What was my fiance doing stood half-naked carrying Rose? He looked a little drunk, but still. How long had this been planned? He was meant to be going out, not going to a toga party. That's not what he had said. My stomach felt sick. Rose was lowered to the ground. She leant over and whispered something in Zed's ear before slowly kissing his cheek. I cringed.

'What the hell is she doing?' Ben gawped, clearly in shock.

'Are you okay?' Jenni rubbed my arm in sympathy. 'Ugh of course you're not. Come on, let's get out of here.'

It wasn't until we got outside that the true betrayal sunk in. Zed had smiled the whole time, and laughed at whatever Rose had whispered in his ear. He was loving it. Tears brimmed in my eyes.

'I haven't been driving.' Ben said. 'What a ride home?'

Home. I shared my home with him. Could I really face him when he got home tonight? I wasn't so sure. And if I went to Sally and Simon's they would freak out before I even had the chance to speak to him.

'Come on, we'll grab some stuff and you can come and stay in my dorm.' Jenni half-smiled. 'I know how it feels.'

Ben looked at her with sympathy. 'Come on, my car's this way.'

After grabbing some things, Ben drove back to campus. I hadn't spoken the whole time and everything Jenni and Ben were saying were a blur. Ben parked the car and we headed into the mixed-gender dorms attached to the main campus. Jenni unlocked her key, said goodbye to Ben, and we headed inside.

The dorm didn't look like any other dorm. Red, orange and gold fabric had been draped across the walls and there was a matching knitted rug on the floor. There were two beds; one with the standard white duvet set, the other covered with a multi-coloured throw and a selection of differently-patterned cushions. It looked like I had stepped into the middle-east. There were a few photoframes on the windowsill and a bunch of fake sunflowers in a red vase.

'Not what you were expecting, huh?' Jenni smiled, closing the door behind me. 'Don't let the black nail varnish fool you. Oh, and I'm not a hippy either.'

'Didn't think you were.' I laughed. 'The room is gorgeous.'

Jenni looked a little taken aback by my sudden talking.

'Where's your room mate?' I asked as she perched herself on her bed, crossing her legs and arms.

'Never showed.' She shrugged. 'Was disappointed at first, but guess it means the room is mine until someone decides to transfer.'

'I might be moving in so.' I laughed, awkwardly.

'What's he like?'

I didn't need to ask who she meant. And somehow, everything spilled out before I knew what was happening. Except the part about being soulfinders. Instead, I'd said I thought Zed was my soulmate. She sighed and leant against the fabric-covered wall.

'You don't believe in soulmates?'

'Nah.' She shrugged. 'Though I heard a story once about soulfinders.'

My shoulders tensed. Another savant to be wary of? Was everyone in Vancouver a savant?

'Before you ask what a soulfinder is, hear me out, I'm not crazy. Mom thought I was, so she sent me as far away as possible.' She nibbled one of her black nails. 'I can do something... weird. Don't freak okay? I just feel like I can trust you.'

'I know all about weird.' I replied. 'Trust me.'

'Yeah, but this is a different type of weird.' She shifted, uncomfortably. 'I can... calm people down.'

'What do you mean?'

'I noticed it with my mom after my dad left to find his soulfinder. That's a soulmate, apparently, but a real-life one. But dad left and mom kept freaking out... panic attacks, self-harm.' Her eyebrows knitted together as she remembered it and a blue aura surrounded her; sadness. 'I just reached out to her and she relaxed. I thought it was a coincidence, but then I went to my aunt's funeral. I was wishing everyone would be happy, and I looked around and they'd stopped crying. But I did it too much. Mom noticed something wasn't right. She freaked out. Said I was just like my dad. Sent off my college applications to the furthest colleges she could and here I am.' She looked up at me. 'I swear I'm not lying, Sky.'

'I know.' I replied. 'I know when people are lying.'

'Even those that look you right in the eye?'

'Jenni... are you a savant?'

She shifted in her seat again. 'Mom called me that. I couldn't find out what it meant on Google.'

I slowly smiled. Just like me, she had no idea how powerful she was. 'A savant is a different type of human... a human with abilities... and telepathy.'

She snorted before laughing. 'So I'm like Wonderwoman?'

