It's been almost a couple of weeks since I met my soulmate. I've realized that Mark may be my soulmate, unless another new customer came in and I didn't realize that. I've been hanging out with Signe, who was the girl who just moved into the apartment across the street, and color has not spread anywhere.

Oh, also, I found out that Felix's eyes were blue when Signe gave me a book on colors. Turns out there are lots and lots of colors, and some colors have loads of shades. As of now, the only color I see is the blue in Felix's eyes. The rest is still in grayscale.

Tonight, Melanie will be leaving on a transatlantic flight towards my home country, Ireland. I was the one who suggested that she goes to Ireland first since it's closer than Sweden, which was Felix's suggestion. Also, it's cheaper. Anyways, I asked her if she wanted me to go with her so she has someone to guide her. She refused and told me to stay and look for Mark.

Speaking of Mark, I have no idea where he is. He's gone missing. After I met him, I never saw him again. I don't even know anything about him; just his first name and his occupation. That's not enough material for me to use in order to stalk him. I went onto YouTube once and searched "Mark". Loads of videos appeared and I was too lazy to go through all of them. I didn't even bother searching him on Twitter because I'll probably get the same result. Then again, I should've expected it.

Anyways, after today's shift, the squad and I'll go to Melanie's apartment to hang out with her. Melanie won't be going to work today since she's preparing for her trip.

I walk into the café hoping that Mark would walk into the store at some point today. The daily routine is followed as usual. Cry comes in and drinks coffee with Felix. I served the early customers. Cry leaves, Felix goes to the counter to help me serve customers and then rush hour starts. We continue taking orders and making drinks until lunch when the next shift comes in.

With every moment that passes by, I keep looking for Mark. I keep expecting that he would go walking into the café. But he didn't. He didn't come in. He hasn't come into the café ever since we met. It's not like I have any means of contacting him.

I don't even know why I'm looking for him. I mean, I don't love him. I've fallen in love twice before so I know how that feels. Maybe I'm just infatuated with him. Maybe it's because he's supposedly my soulmate and I'm just concerned about him. I don't really know; all I know is that I really want to see him. At the moment, that seems to be the most important thing to be done.

Once again, I'm disappointed that I wasn't able to see him. It's been like this for a long time, but I don't let it drown me over so that my friends won't notice. Well, until now.

While Felix and I were walking, Felix asked me, "Are you alright? You're a bit off today." "I just wished that I got to see Mark today. It's been a long time since I last saw him. I don't even know why I want to see him," I answered. "Maybe it's because he's your soulmate. Maybe you just want to see more colors, or maybe you just think he's handsome. You are bi after all. I don't know. We're not even sure if he is your soulmate," Felix replied.

I rolled my eyes and punched his shoulder lightly, "Of course he is, I could feel it." Felix retorted, "Yeah sure, because you're a master of soulmates all of a sudden." I rolled my eyes once more. We joked around for a little bit when Cry arrived. We all got in and drove all the way to Melanie's apartment. I persuaded them to drive by mine first since I had a small gift to give her. Just a little something for her to remember me by. They idled the car by the sidewalk while I rushed into my apartment. I grabbed the envelope and the scrapbook on the coffee table and jogged my way back to the car. Then off we go.

When we walked into Melanie's apartment, it wasn't obvious that she was about to go on a tour around the world. Her decorations were still up; but then again, she wasn't moving away, she's just about to go on a world tour. Even though a lot of things remained untouched, some things were missing from her shelves and surfaces. These things weren't that noticeable at first sight especially if you didn't know their backstory, just like her rabbit plush. That stuffed animal was the first thing I've ever given her on our first friendship anniversary. To be honest, I didn't even know that that was a thing. She just text messaged me that morning, "HAPPY FIRST FRIENDSHIP ANNIVERSARY JACKABOY!" Then followed up with, "I'll meet you at the café, I'm already here," and, "I have something for you get your lazy ass of yours from your bed. I know you just woke up." She knows me too well. So before I went to work (yes, I risked myself getting late to work just to get my best friend a gift - best friend ever), I walked around town, looking for something to give to her. I passed by a toy store - and I have to admit I got attracted by the toys on display by the windows. While strolling there, I saw this pile of stuffed animals being displayed in the middle of the store. I remembered the fact that Melanie wasn't able to have her own stuffed toys during her childhood. So I got her an adorable, tiny bunny rabbit. That's her favorite animal of all time.

Speaking of Snuggles (that's what she named it - don't judge her), it was missing from her bed. I noticed it when I passed her bedroom on my way to the kitchen to help Melanie cook. Aside from a couple of memorabilia, some of her favorite books were also gone from her bookshelves.

I gave my gift for Melanie during our lunch. It was a short letter, telling her how much she means to me, how I hope that she won't forget about me, how I'm thankful for everything that we have done together. Inside the envelope, along with the letter, was a SD card, filled with pictures, videos and random shit of all us together. Then there was also a scrapbook for her to use on her travels. She promised me that she'd read it during her flight.

I really didn't want her to go. But she wanted to. And there isn't a reason for me to convince her to do the opposite. As a friend, I have to support her decisions, even if they're difficult for me to handle. Besides, Felix and Cry are together, I might've found my soulmate. As her best friend, I didn't want her to be lonely while her friends were hanging out with their significant others. I don't really have a choice.

God, why am I being so emotional? She's not moving to Antarctica for fuck's sake. Guess I'm just used to having her be with me every single day. We'll still talk, Skype and remain friends.

After we ate, Cry carried her luggage to the car. Felix wouldn't stop hugging Melanie. I realized that without her, I'd be the third wheel in our group. Help. Me. Please.

Once Melanie was ready, and by that, I meant that we were all ready to let her go, we all got into the car and traveled to the airport to say goodbye to my greatest friend of all time.

Hey guys! I'm finally back! I know, it's been a long time. Loads of things happened. School. Break-ups. You know, life. I don't really want to go into much detail since I don't like it when the author's note is literally longer than the chapter itself.

As of now, I can see myself be more busy since I'm running for my school council but of course I'll try to update even more regularly because daaaaammmmnnn I missed having an outlet of my feelings. 

Speaking of writing, I honestly want to start a new book, maybe even a series, it'll be based on what was my love story. Emphasis on was please. Was. WAS. Enough emphasis? Yes, I'm still hung up over this guy. Dammit. Anyways, it'll be a Septiishu fic, not Septiplier because a.) while I may be bi, we were a straight couple; b.) it feels weird to write about my ex and I as Septiplier but not so much when I imagined us as Septiishu. I'm really sorry if you wouldn't like this but this is MY story, literally. If you're interested in this, I might be posting the first chapter soon... Once I actually finish it. Hihihihi

Anyways, if you want to be updated about my whereabouts and the happenings in my life, go follow me here! I don't really use my Twitter and Insta that much so yeah. It's almost midnight here so I might sleep if I don't end up writing another chapter. Babaiii :)

P.S. 

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR 500+ READS OMG THANKIEESSSSS MWAH MWAH
