A Twin Flame Short Story
by Storm Maverick
In 2015 I just had a karmic relationship that was eating a hole in me. I felt better after a year and decided to go to a bar in my hometown. In 2016 I met my twin flame Pinkbow. I started to flirt with her and I got her number. She was really feeling the connection at the time and I wasn’t ready. In a couple of months I ran from her and decided to ghost her. It took me 3 years to realize I wasn’t hurting cause of my karmic anymore and I shouldn’t have not left Pinkbow behind, but I thought I was moving on.
It was after Christmas in December of 2019 and my grandma gave me extra money to spend since I was only doing music at the time and it was 2 years after my Schizophrenia diagnosis. It was a few days till Saturday and I had this urge to go to a bar specifically on Saturday. I never felt this big of an urge to go somewhere in my life.
That Saturday I made my way to the bar not knowing what I would find. I struck out with a couple of women at this crowded bar, so I just wanted to hangout with my friend who reintroduced me to a woman named Pinkbow. With big smiles on our faces we talked for two and a half hours and exchanged phone numbers. After meeting her again I felt like she was more special than any other woman.
I met her sister and she already had 2 mutual friends. Her sister not only has the same diagnosis as I do, but her sister and I had the same birthday. Pinkbow and I would talk about all kinds of things including my nephew from my middle sister that was just recently born.
Pinkbow later had herself a boyfriend. This relationship lasted 2 years. I wasn't good at talking to women at the time so I didn’t know what to think, so I stopped looking at her Instagram stories and started to leave her alone. This was in the beginning of 2021. A week later she ended up wanting to video chat with me and she let me know that she was missing me. I decided to hangout with her that Friday night at another bar where my best friend was dating Pinkbow’s sister and Pinkbow was going with her boyfriend and I will meet him for the first time. I was the fifth wheel, but really enjoyed her company and it was painful to see her with another man at the time. I started to get used to her boyfriend and he also became my friend.
My birthday in 2021 was special because Pinkbow, saw that I always wear a Batman hat at the time, bought me a bunch of Batman items and she knew I have her back in all cases as well she had mine.
Fast forward to December of 2021 my mother dies. I reach out to Pinkbow and her sister in our group chat and Pinkbow starts comforting me. She said the most loving and nurturing things that really helped me in the long run. She invites me to her birthday party around Christmas. We hung out and enjoyed each other's company.
In January of 2022 Pinkbow’s boyfriend goes into basic training for the Army. I asked if we could hangout. Hesitant at first she gets permission from her boyfriend knowing I am a good guy to hangout with her. Pinkbow and I went to a bar and there was a woman named Amber that will later on become my girlfriend that I knew way back in 2015. So Pinkbow, Amber and I hanged out. All throughout the year it was us 3 hanging out. More people came to our hangouts and we had a huge group of friends that mostly was the same people including Pinkbow and I. All throughout the year Pinkbow and I will go to her house, clubs, bars, the lake, the pool, other people’s homes, ect. We did a lot together.
Pinkbow’s boyfriend barely hangout with his girlfriend Pinkbow that whole year, so Pinkbow reached out to me a lot of times about him to get me to mend her heart. I said what I could and was giving her boyfriend the benefit of the doubt at first, but slowly was thinking he was playing games with her. She at least appreciated that she always had me to talk to and she couldn’t get enough of hanging out with me even though at one time we were both taken in other relationships.
Halloween came and since I didn’t have any money, Pinkbow bought me a scarecrow costume to wear for Halloween as she dresses up as Dorthy from the Wizard of Oz. While we were hanging out she told me Dorthy’s favorite is the Scarecrow. I felt so good about her saying that.
December of 2022 came and she gave me an expensive phone that was the best cell phone I ever owned. I tried activating it, but not knowing it was under her name I couldn’t get the cell phone to work. What started out as trying to get the phone replaced turned out to be a big argument. I wanted the exact same phone, just one that will let me activate it. Even in that argument we still stayed in each other’s lives and hung out some more in 2023.
When Pinkbow became single I asked her out and she didn’t see me as someone she wanted a relationship with because she considered me a brother. That broke my heart. We were hanging out less and less, but I didn’t know why. My father suffered a heart attack that was a widow’s maker that almost killed him in September of 2023. Pinkbow knowing this she stayed my friend until one day, after Thanksgiving, she admitted to me that my dad asked her for a hotel room. I felt terrible about that. No wonder she didn’t want to go near the house. I confronted my dad and he denied it. When I ask Pinkbow if she had any prove she got so mad that I wouldn’t take her word for it that she said to never speak to her ever again.
In January of 2024 we started to hangout again. This was truly the brightest year of our twin flame journey. We showed the love that we could share to one another. All of 2024 she has had a hard year and I was there for her throughout. Around my birthday she even hung out with me 3 times in a week. She truly loves me after everything we've been through and I truly love her. I know we are twin flames because we helped each other grow. At the beginning of 2024, and after we were outside of a bar smoking, we sat down at the bar and started talking. I look at the screen of an NBA game. The score was 111 to 111. I pointed it out to her and felt amazed that the two of us saw 111 as the score from both teams together.
As of now Pinkbow and I Storm Maverick have known each other for 9 years. I was the runner that ran in 2016 and that urge 3 years later to go to that bar was worth it and I can tell God told me to go there. The other half of my soul was waiting for me. Our biggest fond memory is having coffee together with her at her house. I spent the night at her place and we talked that morning while having coffee together. Now drinking coffee feels special to me.