'Go ahead and laugh, but you can't deny that you have a non-human ability.' I shook my head. 'I was the same as you. Zed told me I was a savant and I freaked. He said we were soulfinders and I kept pushing him away, but I couldn't. And now...' My voice cut off, my throat dry.

'Do you fancy a pizza? I'm starved!'

Two medium-sized pizzas later (one ham and pineapple, and one a meat feast), and I felt like I'd made a good friend. At least one good thing had happened that night. I couldn't forget what Zed had done, though. I'd told him I wasn't sure if I trusted Rose of all people. And there he was cosying up to her.

To make things worse, when Jenni and I finally went to bed at 3am I was still yet to hear from him...

The next morning I woke up to the sound of heavy metal music and a vibrating bed. I woke up with a start and it took me a while to remember where I was. Jenni was sat in the other bed, a cushion covering each ear.

'Where the hell is that coming from?' I groaned.

'The girls upstairs.' She replied with a frown. 'I've had this since I arrived. At least they turn it off at a decent hour.'

'But it's so early.' I replied. I grabbed my phone; maybe not. It was 10:30am.

'How are you feeling?' Jenni asked, wrapping the duvet around herself.

'Better.' I half-smiled.

'I'll go grab us some breakfast from the kitchen. Are you fussy?'

'Nope.'

She walked out of the room, still wearing her pyjamas, and closed the door behind her. I looked at my phone and discovered there were no messages from Zed. Great.

Sky!

Speak of the devil.

Where are you? Are you okay? His voice sounded urgent.

I'm fine. I replied, bluntly.

Why did I wake up without you?!

I was never there to begin with.

Oh. There was silence for a minute. I don't remember coming home.

I'm sure there's lots of things you don't remember.

What?

I'll be back soon. Then we'll talk.

I love you.

I shut him out feeling agitated. I was going to let him sweat. Until then, I was going to enjoy a proper student breakfast; a massive bowl of cereal and some value orange juice: yum.

It was midday when I finally got home, after working out which bus I needed to catch. I unlocked the door and threw my stuff down, finding Zed pacing in the living room. After seeing Rose's facebook page over breakfast, I was now well and truly fuming. There were a number of photos of them kissing each other's cheeks. Jenni had already said I was welcome to head back to hers later, as long as I called to make sure she was in. At that moment of time, it was looking likely that I was going to return to campus.

'Sky!' Zed called, rushing towards me.

I stepped out of the way, cautiously. 'Zed.'

He frowned. 'I've seen Facebook. I must have been completely out of it. I'm so sorry, I swear I didn't even drink that much. I only had a few beers.'

'A few dozen more like.' I glared. 'Do you realise how crap you have made me look? How awful you made me feel. If it wasn't for Ben and Jenni-'

'Ben?'

'Don't you dare play the jealousy card with me right now.'

'I'm sorry. I don't know what else to say. I don't even remember it.'

'We're supposed to be getting married Zed! You're supposed to be my soulfinder!'

'I am!' He cried back, throwing his hands in the air. 'Nothing has changed! You're my whole world, Sky!'

'Then how could you do this to me?'

'I... I don't know.'

His phone beeped, and he pulled it out of his pocket. He glanced at the screen and his eyes widened.

'Who is it?' Though I wasn't sure I wanted to know.

'No one.' He replied, gulping.

'Show me.'

'Show you?' He moved the phone away from me, attempting to put it in his back pocket.

'SHOW ME!' I yelled, feeling sick. What was he trying to hide? I reached forwards and grabbed his phone.

You're a great kisser. Call me, Rose xxxx . Attached was a photo. Zed was kissing her. Her lips. My lips.

'You bastard!' I threw his phone across the room, not caring what it hit.

'I swear I don't remember anything!' Zed cried out. 'I love you so much!'

I didn't care. Tears streamed down my face as I went into the bedroom. I filled my suitcase with clothes, make-up and whatever else I could find with my blurred eyes.

'Sky please.' He pleaded, his eyes full of hurt. 'I don't remember anything.'

'I know you don't.' I replied, trying to stop trembling. I zipped up the suitcase and grabbed my handbag. 'Which is why I can't trust you.'

'Where are you going?'

'I need time away. I need to think.'

'Sky, please.' He repeated, following me out of the door.

'No, Zed.' I frowned. 'Leave me alone.'

