Boquet

Date: 6/28/2019

A young girl 15 or 16 depressed and half contemplating running away or ending it all is hanging out with her friends driving around in a 1950s looking car. The scene is the past but I'm not sure what year. While out, she comes across a boy a couple of years younger than her and by chance they take him along for the ride, but I can't remember why. After awhile an older gentleman that is almost her father's age meets her and something clicks, she has a small crush and he joins them, but again I don't know why. They begin to realize that they are being followed by maybe a detective? Long tan coat and bowler hat. They all think they're in trouble and try to avoid him. They continue to drive (everyone.. the friends, kids, and older gentleman in the car). The background looks slightly off color like an old movie (oh brother where art though style) with large plains. They are stopped on the road by a couple of parked cars. The detective looking man steps out of the one of the cars. He approaches the car and he looks at the girl and calls her a bouquet. He has her come out of the car so he can talk to her. She's confused why he called her a bouquet, but he soon explains what a bouquet is. He tells her that she's been chosen to find love between the two people she had met that day. The boy and the man. She would also be given many chances to try again. They do not explain who chose her nor anything else and leave them there. The girl believed it was fate and already knew it was the older man. So they loved each other and spent their life together and maintained close ties with all the friends that day and they never thought about the man from the road much other than a weird story. One day the older man dies of old age and the young girl, now a woman, decides to kill herself. She wakes up in her bedroom 15 again, but moving forward in years, it's not the past. Her, her mother, the older man, and her friends are all younger too and all remember that they have already lived one life and all that happened in it. The boy a few years younger never remembered, but his age would do the same. (I guess cause she didn't choose him) They all took the opportunity to live their lives over again the same as they had before, since they were all happy the first time around. This repeats a few times. They realize that they only have 20 chances before the chances are over when they find a bouquet spread sheet one day from those that chose her. Many life times go by. One day the girl wrote her mom a letter and said she loved her and that she was sorry, but she was hanging herself as the old man had died again. Her mother runs to her daughter's room where her daughter is hanging when the rope breaks for no reason. As the daughter falls to the ground she transforms into a 15 year old again and gets up running and gives her now young mother a hug. The girl is upset. This is chance 20 and she starts to think about the boy they met those many lifetimes ago and what if? She thinks on it for many years until she's in her 30s. She decides she will find the boy, get to know him, and make a decision. The older man and her friends do not like this. They had all become so loyal to one another and did not like this choice. But she had to know. She met the boy that was now a man and simply talked, but she enjoyed the talk which gave her a twinge of guilt for not talking to him all these life times and also guilt to the older man she had loved them all for. Talking became more over weeks and they dated. Her friends would come around and chastise her constantly. Dating sparked feelings for one another. The older man was exasperated over it all, but left her alone. She was afraid how strong she felt for the boy and how quickly and that someday she may have to make a choice and how that might affect her being a bouquet and what the people that chose her would think and what was it all for? Did she make the wrong choice from the beginning? Then Brad's alarm went off.
