the store stared to feel weird as if She could feel the stares of people, it's like someone has been following her or watching her from a distance. She kept looking around but everything was normal. No one was putting attention to her. There was a kid with his parents, a woman by herself and strangers walking by but no ones eyes were on her but still... there was this feeling inside of Cheryl making her feel like something bad was about to happen.

To calm herself she started to convince herself that maybe it was all on her head and It just been so long since she came to the store on her own.

"Is this your baby?" an old woman asked Cheryl. The woman was standing next to Cheryl's daughter. Cheryl was a little nervous she didn't noticed when the woman walked closer to them.

" isn't she so cute?" Cheryl replied trying to be nice with the curious old woman who wasn't giving her a good feeling. The young mother started to feel nervous when the old woman started touching her daughter's head.

"you have a cute baby, she looks like you" the woman commented getting even more close to the baby .Cheryl nodded in response to the woman's comment, not being able to talk. she had to look at every action the woman did with concern. It wasn't the first time someone tried to kidnap her daughter.

"Thank you... It's time for us to go" Cheryl quickly said, walking away from the woman, not wanting to stay near her any longer. Maybe she just panicked and the woman didn't have bad intentions but there was an odd feeling that kept making her feel anxious. Her daughter is Cheryl's world; she would go crazy if something ever happened to her daughter.

Looking around making sure the woman wasn't near Cheryl paid for everything. Carrying her daughter in her arms. She could not take any chances of her looking away for one second and finding out her daughter was gone. "There was nothing to worry about" she tried to tell herself to stay calm.

"have a good day" the young cashier said. Cheryl gave a small smile to the cashier and thanked her before leaving. She just wanted to go home as soon as possible.

When she left the store she saw the woman standing near her car. Cheryl stopped walking realizing that she was right and the woman didn't have good intentions. she didn't allow herself to think twice. She walked back inside the store where there were people that could help her if something were to happen. What does the old woman want from her? What was she doing near her car? Cheryl kept asking herself these questions. She tried to look for her phone in her purse but she realized she forgot her phone at home and what made it worse was that looking at the sky it looked like it was going to rain. Her daughter started to cry and it made Cheryl panic. "Come on baby Let's calm down" she said softly. She tried to calm her down but nothing seemed to work.

"Cheryl?" A familiar voice called her name.

Cheryl turned around to find no other but the one and only Toni topaz... her ex.

"Toni?" Cheryl asked, surprised to see her again. The last time they saw each other was three years ago and Cheryl wasn't a mother.

"Are you okay?" Toni asked, noticing Cheryl was a little nervous. Cheryl shook her head in response.
