A/N: These are just a series of short essays that I wrote in class. I thought I would use them for my own advantages in my fan-fiction. Each short essay will be about Rogue and one of my favorite men, Remy, Logan or John. So you'll just have to read and find out which one goes with which. Friend's idea actually, so here we go.

Betrayal:

I stare blankly into the surrounding area. My mind is trying to stop the images flickering behind my eyes like an old movie projection. Trying against all hope to stop the onslaught of tears that are sure to come with any thing and everything that has to do with you.

I let it happen again. Except this time I let it happen. I should have stood my ground. I should have listened to what my heart was telling me instead of my brain which at the moment seems to be on autopilot.

I let him whisper sweet words filled with lies into my ear as we lay there together. I let him because I wanted to believe that he would be the one to take the ache away. To stop the chill that seems to be slowly consuming my heart.

I told him I trusted him. I told him I wanted him and only him. I told him his fire would always be enough to keep the chill away.

But apparently I am in the lacking. In what, I am still no sure. But I am not worthy of his fiery looks or touch. Jut like I was with all the others.

Momma, Papa, Cody, Logan, Bobby, and your just another one added to the list. Another notch added to my unwanted belt of betrayal. Another person who wanted me for all the wrong reasons.

So now I'll continue to stare as the blood slowly leaks out of my body. As I lay motionless and broken on a battle field that shouldn't have ever been fought. A battle fought over broken dreams and long ago forged hatred.

And by the hands that kept the chill away and slowly melted my heart of ice, will in the end be the death of me. A poetic irony if I had ever seen one. Betrayal it feels like. Another broken heart is what it is.

A/N: Okay if you don't know which two this is about I will murder you. John and Rogue of course, one of my personal favorite pairings. So now on to the next one…
