John was laying there on the ground, wanting it to end and the suffering to stop.

Flowers started slowly blooming from his wrists once more.

Sitting up, tears running down his face and falling to his lap. Why did his soulmate hate them self? Why did they do this; hurt them self.

A whisper came out of Johns mouth, quiet and barely there.

"Why?"

Standing up and walking to his bed, he sat down and started sobbing. Wishes for the flowers to stop growing were always present in his mind.

John moved to laying on his bed. Crying as quietly as possible and slowly falling asleep.

~Timeskip to 3 months later~

John was on his computer, talking to his best friend who he had met online.

His name was Dave. And one thing about Dave was that he was different and very similar to John.

Dave hadn't met his soulmate yet and as viewed as one of the weird kids.

Both kids had a history of depression and you may be guessing, neither knew that they'd known their soulmate for the past 6 years.

The two had never video chatted, barely even knew what each other looked like.

But on this faithful day, John asked if Dave had skype.

Dave replied that he did and they began the tricky task of adding each other.

Once they had finally figured it out, both John and Dave were nervous. Neither had talked face to face in their entire time of knowing each other.

John clicked the video call button and waited while it rung. Dave was two hours ahead of him in Texas with their time zones.

He never expected to see the most handsome person he'd come across.

Dave smiled as he looked at John, "Hey. It's great to finally be able to talk to you face to face."

His slight Texan accent barely showing in his words but still present.

"Yea, now I can see all your so called "cool kid" dougebagery in person."

"Oh whatever Egbert. I can see now that you're a huge nerd as expected."

It continued on like this for hours, the two of them getting to know each other better and learning new things.

Things were going great until the point of soulmates were brought up by Dave.

"So John, are you still having issues with your soulmate?"

John sighed and looked down at his wrists, remembering the horror of last night when the flowers started to once more bloom from his wrists.

Johns soulmate did not only cut their wrists but would cut their thighs from time to time and did reckless things that would end up with them being injured.
