Soulmates: Gotta find my destiny

“Erm, actually, I think I kinda forgot it” I said softly.

“Whaaaaat?” He said stopping the car in the middle of the road. And then pulling us aside.

“Did you really forget your passport? And when you were planning on going to another continent? Wow, you’re so smart!” he said giving me the you’re-so-stupid look

“I never thought of it, and even if I had, how was I supposed to get it? my mom has it somewhere in her room. Fuck . what am I gonna do? Ugh hell no! I can’t waste this opportunity, I’m sure I’m going to be grounded for life, and this is my only chance to meet my soulmate” I said starting to freaking out, how did I forget something so important? I mean forgetting that my phone was dead is something, but forgetting my passport? Ugh.

“Relax, you dumbo. It is just 11 am, and thanks god you just turned 18 last month, we can go to the foreign office and ask for an urgent replacement of your passport, I think that in about a few hours you will have it” He said turning the car to the opposite side of the road. Wow, he has improved his driving skills, last time he drove me home I really though I was going to die.

We arrived to the office at 11:30am and waited til 12pm for the man to assist us. I told him I had lost my passport and that I needed a new one urgently.

He told me I had to wait until 6pm for it to be ready. And that it will cost 400 dollars.

Fuck.

“435 plus 1500 = 1935 minus 400 = 1535” I thought to myself, okay I still have money.

I paid and waited at the McDonalds behind the office. Alex was still with me.

“You are really going to make it up for me, I sneaked out of classes to drive you to the airport, and now I’m stuck with you all day in a McDonalds because miss I-always-forget-everything forgot her passport” he joked breaking the silence

Shit, I forgot it was Friday and that he had classes. I really need to make it up to him

“Sorry, I will I promise” I said a little bit down.

“It’s a joke bud, you can count on me, beside I hate my new school, but if I get grounded I will blame on you” he said taping my nose

“Deal” I said giving him a smile.

We ordered and chatted, I really missed him, we were laughing all the time, and when we noticed it was already 5:30, so we returned to the office

Even if we were early the passport was already done. A lady gave it to me, and I signed it.

We hopped in the car, and Alex drove to the airport, when we arrived it was already 7:30 pm. We rushed to buy my ticket

“May I help you?” Said a very polite lady

“Yes I need a ticket for the next flight to London, please”

“Okay” she said starting to look to her computer

“Next flight, it’s at 10:00pm and first you’ll arrive to Mexico City at 12:0am and then your connection to London will leave at 2:00am landing at 4:00 pm, London time, is it okay miss?”

“Yes! It’s perfect!” I said with a huge smile.

“It will be 1,250 dollars, please” She said smiling.

Fuck. Not that perfect. Instantly my smile disappeared and I started calculating again

“1535 minus 1250= 280 dollars” Now I’m really screwed.

“Is it an one-way ticket?” I asked really hoping that it was not.

“Yep” She said.

FUCK.FUCK.FUCK.FUCK! I have the worst luck in the whole world.

But this time, I was finding my destiny; I wasn’t going to give up.

“Okay, I want it” I said handing the lady the money

Alex gave me an are-you-sure look, but I just ignored him.

“Can I have your passport miss?” She said, and I giggled a bit.

“Of course” I said giving her my brand new passport. She smiled and gave me my boarding pass, indicating me that I should be at gate A4 at 8:45pm

We started walking to the Starbucks that was inside the airport. We sat a little and then when it was time, we walked to the security area.

“Bye, thanks for everything!” I said giving him a little hug

“You don’t have to thank me, well actually you do” he said laughing “but you know I'm doing this just because when I meet Megan Fox you’re gonna help me bud”

I tapped him in the arm and he gave me a smile

“No but seriously, do you need something? A little money, maybe?” he said getting his wallet out.

“No, man, really, you had done a lot of things for me, I don’t even know how im gonna make it up to you”

“Next time I’m in Puerto Vallarta, you’re going to buy the alcohol” he said

“Deal” I said waving him goodbye

“Wait” I said, when I noticed he had turned away.

“What?” he said looking over me. I ran and hugged him tight, it was a really long hug.

“I’ll miss you”

“Shut up, you’re going be away just 1 week, you promised to be back on Sunday! And plus, you will not miss me, you will be with your ‘soulmate’, ‘Mr. Niall perfect Horan’” he said with a girly voice.

I laughed really hard and then I started to walk away.

“Dumbo” he called from the distance. “Buy a phone and call me maybe” he said singing the last part. I nodded and laughed a bit, and then started walking again.

“Don’t be a slut” he screamed at last. “No promises” I answered him showing him my middle finger

I went through security and walked to gate A4. I waited until it was time to get in the plane.

The plane took off and after what it seemed to be 2 minutes we arrived to Mexico City, now it was 12:15 am. And I had to wait 2 hours ‘til my next flight; I was really nervous. The waiting was eternal, and after 3 years of waiting, the airhostess announced that my flight was the next one. I took my seat and locked my seat belt. I was ready; I was going to find my destiny…
