Its all Power

A/N: First X men fic, so go easy on me people. Rouge's diary entry before she sets out to get the cure.

Dear Diary,

Bobby. I love him. Everyone who has a girlfriend would have actually touched her. But Bobby cant. And he doesn't even make a big deal out of it.

Its because he loves me.

Someone loves me.

And i love him too.

Then again, you might wonder, 'so, what is her problem? The guy she likes likes her back. Enjoy it while it lasts, girl!'

Its my power. My power is my problem.

Don't get me wrong, i love being a mutant. But i wish i had a harmless power... Not where i would suck out the life of people or steal the powers.

God, im such a whiner. No wonder John hates me.

I have to do it. It is hard, but i will have to. I wont belong here in Xavier's anymore once i take the cure, but i cant lose Bobby to Kitty just because he can touch her skin without dying painfully.

I cant go back to my parents either.

I mean, who would want to take back their freak daughter who ran away?

I wonder if they ever missed me...

No. I wont think of them. They are in the past.

The cure. That's all i need. Ill live a normal life, hopefully with Bobby. I wont fit into either world, but i don't have a choice.

Its not like im doing this just for Bobby. Im doing this for Bobby too. I know my power has saved me many a times, especially when Logan stabbed me by accident.

But i don't need it anymore. Its not like its useful without any mutants nearby.

And Bobby and i could be a normal couple. A perfectly normal couple.

Except Bobby would breathe ice. But that's okay with me, he doesn't hurt anyone.

Im going to do this. I have to do this.

I only hope its worth it.

I only hope Bobby is worth it.

I mean, Marie.

A/N: R and R!
