This book is based in the future
divorce rates have gotten worse sense 2016 so the government has put together a match system, when you are born you get A tattoo I find it pretty crazy that they put a tattoo on a baby but this is how this life goes...
I was sitting in the big huge hall with my friends, today's matching day for all the 16 year olds they have this day once every 3 months so only the people who have turned 16 in the past three months are hear, you only go once because once your symbols in the computer you don't have to come back until you find your match
"Chloe Hosterman" my name was called out threw the microphone, my friends gave a smile smile I got up and walked over to the lady with the computer, there are 5 lady's with computers but I went to the one that called my name "symbol" she said in a bored tone I hesitantly held out my hand and showed her the small heart on my wrist on the right

I've seen others with a symbol like mine but there's is coloured in mine isn't, mines just a plain heart shape, if there's looked exactly like mine then we'd be matches but there's isn't the same as mine, there the same shape but not same colour, the lady looked at it before typing it in on her computer, I awkwardly stood hear not knowing what to do
"We have a match!" She yelled, causing everyone's eyes to turn hear I gulped, I didn't want to find my match Iv seen the way my father treats my mother and I don't want that, a guy in a black suit came over, his blonde hair was gelled this guy ran the system for our school they do this at every school
"What's the symbol" he asked looking at the lady at the desk
"Un coloured heart shape on right wrist to the right side" she says, the guy wrote on the clipboard in his hands
"Name of the matches?" He asked
"Chloe Hosterman and Ryan mccartan sir" she said, I felt my breathing get heavy, I was afraid to have a match Iv seen friends of mine who are a bit older find there match they get beaten, my father is really mean towards my mother I didn't want this but I don't have a choice, the guy wrote on his clipboard again
"Ages?" He asked still writing
"Chloe sixteen, Ryan 19" she said, he's 19 that means he's been waiting for me for three years, the man kept writing while I stood her awkwardly
"The male matches home town?" He asked
"Hear sir" she said, well at least I won't have to move to another town
"Contact the other match tell him to come collect his match" he said she nodded then the guy looked at me "follow me" he said and started walking I hesitantly followed him, knowing if I caused trouble he would have my match punish me, that's how it works no guy can punish any other girl but there match, if the female does something and someone doesn't like it they tell the females match and he must punish her even if he doesn't agree with what she should be punished for, this world is sick and I hate it, the guy lead me into a room where a girl sat behind the desk, woman can have jobs but only in the match system and only if there match allows it, the lady gave me a smile smile
"Sit" the guy said pointing to one of the chairs, I obeyed and sat on the chair he turned to face the lady at the desk "Chloe Hosterman has found her match I want you to call her family and tell them she won't be coming home" he said to her she nodded as he handed her the clipboard "her family's number is on there as well as the rest of the information, also tick there symbol off of the computer" he said she nodded and took the clipboard and the guy walked out, I looked at the woman behind the desk as she picked up the phone she had a collar on, it's stupid but all females must where one if they've found there match, it's shows that you belong to someone, hers had a 'k' and a 't' hanging from it, the letters represent names
"What's your name?" I asked
"Kathryn" she said I nodded, the k represents her name and the t would be the letter her matches name starts with, I'm not looking forward to having to wear on at all, this hole world is stupid,I should get a choice with who I spend the rest of my life with, Kathryn started talking to someone on the phone I'm guessing it's my father, after that short conversation she started doing stuff on the computer 10 minutes later the guy came in from before as well as another guy, he had brown hair and brown eyes that where light up and the biggest smile on his face, he didn't notice me tho as he and the guy spoke to Kathryn, the guy held his hand out to her I could see the uncoloured heart from hear this was my match I wasn't even paying attention to there conversation
"Chloe" I heard someone say I looked over and seen its was the guy running the system calling me "have to teach her to not zone out Ryan" he said, I stood up awkwardly, Ryan let out an a small forced laugh
"Yeah" he said scratching the back off his neck
"Sign hear" Kathryn said pushing a piece of paper across the desk, Ryan looked at me before signing it, I had to sign as well
"Well she's yours" the guy said, Ryan nodded and took my hand and gently pulled me out of the room and past my friends, they gave me a nervous smile, I shrugged, Ryan lead me over to a car I'm guessing it's his because he pulled keys out of his pocket and unlocked it, he opened the front seat door and gave me a smile, his silence did scare me tho, was he mad that I zoned out, I hesitantly got in, he shot the door and walked around and got in the drivers side, he started driving to I don't know where
"I'm guessing your not used to being called Chloe" Ryan asked breaking the silence
"What do you mean?" I asked my voice shaking
"Nail called you like 4 times" he said, oh god he's going to hit me
"I get called dove most of the time" I said shaking my voice breaking as tears threatened to fall, I didn't want to get hit, he looked at me before pulling the car over he took his seat belt off and turned in his seat a bit so his body was facing me
"What's wrong? I just asked a question" he said
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to zone out I wasn't thinking I don't get called Chloe very often please don't punish me" I begged tears falling from my eyes he looked at me for a second
"I'm not going to" he says as he wipes my tears away with his thumb "your my princess I would never hurt you" he said, I looked at him completely shocked tears still falling tho "we're going to have to have rules tho so my family don't ask questions and you must follow them when we are around my family or anyone okay no one can know I treat you with respect because then I'll be in trouble understand" he says I give a small nod, I'm so confused, he tucks some hair behind my ear "I'd never hurt you, your my princess and I'll treat you like one" he said making me smile a little, he turned back in his seat and out his seat belt back on and started driving again, I felt more relaxed now, but what if he's lying to me.
