My Killer Soulmate (Tronnor AU)

Chapter 2//Troye

Troye

_____________

Finding my soul mate isn't exactly a priority when I have a job that makes me hate myself more than anything in the world. I work for Dan and Phil, but really who doesn't, but I'm employed in one of their less glorified jobs. How I got to be in this line of work is kind of complicated and something that I don't like to think about often. It's just not something that's all that pleasant to think about. I wish I could say that it was something that is easily blocked out but that's just not the case. It basically plagues my every thought seeing as my whole live revolves around my work.

When I was 13 I started to go through this stage where I didn't listen to my parents and I was just acting like a total "rebel." I hung out with a bad group of kids and I did a lot of things I'm not proud of. By the time I was 16 my parents had had enough of me so they sent me away to live with my aunt who had moved to America a few years before. My aunt absolutely hates me and she kicked me out after a year when I was 17. I lived on my own jumping from place to place to place for a whole year before I saved up enough to buy a plane ticket to Los Angles. I don't know what I was thinking since I know absolutely no one in L.A. I was eighteen when I got here and I didn't have anywhere to go and no source of income. I don't how I even survived but eventually someone found me sleeping in an alley. This person was a friend of Dan and Phil, his name was PJ I haven't seen him since that day, he brought me to Dan and Phil and they gave me a job that no one wants. They told me it was the only job that they had available.

That was three months ago. Right now its the middle of the day and I've just gotten back from a meeting with Dan and Phil. I lie on my bed thinking about what they've told me I have to do. They told me all about him this time for some reason. They told me what he looks like, what he likes to do, they told about his family, they told me so much stuff that I didn't need to know about him. I don't know why they would do that to me. They know that I like to know as little as possible because it makes everything so much easier. Knowing all this stuff about him is just going to taunt me. Its going to make me wonder what would have happened had I never had to do what I'm assigned to do.

I run a hand through my chocolate colored locks as I flop onto my bed. I need to stop thinking about this for awhile. My assignment isn't for four more days that gives me way to much time to over think everything. All am I going to do for the next four days is obsess over all the stupid details they told me. I need a shower to clear my head.  

I strip out of my clothes carelessly leaving them on the floor as I walk to my bathroom. I turn on the shower looking at myself in the mirror before I take of my bracelet that covers my numbers. My eyes pratically bulge out of my head when I see the numbers on my wrist. 00:04:13:21. No when did the numbers get so freaking low? It was like 6 days this morning what the fuck happened to make me meet my soul mate sooner? Four days? I'm meeting my soul mate the same day that I have an assignment? Fuck my life. My soul mate is probably going to hate me when they find out what I do. Or maybe my clock will hit zero but there's won't. I've always thought I wasn't good enough for anyone anyways.

I step into the warm shower with way too many scenarios running through my mind. I can see so many things going wrong. What if we hate each other at first? What if because we hate each other we leave each other and never fall in love? 

"Fuck. Troye stop it." I get out of the shower and start drying off as I try to get the thought of my soul mate to be out of my mind. How are they going to love me when I do something so terrible? I'm going to have work to make them love me.  I wish I could just work in the fields that I want to. I wish I could just act and sing and model all the time.  No Dan and Phil had to give me the worst job they could find.

I text my friend, Tyler knowing that he'll still be at work. I ask him if he wants to go out for drinks tonight. Knowing Tyler he's going to say yes. Tyler always seems to need a drink. He hasn't had the best of times lately. He found his soul mate awhile ago but the problem is Tyler isn't Connor's soul mate. I know what your thinking aren't I too young to drink in America? Yes, but Phan made me a fake idea so I can drink and run errands.
