This was going to be a long weekend and she knew it. It was dinner. More specifically it was Saturday night dinner. She was never one for "Family Time" and was thankful that Saturday night was not the time for it. Everybody was doing his or her own thing; most were heading to The Bat Cave, the hottest teen club in Bayville. Technically, she thought to herself, the only club in Bayville. She had let Allana and Jasper talk her into going with them, it was definitely better than sitting around here reflecting on what had happened today. She sighed and shoved what food she had left around on her plate. The food blurred together as she remembered what happened.
"Back so soon?" Scott had said rudely when Pietro came in. Pietro had just ignored him and looked straight at her.
"Rogue, can we talk?"
"Ah, really don't feel like talking ta ya." She answered simply.
"Yeah, so why don't you just leave?" Scott sneered.
"Why don't you just back off, Summers? This has nothing to do with you." Pietro countered, and she felt a headache coming on.
Some of people were starting to complain about the noise and asking them to go away, but the two guys just ignored them.
"If it involves Rogue it involves me." Scott said.
"She doesn't belong to you, why do you act like she does?"
Rogue got off the couch she had been sitting on and left the room and went upstairs, she really wasn't in the mood to watch a fight, particularly if this fight had something to do with her. She didn't really understand what was going on, but she knew she didn't like it. She then heard the front door slam and a, "I see you two are already at it," indicating that Allana was back. Just great, Rogue thought. An insult or so were traded with Scott and Allana then a few more with Pietro and Scott. Rogue just sat at the top of the stairs listening.
"Do you always have to be perfect? Why not go for someone more your style like Miss Grey?"
"I've said it before and I'll say it again, the only reason you want Rogue is to get her back in the Brotherhood."
"What do you know? Absolutely nothing and yet you parade around all high and mighty not noticing Rogue until someone else takes an interest in her, just like what happened with Jean and Duncan."
Rogue could practically see Scott's itch to just lift off his sunglasses and blast the younger mutant away as they continued to trade verbal abuse. She could see Pietro looking angry rather than his usual smugness when he retaliated. She heard Allana crack her knuckles, ready to take them both on if necessary. She could see the way Kurt readied himself in case Allana did so. All of this raced through her mind and she wanted to scream for it to stop. It was ridiculous the way they were fighting, neither actually liked her, why were they bothering?
Then it happened, it stopped. Nothing was said for a long time. Then the door slammed again and everybody went back to normal. Everybody that is except Scott, Allana, and herself, Pietro she assumed was the one who left. She wanted to cry. Why was this happening to her?
Her food came back into focus after that. She sighed again gaining Allana's attention. "You alright, Rogueness?" She shook her head yes and went back to playing with her food. It was going to be a long weekend.