Phoenix flew in the next day. With her ever-growing bump I'd told her no, told her to stay put, told her Jenni would look after me. She refused. She turned up outside my dorm that evening with an overnight bag. She didn't say anything. She just pulled me into her arms and let me cry. Jenni excused herself, promising she'd come back later with some good chinese food for us.

'I don't believe it.' Phee frowned.

'You don't believe me?' My voice was small.

'No, I believe you. I don't believe Zed.' She shook her head. 'I would never hurt Yves. I just couldn't.'

'He says he doesn't remember. He was telling the truth, I know he was.'

'That's not a good enough excuse for the shit he's putting you through.' She rubbed her tummy. 'Sorry baby.'

'I don't understand.' I frowned, looking at my fingers. 'And aren't the sorority girls supposed to be my friends? They've commented on the bloody photos saying he's 'sooo hot'.'

'I'd say delete your Facebook, but that will stop my plan.'

'What plan?'

'You're going to ignore Zed. Tomorrow night you are going to go out with Jenni, let your hair down and have fun. Hell, I'll even take you shopping for a new outfit with my husband's credit card!'

'I don't want to.' I pouted.

'Well tough luck sweetheart.' She rolled her eyes. 'I can't come out and drink, so you're going to go out with your new friend and enjoy yourself. And I expect lots of photos on Facebook. Show that douche of a boy what he's missing.'

'I can't go out in this.' I said that night to Jenni.

'Yes you can.'

'Have you seen me?' My eyes widened in horror. 'Simon would kill me.'

Jenni's phone camera flashed.

'What are you doing?!'

'Phee made me promise there would be a photo message for her when her plane lands.' She smiled. 'Done.'

'Seriously.'

I looked back at the mirror, feeling totally out of my comfort zone. Phee and Jenni had taken me shopping and convinced me to buy a tight black strapless dress. My hair fell in blonde curls and I had winged eyeliner on. I was wearing huge black heels, which were surprisingly comfy. I pulled my dress down a little.

'You look great!' Jenni rolled her eyes. She was wearing a black crop top with a pink skater skirt and black wedges. Her hair was curly and down. 'Just relax.'

'I swear I've never owned anything this short.'

'Well it's about time you did!'

We ended up spending the night in a nightclub in the middle of Vancouver. We'd had to queue to get inside and it was packed full of people. My heart ached everytime I saw a guy with dark hair that was taller than me. I missed, Zed. My body tingled and relaxed.

'Oi!' I elbowed Jenni playfully in the ribs.

'Stop it and get drunk.' She winked. 'We're supposed to be having fun!'

'Sorry.' I downed the vile shot Jenni gave me and she dragged me to the over-crowded dancefloor.

The Spice Girls filled the room and some people left the dancefloor with a groan.

'How retro!' Jenni grinned. 'This is why Vancouver loves this place!'

'Is it 90s all night?'

'90s and 80s!'

I had to admit, that was pretty cool. And it was. People weren't grinding against each other. I looked around and noticed the room was just full of friends, who were there to drink and enjoy the cheesey music. It was a huge difference from the party the other day.

I laughed and threw my head back, singing at the top of my lungs. Jenni wrapped her arm around my shoulder and joined in.

'You can turn off your powers now!' I told her at the end of the night, as we caught a cab back to campus.

She smiled. 'I turned them off just after the Spice Girls. I decided you were letting your hair down.'

'I had so much fun!' I grinned. 'I've never had a night like that! Even if some of the songs I didn't recognise!'

'Well you've heard a few American classics.' She winked. 'It was the best night though. And as soon as we get back, I'll upload these to Facebook before I get an angry message from Phee.'

I caught a glimpse of my hair in the reflection of the window. 'As soon as I get back, I'm sorting out my hair. I look like I've been dragged backwards through a bush!'

'But it's so 80s!'

'80s music yes, but 80s hair is a no.' I giggled.

As I laid back in bed, I thought about the boy-free day I had experienced. In a way it was nice not having to worry about Zed and what he might think. Though I couldn't help wondering what he thought of my outfit... I shook my head. Tonight was about me, not him. I couldn't give him that satisfaction.

I relaxed in my bed.

Sky, please talk to me.

I rolled over in my bed and sighed.

Not tonight, Zed.

Okay readers- don't hate me please... things might work out... just wanted to keep you on the edge of your seats! Much love and I promise I'll update soon!
