A/N: I always loved this song. I was listening to it again today and thought of Remy and Rogue. So this is what I got. Enjoy!

Pairing: Romy

Disclaimer: I don't own X-men Evolution. I don't own Remy or Rogue (despite wanting to). I don't own Life of my own by 3 doors down either.

Life of my own

I chuckled darkly to myself as I stared at the lopsided ceiling fan turning around and around. I had done so many risky things in my life. I wasn't scared to risk everything for money and reputation. I shouldn't be surprised that she was the reason that I wandered even closer to that edge. I would risk the most for her.

Living risky

Never scared

Wander closer to the edge

Rogue. Her name is like a bittersweet wine on a summer day. Before her I never realized there was more to life then money. It was the only thing I truly valued. Then I was pulled into her world, where the things I valued were nothing; where friendship, loyalty, hard work, and love were everything. I thought they were fearless but it wasn't no fear that pushed them as it did me. I had no fear with the risks I took, how could I? I couldn't understand why they kept going, if it wasn't fearlessness. I sighed. Why am I here again?

Nothing valued

Think no fear

Always wondering why your here

I'm here because of her. I don't want to think about it. It hurts to think about it. I don't want to feel the sorrow; I don't want to feel the pain. I can't think of any of it right now.

Nothing's right and nothing's wrong

Nothing ventured

Nothing gained

Feel no sorrow

Feel no pain

I went after her, pursued her. I flirted shamelessly with her. I caught her attention but she kept me on the outside. I even joined the do-gooders to be closer to her. They were sceptical and I don't blame them in the least. I begged her to kiss me but I knew one kiss could kill me. Oh how I thought that would be a beautiful death. Mon dieu, did she let me live and learn the hard way. She put me in a coma for a week. Somehow it was worth it. I got to live another day to tease her and try again. I was going to give her something to remember.

Kiss me while I'm still alive

Kill me while I kiss the sky

Let me die on my own terms

Let me live and let me learn

Now I'll follow my own way,

And I'll live on to another damn day

Freedom carries sacrifice

Remember when this was my life

I kept going. The longer I stayed with them; I learned we watched each other's backs. She taught me more and more about a life where there were rules. She drew lines in the sand between us as well as the lines that weren't to be crossed with the institute. If only I could say that my plans of chasing the Rogue hadn't been altered but they did. I had chased her for the challenge, to see her anger peak, her cheeks flame red; instead at times, she left me speechless, pushing myself to get her attention and somehow my pursuit became something more serious.

Looking forward

Not behind

Everybody's got to cross that line

When I realized what was happening, I wanted to run. I did. Instead the person who came looking for me that day wasn't who I expected. Logan. I didn't want a tumble with him in the least. He simply told me Rogue was looking for me and if I was planning on leaving, tell her. With that I went back to her, my Rogue. I simply fell faster as time went by. I fell in love with the Rogue, the untouchable girl.

Free me now to give me place

Keep me caged and free the beast

Falling faster

Time goes by

I was stupid and reckless. We were on a mission. Much like every other time in my life, I had no fear in my eyes. I didn't feel fear. I was far too happy to know I had a mission with Rogue. She had angrily told me before we started to keep my head in the game. I didn't think it'd be a problem. I cursed to the ceiling at what happened. I had been risky and she had saved me. I rub my eyes tiredly, feeling the scars that are there from the blindness that I now endured.

Fear is not seen through these eyes

What there was will never be

Now I'm blind and cannot see

I remember waking up to a dark world and the steady beeping of a heart monitor. Beast had noticed my alertness immediately. I found out moments later, my rashness had put both of us in danger. Rogue was in a coma, they weren't sure if she'd ever wake up. The only thing I had to endure was the loss of my sight. Something I easily overcome with much practice. I just wanted her to kiss me again so we were in opposite positions. So I was laying there from taunting her, not from my own mistake. I should have been the one there. I should have died if not for her. I lived and learned the hard way once again.

