1 - Summer Breeze
:loneliness:
i began feeling completely alone not too long ago. None of my friends understand; Kitty is always just too optimistic, Kurt needs to go away sometimes and everyone else. I feel like im in need of someone to talk to. Someone who wont just try to cheer me up. Someone - anyone

*Rogue*
School got out. I wasnt in the mood for social interaction so i began walking back to the mansion. It started raining and soon i was soaked, but it didnt matter. I saw a soggy card laying on the ground. I dont know why, but i picked it up. It was the same kind that guy had given me before and it was the 10 of hearts. I looked around cautiously and continued walking, still staring at the card. I bumped into someone, accidently, their skin momentarily touched mine.
'S'cuse me, chere." he said
"Oh... I .... YOU!" I spun around
"I choose no fight, not here, not with you.."
"Why are you following me?!"
"Follow? No... watching..."
"What do you want?!"
"Nothing."
I began walking away
"Till we meet again, mon ami," he called
"I hope not..." i mumbled
Then i noticed a sudden feeling of electricity or something. I had touched his bare skin. I felt some odd sensation filling me, but i thought nothing of it and kept walking. I got to the mansion soaked through and through. The rain seemed to have given me a small zap every so often. That electric feeling began feeling stranger. Like electric butterflies in my stomach. I ran into my room and slammed the door. I tried to ignore the feeling in every way. I wrote, i drew, i paced, then i gave up. It was part of my mutant ability.
Darkness fell and everyone was sound asleep. I was still up though. I walked out to my small balcony and climbed down to the ground. I started walking around. After about a mile i stopped at a park and climbed into a tree. The night chill came upon not long later. I got comfortable and felt myself dosing off.
"Dis isnt the best place for a nap, chere," a familiar voice said
"Wha... huh?" i spazzed and felt out of the tree
I started getting up and he put his gloved hand out to me. I went on and took it. He pulled me up gingerly.
"Why are you REALLY following me?" i asked
"Just interested..." he said
"In?"
"Tell me, do you ever feel like you are completely alone?"
"I... well... yeah..."
"Give me a chance, mon ami, i aint all that bad."
"I... cant. Im your enemy - youre my enemy - "
"No! No... im the XMENS enemy. Not yours. I had a chance to do something to you, did i?"
"I AM an xmen!"
"Calm down, calm down! I hold nothing against you."
"I have something against you! You tried to hurt me and my friends! You ARE my enemy!"
I shouted at him and turned away. Suddenly realizing how mean i was being, i turned around to meet his stare.
"Ill give you a chance, but if you piss me off im gonna hurt you."
"No problem, chere. The names Gambit."
"Real name?"
"Youll find that out soon enough. Till next time, au revoir!" he bowed and mysteriously ran off
"Rogue!" i heard someone call
Ororo and Logan ran up to me.
"You shouldnt be out here this late alone, kid," Logan said looking around suspisiously
"Why arent you in bed?" Ororo asked
"I.... couldnt.... sleep," i said nervously looking in the direction Gambit ran
**
Gambit sat upon a roof top gazing down. He watched Rogue walk away. His intentions seemed evil, but they were truly pure. He couldnt describe why he felt the need to watch her. As Storm and Wolverine took Rogue home, Gambit followed in the shadows and on the rooftops. Rogue felt his presence, since she had touched him.
*Rogue*
I sulked into my room. I knew they would be keeping a closer eye on me now. I left my room and paced the halls. Xavier strolled into the hall as well.
"Rogue... you know what im about to say..." he said slowly
"I wrather not hear it," i said going back to my room
"Its too dangerous!"
I slammed the door and leaned against it. I could feel the professor in my mind.
"GET OUT!" i screamed
I heard numerous doors open and voices asking what was wrong. I just ignored them and layed down in my bed. I had enough on my mind, with school and all these anti mutant things. I didnt feel like being between good and evil. I just wanted a friend, i suppose. I was teh odd one in the house. Everyone was able to hug, to hold... to love. I couldnt commit, nor did anyone want to commit to me. Many in this situation i was being sought out with some purpose. A purpose unkown to me, or the person who found me.
"Rogue? Can ve talk?" Kurt said standing next to my door
"I...guess..." i mumbled
"Vhats this i hear about you talking to vone of Magnetos men?" he asked appearing in my room
"Big deal, i was out and he found me."
"Did he try to hurt you at all?"
"No! He was... nice and - "
"Ooh! I see vhere this is going! You like Scott, remember?!"
"No, i dont like Scott. I know him and Jean are great together. I dont have a place in there. And if youre saying i have a crush on Gambit - "
"OooOOooh! THAT one! So you are him are buddy/buddy? Did you tell him that im your brother? Did you tell him that you are on the GOOD GUY SIDE... thing?!"
"Its not like that - "
"Vhy dont you and your partner go get married?!"
"Kurt.....-"
"Vhile youre at it, ahve some kids!"
"KURT.....-"
"Then you and him can rule the vorld vith all your evil little babies with red eyes and vhite streaks in their hair!"
"KURT!!!"
"Oh... i am... sorry.... i -"
"Get out..."
"Oh Rogue - i.. i didnt mean... - "
"I SAID... get OUT!"
"Sheesh, vhat happened to the old Rogue, huh?
"Shes dead! OUT!"
Kurt left my room in his usual puff of smoke. I walked out onto my balcony letting the wind blow against me.
"Didnt mean to cause all dis, chere."
"Its not your fault. If you are going to hang around, coudl you tell me when you are going to be sitting on my roof watching me?"
"Back to what you asked before - the name? Its Remy... Remy Lebeau."
"What should i call you then?"
"Ah! Smart and beautifil! You can call me whatever you want, mon amour."
Somehow none of this made any sense to me. Yet, i felt everything was falling into play.
