Here's Chapter 2 people! Don't expect the other updates to be as fast as this one, I just had it mostly written already ;)

After Jake left that table, Amy was left alone with her boyfriend and she looked at him. They both knew it was over. There was no denying it. Their relationship had been nice but there were no sparks. They talked very calmly for a while and parted ways as friends. Teddy decided it was time he tried and found his soulmate.

"Good luck," said Amy before he left the restaurant.

That dinner had been a total disaster but Amy was relieved that she didn't have to pretend anymore. The next day, Jake and her took the perp to drive him to his new location without a word. And the day passed by without a hitch.

After work, she went to see her parents. They were delighted to see her but they saw that something was up.

"Teddy and I broke up," she explained.

"Oh, Mija!" Her mother went to hug her.

"No, I'm fine. Really it was for the best." Amy said and managed to smile for her parents.

"See, this is why you need a timer! You can't just go around dating people who maybe somebody else's soulmate!" Her mother continued "Especially at your age."

"Look at your brother, David. He got his timer a month ago and he already found his soulmate. You should try it." her father intervened.

Amy was starting to get mad. Sure, leave it to perfect David to get his timer and to find his soulmate in record time. Amy was positive he would taunt her about that the next time they would see each other. She didn't really want to get a timer especially since her brother would definitely tease her if she didn't find her soulmate in the next month. But it seemed to be important to her parents and what would she lose by doing it?

After work, Jake went to the timer shop to get one for himself. He was really happy with his decision. He would surprise Sophia and she couldn't be mad at him if they were destined to be together.

The salesman explained everything to him while putting it on. When he finished he had dashes on it meaning that his soulmate didn't have a timer yet. But the salesman told him with confidence that sometimes it might take a little time to adjust and that it was completely normal.

With all that in mind, he went to see Sophia at her place. When he arrived in front of her building he started to be a little nervous and took a deep breath before ringing the buzzer.

"Hey, it's me. We need to talk about what happened last night." He said and she buzzed him in.

He climbed up the stairs and arrived a little breathless. He tried to calm down and then knocked on her door. She opened very quickly as if she had been waiting for him behind it. Jake had a big grin on his face which faded rapidly when he realized nothing was happening.

"Nothing happened," he said.

"What do you mean "nothing happened"?" she frowned. He showed her his right wrist where his brand new timer was. She sucked in a breath but Jake realized she didn't look surprised.

"You don't look surprised" he stated.

"No, I'm not actually. I have known for a while" She saw the look of panic on his face. "For just a short while" she finished showing him her own timer which now had a countdown. "It happened during dinner last night when I looked at it while I was leaving the table it no longer had dashes but this instead."

"What does it mean, then?" he asked.

"That my soulmate has gotten a timer last night I guess and I will meet them in exactly 415 days" she concluded.

"So, I guess this is it..." he trailed on.

"I guess it is, yeah"

"Well I hope you have a great life," Jake said a little sad.

"Thanks, you too. I'm sure you'll find her very soon."

"Right," he said as he left.

Amy is driving back to her place with the thought of getting a timer on her mind. It might be too late to go to the store now so she will go tomorrow. And since it's her day off she can go whenever she likes.

The next day, Amy decides to go to the store relatively early so as not to be disturbed by other shoppers. As she went inside the store she got a weird feeling in her gut, like elation.

The salesperson put her timer and explained everything to her. As it was set up zeros started to appear. She asked the man what it meant and he told her that it was what happened when your soulmate also has a timer and you already met the person. But he told her not to worry because a sort of alarm would go off next time she saw them.

Amy thanked him but her expression fell a little when he explained it to her. As far as she knew, Jake didn't have a timer. She chased the thought away and went back home to make a list of potential candidates, including ex-boyfriends and crushes.

Jake was finally home from work. He was exhausted and just wanted to watch TV and relax. When something strange caught his eye. Something on his wrist. On his timer to be more precise. It now had zeros which made no sense because he is pretty sure that a couple of hours ago there were still dashes. He didn't understand. He tried to think of what could have changed but came up empty.

He tried to look for the notice. He knew he put it somewhere around here but his place was such a mess. After some time, he finally found it, tucked under a cup.

He read the instruction "If you have zeros on your timer, it means you and your Soulmate both have your timers and you've already met." He reads it four times just to be sure. His soulmate got their timer and they have already met. His head was spinning and he repeated slowly " Your soulmate just got their timer."
