When Destiny Moves along Our Path (Part 2)

...After a short period of time they met, Adam already fell in love with her. Although I'm not surprised, I still find it weird that Adam doesn't call me about this, for the past 7 years i was his first call but i guess everything doesn't stay the same forever. And then i found out that Jenny will be moving to New York after a couple of weeks. I called Adam but no one was answering except for the machine. I went outside for a walk and started looking for him again. I was searching for him for almost an hour now and then i remembered the place where we usually meet, so i went to the old basketball court and I saw him there smoking, I approached him and said "Hey, you alright man? don't worry if you really are meant together, your paths will intersect and there will be nothing, i mean nothing in the world that could stop it".

Adam replied in a shouting and shaking voice "What if we're not? W-what if I'm like a world away from her? i don't believe in fate, We can change our destiny the way we want it, only we can undo what we've done, we write our own lives..i cant just let your so called destiny bring me to her. I'm gonna look for her even if it kills me". Adam ran away and I didn't follow him, I just sat there staring at the sunset and smiled and said to myself "Maybe he's right, Maybe there's no such thing as Fate, Maybe we're all supposed to write our own destiny."
When i quickly came to myself I ran and went to Adam's apartment and I saw him packing his things and said "So you really are going huh. Do you mind if your bestfriend comes?". Adam smiled and threw his towel at me and said "What are you still doing here then? Go to your apartment and pack, meet me at the place where we usually meet."

We arrived at the airport and ran quickly to the ticket booth, when we got to the plane we slept until we arrived at New York. We checked-in at a fancy hotel and slept for awhile. When I woke up Adam was gone. I tried to call his cellphone but he was'nt answering. I went outside again and looked for him but i wasn't able to find him. When I got back to the hotel I saw some people pointing at the top of the hotel and I saw a man at the edge so I quickly ran to the rooftop and I saw Adam there crying. And I asked him "Adam what are you trying to do? what you're trying to do wont do you anything good, it wont solve anything, whatever it is you must face it!".

Adam stepped back and sat at the floor and cried. I slowly approached him and placed my hand on his shoulder and I whispered to him "Adam, dont worry im just here to feel a quick breeze, did you know that life isn't about the amounts of breaths you take, its about the moments that made your life worth living."
We returned to our hotel room again and slept. The next morning I saw Adam at the balcony drinking coffee so I approached him and asked "so its a new day huh?".He answered "yeah, this day brought me another hope." And then I asked him again "So what are you gonna do now?" Then he answered "I'm gonna look for her,even if it takes a year or even a decade". That's when i knew that he's really in love with Jenny but i still cant believe that something prevented me from seeing. I guess this is what they meant by "seeing is barely believing, you have to make the person see to make the person believe".

When Destiny Moves Along Our Path (part 1)

"Please God..Please God..please don't let me suffer..i cannot help but avoid the fear of being left alone"..These are the lines that my good friend Adam always say to God. Here I start to write about his love story and how it became a very colourful one.

Me and Adam used to go to this little beat up basketball court when we were kids, Adam and I are best friends since we were young. We always keep on telling each other that no matter what happens, when one gets lost we will always meet here in this basketball court. I always catch him here crying and looking undoubtedly weak. Now that we're 24 we barely get to see each other because of our own lives and our own jobs that we have to run and do. But we still have connections and all, and then one day he called and asked me to go to the old court that we used to go to, when I got there and saw Adam sitting near the pond just outside the court.

We decided to go to a bar and get a drink since we're already old enough to go there. We sat near the counter and we each ordered a drink and he asked me "So whats been goin' on with you?" with a very wide smile. I answered "Well work is good, everything is good i guess" and then i muttered that i needed to go to the bathroom. So I left him for awhile and ran to the bathroom. When I got back Adam was gone and the bartender told me that the he already paid the drink and told me that he went outside. So I ran to the door and started to look for Adam. After a few minutes of searching I decided to call a cab, but when the cab came i saw someone on the bridge assuming that it was Adam since he's the most dramatic and the worst "I wanna be alone" type of a guy I've ever met. I looked curiously, but Adam isn't alone he was with a girl. Then I slowly walked while scratching my head and smiling. after I approached them Adam introduced me to this girl he met. Her name was Jenny.

Jenny was a very beautiful and nice girl. After 3 months Adam told me that he's in love with Jenny, And then I just smiled and told him "Love is like a trap, when it appears, you can only see its light and not its shadows, you have to make sure about that". He told me "Don't worry, I'm sure about this and it wont end up as bad as we always think it would.

And that's where it all started....................
