……………………………………………………………

Angel flew back the next morning, like he'd promised.

"Hey." He said, giving me a quick kiss, then pulling back, a look of concern crossing his face. "Didn't you get any sleep last night."

"Not much no," for more reason than you know, "But how was your dad?"

"He says that the mob outside has been thinning, which is a good sign. They're coming close to getting a cure without the boy, which I guess is also good because then he's not in any danger…But-"

"But?"

"But it's hard for me, to forgive him for what he's done."

"Well don't worry about that now." I told him, entwining my fingers in his hair, and looking deep into his eyes. "But I'm here if you need someone to talk to."

"Yeah I know. Do you need to talk about anything?"

I hesitated, knowing the right answer to the question.

"Yeah, but it can wait-"

"No, we can do it now. Come on, I'll take you to a nice spot I saw whilst flying back, not too far from here. Okay?"

"Okay." He brought his lips to mine again, before bending down, scooping me up and soaring towards the clouds, the wind rushing through my hair, as I clung to him tightly.

"I wanna try something." I said, after a few minutes.

"Yeah? What is it?"

"Could you hold me around my waist, and let me fly under you?" I asked.

He thought for a second,

"We could try." He replied, smiling down at me.

He removed his hand from under my legs, and let them swoop to the side, then he slid that hand around my waist, before doing the same with the other…And I was flying.

I put my hands out wide, laughing at how good it felt, beating up and down with Angel as I saw his wings thrust down. He pulled me closer, and placed his head at the side of mine.

"I'm not too heavy am I?" I asked loudly over the rushing wind.

"Not at all." He answered.

We flew together until he spotted the place, the sun beating at his back, and the warmth of his body keeping me safe and cosy, we could of stayed up there forever... Or until he dropped me because his arms had fallen off. However we lowered in huge circles to a cliff point that looked out on the sea. He set us down, as we ran slightly to stop ourselves.

I stood to look at the sea, and he came and hugged me from behind, his chin resting on my head. The salty wind whipped our hair back, as we listened to the crashing waves below.

"It's beautiful." I whispered.

"Yes you are." He replied.

"Déjà vu."

"mmmmm." He murmured, running his soft lips slowly from my shoulder to my neck. I felt so much safer with him then I did with Bobby, and his touch sent completely different vibes up my skin… But I had to ask in the back of my mind which I enjoyed more…and I couldn't answer. Bobby had uncertainty around him, but that made it slightly more…Exiting.

"So what were you going to tell me." He whispered in my ear.

I stiffened, being brought out of the discussion between the two sides of my heart,

"It'll spoil the moment." I breathed back, salt air rushing past us.

"Its better I know instead of worry." He commented.

"Okay." We both lay down on the glass together, and I propped my head up with my hand, whilst he lay next to me. I nervously started pulling the grass up from the ground, avoiding his gaze.

"Bobby's broken up with Rogue." I started.

"Right…"

"He said he did it because of me, because he loves me." I physically saw Angel stiffen.

"And?"

I felt a shock, "Doesn't it bother you."

He smiled up at me. "Only a bit… Unless you feel the same way back."

I hesitated, and the smile dropped from his face.

"Oh." He breathed out, "Right. I get it."

"No, it's not like you think…I do like you, a lot." I forced earnestly, taking his hand in mine and looking into his eyes. He seemed to believe me.

"But?"

I blushed, concentrating again on the grass.

"Well he tried to kiss me while you were gone…"

His muscles tightened again, making my heart speed up, and the grass fly from the ground in my nervousness.

"Did you kiss him?"

"No." I whispered.

"Good."

There was an awkward silence.

"So why are you telling me this?" he asked.

"Because he said he'd wait, and that he won't stop pestering me until I kiss him."

"So what are your feelings towards him?"

I hesitated again.

"I don't know." I whispered, "But I know that right now, I'm with you, and I don't want this to hurt our relationship."

He looked up at me and smiled.

"Don't worry Kitty, I do trust you, and that's all I needed to hear then, but don't kiss him." He warned.

"Deal?" I asked, unsure.

"Deal." He confirmed.

I relaxed back by his side, glad to of had some pressure off my chest, as we enjoyed the rest of the evening on the cliff top.

…………………the next day…………………..

I'd spent the night twisting and turning again, as if my the two sides of my heart were playing a table tennis battle and the ball was my Center of gravity.

I sat back in Storms' class, pretending to listen, but really drawing tiny hearts on my book. Before my heart was broken, now it's torn, and I can't even decide what's worse.

I can't make any decisions…I pondered.

"Kitty?" Angela asked softly.

"Do you wanna talk about whatever's on your mind?"

That shocked me, generally every time she picked up other people's emotions it shocked me, but this was different. She hadn't made a joke, or even ignored it, she genuinely wanted to help.

"Oh, um well kinda." I mumbled, not really knowing whether I should tell or not.

