Chapter Three.

Rogue found herself walking out of the mansion gates, she couldn't take the stares or the whispers from everyone, she knew they were all thinking she was a traitor, no one wanted to be around her, except Jubilee and Logan they were the only ones who told her everything would be okay. Storm refused to look at her, she couldn't blame the women when the cure was first heard of Storm made it clear how she felt but then again she could control the weather not put people into comas and cause death.

Kicking the rocks in front of her feet, Rogue began to question her decision, although she felt like she had betrayed everyone back home, she felt like she was a freak among freaks, because most people decided to stay away from her because they didn't want to be knocked unconscious if she were to accidentally touch them even though she was covered head to toe in clothing. Although she felt she made the right one, Rogue knew she could never be truly happy if she would end up spending her life alone.

She knew see would always be alone, the professor said she wasn't making any progress, Bobby was moving on to Kitty, Logan never took interest being focused on Jean all the time, and he was either away or pining after the red head. Letting out a sigh, Rogue found she had walked to the park about a mile away from the mansion, sitting down on a near by bench, she ended up placing her head in her hands, her bare hands, her now curse free hands.

Taking a deep breath Rogue looked up noticing someone was in front of her, turning her head up she came across a face she hadn't seen in months, someone she thought she had turned their back on her the minute he left the jet. Gulping she stood up, never coming close to sizing up said person but enough to stand her ground and be in clear eye-sight.

Nothing was said for moments that felt like hours, Rogue thoughts were racing a hundred miles and hour with what she should say, shout, rant, scream at the man in front of her but all she could do was raise her hand and make it collide with his cheek. She felt tears sting her eyes.

She raised her hand to smack him again but was stopped when her wrist was caught and twisted, Rogue found herself being pushed behind some trees and shrubs, wincing at the pain surging from her wrist she could only focus on the anger beaming into her from the mans eyes.

'Stupid move Rogue, really stupid.' Said the familiar face.

' You deserve so much worse then what I just did.' Rogue replied threw her teeth.

'I deserve things coming to me really Rogue, really your going to say I need slapping, at least I didn't turn against my own kind like you did.' He shouted in her face making Rogue close her eyes and dip her head she couldn't look at him.

'I wanted to be able to touch someone, you wouldn't know what its like to know you can never have children, a husband, a boyfriend- one who isn't going to turn his back and go running off after someone else because he's getting nothing from the girl he claims to love.' Rogue spat back, ' Don't come at me with lessons Pyro, you turn against your friends, you real family because you wanted power.'

Noticing now her wrist was free, Rogue stepped away from the pyromaniac, afraid he was about to spew hell all over her.

'Don't claim you know anything about me of the decisions I make in my life, your not worth that part of my life.' He said stepping forward trapping her between him and a tree.

'Your wrong I know you better then anyone John, You confided in me and I you, but then you turned your back on the x-men on me.' she pleaded with him to understand she knew him, to get him to confide in her again about his reasons for turning on her.

'Don't pretend you care about me.' he sneered

'Im not pretending, I do care, I care about you John, I always have you were my best friend and you left me.' she replied noticing she was so close to his face she could feel his own breath against her lips.

' Thats right you best friend just you friend, nothing more when you got with Drake, to busy with that preppy icicle, and when you hit a snag then i was your go to guy. Your pathetic Rogue, I left for many reasons, one I was tired and seeing you with him and not giving a damn about me until you and Drake hit the rocks, I was tired of only being around when you needed me but never truly needed me.' John said focusing in on her eyes, and holding her in place.

' You were more then a go to guy, I could talk to you about anything and everything, Im sorry if it felt like I kept you on the side, but I turned to you because you knew how to make me feel better, you could have told me to not talk about him, or told me not use you like that even though I never intended to but you didn't why's that you had a chance tell me why.'

'Because it was the only time I could be alone with you, it was the only time I could imagine it being just me and you, where I could...' he stopped and looked away.

'Could be what, could be what John?' She asked eager making him turn his face.

'Where I could wish you were with me and not Drake.' He said, nose to nose now, looking deep in her eyes for a reaction.

'John...'

His lips crushed hers before she could continue. There was so much passion...
