Fates Collide

I’d say it was a pretty normal day up until that point, all I was doing was walking to Biology and all I could remember was accidentally bumping into someone. I remember helping them pick up their books and what not and walking away. It wasn’t until sixth period that I thought back on that moment and had realized that I hadn’t apologized. Feeling terrible I looked through the crowds of rushing students, almost as if I were trying to keep my head above water trying to stay alive. I didn’t find her that whole day, and the more I reflected on that moment the more pertinent it felt, almost like that event had to happen in order for the process of something to begin. As the end of the day neared I felt a pain in my head and stomach, it gradually overtook my body and I fell on the floor jerking violently. I clenched my jaw so I wouldn’t bite my tongue and then everything faded to darkness. When I “woke up” I found myself in a large field I panned the area to see if I could find anything. Eventually I began to walk in one direction which I thought was North but I was unsure. When I was walking for some five minutes I started to panic I knew this place was a dream, but it felt so real. I began to hyperventilate and quickly caught myself. I fell down to my knees and began to pray:

“Dear Heavenly Father, today I come before thee to ask for your guidance, to please tell me why you have brought me here. Heavenly Father I know without a shadow of a doubt that anything can be done with your assistance and guidance, I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.”

As I opened my eyes I saw in the distance a dot. With new-found strength, I ran as fast as I could to that dot and as I neared it, the shape began to take the form of a human, then its features became more defined. I gasped when I realized that it was the girl from this morning, we just stared at each other knowing we had some divine connection. She raised her hand and for some odd reason so did I. On both of our ring fingers there was something that was not originally there, a ring. Now I say a ring because they were exactly the same we stared at each other with pure intent and knew why we were brought here. I woke up in a cold sweat and this time I was in the school nurse’s office, when I turned to examine the room the first thing I noticed was her. She was on the bed next to me as if having the same dream as I did. I laid back on my bed and smiled to myself. A few minutes later she woke up and did exactly as I did, but this time I was sitting on my bed watching her. She looked at me inquiring if the same thing happened to me and if I knew what she knew. I slowly nodded my head. I got up and sat next to her on her bed and we just stared into each other’s eyes, knowing nothing had to happen, knowing the rest will take care of itself.
