I wake up thinking to myself that it's almost my birthday. In our world, when we turn 18 we get an earring. This is supposed to be the same as your soulmates. I'm Eddie and i don't believe in soulmates. Soon it's my 18th birthday and i'm sure i won't get an earring. I get out of my bed and hop in the shower and pick out my ouftig. I eat breakfast and go back upstairs to brush my teeth. I grab my bag and walk to school. As i get to the last corner to school i see my friends waiting for me. ''What's up dawg!" I call out to them smiling. Gaege looks at me and smiles. It's his birthday today. He turned 18 so he's wearing a beany to cover his earring. I pull it off to see what he got. Nothing. I look shocked at him as he slowly tears up. ''Gaege...how..?" I ask him. There are only two reasons why you would not get an earring. 1 your soulmate is dead. 2 your soulmate does not believe in soulmates. I hug him tight. He sobs into my chest. He's been looking forward to meeting his soulmate and now he doesn't have one? I scoff. ''Tch, what bastard would give up on you'' i say kind off annoyed. I love Gaege a lot since he is my bestfriend from childhood. I grab his chin and wipe his tears away. Josh and Mully stand there looking at us. ''Are you okay Gaege?" Mully asks. Gaege slightly nods clinging onto my arm. I pet his head softly and give him a kiss on the head. ''I'll promise you'll get your soulmate Gaege'' i whisper to him. He smiles and blushes a bit. I think to myself that if my soulmate was Gaege i would give believing in it a chance. I look at him while deep in thought. I see a faint ghost like earing in his ear. But as soon as i snap out of my thoughts it was gone. None of the others noticed it. Did his soulmate think about believing in it? Maybe he'll get his soulmate eventually. He's a great guy, no one could not love him. We walk to school as fast as we can because of our little heartwarming moment we were late. I hold Gaege's hand since he still looks a little down. We get to our classes so i say bye to Gaege and head off. The teacher looks a bit mad as i walk in. "You're late again Eduardo. Just go straight to detention this time." he says pointing to the door. I roll my eyes and walk out again. I head to the rooftop since i never go to detention. I opene the door and see Gaege standing at the ledge. I gasp and run to him grabbing his arm. "What the hell do you think you're doing dawg?!" i yell at him with tears in my eyes. "L-let go Eddie..." he says with a stone cold face. "No what the hell Gaege are you crazy?!". "THERE IS NO POINT ANYMORE EDDIE!!" he screams out, tears running down both of our faces. I pull him away from the ledge towards me and hug him as tight as i can. "Gaege you have me okay. You don't need some stupid soulmate if they don't even believe in it or are dead! You got me..." i say almost crushing him with my hug. He sobs in my chest. I pet his head and give him a kiss on his head. "Gaege look at me." i say. He looks up at me, eyes red from crying and his cheeks stained with tears. "Don't ever think like this again. If you don't find him or her i will marry you." i say with a serious face. "Y-you will..?" he says with a blush on his cheeks. I nod and give him a kiss on the cheek. Gaege deserves to be loved, he's been trough so much already. He's an amazing kid.

I wake up looking in the mirror. My jaw drops seeing an earring.

I have a soulmate? How?! I don't even believe in- i stop myself in my own tracks. They believe but i don't... I feel my heart sink as i think about Gaege. Thinking to myself that i'm someone's soulmate but they didn't get that earring. Suddenly i hear my phone ring. I grab it and pick it up.
I hear a familliar voice, it's Gaege.
G: EDDIE!!!!
E: What's up dawg?
G: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
E: Thanks dawg. How you doing?
G: No time to talk about that! Did you get it?!
E: *sighs* yes...
G: Why are you not happy Edds?
E: I feel like crap because my soulmate doesn't have an earring...
G: What? How?
E: I don't believe in this kind of crap Gaege..
G: E-Eddie... what does it look like?
E: *sends picture*
G: I could've sworn i saw the same one appear as a ghost in mine.
E: You think i'm your soulmate? Nah Juice you deserve better anyway.
G: Oh okay... well see you later.
He hangs up. I sigh to myself feeling bad for the person who's supposed to be my soulmate. Maybe they're going trough the same Gaege did...Who know, maybe they're not even 18 yet.

- Gaege's pov -
It's been a few years since graduation and we all have gone our seperate ways. I still haven't found my soulmate. I've kinda given up. Soulmates suck! I work at a GameStop and have a pretty standard appartment. As i finish up my shift i head to my car and drive home. I've been thinking all day and i've decided to officialy stop believing in soulmates from now on. As i head into the building and take the elevator to my floor, i step out and see Eddie sitting in front of my door. "E-Eddie? What are you doing here?" i ask confused and shocked. He tilts his head up and looks at me with tears in his eyes. "Eddie what's wrong?!" i run to him and hug him. "They're gone..." he says with a breaking voice. "Who's gone Eds?" i ask him worried. "They either died or stopped believing in me." he answers. I look at his ear to see the earring gone. "Oh Eds.. I'm so sorry.." i l ook at him and wipe away is tears. "Come one let's go inside." i say grabbing my keys and fidgetting to get the door open. As i get it open i help him up and bring him inside. He pushes me on the couch and gets on top. I blush at the position. He cuddles up into my chest and hugs me tight. "Aww Eddie i'm so sorry..." i whisper quietly. He looks up at me and gasps. "What's wrong?" i ask worried. "G-go look in the mirror." he mutters as he gets off of me. I get up and walk to the bathroom. My mouth wide open as i see an earring. It's the same as Eddie's from years ago, could it be? I run to him and kiss him immediatly. He's shocked but kisses me back. We break the kiss and i look at his ear. It's back. It was me all along.. I start crying and hitting him on the chest. "You idiot!" i yell out. "Do you even know how miserable i was!" i yell after. He grabs my face and kisses me again. "Ofcourse i knew Gaege, but i never thought it would be me." he stops for a second. "If i knew i would've believed from the start Gaege. I love you pendejo!" i kiss him again. "I love you too idiot!".
They soon told the boys and they all were happy for them that they've finally connected after all these years. They lived happily ever after.
