1001 Love Stories Darker

Worlds(26)

I'm not where I'm supposed to be.

Last night I went to sleep in my shitty apartment next to my high school sweetheart Matt poor and happy.

And I woke up in a mission surrounded next to the girl I dumped for him.

*

I woke up in a cold sweat and was met with a sleepy Jess who groans.

"Shit Daniel. You're waking up too fucking early." She says and I nearly fall out of bed.

"Where am I?" I ask and she rolls her eyes.

"Not funny. Since your up why don't you check on the little shit factory." She says and I realize why I didn't like her even when we dated.

I instantly find my phone and realize it's a few thousand dollars more expensive then the one I went to sleep with and there's some random infant on the screen.

I try my password that's always Matt's birthday however it doesn't work.

So I try the last password I remember having.

My middle name which works.

I instantly look for Matt's number and glare when it's not even my emergency contact.

I only roll my eyes knowing I knew it by heart as I run into the bathroom and dial it.

"Hello." His sweet voice answers and I smile happy I didn't wake up in a universe where Matt didn't exist.

"Hey Matt, it's me. I literally woke up with my crazy ex and I'm confused and;"

"Um who is this?" He cuts me off.

"Matt it's me?" I say felling a little more desperate.

"Who?" He only responds.

"Matt is Daniel!" I shout into my phone.

"Daniel who?" He says.

"Daniel! You're husband Daniel!" I yell again.

"Oh I'm sorry you have the wrong number."

"Mathew Andrew Walker-Smith! I do not have the wrong number I know for a fact I don't it's written on my fucking eyelids how often I use it!" I shout and he pauses.

"Daniel, Daniel Smith?" He questions and I feel my heart break slightly.

"It's Daniel Walker-Smith, your husband." I say.

"Daniel what are you talking about. We haven't spoken since highschool. You're married to Jess right? What's gotten into you?" He says and I fill my heart shatter.

What? No there was no way I'd end up with Jess. There would be no way I'd marry anyone but Matt.

"Meet me. That coffee shop on fifth and parkway." I say and was met with silence.

"Be there." I say before getting dressed rushing from the house and driveling the near hour drive back to my true neighborhood.
