'Change'

Your POV:

The thought hit you hard as if you were just punched in the stomach. Your stomach started to knot while you began feeling overwhelmed. Sweat slowly began dripping down your neck while your brain attempted to process it all.

"That date is the date i'm going to die!" you exclaimed while placing your head in between your hands. Nothing was making sense. Nothing seemed right. How does one even keep calm when they know that's the day that they are going to die?!

"I haven't even got a special someone as yet and i'm dying?! What about all those dreams of meeting those famous singers and bands? I haven't even gone sky diving nor driven a luxorious car. Why is this even happening to me! How? Why!" you yelled in distress.

"Wait, if i die, that means no more paying taxes and bills! I won't even have to keep up with everyone's crap anymore. I'll be free!"

In the blink of an eye, the door creaked opened to reveal a tall yet handsome man in his young twenties, nearly the same age as you. He was wearing glasses and had messy dark chocolaty hair with deep brown orbs. You didn't look up because you were still in debate with yourself whether you should be excited or should you be in tears. 

He was one of your colleagues who was a close friend of yours. You both grew close through work and have had each others back ever since you started.

"(Y/N)?! What's wrong? Did your pet die or something? Is it that time of the month again? Um uh did your boyfriend dump you? Did,"

"No, (H/N) i'm going to die so i'm just tryna decide whether that's good or bad" you said quickly,cutting him off.

His eyes widened while looking at you. He was in mass confusion and was trying so hard to decode your emotions from your still face. Was it a moment of sadness or joy?!

"And um how, how do you know all this (Y/N)?" He inquired softly not breaking eye contact.

"I got this ring in the mail which has the same date as my flight to Sydney on it. I don't know what else it could be hinting at apart from the fact that that's my death date" you said with distress.

He instantly smacked the palm of his head with his forehead and sighed. The face of confusion now changed into a how do i respond to this situation face.

"You do realize," he said with a pause, "that you might as well be interpreting this the wrong way right? And even if whatever your saying is true, you can always choose to escape your fate or accept it.Maybe that day is the day your life changes into something great."

You glanced at him with your eyes displaying the chaos that was currently taking place in your mind that your face refused to show.

"Yeah i know but still," you replied overwhelmed.

"You probably got that death thought after watching final destination movies didn't you?" he questioned with a grin since he knew the answer to it.

"Okay maybe!I like those movies okay," you replied trying your best not to smile.

"Anyways, i just came to tell you that your travel agent just called and they might be changing a few things about your trip. Colette's talking to them and tryna manage," he said.

Maybe this change was going to be for the best or the worst.

Only time would tell.
