You're My Sister Soulmate, Scratch the Sister.

Chapter 1

You like my basic bitch chapter photo? Yeah, I know you do.😉

James' POV

"Omg! You are literally James Charles can I please take a picture with you?"

I drag my attention away from my wrist and quickly cover it with the sleeve of my jacket as I look up into the excited eyes of a fellow sister.

"Of course babe." I try my best to shake off the thoughts that plagued my mind only seconds ago and smile brightly for the camera.

"Thank you so much, I love you." I can't help but to give a genuine smile at that.

"Aww I love you too sister!" I lean in for a hug and after another exchange of 'I love yous' she's off. I watch as she leaves out the door before taking another sip from my venti Starbucks drink.

I close my eyes as I take a big gulp and look back down at my covered wrist. With one last resounding sigh I gather my things, wave goodbye to the two excited waiters working the cashier, and leave the empty cafe.

'Back to reality'

———————————————————-

"James, babe, I'm sorry to say but...your makeup is looking mighty gloomy today." Cassie looks at me suspiciously as I scroll through Instagram on my phone.

I just got done making a YouTube video for 'a look to wear to your ex's funeral' and I'm actually quite proud of the outcome.

I shrug my shoulders nonchalantly,
"Well having a soulmate that's surprised you're NOT a female might have someone feeling a bit depressed."

I had just turned 19 and when I did the phrase appeared.

'Wait, you're a guy?'

It was supposed to appear when I turned 17 but when have things ever gone according to plan in my life.

The responding sigh that resounds after is all too familiar.
"James you are fucking beautiful, soulmate or not you will find your special someone." I look up at Laura with a look of playful disgust.

"Love is for the weak, I'm done with it." I side eye Laura's own wrist noticing the bold letters.

'Fuck, you're gorgeous'

I knew she had found her special someone when she came to my house with it showing. Your soulmate tattoo only becomes visible to others after that special someone has said the words to you.

Must be nice.

I sigh softly as I look back down at my phone. There behold another couple, shoving their soulmate induced happiness in my face. Cute asshole.

"James I don't have a soulmate right now and I'm still not depressed."

"Key phrase 'right now' Cassie. You don't have one for now but you'll definitely have a chance with him in the future."

"James-" Laura begins but I honestly don't want to talk about it anymore. This really isn't a conversation I'm too fond of.

"Look guys, it's fine and I'm fine. Emotions are running high right now because a bitch just got the news but I promise by tomorrow I'll be perfect." I finally look up from my phone to attempt a reassuring smile at both my friends.

"James don't even try that crap. What you're going through isn't easy and just know that we're here for you." Laura sends a comforting smile my way after Cassie says these words and I'm left with a lost of any.

Cassie smiles playfully before giving me a quick kiss on the cheek.
"You should know better than to hide from us, you can't do that."

"Wow I love you guys like so much." I run my hands through my hair as I smile back at them.

"Thanks."

"No problem, anyway we can't have you all sad and depressed tomorrow." Laura jumps in her seat excitedly, leaving me extremely confused.

"Yeah uh what's going on tomorrow?"

Cassie slowly turns towards me, an expression beyond surprised sketched on her face.
"Bitch, what?"

With wide eyes I look back at her.
"Ok, well, that definitely answers all my questions."

Laura jumps next to my position on the couch.
"You forgot tomorrow was the drag event?! James you've been looking forward to this."

My hands fly to my open mouth as her words register. Oh fucking sister shit! I totally forgot about the drag queen event going on tomorrow.

I had signed up to be there only a short while ago. It wasn't supposed to be that big of a deal, just a little fun event to participate in.

'But I forgot all about it!' 

"Crap! Ok well it's fine my outfit should still be in my closest and I already had my makeup planned out a week ago."

Cassie still has the beyond shocked expression on her face.
"Okay what have you done with my favorite sister because you are not her."

"She's been occupied with others things but she should be back and better than ever by tomorrow morning." I say with a hint of a smile on my face.

"And that is what we like to hear!" Laura shakes my shoulders excitedly and I, I just take the abuse because I love her to hell and back.

"Ooh la la, look who's on your screen James." I look at Cassie confused before picking up my phone.

'Oh'

"That is someone way out of my league-"

"What do you mean-"

"And straight. Not the straight that really isn't straight but the straight that really is straight. He is as straight as a pole a stripper dances on."

Even as I say that dismissive statement I can't help but look at the picture for just a few seconds longer. Looking back at me is a shirtless Grayson Bailey Dolan. One of the two famously known twins of YouTube. Surprisingly I've never met him outside of the screen, not even at award shows or YouTube parties.

'He's hot as fuck, goddamn my weakness for heterosexual males'

Even though I know there's absolutely no chance of anything happening between him and I, I won't deny that I've spent more than just a few seconds eyeballing his Instagram photos. I don't know why but every time I look at him I get this feeling that I just don't understand.

"Earth to James freakin Charles."

'Oh that's embarrassing'

I look up from my phone as my cheeks turn a heated red. I just know by the look on their faces that I've been staring at the phone for far longer than a few seconds.

'Kill me now'
