I'm on holiday now so it's mostly homework I'm catching up on. But when I'm done with this project I'll be working on my new stories and finishing old ones. But here's a one-shot I had to write. Please review, I do allow anonymous reviews. [lyrics]
-xXx-
[When
all is said and done
And dead does he love you
The way that I
do]
Logan stood by the window, his eyes piercing him. Remy LeBeau. Out of all the guys in the mansion, Rogue had to date this guy. And what really pissed Logan off is the fact that Remy didn't feel the same way that Rogue did. Remy had been here for a year and had been dating Rogue for about 7 months of that year. If you could call it dating. More like Remy fawning after Rogue. She had been confused, what with the cure not working and her powers coming and going. Then the moment she can control it, Gambit decides to profess his undying love for her.
[Breathing
in lightning
Tonight's for fighting
I feel the hurt so
physical]
Then she came in. He felt an ache in his heart. She looked beautiful. She wore a beautiful green dress and her hair hung loosely over her shoulders. She smiled and waved at him. He smiled back but it was an effort. It hurt knowing none of that was for him.
[Think
twice before you touch my girl
Come around I'll let you feel the
burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around come
around no more
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around
I'll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my
girl
Come around no more]
He wanted to hurt Gambit. Slice him into pieces. Rogue sat down and picked up her book, continuing from where she left off. And then the bastard put his arm around her. She smiled, a smile that wanted for his own. Gambit chuckled lightly and lifted his finger to stroke her cheek. She didn't respond still. To Logan's annoyance, Gambit leaned forward and began whispering in French, his lips barely touching her earlobe.
[She spreads her love
She burns
me up
I can't let go
I can't get out
I've said enough
Enough
by now
I can't let go
I can't get out]
Rogue put her book down and leaned towards Gambit.
'Enough!' growled Logan.
Rogue moved away from Gambit and smiled shyly at Logan.
'Problem, frere?' chuckled Gambit.
'This here is a school, Gumbo. Keep your hands to yourself.'
Or else. Gambit shrugged and stood up. Then he turned to Rogue, taking her hand.
'Shall we go somewhere more private, chere.'
Rogue bit her lip, then stood up and let Gambit take her away.
[Wait
till the day you finally see
I've been here waiting
patiently
Crossing my fingers and my t's
She cried on my
shoulder begging please]
'Logan!'
He turned away from his window. She was standing in the doorway of his room. Her face was streaked with tears. He moved towards her but then he could smell him on her. He sat on his bed, looking at his hands.
'What's wrong?'
'He cheated on me.'
What did she expect? If she didn't give Gambit the merchandise he would find it somewhere else.
'You knew?' she whispered.
'What?'
'You knew? And you didn't tell me!' she screamed.
'You wouldn't believe me if I had told you.'
She sniffed and sat down next to him. Then she carefully laid her head on her shoulder.
'Are you leaving him?'
'I don't know. I still love him. I think I do.'
He nodded. That Cajun was going to pay.
[Think twice before
you touch my girl
Come around I'll let you feel the burn
Think
twice before you touch my girl
Come around come around no
more
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around I'll let
you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my
girl
Come around no more]
'She doesn't belong t'y'.'
'Listen careful, Gumbo. You go near her again and…'
SKNIT
He brought his claws near to Gambit's face. Gambit merely chuckled and walked away.
[What
is it you really want
I'm tired of asking
You're gone I'm
wasted]
He reached out for another beer. Empty. He sighed looking around. Nothing but empty bottles. Perfect.
'Logan…'
'Not now, Rogue.'
'What's wrong?'
'Nothing.'
'Did you mean what you said? Nothing can happen between us.'
What? When had he said that? Oh yeah about a year and a half ago. But he was going through some things then. He didn't mean it.
'Where's Gambit?'
'Um… kitchen. Actually he said he wanted to meet me.'
'Then you should go.'
She ran out of the room. He sighed and followed, he had to see that Gambit kept his promise.
[When I showed up and he was
there
I tried my best to grin and bear
And took the stairs but
didn't stop at the street
And as we speak I'm going down]
'Chere, marry me.'
Logan stopped in front of the door. Gambit was down on one knee in front of a stunned Rogue. Rogue looked at Logan and bit her lip. Logan gathered his strength and smiled at her. Then he turned and walked down the stairs, down the corridor, out the door into the streets. And he kept walking.
[Cause
she spread her love
And burnt me up
I can't let go
I can't
get out
I've said enough
Enough by now
I can't let go
I
can't get out]
'Logan, what's wrong?'
'You'll make a beautiful bride.'
'LOGAN!'
'I'm done, Rogue. I can't watch you make all these mistakes.'
'Mistakes?'
'For God's sake, Marie! Yes, he sleeps around all the time. He doesn't love you, he wants your body.'
'I know. That's why I said no.'
'Is that the only reason you said no?'
'Yes.'
'Then this is goodbye.'
He turned and carried walking on. He couldn't be with someone who didn't love him.

Thank you for reading… yes there will be a part 2 and it will be Rogue's POV. I decided half way through writing this to put a part 2.
