Chapter 29 - Forbidden Soulmate

Why aren't you asking me anything, Triston looked at his feet avoiding Jeremy's eyes in their dorm room. Jeremy chuckled softly on seeing how cutely he was acting, because, I already knew you liked her, with the way you look at her, protect her, and talk about her, it was clear as day, made me wonder if she's pretending to not know or she honestly doesn't, he stroked his imaginary beard. So yh, you care too much about her to think of her like that. Jeremy gasped as Triston charged at him enveloping him in a tight hug, thank you so much for saying that, even after liking her for so long I wasn't sure I was doing the right thing, but what you just said gave me courage to keep going, he stated ardently, holding back the tears that were threatening to fall. You're welcome dude, I've got your back always, Jeremy patted his back and consoled him.

Um, are we interrupting, Earl let out awkwardly, they both looked towards the door to see the rest of the Jaded teens gang with confused looks on their faces, of course not, we were just talking, Triston flew across the room and spluttering. What, how could you deny me babe, you know you're the only one for me, Jeremy let out with fake sobs and a sad tone, falling over Triston and rubbing his chest.He's just joking, stop that, Triston panicked on hearing their mocking shocked gasps. Cut it out Jeremy, leave him alone, Mia yelled, the room erupting in laughter as he pouted, and Triston seemed genuinely scared they got the wrong idea.

I can't believe she'd pull that, Edens eyebrows scrunched on hearing the whole Eve drama. I mean, going as me would've been easier, so why take the trouble, Earl asked, resulting in Triston and Jeremy throwing glances at each other. Anyways, I think that was their last warning, Eden let out grimly, if any of you wants out this is your last chance, she warned. Oh come on, would you stop with that, exposing them is equally important to all of us, and we are fully committed to this cause, right guys, yeah, they all echoed to Esmereldas claims.

Yh, and by the way, I I would never let the love of my life do this alone, Jeremy squirmed and tried kissing Triston who shoved him to the floor using his palm on his forehead. Hmph, Jeremy pouted and crossed his arms while Triston smiled clumsily, causing everyone to laugh. Okay guys, I think we should give it a rest, let's stop following them for a week or two, then when they think we decided to give up, we start again, Eden announced.

Whose it from?, Eden flinched causing her phone to fall to the ground, what's wrong are you okay, Earl stood up with the intention of picking the phone up for her. It was just a spam, Eden picked it up quickly and explained with a shaky smile, ermm okay, Earl suspected something, but just went back to bed. Eden enveloped herself in her duvet and stared at her phone screen in awe, it read out, meet me at the cherry cafe by 1 tomorrow, Louise.

Why did you want to meet me, Eden put her purse down on the table, tilting her chin upward, trying to sound stern. Would you like anything, he offered nicely, no, just tell me what you want. You don't need to be scared, Louise tried to calm her down noticing that she had been shaking in her seat. Unbeknownst to Louise, Eden wasn't scared, it was that freaking seductive voice of his that was doing things to her, she bit her lower lip and stomped her foot trying to cancel out those unholy thoughts she had of him. She knew it was wrong of her to think of a monster like that, but damn was he irresistible with his hair let down, and his turtleneck black on black, his lips looked so damn inviting, it didn't help that that was all she could see since she absolutely refused to look into his eyes.

You can look at me, I won't bite, Eden moaned softly rubbing her legs together and biting her lips, is he mocking me, she thought to herself. If you're not ready to talk, I'll leave, Eden sprung up, her chair sliding to the table behind and turned to leave. It feels like I know you, Louise yelled, causing Eden to halt, you seem so familiar, but I know for a fact that we haven't met before, he said as if he was convincing himself, but I think I met your family. H..how, c-could he know it's me?, she muttered, Eden tightened her fist, gathered the courage, and turned around slowly looking him in the eye. Why would I and my family be meeting with the likes of you, she scoffed and smirked before turning heel and storming off.

Eden took heavy breaths as she tried to calm her heart down, what was that, how could he possibly recognize me, did we form some sort of spiritual bond, she rubbed her forehead, stressing and trying to understand the situation. What was that, oh nothing, she replied the driver and sighed, I wish I could understand this bizarre situation, she threw her head back staring at the roof of the car.

Where did you run off to, we just watched 13 going on 30, Eden welcomed with a smile. Oh, I just went out for a short stroll, Louise replied absent mindedly as he took of his coat. Okay, that's fine, we're about to start pearl, join us, Eve called him over, Eden looked over at him and noticed he was spacing out, but decided to talk after the movie. Louise found his mind wandering during the movie, he kept seeing Eden biting her lips, avoiding his eyes, and squirming in her seat, not to forget that sudden cute moan. He smacked himself after he felt a smile form on his face, how dare he think about another woman like that, he thought to himself. He stood up and left, not even looking back at the two ladies who were left in awe.

The truth is, I went to see Louise today, Eden blurted out to Earl after tossing and turning in her bed, and I think he recognized me. What, Earl cut her off, weren't you shocked I went to see him, she asked a bit appalled, I already knew, I guess following the Hazel grey around marred me a new skill. I didn't stay long, so what do you mean he recognized you, she rested her chin on her hand, all ears. I mean exactly what you heard, Eden shrugged, he said I felt familiar, I never took him as the observant type, so I was really just taken aback. Why are you sulking, Earl went over and sat next to her giving her a side hug, I doubt it'll click who you really are to him, and if it does, that doesn't matter really, so don't think about and just go to sleep okay, she rubbed her arm trying to cheer her up.

A shiny figure dressed in white flew towards a magical lake which Eden chasing after it, in what looked like a dream land. Wait, she reached out and chased it, it's purple hair danced in the wind, leaving flowers and petals on every path she flew by. Pastoria, wait, Edens voice echoed, please, explain to me what's going on, I'm so confused, she pleaded. Pastoria tiptoed around a well and turned to look at the distressed Eden with a smile on her face.

You must be wondering why everything is real, and more importantly why all the people you saw die are okay, she started. When you're about to die and you make a wish, I grant it, but in that world that's everything you ever wanted, you're supposed to go on living as usual. Pastoria stopped and giggled, but when you tried to kill your self, the last days of your rebelling were wipped like it never happened, she flashed a proud look.

So that's what actually happened, Eden said in awe, I thought about it, but I didn't think it was possible. Then again I was someone else for a month, Eden rolled her eyes and sighed. I have one more question, Louise seems to remember me, is that even possible, she shivered in wait of the answer hoping it wasn't. What, Pastoria gasped, her playful smirk turned serious, the last time that happened was a hundred years ago, him remembering you, simply means he's your soulmate.
