Chapter 1: The beginning of the end
It had been three days since Jeans death now, but Scott still couldn't bring himself to face everybody and hid away in his room. Logan kept coming to check on him, as well as the professor and Ororo, but all they did was make things worse. He was already suffering enough and didn't want peoples pity. He got up from his seat and walked over to a framed picture of him and Jean, smiling. He'd never met anybody quite like her, as beautiful as her. "What am I going to do without you?" Scott whispered to himself, picking up the photo.
"You're not the only one grieving y'know." Logan's odour filled the room. "We all miss her."
"What do you want Logan?"
"I just came to see…to check you're alright."
"Just because I'm upset doesn't make me stupid, now tell me what you came in here for or go."
Logan walked over to Scott and took the picture from his hand. "She was a hotty weren't she?" He chuckled before realising his colleague wasn't too pleased.
"I said what do you want?" Scott mumbled, snatching the photo back.
"Xavier sent me to check on you and thought you and me could maybe…y'know…try and bond…" Scott laughed. "Hey don't look at me, it was his idea."
"Oh really? Why am I not surprised? Tell him I'm fine. Now, leave me alone."
Logan sighed and left the room. Scott put the photo down and threw himself onto his bed. "Me and him bonding?" He laughed again. "As if I'd want to bond with him. I wonder what Jean ever saw in him."

"Stop it" Storm giggled, turning around in circles. Nightcrawler suddenly appeared and made her jump and giggle more. "Don't make me get angry."
"What you going to do?" He said before disappearing again.
"I'll…I'll..."
"Zap me?" Storm quickly turned and grabbed him before he had a chance to vanish again.
"That's right…I'll zap you." Storms eyes went white and the cloud turned cloudy.
"No no no! Please, don't kill me." Storm started laughing and the sky became clear again. "I wasn't going to kill you, just playing around."
Nightcrawler smiled and put his arms around Ororo before teleporting the two up into a nearby tree. "How did you get to be so beautiful?"
Storm blushed. "Kurt I-"
"Ssssh." He placed his finger over her lips and slowly leaned in and kissed her before accidentally falling out of the tree. Storm once began giggling.

It was now one in the morning and Scott still couldn't sleep. He'd barely had five hours sleep in the last few days.
He got up and carefully tiptoed downstairs, trying not to wake the very few people that may be sleeping. When he reached the bottom he heard somebody whisper his name. He quickly spun around but there was nobody there. "Hello?" Nobody answered. He shook his head and made his way to the kitchen. As he entered the room, somebody called his name again but louder this time. "Who's there?" Scott yelled, raising his hand to his head, preparing for a fight.
A shadow appeared at the window. "It's me…" The voice sounded very familiar. He fired a beam at the window. "Who are you and what do you want from me?!" Scott cautiously edged towards the window, getting ready to fire again. There was nobody there.
He jumped out the window and began scanning the area. "Where are you?" Suddenly the sound of rustling sounded from behind him and he quickly turned around and saw a figure running away. He was set to fire but then realised it wasn't a stranger, it was somebody he knew…somebody he knew very well…

Man alive that chapter sucks! It will get better I promise. Too much happened in this chapter, I could have made it even worse and made the ending a bit better but this way I have room for an extra chapter. Don't be too harsh! Please review and look out for the next chapter
