What if there was a temporary bar on your wrist, counting down every year, month, day, hour, minute, second until you meet your soulmate.
Follow Ashton, a small, anxious boy, on his journey before and after meeting his soulmate.
We start at one week.
The numbers on my wrist taunt me, now more than ever.
00:00:07:00:00
I glance at the clock in my room, reading 5:23 pm. Then I glace at my calendar, seeing today's date, November 16, then the date underneath it, November 23.
I take a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves.
I've always been a very anxious person. I have high anxiety levels, I have since I was 8 years old. I'm nervous about everything and everyone. Well, with a few exceptions.
I walk down the stairs of my house, holding onto the railing tightly, scared I'll fall down. I'm a very clumsy person, and I've broken my leg doing that before.
"Mum?" I ask, approaching the kitchen.
"Yes Ashton?" She asks as I enter the room.
My mum's always been a very pretty lady, from her baby pictures all the way up to now. It's a shame my dad left us, breaking the Soulmate rules. My mum's been so preoccupied with work and worrying about me she hasn't found the time to start dating again, with appropriate approval from the Agency, of course.
"The countdown... I-" I sigh. "It hit one week." I whisper.
She knows I've always been nervous about my Soulmate, we even considered getting the bar removed so it'll lower my anxiety levels a bit, but the Agency wouldn't allow it.
"Honey." She frowns, hugging me. "It's okay sweetie, it'll be okay."
I pause, starting to think. Mu mum works at the Soulmate Agency, and she gets to view files and pair people up. She's offered to look up my Soulmate, but I've always declined. What better time than now?
"Mum, you know how you said you could get the information about my Soulmate? Can you do that?" I ask hesitantly.
"Of course sweetie." She smiles, taking out her work laptop.
"Here we go." She says, and I sit down next to her.
She looks up my name, and all of my information comes up. My personality, my appearance, my height and weight, my relationships with people around me, my report card, and my medical history.
