Part 1
^You can run, Rose, but you can't hide^ Sheridan thought, staring out the darkened window.
Not a highly original thought, he was well aware of that. Rose should have known better.
"It would have been easier if you could just /forget/ her. There must be a reason she ran away."
The petulant whine of Monica, Rose's former best friend was not something Sheridan wanted to hear. The annoying witch was really starting to get on his nerves. She'd been hanging around him a lot lately. At first their interests had been mutual - find Rose and bring the deserting bitch back where she belonged.
Lately, Monica had been much more friendly. His friend Marius thought he was insane. With her ample chest, long legs and lustrous blonde hair, Monica was a great catch for any guy.
As far as Sheridan was concerned, Monica could rot in hell. His only love was Rose. She was his /soulmate/. Soulmates were meant to be together, forever.
"I'll never forget Rose," he said bluntly, turning to glare at Monica, his sapphire eyes flaring. He tucked a strand of loose curly red hair behind his ear, turning to sit down at his desk. Deliberately ignoring her, he turned on his laptop.
In the reflection of the computer screen he watched as Monica shook her head, sliding off his bed. At least she was smart enough to know when she was defeated. "Why do you think she left you, Sheridan?"
Sheridan turned his back on her, hands gripping the edge of the desk below the window. It was a question he didn't particularly want to answer.
The discovery of his soulmate connection with Rose had been the best thing that had ever happened to him. He had never imagined such a wonderful thing could happen to him.
Why had Rose felt so differently?
"Go away," Sheridan growled through gritted teeth. He would find his lost soulmate. If he had to go through heaven and hell, he would find Rose, and make her his.

Dear Diary,
So far everything is going according to plan. Okay, truth be told, I didn't actually have any sort of plan, I just up and left and hoped everything would work out for the best.
Naïve of me, perhaps, but I had to leave Logan and Gloria. That's probably the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I miss them so much it hurts like a physical pain that's like burning coals in my chest where my heart should be.
Oh...I'm crying again, I'm getting my words all wet. I should have been excited to get a soulmate, and it wasn't like Sheridan is all that horrible, he's good looking and all, and another Night Person...but I already had Logan and he was everything I had always wanted in a boyfriend.
When you have a boyfriend and then discover a soulmate connection, what are you supposed to do? I know how much I hurt everyone, but I didn't know what to do.
I'm only eighteen, I haven't even graduated yet, but I had a little family of my own...then this soulmate was thrown in and I panicked.
Could anyone accept that I had a human boyfriend and a half-breed daughter, that I had run to protect them more than to escape from the unwanted soulmate?
I was praying for it.
