Blame It On The Rain

Chapter 1:Shattered

Everyone stood around listening to the argument going on in the room above them. It was the same fight every time, but something felt different this time, there was a more foreboding feel to it that had even the Professor on edge.

"Please p'teite be reasonable 'bout dis, Remey already tol you dis whole touchin t'ing don bother him." Gambit told her as he paced back and forth next to her bed. Frustrated Rouge slammed her suitcase and stared at him.

"And Ah already told you it might not bother you Remey but it kills me not being able to touch you, without killing you, and besides you deserve better than that." She explained quietly. He reached out cupping her chin in his gloved hand forcing her emerald eyes to meet his own red on black ones.

"An Remey al' ready tol you he don care what you t'ink he deserves or what he may actually deserve, all he won is you, when you gon get it chere dis Cajun in love wit you." He told her trying to make her see how he felt and make her stay. Her eyes started to water as she grabbed the suitcase off the bed.

"Ah know Remey and Ah love you too, and that's why it's gotta be this way shugah, Ah'm sorry." She replied walking towards the door, as she hear a soft thump against the floor she turned. There on his knees his hands clasped before him kneeled Remey LeBeau, the man she loved, the price of thieves, and the man with the greatest poker face known to man, completely unreadable, but now that mask was broken and tears ran freely from his demon eyes.

"Please Marie I'm beggin you don walk out on us, I love you too much I don t'ink my heart can take it." Rouge looked at him and felt her own tears fall, she didn't want to do this to him, but she had to it was the right thing to do, but by using her real name, and the fact that he was speaking in the first person told her just exactly how deep his feelings for her went and that made it hurt all the more.

"Ah love you Remey LeBeau, and Ah'm sorry." As she finished she turned and ran out the door past the others not wanting to talk to them, until a gruff voice stopped her.

"Hey stripes, you go do what you need to do, and figure yourself out then you come back here, got me?" Logan growled, but he knew what she needed and would help her anyway he could. She looked back and nodded.

"Please take care of him for me Logan." She asked as she turned and walked towards her car, a slight nod was his only reply as he walked back in the house.

Two weeks later

His phone rang, and checking the number Logan gave a nod to Storm and stepped outside, "Hey Stripes where you at?"

"Holiday Inn New York, how is he?" she replied curtly. He gave a small sigh something she never thought she'd hear from him. What she didn't know is he really cared, he loved her like a daughter and though he'd never admit it he liked the little Cajun swamp rat too.

"Straight to the point like always, well he's still breathing." Was Logan's answer, and her heard he frown over the line, and his heart went out to the girl. She contemplated her next words carefully. "Is it really that bad?" She feared the answer.

"Well let's just say since that day you left he hasn't left your room, we tried to get him out but he wouldn't move Scotty boy even ended up with a dislocated jaw trying to do it forcefully, He leaves to grab clothes after everyone else is asleep, I hear him movin, but otherwise he won't leave, don't say nothing to nobody and barely eats the food we send up there." He finished, and he heard her breath hitch on the other end. He gave another sigh "Look Rouge don't blame yourself for this, you did what you needed to do, he understands that, he's just a little broken up about it that's all." He heard the tears in voice when she answered him.

"No Logan I didn't break him, he's beyond that, he's shattered." She choked out a sob before the line went dead.
