Breaking Up Chpt.2

Logan could still smell her on him just as he could smell him on her. Kitty smelled like many things: burnt muffins, Britney Spears Fantasy perfume, her stuffed dragon that she drooled on, school, Lance, Pete, but what pissed him off most was that she smelled of Gumbo, Rogue's boyfriend.

It was obvious, at least to him that Kitty had slept with Gambit. He was equally disappointed with both of them. At first he was more upset with Kitty. Kitty knew how hard life had been on Rogue. She knew first hand that Rogue didn't trust easily and it was a long time before she started to open up. She knew how Rogue tried to at first avoid people because of her powers, but when she tried to make friends she rarely got any. But when she finally did start to have friends she trusted them hard.

Gambit of course didn't know about Rogue's past but even he could see how much he meant to her and he would do that to her and didn't have the balls to say anything to Rogue about it. Yet Logan had noticed as of late the signs. The signs that a man wants to break up with a woman. He started to make himself distant. He would never hold her hand anymore and he would spend more and more time away from her. He also didn't tease her as much.

Rogue seemed to not notice this. Maybe Gumbo was hoping that she would break up with him. No such luck. Logan wanted to tell Rogue, but felt that she needed to know the truth for herself. In the end it would be better for her that way.

Today however he noticed Gambit leading Rogue away towards a more reclusive area of the mansion so he decided to follow.

"Rogue, I wanta tell ya sometin." He said stopping and looking her in the eyes. Rogue's green eyes focused on him. She wondered if he wanted to talk about their relationship, or maybe he was going to tell her he had bought them Sadie Hawkins dance tickets, or maybe he was going to tell her he loved her. She had been waiting to hear that from him since she told him a week ago that she loved him.

"Go head." She smiled at him.

"Rogue we cant do tis no more."

"Do what?"

"Rogue we have ta break up."

"Why?" she said feeling her face warm red.

"Rogue I really care about ya an if I woulda met ya a few years ago thangs would had ended differently between us."

"Wat ya mean by if we met a few years ago?" she cried.

"When I came here it's true tat I sought ya out wit much effort might I add, but wat ya didn know is tat I'm engaged Rogue. I'm getting married in April an I'm bringin my fiancé up next week ta stay here wit me …"

"You … you … knew," she was writhing in her anger, her vision blinded by tears, "You dated me knowin tat ya were getting married! Wat was I to ya! Some some tramp or …"

"No if anything ya aint a tramp. Ya see Rogue I just wanted one last romp before I got married. I sought ya out, but I didn't plan on not being able ta touch ya an carin about ya so much."

"Ya jus wanted ta use me!"

"In a way yes I did. But it aint really like tat between us." He said walking towards her.

"Don't touch me! I cared about ya. I told ya tat I loved ya, but all I was to ya was a play thang!"

"I cared about ya Rogue, I aint never want ya ta fall in love with me."

"Thanks ya did a great job wit tat." She said sarcastically turning her back on him.

"Rogue we have ta break up an I don't want us ta be weird ya know. I know tat you'll hate me, but fer Bella's sake …"

"Where was Bella's sake a damn month ago!"

"Rogue …"

"Wat else hav ya done behind my back cause apparently ya jus cant trust any damn one in te world besides yer self."

"Tat aint true Rogue. An I did cheat on ya once."

"Well damn, wats next, ya gonna tell me I got Aids now?"

"No, I slept wit someone …"

"Who."

"I shouldn't …"

"Who!"

"Ya aint gonna like it."

"Well yer good at tellin me thangs I don't like! Now who was it!"

"Kitty." He said watching her go green. Turning green was something he always mistook as a saying until he saw her face. Her body shook so violently now that her hair continued to sway and her tears blanketed her shirt.

"As in Katherine Pride, Shadow Cat, Lance's girl, Kitty."

"Yes."

"Do ya hav no shame. Why kitty," she said knocking him to the ground before she started to kick him, "Why sleep wit my best friend? Sure everyone and their father knows tat Kits easy but why her if ya knew how much she mattered ta me! (kick) Why did ya do tis ta me! (kick) Why did ya make me love ya an (kick) take everything away from me! (kick) Why would ya treat me like tat (kick) after I told ya I loved ya (kick). Where's trust an an an love like wat te other girls get (kick) I hate you! (kick) I fu(kick)ckin (kick) hate (kick) yer (kick) ass!"

Logan watched Rogue beat him senseless which he deserved noticing that Gambit didn't fight back. In fact Gambit looked almost as hurt as Rogue did. Almost.

