This is a new story idea that I came up with. I'm not going to continue Promises Are Meant To Be Kept, simply because I lost inspiration due to the lack of reviews I received. And i just felt like starting something new.

Enjoy!

Every time God creates a soul in heaven, he creates another to be its special mate. And that once we're born we begin to search for our soul mate, the one person who's the perfect fit for our mind and body. The lucky ones find each other."

That's what my grandmother used to say. I can just picture her now. She would tuck me in at night, my very own room in her house. "Grandma." I would say. "Tell me about the time when you and Grandpa met. Tell me about when you fell in love."

Then she would laugh, her booming loud laugh and say. "Well baby girl I was just seventeen years old, I was visiting my Aunt Bea one summer, my mother had sent me to help out in the farm. I was out picking the tomatoes one day when I saw him looking at me from behind on his tractor; he lived on the next farm and had come to help plow the land. From that day on Sweet Pea we couldn't stay away from each other. One day, a few days before I was set to leave, he took me into the fields. 'Marie' he said. 'I love you. I have since the first time I saw you. Don't leave. Stay and marry me. We belong together.' And you know what I said to him? I told him I didn't believe in all that soul mate, shoul mate stuff. So I left. And you know what Smiley I didn't even last a month without him, I hurried back and married him." Then she would sit down next to me on the bed, kiss my head, and look me right in the eyes and say "Miley baby, when someone comes into your life and tells you that you're the one for them, that you belong together, then remember my advice and stay. Because take my word for it, soul mates do exist."

"Oh Grandma, like that's ever going to happen to me." I would reply, rolling my eyes.

I smiled as I placed her wedding picture into my open suitcase. It had been six years since she lost her battle to cancer. Grandpa had died ten years earlier. Right before she had died she told me that she was happy she was going to meet up with Grandpa in Heaven, where nothing would separate them now.

And about all the soul mate stuff. Well I don't believe in that stuff, well not anymore that is. If everyone has a soul mate than I guess not everyone finds them. The majority of the world does not find the person they belong with. Why else would there be so any people getting divorces. Almost fifty percent of all marriages end in divorce. Including my parents. I guess not everyone turns out like Grandma and Grandpa. I believe in love, but not that everyone finds love. Only a few selected people who are lucky like my grandparents.

"Miley! Lets go! You're going to miss your flight!" My mom called out from downstairs. "I told you to finish packing last night. Now hurry up! You're going to be late! Get down here."

I zipped up my suitcase and looked around my room one more time. It was hard to believe that I wouldn't be sleeping in my bed tonight. The room that I had spent so much time redecorating years ago, I was going to leave behind. I gave one last look at my mint green room before closing the door behind me. I walked down the hallway leading to the staircase, wheeling my suitcase behind me. "There you are. Are all your suitcases in the car? Don't forget your passport." She held it out to me as I made my way down the stairs. "Do you have your ticket? Remember I gave it to you last night."

I sighed. "Mom I have it. Stop freaking out. Let's enjoy the time we have together. Everything will go fine."

She pulled me into a hug. "I know. I'm sorry. I just want everything to go perfect. I don't want you forgetting anything important."

"Am I interrupting an important moment?" Robert, my stepfather asked peeping in from the doorway.

My mom pulled away. "Oh no Robert. I was just saying goodbye in case we don't have time at the airport, considering we're running late. "

"Are you ready?" Rob grabbed my suitcase.

"Yea, just give me a minute."

"Don't take too long." My mother said. "Your dad's out waiting in the car with Courtney."

"I'll just be a minute." I wanted to look at the house one last time. I wanted to remember it exactly how it was. I scanned the room and the house that I had lived in for the past seventeen years of my life. Then I took a deep breath and walked out the door.

The ride to the airport was quiet. Nobody really said anything. My mom would occasionally turn around and ask me if I had everything, but other than that there was complete silence. When we got to the airport Dad parked the car and we all piled out. Dad and Rob grabbed all my bags and we proceeded towards my gate.

The people were beginning to board.

"So this is it. Now remember call us as soon as you get there. Do well in school. And remember to look both ways when crossing the street." She held her arms open for a hug and I fell into them, crying. "I love you." I whispered.

"I love you too honey." She pulled away and wiped away a few tears that were falling down her face.

Robert came up and wrapped his arm around me. "Good luck."

Courtney's mascara was running down her face in streaks. It was hard to imagine her as my stepmother considering she was only twenty-six, but she was sweet and loved my dad. She engulfed me in a hug, her pregnant belly getting in her way, your sister-to be is going to miss you." She said sniffling.

My dad was the last one to step up and hug me. "If you need anything don't hesitate in calling. New York isn't going to know what hit it."

"Take care of Courtney and the baby." And with that I started walking towards the plane wheeling my carry-on behind me. I looked over my shoulder ad saw Rob with his arm around my mother. "Be careful hon. And don't forget to call." She called out.

