Chapter 4:
Wanda was sitting around the kitchen table along with Jean, Rogue and Kitty, wedding catalogue spread before her. The three other girls were talking animatedly over the frills of the weddings while Wanda sat quietly staring down into her cup of coffee.
Her thoughts were definitely not on the wedding of her two close friends. No, they were on the letter she had found when she had gone to check the mail. A letter from Lance. She had read it over at least 10 times, before actually believing the words. They were pretty much committed to memory.
Dear Wanda:
I know this must be really weird for you. I mean, I go away promising to write and keep in touch. I didn't. And now after not hearing from me for over a year, all of the sudden I'm popping back into your life. I know I owe you an explanation. And I will give it to you. I'll be arriving in Bayville in a couple of days. I hope we'll have a chance to talk. I just want you to know that I care about you.
Yours, Lance Alvers.
"Wanda, Wanda," she heard someone call and suddenly saw fingers snapping in front of her face.
"Oh," Wanda said, startled out of her thoughts. "Sorry about that."
"Are you ok?" Kitty asked, concern written on her face.
"Yeah. I'm just fine," she replied, forcing a smile.
Jean didn't buy the smile, "Are you sure? Is everything all right between you and Evan?"
"Yeah. Evan and me are just fine. You guys don't worry. I just spaced out for a second. That's it," Wanda said adamantly.
Rogue, knowing what was bothering her decided that they should take a break, "Listen guys, why don't we take ah break. Lets say we be back here in an hour. Ok?"
"Yeah sure. I think I'll go wake Micheal up," Jean said, smiling at the thought of her boyfriend.
"Yeah Kurt's probably still asleep too," Kitty said, looking over at the kitchen clock. It was 11:00am.
"Ok see ya guys later," Rogue told them, remaining at the table with Wanda.
Once they were alone she spoke up, "So ya got another one?" Rogue asked, referring to Lance's letters.
"Yeah," Wanda practically whispered.
"So? What did it say this time?" she asked.
"Pretty much the same thing as the last one. He'll be here in a couple of days. And I don't know if he thinks everything will be the same as before? I'm with Evan now," she said, frustrated.
"How do ya feel about Evan?" Rogue asked her.
"You know how I feel about him. I love him so much. Whenever I'm with him I feel safe. I mean he helped me out when Lance stopped writing and through the whole Apocalypse thing. And he loves me too. All he wants to do is make me happy," Wanda said with much conviction.
Rogue nodded and then asked, "And Lance? How do ya feel about him?"
"I'm... I'm not sure. This past year pretty much put him out of my mind and focused on Evan and I. I know I did care about him before he left. Lance was a good friend to me when I found out about what my father did to me. I'm so confused. I'm eager to see him and dreading it at the same time," Wanda ranted.
"Ah see," Rogue said.
"I told Evan about his letter," Wanda continued. "I know he took it all right. But I know him too well and I know he's worried that Lance is coming to steal me away or something."
"And is he?" Rogue asked.
"Is he what?" Wanda questioned.
"Is he going ta steal ya away from Evan?" she stated.
"Of course not! I love Evan, nothing will change that. Not even Lance's return," Wanda said determinedly. But not feeling as sure as she sounded.
Well I hope you liked it.