Finished with Gambit she ran off towards the mansion. She needed to take her anger out on something. Kitty so happingly was on the top of her hit list.

Rogue found Kitty in the game room watching tv with Kurt. Some of the others were there two, but she couldn't really see them because she was crying so much. She saw Kurt come to ask her what's wrong. Rogue pushed him out of her way.

Kitty could tell that Rogue was angry. Very angry and judging by the tears she had found out.

"Like Rogue it was an accident …" she said as she tried to run.

"Ya slept wit Remy! He told me !"

Lots of the XMen looked astounded at the new discovery and equally angry. Kurt tried to comfort her, but she would have none of it. She yanked her by her ponytail and pulled her on to the ground. With blurry eyes she kept missing her punches not really seeing that Kitty was phasing through them. So she started yanking her hair out of her scalp. Yanking and pulling, yanking and pulling.

Kitty phased away and ran with Rogue not far behind throwing everything she could at her to make her trip. Eventually Kitty got tired of phasing so Rogue leapt at her. All she got was her legs but that was enough for Rogue.

She started to claw Kitty's leg.

"Rogue stop. You're hurting me!" Kitty screamed.

"I don care!"

"I'm sorry Rogue please just like let me go?"

Kitty tried to free herself. Luckily Kurt teleported Rogue away, unfortunately it looked like she had just lost a lot of friends in the process.

"Let me go!" she shouted at Kurt.

"Rogue please remain calm."

"Let me go!" she whined until Kurt let her go. He wanted to stay but she turned violent. She wanted out, but he refused to let her. He teleported outside her door just in time to hear the vase shatter on the other side of the door.

"Is she ok?" Jean asked running to Kurt.

"She's lost her mind."

"Let me out! Let me out!" Rogue banged on the door. Rogue was hurt and she was having trouble expressing her anger, her frustrating, her hurt, and however else she felt. She wanted to hurt Gambit and Kitty like they had hurt her, but that wasn't enough right now. She didn't know what she wanted right nor or what she needed.

What she did know was that she needed to hurt something so for now she settled with throwing her lamps, breaking her mirror, ripping her bed coverings, tearing some clothes, breaking cd's, knocking over the TV, jumping on her bed to knock down the light fixture, swearing, banging on the door, and pounding her fist into anything else not previously mentioned.

"Rogue calm down." Kurt said as he teleported back in with Jean.

"No!"

"Rogue I know that you're hurting, but we're your friends. Let us help." Jean tried speaking gently to her.

"Let me out or I swear I'll jump through the window!" Rogue hissed.

"Don't jump!" Logan said now entering followed by Gambit.

"Why not. No one wants me here! No one cares what I want! No one cares about me!" Rogue shouted as she crept closer to the window.

"Anna please calm down …"

"Don't you dare talk ta me!" She shouted directly at Gambit.

"I've scanned her mind Logan, she's losing it quickly. I think we should try to approach her calmly and for God's sake why is he here?" Jean glared at Gambit while speaking to Logan.

"I'm here cause I know she'll listen ta me." Gambit defended.

'Listening to you is what got her like this in the first place!" Jean hissed.

"Rogue listen to your brother … step away from the window …please." Kurt pleaded. After a few minutes passed she came closer to him.

"That's it Rogue. Come here. We can … bake cookies together or something."

"I don like cookies."

"We can make vwhatever vyou vwant sis."

As she made her way to Kurt Gambit came into view again so she stopped.

"Rogue yer better than tis, now snap out of it. I know ya mad at me but ya cant go around breakin thangs cause I hurt ya. Life isin't always fair."

"Yer right. Life aint fair so wat's te point of livin then?" she asked picking up two pieces of glass.

"STOP!" The others said collectively. Jean used her powers to push Gambit out. Logan ran to Rogue seeing that she wouldn't stop and grabbed her arms.

"Let me go Logan. I don't wanta live no more. Let me go. I hate life! I hate pain! I hate bein here!"

"You don't mean that Stripes." Logan said. He couldn't believe he had to actually struggle to stop her from stabbing her self. Of course Jean and Kurt removed the glass so Rogue tried to reach for more glass until all of a sudden she fell to the ground.

"Is she dead!" Kurt asked.

"No, she is simply sleeping." The Professor said rolling in.

"When she wakes up will she try to kill herself again."

"More or less. I know its unorthodox Logan, but I would advise that while she is unconscience to tie her to one of the beds in the med bay for the time being."

"Hmm. Kurt, take Rogue downstairs for now. Jean go stop the kids from trying to kill Kitty. Scott (he had recently walked in) find Gumbo, we all need to have a little talk with him."
