Only one reason in the end

Chapter One: Strangers

Rogue softly cried herself to sleep, knowing that tomorrow would be the hardest day of her life. She'd have to choose between the guy she loved and the man who made her burn with passion.

Memories drifted in and out and she began thinking back to when it all began…

I remember coming to the institute with Logan. I believed he was the only one who would ever care for me, but I was wrong. For in a couple of hours I would meet the man of my dreams (or so I believed).

He was sitting on the couch watching TV when I happened to walk in the room by mistake. He looked up from his movie and gazed into my eyes. I was taken back by the most amazing brown eyes I have ever seen.

"Hi, I don't believe we've met. I'm Bobby," He replied.

I blushed and replied, "I'm Rogue." Taking a step closer I noticed the plates of half-eaten pizza, two liter coke bottles and what looked like a small explosion of popcorn.

"That's a wonderful name. Are you new here?" Quickly he scooted the plates under the sofa with his foot and started brushing popcorn kernels from the seat cushions.

"Yes, I arrived today," I softly said

Bobby smiled and commented, "If you aren't busy. I'd love some company."

"I'd really like that."

He took my gloved hand in his and helped me settle down on the couch.

Toward the end of the movie I looked up at him and he moved closer to me. "So do you plan on staying here for awhile?"

"I think so, I mean I hope so…" I looked down at my hands.

"You don't seem so sure of that answer? You wanna talk about it?"

"It's just… I don't fit in." I pulled at the sides of my gloves.

"Well don't worry about that. This institute holds the highest number of out of place people in the world. But it's nice to know, that here we do fit in."

His words cheered me up, but the realization of power still made me feel like an out cast.

"Oh come on, cheer up. It can't be that bad," Bobby said.

I put on a fake smile and replied, "Yah I know."

The movie finished its credits and Bobby yawned stretching his arms. "I wish this moment could last longer but someone is waiting for you," Bobby replied.

I turned around and saw Logan standing in the doorway. "Rogue its best you get to bed… you'll be starting class tomorrow."

I grimaced at his words but knew he was probably right so I said my goodnights and followed Logan to my room.

Rogue woke suddenly and sat up in bed. Her heart pound as she looked around the room. She realized she was dreaming of the past as she slowly placed her head back on her pillow; sadly she felt that is was still moist from her tears. Closing her eyes she fell back asleep.

To be continued...

Thank you for reading my story and I hope you'll review it for me. I'm hoping to post the next chapter in a week.
