He opened the door and first we see nothing. My heart is racing and my arm hurts because of the damn horror driver. A thousand and one thoughts were competing against each other in my head and I feel my hands shaking.
Why does this happen to me, what did I do wrong? I should have just stayed with my aunt and uncle in Scotland and accepted their suggestion to work on their farm.
My thoughts were brutally interrupted when someone turned on the light.

We are standing right infront of a sleepy Ash. All those thoughts that were in my head a mili second ago were gone and left me alone.  And you guessed right I turn red again. His eyes widen as he realizes the situation.
"What are you doing here?!" He said going slowly backwards and with nearly a monobrow. I wanted to turn around and go, but the scary driver still got my arm and I hang there like a piece of clothing. When Ash realises that I am not here voluntarily, his eyebrows finally touch each other and he comes strutting to us. "Let her go don't you see that she is really uncomfortable?" He grabbes my other arm and fumbles the hand of the driver off of me. I can feel a slight tingle in my skin right were ash has his hands, but this is only the shock.
The driver lets both his hands fall and looks at us slightly devilish. Ash pushes me carefully behind him, without looking away from the driver.
"You two are soulmates, you just haven't realised it yet!" He says and Ash looks confused to me. I shake my head "I'm sorry I accidentally took the "magic" can and now he thinks that this will change my life forever, just don't listen to him, we have to get him out!"
"Oh okay" is all Ash says with a confused expression on  his face while looking to the driver who has now a paper in his hands " what is this?"
" It is the form you get when you found your soulmate and somebody who is familiar with the symptoms" he points at himself" has confirmed the situation. So congratulations you are officially soulmates in front of the government"
I am speechless , I didnt know that there are people who are this crazy, the 'form' will probably just be a sentence and a signature from the insane man Infront of us' "Can I have the form please? This can't be legally true!" I say and take the piece of paper, but despite my thoughts it is a well worked out form which really applies to the government. I just look at it in shock.
"Can we get devorced or something?" Ash asks, I nod that's a good point. " No I'm sorry but this a thing you can't change its like your natural hair colour, you can dye it and everything but it will be forever your natural hair colour."
"So theoretically we can still have a normal love life and partners like we want?" Ash asks, for him it's a good question, because I won't have a love life and I don't want him to think that he would have me when noone else wants him.
" Yes theoretically, but practically you will be sad if you see her with someone else and you both will never feel like this around other people, but each other. And you can only get married with someone else, when both soulmates agree with that " He looks at us, "so is everything clear?  Good I will go now and help the next couple to their luck."  He grins and walks away.
I'm in shock. This can't be true. We just stand here without saying a word both deep in our thoughts.
" Hey I am so sorry I took that cab, but you can still live your life normally and have a normal love life, I will also agree to marriages and so on. Are we cool?" I asked, I just wanted to get out as fast as possible.

" Yeah same with you, yah we're cool." He says "it's probably the best when we exchange phone numbers and copy the form so we both have an exemplary embodiment of the form at home." He says.
" come we copy it so you can go home". While the paper is being copied we exchange phone numbers.
Now we stand at his door "Can you tell me where exactly we are?"
" Yes to lincoln center, right?  When you come out the front door you just have to go right and at the little cafe with the roses infront of it left and then you are at the back of Lincoln center!" he said while moving his hands as though he was showing me where to go by imitating the way with his hands.
"Okay thank you, byeeee!"

And now I am walking past the little café. What a weird day, I hope tomorrow will be a quite and calm day.
Oh wow he was right that's just a 5 minute walk from Ash to us. When I enter my dorm, Cassie who already came home, lies on her bed in her party dress and looks like she's dead, I go to her and check but she's still alive. Than I change into my pyjamas and do my night time routin before I go to bed and instantly fall asleep.
