Scott's POV
I walk around the school searching through the crowds of kids looking for her, things have been so different between the two of us lately, since Magneto she just hasn't been the same. So many nights like last night have seemed to be happening, her never being able to sleep, but over what? What could possibly be the reason her mind has been away from me for so long? I run into storm, literally, her papers she has been carrying go flying out of her hands into a mess that lands on the floor, I bend down to help her pick them up "Sorry about that, my mind is elsewhere" she smiles up at me as I help her pick up the mess I have made
"Its okay, I know you have had a lot going on lately, you know with Jean and all" I take this as the perfect opportunity to steer the conversation in my direction
"Speaking of Jean, have you seen her by any chance?"
"Yeah I am pretty sure she is in one of the labs right now" I put my hand on her shoulder and thank her before I get up and leave, I walk to the nearest lab and I suddenly hear hushed voices coming from the slightly opened room that also has the lights turned off
"Jean I just don't feel right about this, you told me that you would tell him, soon" I would recognize that voice anywhere, Logan.
"And you don't think I don't? Hes my husband for gods stakes and while I don't love him anymore it still breaks my heart that im doing this to him" I feel like the wind has just been knocked out of me when I hear her say those words, 'I don't love him anymore', but what is it that she should feel guilty about?
"Once you tell him then we can be together, for real" I watch through the crack of the door the way she moves closer to him, wrapping her arms around his neck like she used to do to me, the way her lips are just centimeters away from his.
"If we aren't together for real then what was last night?" I can see the blush creep up onto her cheeks as she says this, and the way he laughs, pulling her closer. I can only concentrate on the fact that while last night I thought she was going to just get a glass of water and then come back to bed, our bed, but instead she was sleeping with someone else. She breaks the tiny bit of air that was separating them and kisses him, this is the last straw for me, I can already feel my blood boiling with rage as I throw open the door and march my way over to them. The sound alone is enough to startle them and pull them apart, but it must be my reaction that really frightens her because I can see the mixed emotions of shock, guilt, and fear on her face.
"What the hell is this?" I yell, not caring who hears. She stutters through her words
"Scott, I didn't want you to find out about it this way"
"So its true? Your really screwing him?" She starts to cry and he steps in, protecting her, my wife.
"Scott lets just stay calm, I know your upset but we can talk about this later, in private" I have never seen him so calm in a stressful situation, she must have really rubbed off on him, and the idea of that makes me sick. I step closer to him, and push him back, knowing very well that he could easily kill me but at this moment I no longer care, right now he is just some son of a bitch who is sleeping with my wife, he slams into a table and falls to the ground. She is at his side immediately, she looks up at me with her tear filled eyes, pleading with me.
"Scott please, we can talk about this later"
"No we wont, because I am done with you, both of you" before I leave I cant help but notice that shes not wearing her wedding ring anymore, her ring finger is now bare and empty, exactly how I feel in this moment, as I walk out that door and down the hallway and out of the school I cant help of think about all that I just left behind, my marriage and Jean, I also cant help but think back to the past few months, trying to remember if she has even been wearing the ring at all.
