*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It has been one week since the IT happened. The IT being Jean giving her life so the rest of the X-Men could live theirs. However, Scott Summers didn't feel much like living. Sure his cousins from California had arrived today to visit him and to attend the funeral. They had even brought their friends with them, saying that they couldn't leave them behind. Apparently one of their own had recently died and they didn't want to abandon them. Buffy and Dawn had offered to explain why but Scott did not feel much like listening. In fact he didn't feel like doing much of anything at all.
**What ravages of spirit
conjured this temptuous rage
created you a monster
broken by the rules of love**
So that was how Scott found himself sitting under one of the many trees on the school's grounds thinking to himself, when suddenly he heard this crying nearby. The soft quiet crying kept going for about ten minutes until Scott couldn't stand it anymore and got up to find the source of the pitiful crying to try and make it stop.
**and fate has lead you through it
you do what you have to do
and fate has led you through it
you do what you have to do .**
The source turned out to be one of his cousins' friends. The lonely red head who sorrow matched his own.
She hadn't even looked up when he arrived, only saying, "Xander, (sob) I told you I want to (sob) be left alone right now (sob)."
"Not Xander, it's Scott," he replied.
"Oh, well I guess (sob) you could stay if you don't mind me (sob) crying all over you," she answered and looked up with a teary smile on her face.
"Why are you so sad, I haven't seen anyone else from your group this miserable."
"No one else lost Tara the way I did, (sob) and then went all apocalypsey evil about it."
"What do you mean?"
"You mean no one told you?" She said while wiping her eyes, "I thought they had told everyone by now."
"I guess that I wasn't in the house long enough to listen."
"Well then I'll tell you. You see it all started with Tara, beautiful sweet Tara."
**and I have the sense to recognize that
I don't know how to let you go
every moment marked
with apparitions of your soul
I'm ever swiftly moving
trying to escape this desire
the yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do
the yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do
but I have the sense to recognize
that I don't know how to let you go
I don't know how to let you go**
"Wow," Scott said.
"Ya," Willow paused," hey why were you out here anyways?"
"I, ah, was mourning myself."
"Who?"
"Jean, my girlfriend, she was the most caring person I know and now she's-"
"Oh, how did it happen?"
"Well there was this evil mutant Magneto."
**a glowing ember
burning hot
burning slow
deep within I'm shaken by the violence
of existing for only you**
"This was nice. It kind of helped to tell someone myself, not let everyone do it for me." Willow said softly to herself.
"Ya, I know what you mean. Sort of therapeutic. Hey do you want to go back up to the house now?" Scott asked her while glancing at his watch, "Storm will probably have dinner ready by now."
"I guess that I am a little hungry, sure, let's go." And with that they both got up to leave with the same realization on their minds.
**I know I can't be with you
I do what I have to do
I know I can't be with you
I do what I have to do
and I have sense to recognize but
I don't know how to let you go
I don't know how to let you go
I don't know how to let you go**
Hope that you liked it! Please review!
