Justin grabbed my hand and twirled me around on the side walk. An old couple who were sitting at a coffee shop with outside tables smiled at us. The elderly man chuckled, "I remember when we used to be like that." The man winked at Justin, "you better appreciate it while it lasts. Once she has a few kids you aren't number one anymore." I blushed and hid my face with my hair. Justin sent me a soft smile and brushed the hair out of my face, "I'm okay with sharing her as long as she's always happy." I locked eyes with him and smiled, "really?" He kissed my forehead, "you're my soulmate. My other half, of course I'll support you and stand by you in what ever you decide. Unless it's totally idiotic and I know you'll regret it." I rolled my eyes but smiled nonetheless, "you've already been around me when I was terrible. I think you can handle me now."
The old woman huffed, "Tommy, why do you have to be a jerk. We used to be like that. You could act like him more often." I smiled politely, "we really should get going. It was lovely to meet you." The woman sighed, "I'm sorry about my husband. He hates seeing young folks who walk away from their soulmates and he's given up on your generation." Justin frowned, "sir, I've been in her life since she was a child. I've spent my entire life loving her and when the snap happened... I missed her growing into the beautiful woman she is today. I planned on growing with her and helping her become this person and it was taken from me. I missed so much time with my soulmate, but I would never change it because if I did. If I gave everything up to change the past five years then I wouldn't have my soulmate who is kind, brilliant and strong. I know I will never take her for granted because I've already lost so much time with her and I don't want to lose another second."
The woman smiled, "don't let this one go." I smiled at Justin, "not again." He sent me a wink and chuckled, "we really must be going. Have a wonderful day." The elderly couple smiled at us.
As we walked away Justin whispered, "you are my world, you know that?" I kissed his fingers that were interlocked with mine, "yeah. I know. Justin," "hm?" "I love you." He stoped walking for a second and smiled, "I love you so much."

At Quil's
As soon as we got to the hotel I smiled as I saw Quil waiting on the couch. Justin chuckled, "go have fun. Quil will drop your off." I smiled softly, "okay." He kissed my forehead, "have fun and be safe." "I will. Don't get into trouble, especially if your hanging around my brother." He chuckled and nodded before he left the lobby. Quil smiled at me, "hey, beautiful." I smiled and shook my head, "hey," he got off the couch and walked up to me. He put his hands on my waist, "what do you want to do today?" I wrapped my arms around his neck, "I actually want to show you something." He raised an eyebrow, "ohh?" I chuckled, "I promise you're going to love it." He smirked, "oh really?" I rolled my eyes, "Oh stop it." He chuckled, "baby," I smiled, "Come on!" He shook his head and pressed his forehead to mine, "Lila, you don't have to plan anything for me." I smiled, "I know. I just want to make you happy." He pulled away form me a little, "I'm happy. I'm happy just holding you." I put my head to his chest, "I know that. I also know that one day you're going to have to go back to space and I can't stop you. I want to enjoy every second together before that happens." He hugged me to his chest, "baby, I'm not going anywhere. You're my soulmate and nothing will separate us for long periods of time." I huffed, "don't say that. Not when everyone just got home. Not when half of the population went missing for 5 years." He sighed, "we came back." I shook my head, "we all thought everyone was dead for 5 years!" He kissed the top of my head, "Lila, listen to me. Justin and I aren't going anywhere. Even if we go missing for another 5 years we won't really be gone. We will be with you always." I sniffed, "Peter." He picked me up, "baby, don't cry." I snuggled into him more, "I-I don't want to lose you." He sighed and kissed my shoulder, "I'm not going anywhere." I sniffed again. He sighed and started walking somewhere. I was place on something soft peter ran his hands from my waist up to my arm. He kissed my head "I'm right here. I want to see your beautiful eyes." I let him remove my arms from his neck and pull away slightly until he was kneeling in front of me, "there's my beautiful soulmate." He brushed my tears off my cheek, "Lila, you need to talk to Justin and I about these things. We aren't going to leave you but you need to trust us-." "I do trust you... I'm just scared of-." I paused and looked down. Peter cupped my cheeks, "scared of what?" I sniffed, "I'm scared of being completely honest. I'm scared of admitting my problems and pass to you guys. I-I don't want you to hate me." Peter gave me a confused look, "we could never hate you." I shook my head, "you will. Once I tell you what happened you won't want to be my soulmates any more. I'm useless and broken. I'm not worthy of you either of you." Peter looked sad, "don't say that. You're our everything and your perfect and amazing." I shook my head, "I-I can't..." he put his head on my knees, "okay. But when you are ready to talk about it I'm always here." I brushed my fingers through his hair, "thank you." He smiled up at me, "I mean it Lila, you're my everything." I smiled, "I love you." He tackled me to the bed and hugged me to him, "I love you too!" I smiled and laughed at my dork of a soulmate. I knew then that I had to tell them what happened to me... even if I didn't want to. Dad had already taken care of it but i still had the mental trauma. I needed to tell my family and soulmates what happened...
