I woke up in the middle of the night, needing to pee.
I smiled as i remembered that I had dreamt about being on one of the swings in the schools playground, and Sebastian was standing there, helping me to go higher and higher. .
I knew by now that the stranger was definitely my soulmate⦠Well maybe not so much of stranger any more.
The stories my mom used to tell me was still swirling around in my head and i was still very confused about having found my soulmate when is was only eight.
Before Christmas, before all this, my biggest concern was who and what i would play that day. And If today was going to be my turn to stand up and sing a solo.
Now I spend more time to just think about my soulmate, a grown man. Which was also very confusing.
I had a soulmate. My one true love, they said.
I don't know much about love, other than i know that i love my dad. But not much else.
I'm just a kid.
Kurt Hummel, 8 years old. Though my birthday is in two weeks. And i'm looking forward to that, my dad had given me permission to do a sleepover, so i had invited four of my friends from school over.
Sam, he is 8 and actually my best friend. He always wants to play with me and we always share our food. Also he likes my clothes and tells me quite often.
Daisy, she is 9. The first day at school she told me my voice was beautiful and she asked if i wanted to join the choir. She is in a class over me.
Annabel, she is my best friend of the girls. She doesn't talk much, but she sticks with me and Sam and often just sits and read while we play. She have a nice smile.
And then Casper, he is Daisy's brother. He is almost 10. He's always so sweet and always ask how i'm doing when i'm over at their house and when we meet in the hallway at school.
Sam once told me that he thinks Casper likes me, like really likes me. But i just told him he was being silly and then we both laughed.
I love school and i like being with my friends and i like when we all sits in the choir and sings. That is one of my favorite things. Casper talked about how he would go on this summer camp for music and singers or something like that and said that i should ask my dad if i could go too.
But with all this soulmate stuff going on, i haven't gotten around to it.
Maybe i will soon though. It sure sounds like fun.
My dad talked with me about how he and Sebastian had worked out some kind of sheduele, so that we could talk on the phone and see each other.
I know that it's for both our well beings,because soulmates aren't supposed to be apart.
And as i am only 8, i don't get to stay with Sebastian. Because i live at home and i'm pretty sure my dad wont have me to move out.
So I'm staying here.
It's weird this thing. Because even though i only have meet Sebastian two times i feel like i known him for even longer.
It's like when he is here, i just want to curl up to him and be in his arms.
My dad have told me that is because our the soulmate bond is strong.
But i don't know, i just think it's weird.
We also talked on the phone a couple of times since i saw him last.
It was really weird because i didn't knew what to say and it seemed like Sebastian didn't know either. So it was mostly silence.
But then there had been a Disney movie on tv that. Wanted to see and i asked if Sebastian wanted to stay on the phone with me.
It sounded like he smiled when he told me that he wanted that very much and then he put on the movie himself.
It was very fun, we laughed a lot. And at some point Sebastian even told me i had a cute laugh, which made my cheeks redden and i giggled.
Then he also said that that sounded even cuter and i hid my face against one of the couch pillows.
The second time we talked, Sebastian was at work, apparently he work at an office i'm not sure with what. But when he is not there he have another work where he is a lifeguard, which means he is a very good swimmer.
I can't swim yet, but Sebastian promised me that he would learn me how to do so.
The third time we spoke was because i was sad because i missed my mom. I told my dad that i wanted Sebastian, so he called him and we just talked about all the fun things i used to do with my mom. In the end i smiled as we said goodbye.
I also talked with Travis, that is Sebastian's friend. I asked if they were living together or if they were boyfriends, to which Travis had laughed and said no they weren't.
Then Sebastian had taken the phone, explaining to me that he kind of waited for me to become his boyfreind. That was just so weird, seeing he is so much older than me. But i kind of liked that idea, so i didn't asked more about it.
But Travis seems nice, Sebastian told me that they have been friends since they were kids. Maybe i will still be friends with Daisy, Sam, Annabel and Casper when i am 23 myself.
I also talked with my dad about Sebastian. It was a very odd talk, because he kept saying that if i felt uncomfortable around Sebastian or if he did anything i didn't wanted, i needed to tell him. I didn't really understand what he meant, because why would Sebastian do anything to make me uncomfortable?
My dad told me that because of the age difference, there was cetern things that Sebastian and me couldn't do. When i asked what they where, my dad just said that i wasn't old enough to learn about that yet.
Which i think is really dumb, because why can't i learn about it if it has anything to do with having a soulmate?
When i asked Sebastian if he knew what my dad meant, he said that that was not something we should talk about right now, maybe when i was older.
Maybe there is someone else i can ask about that, because i want to know all there is to know about soulmates.
Tomorrow I'm gonna decide what to make to my birthday, I like baking and I hope my dad will help me do a cake. I look forward to the sleepover with my friends, but also the day after my birthday because then I'm going to see Sebastian again.
