Kitty's POV
I dodged one of the many people that were dashing down
the hall way, like always. The corridor to my dorm was always crowded,
and today was no different. The air at Xavier's School for Gifted
Youngsters had been laced with joyful electricity ever since Magneto and
the Brotherhood had been defeated yesterday; everyone, even Logan,
celebrating. He should be celebrating most of all, I thought. He led us
to win. I don't remember how Logan had become the leader of the X-men,
but ever since-
My stomach turned as I thought of Scott, Jean, and
the Professor. Their deaths were still fresh in my mind, as well as
everyone else's. An overwhelming sadness settled over me. I should go
find Bobby, I thought. Cheered a little at the thought of seeing him, I
continued down another corridor. I was almost knocked off my feet as
Pete turned the corner. The huge figure of Pete aka Colossus barreled
past me before he stopped to apologize.
"Sorry, Kitty! Everyone is
really pumped today, Rogue's back!" My eyes widened as he continued
walking away from me and I stared blankly at the wall.
Bobby's ex
girlfriend was back. I got lightheaded and leaned against the wall. I
guess they had technically never broken up. Holding the back of my hand
to my nose as I cautiously looked down the hall at Bobby's door, I knew
if Rogue was back they would be in there. I sure as heck wasn't going to
interrupt whatever they were doing.
My heart breaking as I raced back to my door, I phased through it instead of having to unlock it.
I
hadn't meant to fall for Bobby because I knew he had a girlfriend, but I
did. When Rogue left, he and I had gotten closer than ever. I thought
we were going to be together after the freaking war we fought together.
Gosh, was I stupid. This isn't a fairytale, and I'm sure not getting a
happy ever after.
Bobby's POV
I
stepped out if my room after Rogue left. She hadn't exactly understood
me telling her I couldn't be with her anymore. I was beyond sorry, I
really like Rogue, but I love someone else.
"Hey, Iceman!" A young
boy, probably ten years old reached out for a high five, which I
returned. I had acquired somewhat of a fan club ever since the victory
over the Brotherhood.
Almost running to where I was going, I stopped
when I was in front of her door. The girl I had completely fallen in
love with over the past weeks, the girl who had stuck with me through
everything.
"Kitty?" I knocked on the door gently, accidentally
freezing the spot my knuckles landed on in my excitement. Watching as
the tiny frost crystals melted away, I heard something like a sob from
inside the dorm. My excitement instantly transformed to worry, and I
froze the lock. Pushing open the door, I saw a red faced Kitty sitting
near her window. Tears were on her cheeks, light from the ceiling lamp
dancing on the shiny orbs as they fell.
"Oh my... Kitty!" I rushed to her and pulled her from her window seat carefully, hugging her. She wriggled away.
"Go
away, Bobby." Confusion exploded in my mind; she was usually happy to
see me. Then it sunk in. She knew that Rogue had come back and assumed
the worst. I watched as she sat on the bed and buried her beautiful face
in her palms. Now the dissolved confusion was replaced by guilt.
Slowly
joining her on the bed, I made careful sure not to touch her; in my
emotional state of mind, I could lose control of my powers and
accidentally turn her in a Kitty popsicle.
"Kitty. I told Rogue I
couldn't be with her anymore." She looked at me in confusion. "I love
you Kitty." I chuckled nervously. She smiled and threw her arms around
me before I pulled away and kissed her.