I grinned as I sat up, grabbed my trench coat and walked out the door of my apartment. I long have left the mansion. I visit now and then to check up on her but I don't stay. I got my freedom with her sacrifice and I am alive another day because of her. Now I wish I could go back to when she was my life.

Kiss me while I'm still alive

Kill me while I kiss the sky

Let me die on my own terms

Let me live and let me learn

Now I'll follow my own way

And I'll live on to another damn day

Freedom carries sacrifice

Remember when this was my life

I nod to Logan at the door. I still have full access; I'm still technically an X-man. I just believe I don't deserve the title. I head straight to the room they have set up for her. I slip in and place the fresh roses by her bed. I sit by her bedside for a while. I don't bother saying anything. I take her hand. Its ungloved, she can't do anything to me in her unconscious state. I let out a small sob.

"I'm so sorry, cheré. If only I knew what was going to happen. It would be me laying here and not you." I whispered to her. I sighed. "This is my last visit, cheré. I'm going to get the one who did this to you. I don't think I'll be making it back."

A dark chuckle rolled from my lips. I knew she could hear me but she would never wake up. It'd be two years. Normal brain function according to Ol' Xavier but she refuses to wake up. I stand up and lean down kissing her forehead ever so softly.

"Adieu, cheré." I said, walking out of the room.

Kiss me while I'm still alive

Kill me while I kiss the sky

I coughed bringing blood up. My opponent isn't in much better condition, they were dead. I was dying. I smirked satisfactorily. I had avenged Rogue. A life for a life. I was now going to die on my terms. I stared into darkness and thought of my Rogue.

Let me die on my own terms

Let me live and let me learn

A large gasp and wide eyes. "Remy."

Now I'll follow my own way

I heard running footsteps coming toward me. I thought it must have been impossible. No one knew I was here. I closed my eyes, I was hallucinating I was sure. This was going to what people remembered me for. I wasn't going to live another day. The X-men would know that I had died trying to right a wrong. I could hear voices now too. I knew I wasn't going to heaven and I knew those voices to well.

"Beast! He's over here." I heard a voice say. I managed to crack open my eyes. "He's still alive! Remy, it's me, Kitty. Please hold on." I didn't want to live for another day, couldn't she see that. She grabbed my hand holding onto it tightly as if providing me with a life line. I could hear more movement. I let out a yell as someone touched what I knew was several broken ribs.

"Arg. Come on, Swamp Rat. I didn't bring the brigade for you to leave me." The voice of an angel said. Rogue but that couldn't be I knew she was still laying in her bed at the mansion. I opened my eyes and I felt a gloved hand touch my face. I guess I had another reason to go another day.

And I'll live on another damn day

White. All I could see was white. I guess I hadn't made it after all but I wasn't so certain I was going to heaven. I groaned and that damn beeping was getting to me. There was a chuckle and my head whipped to the other side of me. There was Rogue and I could see her. I wasn't dead and Rogue was awake, I hadn't dreamt it.

"Mr. McCoy was right; your eyes have cleared up. He believed your sight should have returned long ago but ya prevented it somehow making it a punishment for what happened. Then ya go and almost get yourself killed. Ah should kill ya myself." Rogue said.

"Rogue." I said and groaned as my still healing ribs protested. She nodded. Gone was her Goth make-up from years past. She hadn't aged much, her face had matured a little or maybe it was the red lipstick that had made her look so. She touched my face with an ungloved hand and I was surprised when her powers didn't activated. "What?" She chuckled.

"It seems two years unconscious allowed my consciousness to work through a few things." She replied. She leaned over kissing my forehead. "Rest, I'll be here when you wake up." I nodded.

Freedom carries sacrifice

I closed my eyes. Everything was better, there had been sacrifices. Somehow Rogue was back, I was still alive. I guess fate has changed my life. My life will now be remembered for something else. I quickly fell asleep knowing that this was my life, a second chance at life with my Rogue.

Remember when this was my life

The End

Please let me know what you though. Please review.
