•Angeline's POV•

The day after Eli left felt like an endless haze. I couldn't focus on anything, and my mind kept replaying our breakup. I sat on the couch, staring at my phone, debating whether to call Alahna. She was always good at giving advice, and right now, I needed someone to talk to more than ever.

I finally dialled her number, my hands shaking slightly. She picked up on the second ring.

"Hey, Angeline! What's up?" Her voice was bright and cheerful, a stark contrast to my current mood.

"Hey, Alahna," I started, my voice wavering. "Eli broke up with me last night."

There was a brief pause before she responded, her tone now serious and concerned. "Oh no, what happened?"

I took a deep breath and started explaining everything to her, from the dinner with everyone to Eli's heartbreakingly honest words. "He said he couldn't keep watching me with Matt, that he could tell there was still something between us."

Alahna listened quietly, letting me spill everything. "And the worst part is," I continued, my voice cracking, "I think he's right. I loved Eli so much; he felt like my soulmate, but there was always this- thing with Matt. I don't even know what it is or how I feel about Matt. But it's there. It's weird; I always thought Matt was my soulmate too."

"Angeline, I'm so sorry you're going through this," Alahna said gently. "But honestly, I don't believe we have multiple soulmates. I think we have one, and I think he's yours... Matt, I mean, not Eli."

Her words hit me like a truck. "What do you mean?" I asked, my voice barely a whisper.

"I mean, you and Matt have always had this undeniable chemistry. Even when you were with Eli, it was obvious. You and Matt were perfect together once, and I think you still could be. You just need to figure out if that's what you want."

I sighed, running a hand through my hair. "But he hurt me so much before, Alahna. I don't know if I can just forget that."

"I get it," she replied. "But maybe it's not about forgetting. Maybe it's about moving past it and seeing if you can build something new together. Just think about it, okay?"

We talked a little longer, but I still felt conflicted. Alahna's words made sense, but the idea of getting hurt again scared me. Eventually, we said our goodbyes, and I decided I needed another perspective. I called Dani and asked if she wanted to grab some coffee. She agreed, and we met at our usual café.

Sitting across from Dani, I felt a rush of guilt. The cozy ambiance of the place with its warm lighting and soft music did little to ease the tension I felt.

"I never wanted to hurt Eli," I began, my eyes welling up with tears. "I really did love him, and I never imagined we'd break up. He was so perfect."

Dani reached across the table, squeezing my hand. "Angeline, I was never angry with you. I could see how much you loved Eli. But I also understand where Eli was coming from. The chemistry between you and Matt is obvious to everyone. Eli came to me about it before he broke up with you."
