Chapter One – There is nothing good on TV!
Rogue was sitting in the living room, alone, and the only light in the room was from the TV. She was zapping, thinking that nothing good was passing and that that wouldn't change, because it was around 3 am. She couldn't sleep, not with all that stuff in her head, the return of Professor X and is marvelous (yes, marvelous, Rogue never saw or thought seeing something like that) transition for his dead body; Bobby leaving her for Kitty, she didn't blame the boy, no, quite the contrary, he was and still is nice with her and he always loved Kitty. Rogue thanked him for not insist in having sex with her and then dump her, this way hurts less, but still hurts though… a lot.
"There's nothing good on TV!" she said.
The new relationship between Logan and Ororo also bugged her! It seemed that even Logan was settling in, and she had to admit she was a little jealous, Rogue still had a crush for him, and now he seemed… happy, with another woman.
"Damn it…there is absolutely nothing good on TV!"
There was some other thing in her mind, her choice of leaving the mansion for good! It seemed right for her, she was no longer a mutant, she had no boyfriend there and she had stop studying. Professor and the others wished she would graduate and all that shit, but Rogue didn't feel like to, maybe later, if she doesn't find anything better to do with her time. So, she announced them that she was searching for a job and soon she would go away. That was the right thing to do, she told herself over and over, but then, why was she hurt, because no one agued with her to stay?
"Stupid TV." Enough with the zapping and the thinking Rogue smoke a cigarette outside and went back to her room to try to sleep.
It was 2pm when, finally, Rogue woke up. She took a long shower, trying to really wake up, dressed and when she arrived in the kitchen to eat something she saw Logan and Ororo looking out the window. Watching Ororo's hand slipping to Logan's butt, made her turn her head and make a face of gross. Rogue made some noise with a chair to make the couple notice her presence.
"Well, at last." Said Ororo with the usual kind smile. Rogue liked Storm, but that morning, or make that afternoon, she hated that smile.
"Kiddo, is this time?! You should do something, anything with your life!" and there it was Logan trying to act like some kind of tutor… or father, that thought brought up her face of gross again.
"First, I'm not a "kiddo"", said Rogue, "And second, ah am doing something with my life, I have a job interview at 3.30pm."
"The food's still warm, Rogue." Said Ororo leaving the kitchen.
"'Kay."
"I have to go, kid. Good luck for the interview."
"Thanks, Logan. And I'm not a kid!", Rogue had to scream the last part, because Logan wasn't there already, and add to nobody, "Jesus!"
