ADDITIONALLY: when your soulmate dies, the world goes back to black and white**

For @EnderClock

Ty's P.O.V

I'm getting tired of my entire world just being black and white. I want to see colour. I want to see what other people that have found their soulmate see. I'm 17 years old for Christ's sake. Everybody around me can see the gorgeous colours that form our world, but I can't.

I hastily zip up my coat, pull on my shoes, grab my keys, and leave my flat. I jump into my car and head over to the nearest coffee shop. I look around the streets as I drive down the colourless streets. I park my car, and head into the cafe. I keep my head down as I walk through to the counter, I don't like looking at people without colour. It's unsettling. I look up to the boards that show the different variations of coffee, and chose a simple caramel latte.

I glance down to the barista to make my order, and my entire world changes. Colours rush into my eyesight all at once and it overwhelms me. I look around the shop in awe.

"You too, huh?" I hear a beautifully angelic voice speak to me.

"I'm Ty." I say breathlessly. "I'll have a caramel latte please."

"Hey Ty. I'll get the latte for you, and maybe a free addition of my number? Oh, my name's Grey by the way." She is already charming, and I can feel myself swooning already.

"That's a really pretty name, Grey." I decide to start the good impression early. She only smiles as she continues to prepare my latte. She hands me the china cup, and our fingers brush against each other.

"How much?" I ask her.

"Don't worry about paying, the least I can do is cover it, in return for you opening my eyes to the world." Her beautiful voice sends butterflies to my stomach. I argue with her, she doesn't need to pay for my coffee!

"Thanks." I say with a sigh, giving in. I walk over to a spare table and set my coffee down rushing back over to get a wooden coffee stirrer. I sit down at my selected table, sinking into the blood red couch. I sip my latte, scrolling through all my social media sites. It feels nice to see everything in colour for once. I feel a soft tap on my shoulder, and my head turns to see Grey.

"Here's my number Ty." She says, handing me a small slip of paper. "We can hang out now if you want? I just finished."

"I would love that" I breath out, stuffing the paper in my pocket. I'm still in awe of her beauty. We then proceed to walk around the local park. I love a girl I only just met.

<<10 Years Later>>

Grey was out at the supermarket grabbing some groceries, and I was caring for our 3 children, Josh, Simon, and Harry. Harry, being the youngest, was running around our living room, holding his green toy truck in the air proudly. I had been playing with the boys for around 90 minutes now and it was driving me crazy. I move from my sitting position on the carpet, and walk to the bay window. I pull back the curtains, and check for any sign of my wife.

That's when it hit me.

Colours faded from my vision. No more red. No more blue. No more colour. My eyes instantly filled with tears.

"Daddy?" I hear Simon's voice. His sweet, innocent voice.

"I'm okay Si, I just need to call your grandmother, keep an eye on Harry for me?" I can't bring myself to look at him. I don't want him to see me like this, he would know that something is up with Grey. He is 7 now, and they teach the children about eye sight from a very young age.

I leave the room, and call my mother.

"Hey honey, how are things?" My mom asks me.

"It happened. I can't see colour anymore. She's gone mom. Grey's dead." I barely form a whisper as I tell her the news.

"Oh, honey, do you want me to care for the kids for a few days?" I only let out a small whimper, that barely sounds like a yes. She tells me that she is coming over ASAP, and hangs up on me. I back up to the hallway wall and lean against it, sliding down. I wrap my arms around my knees, and bury my head in the dark space I created. I let out sobs. I must have been there for a while, because I hear my mom let herself in. She wraps her arms around me and I let out loud wails of hurt and sadness. She was gone, the woman I loved was gone.

I break free of her arms in anguish and punch a wall, blood surfacing on my hands. I collapse to the ground and curl up in a ball, releasing my tears. I couldn't believe that she was gone. She was fucking gone and I couldn't even say a proper goodbye.
