What is a soulmate?

I have asked people I know and what they say is that they are someone you ate destined to be with. How do you know who your soulmate is? I could walking around in a crowd of people and walk right past them.

I have read many books on love and how to find them but they never really gave a clear answer. Some people believe in reiteration; that we grow old and die and then our souls are born again and we can find one another once more.

My name is Liz and this is, my soulmate Clay, our story is unlike any other.

One day when I was about ten, I was at recess minding my own business when …. Some kids were playing soccer near me and wham! The ball hit me in the head and the world went black.

In the darkness I felt something tied to my little finger, I looked down and it was a red string. I decided to follow the string, there were candles lighting the way. I came upon some big doors and the string led inside.out of curiosity, I opened the doors and inside there was blinding bright light.

I walked into the room and as my eyes adjusted to the light, I saw a boy standing there and the other end of the string was tied to his finger. We walked up to each other and took each other’s hands in greeting. We sat under a tree while talking and bonding. Then all of a sudden I woke up in the middle of the field at school with people all around me.

6 years go by…..


I’m high school, I ment Clay in person. We hung out almost everyday, we were in love. One day Clay was in a car accident, but I didn’t know about it. A few days went by and he didn't show up at school. I found out he was in the hospital and I rushed over to see him. Clay was in the hospital getting dischraged, his sister was there with him. I saw clay and his sister talking to a doctor.

Clay walked right past me like he was angry at me or something. His sister came up to me and said their parents died in the crash and she was taking Caly away to live with her. Clay was very sad. Over whelmed with the loss of his parents and knowing he would have to lave me behind. His siter and I leave the hospital to find clay.

I saw him sitting on a bench. I sat next to him and we said our good byes. It was extremely hard. My heart was breaking. I watched Clay and his sister walk out of my lif, proply forever.

A few years go by….

Needing an outlet for my pain, I got into roller derby and ended up being really good at it. One day after my derby team won a bout, my captain said that there was a reporter who wanted to do an interview and that she told me to do it.

I skated up to him and when I saw who it was, I was so surprised I ran into the rail and almost fell over it. The reporter laughed at me and said “ Thats what I look like when I try to skate.” I looked up at him and when he saw my face his jaw dropped and so did my stomach.

He quietly said my name …” Liz?”

“Clay” I said

All the sudden he hugged me. We went to a cafe and talked all night. “ I originally wasn’t going to cover this game but something told that I should. I thought I wasted my time when your cappitan shrugged me off to someone elese but now, it seems fate has reunited us.” I smiled. Ew became inseparable once more and have been ever since.
