Perfect

Hey dad look at me
Think back and talk to me
Did I grow up according to plan?
And do you think I'm wasting my time doing things I wanna do?
But it hurts when you disapprove all along
" Your grades are slipping Rogue, grow up and get a clue!" Logan shouted back, voices twining together in their usual argument.
" Logan I'm not going to stop playing!"
" You are if you want to keep your priviliges." Logan answered. Professor Xavier watched silently as the two stood almost nose to nose.
" It's my choice." Rogue answered, her face turning red from anger. Professor X felt it radiating in waves over him and was surprised that only a few others in the mansion could feel it beyond the room.
" We made a deal, your grades stay the same or you quit playing."
" You aren't my father!"
" You're right, I'm not! If I was we wouldn't be having this discussion because your ass would already be grounded."
'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
" It was one test, one C. It was a hard test, Jean even admitted it. Only three people in the whole school did better! I'm sick of explaining that to you!"
" Don't you use that tone with me." Logan shouted, spittle flying. Rogue's gloved hand snaked out to slap him, temporarily forgetting who she was arguing with.
" Then stop acting like my father!" She shrieked as Logan's open palm slithered out just as quickly as hers had, almost knocking her lithe frame to the ground. Professor X started forward as Rogue held a hand to her face, staring in shock at Logan.
" God, Rogue… I- I'm sorry. I- I didn't mean-" Logan reached for the girl but she pulled back.
" None of you ever 'mean' to do anything!" With those parting words Rogue ran off, leaving a very confused Logan behind to face an irate Professor Xavier.
I try not to think
About the pain I feel inside
Did you know you used to be my hero?
All the days you spent with me
Now seem so far away
And it feels like you don't care anymore

A/N: I butchered Simple Plan's song 'Perfect' but I was listening to it and I just had this idea of Logan and Rogue arguing. I know it's not much but I just wanted everyone to get this part and kind of wonder about the beginning.
