Now that there are two of us: A soulmate AU

Soulmate injuries really hurt

Leo POV

          I felt so sorry for Kylie she had to put up with people constantly telling her that her voice was useless and that she should just disappear.  I heard her sing in the band showcase and in choir she was so good her voice was a but crackly when she talks but when she sings it becomes smooth as silk and almost angelic.  She could be a really good pop singer if she wanted to.  I had always wondered why she never talks and now I sort of wish I hadn't asked but at the same time I am glad that I did.  I normally walk home with Kylie cause I live just a block closer to school than her and my house is on her way home but as soon as she explained she just ran like she had done something wrong.  I then felt a pang of guilt as she ran but it wasn't my own it was from my soulmate.  I went to my locker and grabbed my bag and phone and started my way home from school.  It was  a long walk without Kylie there but at the same time it gave me time to think about what she said.  It truly was heartbreaking to hear that it was always that bad.  The worse thing is that her brother seems like an angel but when she told me I knew she was telling the truth.  It wasn't just that she was my best friend it was more like a gut feeling like if that wasn't true then nothing was.

          When I got home I decided to get a snack and start on my school work because since Kylie was coming over the next day I knew she would ask about it and if it wasn't done she would never let me hear the end of it.  So once I found my snack (Cheese and crackers) I put my headset on and got a start on my school work.  I just had my essay for social studies with a visual aid, 2 math pages, and to practice my trumpet.  I started on my visual aid seeing as I didn't really want to write an essay as soon as I got home.  Normally I would do my homework with Kylie but I got the feeling that I shouldn't pester today.  So I set down to drawing Poseidon Greek god of the sea in my sketchbook.  I had just gotten to my favorite song on the playlist (Home by machine gun Kelly, XAmbasitors and Bebe Rexha)  the cool thing is that it was a shared playlist and I saw Kylie was listening to the exact same song as me.  It wasn't to be unexpected seeing as it was the song we were performing at the next band showcase but I still think that it is cool that a block away my best friend was listening to the same song at the same time as me.

I had finished my math pages and my essay.  And was just sitting down to put my trumpet together and that's when I felt it.  I fell of the couch where I was sitting and was hit with blow after blow.  They were hard and had a lot force put behind them but I was still at home alone.  This was a soulmate problem.  By the time it all stopped I was on the very edge of consciousness and luck for me my mom chose that moment to walk through the front door and shout,                               "Leo I'm home!!!!"  Then she saw me on the floor with blood coming from many places and she rushed over.  I barely had time to mutter soulmate before the world went black.  As I was asleep I wondered if my soulmate is okay.  But Leo how can she be okay if you are this banged up then she would be just as bad if not worse.  I then felt something touch my hand it was a new sensation and I flinched away and then all the voices hit me " Useless, Ugly, fat, friendless, unlovable, disgusting, hopeless."  all of these words flooded my brain like a tidal wave but not through my ears it was like they just were there.  And again I knew that this was a soulmate problem.  The pressure on my hand moved to my face and then a new voice hit me,                                       " Leo bud can you hear me?  Open your eyes for me okay"  It wasn't a voice I knew it was a new one.  It sounded male.  Like the tenor singers in choir.  I decided I should trust this voice and I opened my eyes I was still on the floor but there was a bright light shining in my eyes.                                "He's awake!!"  Shouted the same voice as before.  The light was then taken out of my eyes and I blinked a few time to clear the spots that had formed there.  I glanced around the room and saw a few more people huddled around me including my mom.                                                                         "Mom what's going on?"  I asked as I tried to sit up.  Before My mom could answer and before I could sit all the way up there was a firm hand on my chest forcing me to not move anymore.  Before my mom could answer the man holding me down did it for her.                                       " Whoever your soulmate is they were attacked along with you.  Do you know who attacked you son?"  He asked kindly.                                                                                                                                                      " It wasn't me who was attacked in person it was her because I was just sitting here"  I gestured at the couch and the abandon trumpet on it before continuing, "getting ready to play my trumpet because we have a concert on the 28th of February.  and suddenly I was being hit so hard but I was still alone.  And while I was blacked out there were these voices but they weren't yours but they were familiar like it was someone I had met before but not very often."  I told them.  I really hope my soulmate is okay and that she got help.  That was the last thought I got to have before they were lifting me onto a stretcher to go to the hospital to check for anymore injuries.
