"Good morning Ayla, we missed you two yesterday" her first period teacher told her.
"Two?" She asked.
"Yes, both you and Cyrus were gone yesterday I hope you had fun" she smiled.
"No, we weren't together, kind of the opposite actually" she said walking to her seat.
"You guys are soulmates are you not?" she asked while Ayla out her bag down.
"Yes, we are" she admitted.
"I know how it feels. You know it took me and my wife ages to get together. We were both scared of love and what others were thinking" she explained.
"How Um, how did you get over it?" Ayla asked. She turned to see Cyrus making her instantly look back to her teacher.
"When a soulmate dreams of each other you may not realize, but you can feel each other, and your feelings can sometimes even get into each other's head. You guys are connected by fate and the universe itself. Everything in this world is going to drive you two together whether you like it or not. What's going to make you get over the fear and the trauma is going to be realizing how similar and perfect you guys are for each other." She explained.
"When one of you guys are hurt the other feels it just as deep and one day you're going to get tired of hurting. I suggest you get over it soon because I know how much it hurts and I wouldn't wish it on anyone" she finished.
"Thank you" Cyrus said before sitting down and going on his phone. Ayla looked at him not knowing what to expect.
"Did you need something" he said looking up from his seat. He hated being mean, but this is what he felt he needed to do to stop his hurting.
Ayla rolled her eyes and sat back down waiting for the class to start.
"I should've known you wouldn't have listened" the teacher smiled to herself.
————————————
The bell rang dismissing everyone. Ayla got up from her seat and went to go home. On her way out she saw Cyrus walking through the crowd.
"Don't you fucking do it" Emilia said.
"I hurt him, and I can still feel it in my heart that its not just me it's his hurt too. I can't live with myself I want him" she admitted, then taking off, pushing herself through the crowd. She finally reached him and grabbed his hand making him jump and turn to her.
"Jesus, you scared the fuck out of me" he said putting his hand over his heart.
"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't mean to startle you. I was wondering- you're going to art class right? So I can give you a ride" she said.
"What the fuck" he said taking his hand back.
"Ayla stop playing with me like I'm some fucking toy"
"No I'm not doing that I jus-"
"No, you are doing that. I haven't done anything to you but be kind and try and be the soulmate you deserve but you continue to leave me and hurt me and this feeling in my stomach- it hurts Ayla it hurts. All I want is for it to go away but I'm not going to be with you just for you to leave me once again ok? So either listen to your own damn advice and leave me alone, or get your shit together and you can come to me when you're ready to own up to your actions and treat yourself and I right" he said then began walking off.
"Golden please don't be like that" she called out.
"Be like what? You mean hurt Ayla? I'm hurt. I feel like someone ripped my heart into shreds that was you. My head spins for hours and hours on end thinking about how I'm not good enough and the only person on the planet I cared for, the person I've been literally dreaming of my whole life hurt me. when I was scared at night, I would look forward to you I spent hours at night talking to the moon waiting for you to come. And when you did you hurt me over and over again. I can't anymore. I physically can't take it anymore. So please choose soon before you have nothing to choose between." He said then finally walking off.
"Welp that went well didn't it?" Emilia said.
"Fuck off" Ayla said walking to her car.
"Maybe just drive the car off the road" Emilia laughed.
"Hey, don't give me any ideas" Ayla responded.
