The wind whispered and leaves rustled. Cries and whimpers were heard all around

"We are gathered here today to remember the life of Jean Elaine Grey-Summers."

A young girl stood motionlessly, eyes rimmed red from tears.

The pastor continued his eulogy; the usual sentiments; how she grew up and how much she was loved.

"She leaves behind a husband and three children. Jean, you will be missed."

The girl ran away, tears streaming down her face. Her family stood still, no one moving to comfort her.

"Ronnie!" A man called out, running after her.

When he caught up, she jumped into his arms and wept.

"Shhh... it's okay kid. I gotcha." He rubbed her back, trying to console her. After a while, she fell asleep. He carried her over to her father.

"Here's your kid, Scott." Scott said nothing. "Scott!"

"Just take her to her room." He quavered.

A the man walked away, he turned to the father and said, "Really, Scott! Your daughter runs away crying and you don't do a freaking thing."

Scott's face turned red. "Logan! I just lost my wife."

"And she just lost her mother." Logan barked. "Ronnie needs you. She can't lose you too."

"Why do you care? You've been trying to steal Jean from me for years. Why now?" Scott reamrked.

Logan looked at the sleeping Ronnie. "First, I only tried to get with Jean just to get you fuming, One Eye. Secondly, I care because this girl already has been through enough. Especially everything between you and Jeannie. I'm not her father; you are. So, man up and take care of her,bub." With that he left, leaving a defeated Scott speechless.

I am Veronica Jeanette Grey. Summers' name is dead to me. My father ignores me, except when I'm in trouble. At least my brother and sister, Nate and Rachel, acknowledge my presence.

The only person I consider my family is Uncle Logan, which irritates my father extremely.

It's not my fault I wasn't born a mutant, I just have the mutant gene because of my parentage.

I'm 18 now, finally free of my family. Today's the day I begin the best day ever.

This is a teaser for a story I hope to write one day. Ronnie's story was my OG OC ever, and I hope to share her story one day.
