Soul Bond

Chapter 15: Incomplete

🚹*POV: Aya*

I feel my body being shaken, but that is not right, I have no body that I can truly own or call mine. I have stayed locked in Bloom'a body most of my life, she hates it and I do as well. Yet I feel shaken as I stir and am forced to open my eyes, but I don't really have eyes or do I? I open my eyes to meet some frantic hazel ones. They were beautiful, full of sadness and full of lost hope. 

"Bloom?" he whispers on but I think by now, by just staring into my eyes, he knows they don't belong to Bloom. "Aya" he murmurs, I look at my hand, Bloom's. I see then, that emptiness, Bloom is not in this body right now, she's gone. "Justin?" I whisper trying my voice, it sounds to childish, to young and chipper. He looks pained and looks away, "your not Bloom" he looks hurt. I sit up, look into my hands, the body, my bare-feet. 

I look into his eyes and sadly frown, "no I am not Bloom" and with that he falls into my arms, crying as a child. I have always believed men don't cry, but they do when they lose something or someone they love with all their hearts. I murmur into his eat soothing words, reassuring him everything will be right when people burst into the room. Justin pulls away and meets their gazes, I knew them as well because of Bloom. 

But they also saw something in my eyes that did not and does not resemble her. Eddie walks closer, Dimitri behind him. I look into their eyes, "Justin..." replied Eddie with tears already welling up in his eyes matching the sadness Justin held. Justin shook his head, and looked down with more tears slipping down his angelic face. Eddie slams the wall angrily, "how could you let this happen!? You promised-", "I couldn't stop him! Itiittt was too late when I tried" he murmured in disgust. 

Dimitri put his hand, patting Eddie's shoulder, "Bloom wouldn't want this" he whispered. "Yes she wouldn't want this" I whispered, Justin and Eddie look up at me, I stand up. "She would want you all strong" I continue, "she doesn't want you to blame yourselves" I say directly to Justin, "it was all her choice and I know her as good as you do" I murmur. Dimitri nods, "she's right...Aya" he stutters, I nod, "I am Aya and I will help bring back Bloom because I do not belong in this world" I stare off into the rising sun, it was dawn, a new beginning of a new day. 

As soon as Justin was able to walk we exited the complex. Everyone was happy to see me walking until they realized the change. "Bloom" they all murmured in union, but Justin responds, shakes his head, "it's not Bloom, Blooomm.....she's gone" he manage to say before breaking again. Everyone gave me empty stares, unsure of what or who I am now. I lift my head held high, "I am Aya" I say aloud. As I see them all look confused and conflicted, I look out to the sun, I will keep that promise, I will bring back the girl that belongs in this body, Bloom. Bloom will return.
