Another Soulmate
CHAPTER 1
How They First Met :
it was a rainy night when they first met, the moon shining brightly against the dark sky. the streetlights cast harsh shadows on everything around them. it was quiet save for the occasional car or people walking past, a few dog barking in their vicinity. It's not until he heard someone sobbing he looked behind the fence he looks at his wrist watch and then back to the crying woman before cautiously approaching her.
"hey, are you okay?" he asks softly, holding his hands up as if she might attack him.
she just continues to cry even though he is talking to her. she looks like an older lady with short hair and glasses.
he kneels next to her and puts a hand on her shoulder.
"what happened?" he asks once more.
her sobs have subsided but her face is wet and splotchy from crying. she turns to him and sniffles loudly before answering.
"my little boy… he…" she trails off as another wave of tears comes over her and she starts to cry again. "I don't know where he is!"
"we're going to find him," he says confidently, "do you know what happened?"
She shakes her head, "I've been searching since he went missing, I didn' see a thing! I'm so sorry!"
"hey, it's not your fault." He takes a seat next to her and pulls out his phone. "are there any local hospitals nearby? we could go check them all."
she nods and takes a deep breath before starting to talk again, "yeah. I think he' s still in the neighbourhood." She gets up from the ground and starts making her way towards the direction of where she assumed her son was last seen.
The rain had slowed down significantly by now and the two had managed to walk through most of the area they'd been in. It wasn' t long after this that the woman stopped walking and collapsed into her knees.
he crouched down in front of her again and put a hand on her shoulder once more.
"are you alright?"
she looked up at him through watery eyes and nodded, "i'm fine. i think my baby's still somewhere around here."
Suddenly he sees a girl running towards them screaming
"Mom I have been looking for you everywhere where have you been all it's midnight almost ."
She look at him while panting
while he couldn't take his eyes off her
She wasn't the most beautiful girl he had seen but her eyes had a charm of their own . They were and full of life despite being stained by tears, which made it clear why they were such a pretty color. They were also framed perfectly by those thick lashes which always seemed to move in slow motion. His eyes moved to her lips, which were slightly pouty but otherwise perfectly kissable. Her hair fell freely, covering her face slightly, almost concealing whatever secrets she might keep. He took a few seconds longer than necessary to notice he was staring again. He snapped out of his trance and turned to her mother.
"sorry," he apologized. She apologized
"Pardon me for all the trouble my mother caused you".
she said while picking her mom up from the ground , she began shaking dirt of her mother's clothes
while her mom started crying and sobbing again "I can't find my little boy anywhere, oh god! where is he?"
the child looked apologetic as well
"we'll help you look for him," he assured her, "if you can give us any clues where he could be."
"no, he isn' t far," the mother said
"Enough mom you need to take your medications ". the girl said
While her mother started having seizure and her daughter kept yelling at her in a language no one understood. The boy stood up, grabbed onto her hand and helped her up and pulled her towards the the house she pointed towards
when they finally reached the House the Girl unlocked the door and they finally carried the woman to her bed .
The girl then thanked him and introduced herself
My Name is Anna Cooper and My Mother is Shelly Cooper
They were silent for awhile as they stared at each other.
He decided to speak first
"what does she mean she can't find him anywhere?" He asked
Her gaze fell and her fingers tapped against her arm
"well my brother was kidnapped three years ago and he never was found ". ever since that tragic incident my mom has been like this she often rushes out of the house looking and Searching for my Brother".
he said ,"Must be really hard keeping up with her."
Anna said ,"Oh it definitely is. By the way you haven't introduced yourself yet?".
He chuckled and introduced himself "My name is Evan , Evan Griffin "
Anna: "Please to meet you Mr.Evan.Thank you for all you did for us."
Anna looked him up and down and said
"Well it's past midnight and the weather is stormy you should probably stay with us tonight if you don't mind?"
Evan : "Well that certainly would be nice "
Anna: " Great I will go and get some tea ready for you ! "
Evan sat near the fire place to dry his coat from the earlier rain as Anna approached him with a cup of tea
