This is my first x-men story, so bare with me.

Just to let everybody know there might be some spoilers in here for all three movies, so make sure that you've seen them before you read this.

Disclaimer: I do not own x-men or x-men2 or x-men 3 or x-men comics…haha I think you get the idea. I don't own anything.

Rogue peered out her bedroom window and watched Bobby and Kitty skate around the newly frozen pond. Rogue couldn't believe her eyes. She had been suspicious all week about who Bobby had feelings for, and this just reassured all her worries. Feeling betrayed Rogue turned away from the window, choking back a sob, and began emptying her closet. Finding a duffel bag in her closer she stuffed her belongings into it, and grabbed her jacket. She checked the hallway making sure it was clear then snuck out the secret passage.

Watching Kitty skate around the pond reminded Bobby of a date he and Rogue had last month. He had taken her out to this same pond and just watched her skate around. Bobby was just realizing how familiar Kitty and Rogue looked.

"Bobby, are you okay?" Kitty asked, skating up to where he was sitting.

"Yeah." He said slowly while standing up.

"Where are you going?" She inquired, watching as a wave of emotions scattered across his face.

"I'm sorry Kitty, I, I have to go, I just realized something." He stated, starting to turn around.

"Bobby! Wait! I, I thought you liked me?" Kitty asked in confusion.

"Kitty." He whispered, tenderly. " I do like you, I might even love you."

"Then why are you leaving!" She interrupted.

"Just let me finish." He started. "Yes, I might love you, but as a little sister. Rogue is the only one for me, and I just realized why I was drawn to you in the first place. In addition to me being frustrated, Rogue and you are very similar, and you reminded me of her. I'm sorry, I wasn't meaning to, but I used you, and I hope you can forgive me."

Turning around Bobby ran into the school and raced up the stairs to Rogue's room. Sprinting through the hallways, he finally stopped when he reached Rogue's room. Standing there awestruck, he was frozen, staring at a small piece of paper. Something in his gut was telling him that this small piece of paper would change his life.

Bobby cautiously peeled the note off the door and opened it.

Bobby,

I've tried for a while to ignore the inevitable, and just think that I'm being paranoid. Unfortunately, the signs are too strong now, and I have to do what is right for the both of us.

You obviously don't feel the same way as I do anymore. I'll just have to learn to live with the fact that you are happiest with Kitty.

As you can see, I've left, and I'm not coming back. No one knows where I will go, hell, I don't even know, so don't interrogate them. I know that you will be fine after I leave. You are the strong, courageous, caring man that I love and you will do great things. I just won't be by your side.

Bobby could see tear drops smeared across the page, blurring some words. A sudden tingling erupted from his eyes as his own tear drops combined with Rogue's completely smearing the words he had already read.

I love you with all my heart and I just wish I had your feelings in return. I can not satisfy you, and you don't deserve to have someone as disappointing as me. I just want you to know that this is the hardest thing I will ever have to do in my life, but I know it is what you want. It's hard to say goodbye right now, but I must.

Goodbye Bobby Drake,

My heart is yours always,

Rogue.

Staring in shock he stood alone, in the hallway, a boy who just let the love of his life slip through his fingers. Crumbling to the floor Bobby Drake, the strong, cold Iceman, let out a mournful sob.
