Stuck In My Head

↠ Chapter 1 ↞

My head starts to pound as I wake up telling me that there's something wrong with my soul mate. I sit up and look at the time and groan when I see it's two in the morning. However, because I love the stranger that happens to be my soul mate I start to sing. I start singing Car Radio by Twenty-One Pilots and tune out the pain in my head.

"I ponder of something great, my lungs will fill and then deflate. They fill with fire exhale desire I know it's dire my time today. I have these thoughts so often I ought to replace that slot with what I once bought cause somebody stole my car radio and, now, I just sit in silence." After the first verse I don't have to tune out the pain because it actually goes away. "I know we haven't met, but you mean the world to me. You're absolutely perfect and I'm extremely glad my singing helped calm you down." I say laying back down in my bed and pulling my blanket up to my chin.

"You mean more to me than you'll ever know." my soul mate says his voice distorted as per usual. I smile at the sound of his words and close my eyes.

"Goodnight babe."

"Goodnight love, sleep tight." My smile grows on my face and I pull my blanket over my face as I blush. Growing up we had a special class in each grade reserved for learning about having a soul mate. We learned the most basic of things and the most complex and if you were lucky you were able to retain the simple stuff. The main thing I remember was that when you hear your soul mate's voice it will be distorted and unrecognizable until you meet them in real life. Some of my friends have already met their soul mates, others are just messing around with people until they find the correct one. My eyes close and then re-open as Green Day starts playing in my head letting me know that my soul mate is definitely not going back to sleep tonight. Most of the time when he can't sleep I try to stay up with him but considering I have to go to a performance tomorrow I need my sleep. "It's okay, go to sleep." he says sensing my hesitation.

"You sure?"

"I'm sure." he chuckles. I close my eyes again rolling onto my back and letting out a sigh as sleep seems so far away. I hear him start singing and sleep gets pushed further out of my sights as I'm overcome by the clarity and gorgeousness.

"We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when. Although I wasn't there he said I was his friend. Which came as a surprise. I spoke into his eyes. I thought you died alone a long long time ago. Oh no, not me. We've never lost control." I sit up and smile my ass off as I get up. I can hear him chuckle in my head letting me know he can tell what's going on.

"Hush, I was going to go to bed but then you started singing. Why are you so perfect?" I groan hiding my face in my hands.

"I didn't think I was love." he says, his voice low and bashful. I giggle quietly.

"You are, very much so and I can't wait until the day we meet."

"I can't wait either baby girl. It'll be the first best day of my life."

"The first? There'll be more?"

"Yeah. The day we get married, the day we have our first child, the day you tell me you love me for the first time." he says simply. Even though I've never met the boy I can just imagine him shrugging his shoulders.

"You're absolutely the cutest most adorably perfect human being on this planet and I've never been happier to have a soul mate." I say my voice serious and quite. "Can I make today one of the best days of your life?"

"What?" he asks kind of stunned.

"I love you. I know we haven't met so it's kind of weird but..."

"It's okay I love you too." he says kind of laughing. I smile and bite my lip to keep in a squeal. "Will you sing to me more? You're voice is soothing and I love being able to hear your voice clearly."

"I'd die for you, that's easy to say. We have a list of people we would take, a bullet for them, a bullet for you, a bullet for everybody in this room. But I don't seem to see many bullets coming through. See many bullets coming through. Metaphorically I'm the man but literally I don't know what I'd do. I'd live for you that's harder to do. Even harder to say when you know it's not true. Even harder to write when you know that tonight, there are people back home which are talking to you, but then you ignore them still. All these questions they're for real, like who would you live for, who would you die for, and would you ever kill? Oh, oh I'm falling so I'm taking my time on my ride. I'm falling so I'm taking my time on my ride.Taking my time on my ride." I sing the song hearing my soul mate play the song in my head.

"You skipped the first verse and kind of threw me off." he says laughing as I finish.

"I'm sorry. The second verse is my favorite part so."

"It's got a lot of meaning to it that most people don't listen for."

"Meaning is all I listen for." I say flopping back down on my bed. "Guess what?"

"What?"

"You're cute." I hear him laugh and can picture a guy shaking his head. This being the second time I've pictured his figure tonight it forces me to remember part of my lessons. When you start to picture your soulmate you're meeting them soon. Upon remembering this I gasp and smile doing a little twirl around my room.

"What're you doing tomorrow love?" he asks. As I go to answer the question my ears start ringing letting me know that I can't tell him because tomorrow is when we'll meet.

"Did you hear the ringing too?" I ask excitedly. He chuckles making me smile once again.

"Yeah I did." he says. "I'm excited now." I laugh at his response sitting back down on my bed.

"Tomorrow is going to be amazing. No matter what, we're hanging out after we meet. Even if it means one of us has to meet the parents or skip out on our friends."

"Yes it is. I'll finally get to see your gorgeous face baby girl." I blush and hide my face in my pillow. "Now, I want to go to sleep so tomorrow comes faster." I giggle and lay down on my bed.

"Goodnight, baby boy." I say pulling the blanket up to my chin.

"Goodnight, princess."
