Hi guys, my name is Charlotte Jem Cassidy, and this is a true story.
I have an ability. I see strings, they connect people. One heart to the other. And the people they connect? They’re soulmates.
It sounds crazy, right?
Trust me, I know.
I’ve seen it happen countless times, soulmates meeting for the first time. It would amaze you how many people meet their soulmates everyday.
On one such day I’m sitting on the school bus readying myself for yet another mind numbing day of school (oh joy).
Already today I’ve seen two people meet their respective soulmates. At this rate I’ll have a new record.
Yeah, I keep track, it’s a bit weird but hey, normalcy is overrated.
The bus comes to a halt and a few people get on.
One person has a string connecting them to someone on the bus.
It’s kind of weird to think about, and I don’t think many people realize it, but a lot of them meet their soulmates in high school.
The bus doors are closing and we begin to move down the street again when a flicker catches my attention.
I turn to see a boy running towards the bus, waving his arms.
I stand up and point him out to the bus driver.
The driver stop the bus and I sit back down.
I notice he has a string connecting him to someone in the bus as he runs on and thanks the bus driver.
I start looking around to see who but I can’t find them.
The boy nods at me as he moves through the aisle.
My ❤️ skips a beat.
My blood runs cold.

I’ve been able to see the Strings all my life. It took me awhile to figure it out though. But the thing that really helped was my parents.
See, they didn’t have a string.
It took awhile for everything to fall apart.
Several years actually.
I was seven when it all went to the dogs.
I still hadn’t told anyone about the Strings.
I still didn’t understand them back then.
So imagine little seven year old me, seeing people connected by Strings. One heart to the other, soulmates and I didn’t even know it.
Sounds confusing, right?
Well trust me, it was.
When my parents started fighting, I got scared.
I had heard of parents who broke up from some other kids at my school, but for whatever childhood fairytale magical reason, I figured my parents would never do that.
Long story short: I was wrong.
After they split, my mom got custody of me, and she started dating a year later.
It took a little while but she finally introduced me to a man who had a String from his heart to hers.
Then one day I asked her if she loved him.
Do you know what she said? "Yes."
Then it all just clicked.
