Part 13: West Coast Friendship

Adam was never someone who used to message a lot. He only ever did that with Brielle or for a specific school project with classmates who he's pretty sure no longer remembers him.

But he smiled up at his phone at 2 in the morning when read out "tayalisonswift sent a message".

tayalisonswift
u up?

owlcity
thinking of me? 😘

tayalisonswift
-_-

owlcity
what's on your mind, sunshine?

tayalisonswift
ok first you have to promise you won't make fun of me

owlcity
that's not fair. u can't make me promise that ahead of time

tayalisonswift
fine then good night

owlcity
ok ok!! I PAWmise

tayalisonswift
ok
i've been thinking about...soulmates

owlcity:
...
oh?
:)
:))
:)))

tayalisonswift
NOT YOU
just like, in general

owlcity
ok, what about them

tayalisonswift
nvm, it's stupid

owlcity
aw, come on
I didn't even get the chance to not make fun of you

tayalisonswift
well, it's not like i'll even have one so there's no point talking about it

owlcity
you might tho

tayalisonswift
my friend Inez says the statistical probability of having a soulmate is like negative one billion, she basically said it was bogus... to my face ;(

owlcity
that doesn't even make sense
that's just. not how statistics work. lol

tayalisonswift
whatever!! the point is, im not going to have a soulmate. end of story.
so no need to catastrophize about it

owlcity
HA
CATastrophize

tayalisonswift
that was unintentional, just because im a cat person doesn't mean i intentionally make cat puns.

owlcity
sure, sure
but why would you even be worried about it? it's a good thing?

tayalisonswift
is it? it just doesn't seem right

owlcity
wym
explain
elaborate

tayalisonswift
idk, the idea that the universe is the one that picks who you love
instead of you picking for yourself

owlcity
i don't see it that way

tayalisonswift
ok well how do you see it then

owlcity
i think a soulmate connection is different from love

tayalisonswift
??

owlcity
i mean, you can love someone who isn't your soulmate, right? most people do, since soulmates are so rare anyway
so the soulmate bond has to be something different from love
