In your second life you will meet your soul mate and fall in love just like your first life. Accept this time something will feel slightly familiar about the, but not so much that you can remember it exactly. The circumstances you meet your soul mate will always be different.

Jake road his motorbike along the highway. He'd just got out of prison and was on his way to the next town along to disturb the people of the town and hopefully wake them up and make them see the impact that music and love can have on their lives. He passed the sign of the town to fast to read it and carried on driving until he reached the town square. He noticed his bike began to sound weird as he pulled over by a bar titled "Sylvia's Honkytonk Bar".

Jake laughed to himself as people came rushing from all directions to see what all the noise was. Most of them just stared. One man dressed in overalls was checking out his bike, standing by a woman with who looked like a waitress. Next to them there was a small girl who was trying to straighten her skirt and talking to a skinny boy with glasses. He'd decided he liked these people without even talking to them.

"Hey guys," He said walking over to the group of people "The names Jake. I'm just a roustabout with a song in my heart and a love for the ladies" Jake said with a wink in the girls' direction. She smiled and blushed, although the woman didn't seem to like him and gave him a look that could kill. "I was riding my bike and it started to make a jiggly-wiggly sound, not good. I need a mechanic" he sighed

Jake saw the man's face light up. Business had been slow this year at the gas station "My daughter is the best mechanic in town" he said loudly and Jake heard gasps of the name Marley from all around him "She can fix any bike in under an hour" the man smiled widely. Jake couldn't help but smile at the girls' name. It was cute. He agreed to have his bike fixed by her and the man led him to the gas station.

He walked into the back of the gas station and saw someone underneath a Chevy. He smiled thinking that must be her "Hello? Are you Marley?" He asked and she came from underneath the car. She smiled nervously when she saw him, tucking a strand of hair, which had escaped from her ponytail, behind her ear. For a while they discussed the bike and she began fixing it.

"So Jake," Marley smiled, wrench in hand "When do you plan to leave this town?" She asked tying the arms of her overalls around her waist. "I mean, I want to get out of here too and I was wondering if you needed someone to keep you company on the road" She said ducking down behind the bike to hide her smile

"Im sorry little darling, but I ride alone, unless I find that special someone" Jake sighed "And I don't like getting tied down to people so I doubt that will happen" Jake moved closer to the bike and watched her examine all of the parts. She reached into the engine and started fiddling with the parts like her life depended on it. She'd be lying if she said she wasn't upset that he'd turned down her offer.

They heard something click inside the bike and Marley pulled out a small scrap of metal and smiled "That is what your problem was" Marley said placing it in his hand and accidentally wiping the engine oil across her face. "Maybe that special someone is right in front of your eyes. She might not be the prettiest or the most confident and you might have to look past what she looks like to see the real her and how perfect you'd be together"

And as she finished speaking their lips crashed together. Jake's hand held the back of her head so she couldn't pull away. Marley smiled and moved her hands to the back of his neck, playing with the fine hairs that were at the top of his neck. Their lips moved in time with passion and they both felt the sparks flying between them. Jake had never felt like this about anyone before. It amazed them both that they could feel so much love in a couple of seconds for someone they had only just met moments before.

Jake eventually pulled away and saw Marley, her eyes filled with hope and happiness. She blushed and looked away nervously and Jake gave her a comforting smile in return. Marley giggled slightly as Jake pulled their lips together again. "Marley, your perfect but I'm not good enough for you" Jake sighed stroking her cheek

Ryder strolled into the gas station and watched the whole affair going down. He couldn't help but feel a stabbing sensation of jealousy. It should be him kissing Marley and not that leather jacketed, trouble stirrer that just waltzed into town. Just as they separated for the second time Ryder walked into the room "Um…Marley, Your Dad wants to talk to you" Ryder said awkwardly fixing the position his glasses rested on his nose.

Marley sighed unhappily and said goodbye to Jake. Little did she know that would be the last time she saw him. As soon as Marley left the gas station Jake cleaned up his bike, left the money on the counter and fled the town. He couldn't get tied down to someone, that's not what he wanted. After Marley had talked to her Dad she went back to the gas station to find that Jake had left. She felt a tear run down her cheek. She'd never felt like that about someone before and he just left, without a warning. As soon as Jake left he knew it was the biggest mistake he ever made.

A/N: Hey guys, back with a second chapter already! This chapter is based on my favourite musicals, All Shook Up. I changed the ending a lot. I'm going to try and write the next chapter today as well :)
