As I sat on that icy cold metal bench under the awning of the bus stop, all I could do was stare at that dreaded timer on my wrist. My hands were shaking, and not because it was in the middle of winter, white snow falling from the dark sky. Street lamps and car headlights illuminated the busy street. People walked on the sidewalk, looking through windows of shops and small restaurants.

That was when my heartbeat started to pick up. My eyes stayed glued to the numbers growing smaller and smaller every moment. The air was filled with the scent of diesel. I started to tap my foot in anticipation. I could feel every tick of the changing numbers vibrate throughout my entire body.
30 seconds.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFmhl10KMw
The rise and fall of my chest was quick and nervous. Puffs of breath were seen in the freezing winter atmosphere. The sounds of the traffic and bustling people diminished to a dull static, the clock getting louder and louder in my ears.

That was when I heard the footsteps. I willed myself not to look up and stared at the timer as the last tick reverberated within me and silence fell.

"Excuse me, do you mind if I sit next to you?"
A voice snapped me out of my trance, and all the static of the world became clear again. I looked up.
There you were.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOYPhK62QK
And holy shit, you were beautiful.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA37VgaSq2K
Your pale skin contrasted your hair wonderfully. Red dusted your cheeks from the cold. Those eyes had to be the most pretty shade of green I've ever seen. Your facial features were slightly obscured by the darkness, but I could still see the beauty that was you. The small smile that graced your lips was so warm, I almost melted. 989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHUYhvNaQS
You looked around my age, if not slightly younger. The scent of coffee drifted into my nostrils. You probably worked night shift at a cafe.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeMpsskep6
"You're my soulmate." I blurted out, dumbfounded. How could a girl this perfect be mine?989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTriSfYCD9
Your smile fell and your eyebrows furrowed. "Pardon?" you asked, confused. I straightened up. 989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCqiOUQR5s
"You're my soulmate," I repeated. "See?" Holding out my wrist towards you, you took it, looking down on the now still timer. Your mouth gaped open, and shock was on your face.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgA7HyfSa9
Oh no.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqNKaIAUOx
You stayed silent, staring at my wrist. I chuckled nervously. "...What's wrong?" 989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbT3DYtSAg
You finally looked up.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURGEv8X3W4
"I am so sorry."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY21dG8fqnP
It was barely a whisper, but I heard it. You let go of my wrist and pulled up your sleeve. You held your hand out to me. My heart dropped.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaioN0YmOF
Your timer was still counting down.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg7MXpxBer
"No," I whimpered, hands clenched at my sides. "No, no, no, it has to be some mistake." Tears formed at the corners of my eyes. I felt like I was suffocating.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqvG23W0Om
I finally found my soulmate, and I wasn't hers.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ApoHEe28U
"Are you okay? I'm so sorry. If there's anything I could do--"989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bHKEyUr5C
I didn't realize I was walking away. I could hear your shouts from behind me, but I paid no mind. It was a blur of sounds and lights. My feet did all the work, carrying me in my empty shell. I felt nothing but heartache. Blood dripped from my wrist.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUVj0Wc0JH
The glass that cased the timer away in my skin broke. Shattered.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sMLM0P8q7
The last thing I heard before everything turned black was your voice and a car horn.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EJ7wSwTTr
