"Omg Zoe! I've got them! I've got my mark!"
I ran to my older sister who was curled up on the sofa with Alfie. She smiled up at me "I'm proud of you Joe, now let me see!"
I showed her my wrist. My mark in plain sight, stating my soulmates initials. This was an important moment for all of us because this mark showed who was gonna be my one. They always appeared on your 18th birthday, which was today!
"J.M..." Zoe whispered sweetly, snuggling back into her boyfriend.
"Who do you think it is?!" I was too excited to find out who was gonna be my partner for life, I was actually jumping up and down. Alfie laughed and told me to sit down.
"Well Joe, I don't think you'll find them for a couple of years yet. To be honest, I don't know anybody with the initials JM." Zoe said, trying to calm me down.
"Oh well, you'll find them one day like me and Alf did."
The two of them held up their wrists and showed their marks. Z.S and A.D. They were made for each other.

I just hoped that one day I would find my perfect match and be as happy as them.

6 years later....

All they boys were hanging round mine when our only talented friend appeared at my door.
"Oh Hey Conor! Come in!" I welcomed him and he walked in, revealing what was behind him.
"Say hello to my brother!"

Jack stepped in and looked at the floor, obviously very nervous. He ran his fingers through his bleached hair and shook out his hand.
"I'm Jack, hey..." He said, shaking my hand.
"I'm Joe, nice to meet you." I smiled at him and he returned it.
Suddenly my wrist began to hurt and I clutched it, looking to see what was wrong. Then I saw it, my mark was brighter than ever before. What was happening?
"Hey mate you okay?" Conor asked and I nodded, hiding my wrist and walked into the main room.

I sat down next to Jack and we got to know each other through out the night. He told me all his likes and hobbies but one thing that stuck out was how much he was clutched his wrist, just I had done earlier. What was he hiding?
"Hey Jack?"
"Yeah?" I took a deep breath.
"Let me see your wrist." He hesitated at first but finally gave in and showed me his wrist.
J.S... Wait, those were my initials?

I quickly let go of him and rushed off into my room, my breathing becoming heavy. I had to tell Zoe what had happened so I called her.
Js - Hey Zoe! I need to speak to you right now!
Zs - sure Joe? What's up?
Js - well, I've just met Conor's little brother, Jack, and my mark started to hurt... I got to know him and realised that he was clutching his wrist so I asked to look at it. Then I saw my initials on his wrist so I ran off. And now I'm panicking.
Zs - Okay wow. Looks like you've just experienced a spark. It's where you find your soulmate and you're getting close to them. And it seems that this Jack is who you've been looking for all your life.
I couldn't believe what Zoe was saying. Was Jack really my soulmate?
Js - oh... well thanks for telling me! Love you Zoe, bye!
Zs - have fun Joe, bye

I hung up and just stared at my mark. "JM, Jack Maynard." I thought to myself, maybe he was my one.

A couple of months had passed since my first encounter with Joe. We'd hung out nearly everyday after that and it felt weird whenever I wasn't with him. This day was the same as any other, just spending the whole time at Joe's watching movies and talking.
"Hey Jack you okay?" Joe turned his perfect face towards me and frowned, I hated to see him sad.
"Yeah I'm good! Just have a lot on my mind right now." Just then my mark started burning again. I'd learned to ignore though because it's happened so many times whilst I've been with Joe and I was ashamed.

"Jack? You can't hide your mark forever." Joe said out of nowhere, catching me off guard.
"What'd you mean?" I curled up and protected my mark, trying to hide it again.
"Look at my mark Jack, JM..." And I saw what he on about, that was my name.
"It burns whenever we get close and I've tried to hide it. But now I've thought about it, I shouldn't be ashamed to say that my soulmate is a boy, I should be proud! And you should do the same babe." His blue pools stared into mine and I melted inside, he always had that effect on me. I couldn't hide my feelings anymore, it had become to much to try hide.
"Aw come here." He pulled me closer and placed his lips against mine, the tension and embarrassment disappearing within seconds of his touch.

The kiss deepened and we fell onto the sofa, hands exploring each other's bodies. Fuck, he was good. Then I realised what I was doing and I pulled out.
"Joe, I can't." I shook my head and Joe pouted.
"Jack, you can't ignore your mark. Please just give this a chance, we were meant to be." He stroked my hair and slid his other hand between my thighs, this drove my crazy.
"Fuck it, babe, you were made for me." And I pounced on him, going further than I'd ever gone.

It was true, me and Joe were meant to be and I couldn't deny it anymore. I accepted myself and I had fun for once. Let's just say that Joe is a good partner and I couldn't of wished for a better person to be my soulmate. Thanks so much mark, you were right all along.
