I am 22 and a mom of a 5 year old girl and Yeah.
~present day~
I open my door to get a smell of the fresh air and look down and see the newpaper was delivered.
I pick it up and bring it inside because my daughter said she needed some for a school project.
I go through it to make sure nothing inappropriate is inside.
I see an envelope marked "24 hours"
I open it and see a note.
"This letter states what will happen in t he next 24 hours, don't belive it, see what happens. You will meet someone who will steal your heart within seconds and will be a very important person to you later on"
I rip it apart and throw it away.
Bullshit, that's what it is. I haven't loved someone since my ex boyfriend.
I put the newspapers aside and go to Alex's room (my daughter).
"It's getting late why don't you go to sleep" I said to Alex while opening the door.
"I'm not sleepy"
She replied while yawning.
"Come on I'll read you a story"
She smiled and jumped up and crawled into bed.
I grabbed a book and sat beside her.
I read her the book and halfway through she fell asleep.
I stood up and covered her in the blanket.
I left the room and went on my phone.
~the next day~
I wake up and check the time.
8:10.
I get ready and go downstairs. I make Alex's lunch and breakfast and go to wake her up.
"Wake up sleepy head"
I gently shook her awake.
"I don't want to get up!"
She snapped.
"Too bad so sad"
I lightly laughed.
"Ok I'm getting up."
She stood up and I helped her get ready.
I packed her backpack and she ate breakfast.
"Ok let's go"
"Coming"
I dropped her off at school then went shopping.
The time she is at school is the only time I have to myself.
I walked Into the mall and bought some stuff.
I looked at the time and Alex's school was about to end.
I started to walk a bit faster and I bumped into someone.
Y:oh shit I'm so sorry.
I looked over and saw a guy who looked around my age.
?:it's ok really
I look at his short and see my coffee spilt on it.
Y:oh shit I spilt my coffee on your shirt.
?:it's fine really
Y:no, it's not, how can i make it up to you?
?:give me your number.
Y:oh ummm
?:you know what it's ok
Y:no here, I grabbed a paper from my bag and wrote my number.
Y:here
?:thanks, I didn't catch your name.
Y:maybe because I didn't throw it.
?:I'm Ethan.
Y:y/n
E:well I'll call you sometime, y/n
I looked in his eyes and he is the hottest person I've seen, like ever.
Y:I have to get going to pick my sister up from school.
E:it was nice meeting you.
Y:you too.
I walked out to my car and couldn't get him out of my head.
I picked up Alex from school and dropped her off at her friends house for a sleepover.
I walked up to my front doorsteps and grabbed the newpaper.
I went through it and saw another envelope "24 hours"
I opened it and read it.
"Tomorrow you will have free time and you will spend time with the person you have just met"
This can't be real, bullshit I tell you bullshit.
~the next day~
I wake up to my phone ringing, I answer.
Y:hello?
?:hey this is Sophie's mom, Alex wanted to stay another night is that ok?
Y:yeah, I packed extra clothes for her so you don't need to worry.
Sophie's mom:ok great I'll see you tomorrow.
She hung up and I got ready.
I heard my phone ringing and answered.
Y:hello?
E:hey it's Ethan
Y:oh hey
E:I wanted to ask if you were free today?
Y:yeah actually I am.
E:did you wanna grab a coffee or something?
Y:yeah sure sounds great.
E:should I pick you up?
Y:yeah *Address*
E:ok I'll be there around 12
Y:ok
He hung up and I smiled
~1 year later~
Everyday I have received that letter which states what will happen in the next 24 hours and has never been wrong. And somehow Ethan was tied into every single one.