I boarded the plane and settled myself in a window seat. I pulled my iPod out of my bag and stuffed the earphones in my ears. I looked out the window as the plane began to take off. I watched as Wyoming began to get smaller and smaller as we began to elevate higher and higher in the sky. I groaned as I felt my ears pop and I realized that I had forgotten the gum.

Well I guess I forgot to mention where exactly I was going. Well I was heading to college in New York. To Colombia University.

Nick

"Mom we'll be fine." I assured my mother as she threw her arms around me for another hug.

"That's what I'm not so sure about. I just don't think you guys are ready to go off to college alone."

"We're all going together. So you really don't need to worry."

"That's what worries me the most. The three of you at one school together so far away without me and your father. God knows how much trouble you'll get into."

I looked at my watch. It was ten o'clock; our plane was scheduled to leave at twelve. As always we were going to be late. "Mom we need to get going. Where are Selena and Joe?" Right at that moment my twin sister came stomping down the stairs with about ten suitcases and bags.

"You're seriously bringing all that with you?" I didn't even know she owned that much stuff.

"I'm going to be living there. I need all this to survive." She then promptly placed all her bags next to my three suitcases. Now we just had to wait for Joe.

"Hey guys! What's up?" He burst through the front door, licking an ice cream cone.

Selena looked at him confused. "Where the hell were you?"

"I just went to Baskin Robins to get ice cream."

"Are you freaking kidding me? We're leaving for New York in like two hours and you went out to get ice cream? Are you insane?"

"What's the big deal?"

She folded her arms across her chest. "And I suppose you're all packed and ready to go."

"Wait we we're going today? Damn! I forgot to pack!"

She threw her arms in the air. "Can someone please explain to me how he got into Colombia, spent a year there, and was invited to come back?"

Things were going down hill fast and we hadn't even left the house yet. "Mom we're getting late."

She laughed. "Oh don't worry honey. He never unpacked."

Just then Joe came running down the stairs, a smile on his face. "Guys you'll never believe this. My stuff was all packed. Magic really does exist."

Selena let out a sigh. "Now that it's been verified that there really is magic in the world, can we go?"

My mom went over to her and put an arm around her shoulder. "Your father's waiting in the car. Did you say goodbye to Austin yet?"

"Didn't I tell you? I broke up with him. Long distant relationships never work. Anyways I don't think he's the one. I don't want to be tied down in case I find someone in New York. I want to find real love."

I sighed. Sel and her dramatics.

"Honey you dated him for a year. Didn't he just give you a promise ring at graduation."

She waved off the comment."Yeah on and off. It wasn't like I wasn't seeing other guys. Like I really believed in that promise ring. I had to break up with him before he dumped me." There you have it: my sister the heartbreaker.

At the airport Mom was an emotional mess. "I had to go through this last year with Joseph, when I was loosing one child, now I'm loosing all my children."

Selena went over and wrapped he arms around her. "You're not loosing us Mom. We'll see you at Thanksgiving." Then she went over and hugged Dad. "I'll miss you Daddy. Don't forget to send care packages; candy ad money will be great." She then turned to me. "I'll wait for you guys in line. Don't take too long." She walked towards the gate, lugging her suitcase behind her. She was ecstatic at the fact that she was getting out of here.

It was now Joe's turn. He hugged her. "I'll miss you Mommy."

"I'll miss you too Joe. Take care of yourself."

I stepped forward and my mom wrapped her arms around me. "I'm counting on you Nick. Take care of your sister. Don't let her break too many guys hearts. And well you know Joe, don't let him get into too much trouble"

I chuckled. "Don't worry Mom." And then it was my turn to walk away from my parents, and into a world of freedom."

I sat next to Selena and Joe sat across from us. Just when the plane was going to take off Selena nudged my arm. "Ask Joe where we're going."

I turned around and looked at her confused. "What are you talking about? We're going to New York." Had she gone nuts or something?

"No we're not. Just ask Joe." She looked over at Joe and glared.

I sighed. "Okay Joe where are we going?"

"Pennsylvania." he answered, nonchalantly.

"What do you mean we're going to Pennsylvania?" I asked through clenched teeth.

"I mean we're going to Pennsylvania."

That's when I lost it. "Joe! We're supposed to be going to New York! Why the hell are we going to Pennsylvania?"

"Geez calm down. We're going so we can ride with Taylor. I want to see her."

"Joe you idiot! You were going to see her anyway." I turned to Selena. "How come none of us noticed this on the tickets?"

"It isn't exactly something that usually happens. People are usually sure of where they're going!"

"Why exactly did Mom and Dad let him buy the tickets?"

"Nobody actually thought he was that big of a doofus!"

"Hey!" Joe exclaimed from across the aisle. "I take offense in that."

"Now Joe from Pennsylvania did you book our tickets to New York?"

"Dang! I was supposed to do that?"

Oh God. This was going to be a long trip.
