Soulmates

24

I don't know what got me to say that. Maybe because I've been feeling that way after Dray. I know Oliver will always try to help, but it won't be the same. Callie and I don't know a lot about each other, but I still yearn for her. Maybe it's just because we're soulmates. Even now, not having met her in person, I know no touch will be like your soulmate's. No bond or relationship or friendship.
Maybe that's why Callie's mom hasn't gotten with someone since Elijah.
Despite knowing everything he's done to her, to Callie and Scarlett, knowing what a bad person he is, she might still struggle moving on.
She'd rather be alone than someone other than Elijah. And she knew being with Elijah wasn't an option.
"I know," Callie said, bringing me out of my thoughts and making me realise it's only been seconds since I spoke. She looked at Alex as Alex spoke
"Yeah," Alex agreed. "We're here, Callie. Don't be afraid to lean on us."
"Only if Harper agrees to do the same." She looked back at me. "Harper has to lean on me and Oliver, too. Not keep everything in and deal with it on your own."
"I..." I wasn't sure how I felt talking about it with Alex and Christopher there. But my not knowing probably meant I shouldn't. "Can we talk about it later?" I put my head down and scratched my neck.
"Of course, we totally can. But at least remember we're here."
I nodded at her like I agreed.
I didn't want to say my mind is always telling me that that isn't true.
Didn't say that those dark misty words were coming back and were, by extension, the reason of my headache.
I didn't need to worry her; not when she was already busy.
I didn't want to put that weight on her.
