Clockwork

I stopped in my tracks frozen. Nineteen years had lead me to this moment. She had a black eye and a sharp knife of a mouth. I wanted to laugh, I wanted to cry, I wanted to go back home and awake from this nightmare I was living....

The Clocks were made to keeep the peace, after overpopulation lead to a war Time was kept to better stabalize the population by matching you with your soulmate. With a technology that matches you with your seemingly perfect other half, dates and times are imbedded into your wrist which slowly fade away the closer to your perfect other half you get to.
For Adam he's found his other half, but she does not exactly fit in with his good guy reputation.
For Clara, her clock had run out of Time, twice.
For Josie her clock is still going, and Drew, the sex crazy fourteen year old, finds his other half in someone half his age.
All leading up to the possibility of another war, if one of them doesn't accept what they have is all they have.