Here's a decision again, whoa brace yourself. What am I going to be like in the lunch queue? Will it be pizza or pasta? Pizza, pasta, no pizza, pasta.

"Yes. Yes I'd like to talk about it."

Wow a decision! Stand back girls we have our winner.

"At lunch?" she offered

"Sure."

…………………………………………………..

Lunch came too slowly, but the bell eventually rang. I didn't realise how much I needed to talk to a friend since all of this started until it actually happened. It was like uncorking a fountain and more water coming out than you thought, though Angela didn't look like she minded… After I was done talking my head off, I let out a breath and slumped back against the grass. We'd been eating outside because of the warm Summer weather.

"That's a tough one." She murmured. "Bobby or Angel…"

"I know. And it's not like I WANT to choose between them or anything."

"It's funny how they're actually not that different."

That's news to me.

"How so?"

"Well, they're kinda shy, handsome but cautious. Yet if they want something enough, they'll push for it."

I pondered for a while, too many thoughts rattling around in my head.

"But I'm going out with Angel. So if they're so different why can't I just be happy with him and ignore Bobby?"

"You're a woman, you want both."

We laughed out loud at the comment.

"Yeah, that's not far off the truth."

"So what're you going to do?" She asked, serious again.

"I was hoping you'd tell me."

"Well I think you should stay with Angel, and try to avoid Bobby. Because then you're not hurting them both as much... Whereas if you went with Bobby, you'd hurt Angel and feel worse yourself."

I let my torn heart decide.

"You know what."

"What?"

"That's not actually a bad idea."

She gave me a warm smile, "It's what I'm here for."

We eat some more of our pizza, (yes, I'd made another decision.) enjoying the feeling of the sun on our skin.

"How come you've changed all of a sudden anyway?" I asked

"How'dya mean?"

"Well you're a lot…warmer, lately."

"I think it was because of the whole Xavier thing...Made me realise I better start being nicer to people or I'll end up old, decrepit and no one'll turn up to my funeral."

Instead of retorting, I simply left the comment hanging in the air.

"Uh oh," she whispered. "Bobby and Angel over there, would think they'd be exchanging pleasantries."

"Oh shit." I cursed under my breath, whilst hauling myself off of the ground and running towards them, hearing their voices quietly.

"Just back off." I heard Angel say,

"Why, it's a free country."

"You're exploiting it."

I finally ran up to them.

"What's going on." I asked.

"Featherbrain's telling me to back off." Bobby summarised.

I moved from my position in-between to folding my arms and standing next to Angel.

"And?" I answered.

"Well I don't need your boyfriend telling me. If you really wanted me to back off you'd of said."

"Stop it." I breathed dangerously.

"Why? Because you don't want him to get hurt? When you know you'd rather be with me."

"Stop it. Back off." I said again.

"Well say it then!" He yelled

"Say what?" I shouted back

"That you'd rather be with him."

"Why should I have to prove my feelings to anyone?" I shouted back, my eyes filling with tears.

"Why should I have to lay awake at night wondering how I can cause people less pain then I'm already putting them through?"

"And why should you have the right to ask for my heart when it was you who broke it in the first place."

I let tears fall as I took a shaky breath, but keeping my eyes pinned on him.

He showed me such a look of pain that I almost softened.

"Kitty, how was I to know-"he started.

"You gave me every sign that you possibly could, that you liked me, and you know you did. Then you went out with Rogue like putting a knife through my chest…You could have used your eyes Bobby…" I cut back, "But I guess I was so invisible to you then that you really were blind anyway."

I was so angry that I was shaking, I turned round and headed for my next class.

"Kitty-"They both asked at the same time.I ignored them both and ran away, my torn heart breaking even more than I thought possible.

…………………..Angel / Bobby POV…………………

What have I done?

I never knew this is what had happened in the past. How could he do this to her?

Oh Kitty. I'm so so sorry. I've been a blind fool…

I need to find her, hold her. Let he know that I'm here for her even when everyone else isn't. I'll protect you Kitty. I love you…

She'll never love me back now, no, she already has. I just missed my chance. The ship has sailed. It's my fault I couldn't see it myself. I've let you down… I pushed when I should have waited. You waited for me, but I couldn't wait for you. I love you Kitty, and now you'll never know.

The two broke out of their individual thoughts.

"How could you Bobby? I can't believe she actually asked you to stop and you completely ignored her. You say you love her, but how can you if you can stand hurting her like this."

"I do love her." He whispered back.

"Great way of showing it." Angel bit back, his anger surging. He raced after Kitty, deeming it a better choice out of that or staying and punching Bobby.

Bobby was overwhelmed with emotions, guilt, anger, lust, love, grief. It was too much, he pick up his back and headed back to his room. If anyone asks where he was in class, he'd have to say he was ill.

Tears flowed from his torn face, his jaw clenched. He angrily swiped the tears away with the back of his hand.

……………..Later that day…………….

I was walked back to my room, barely noticing where I was going but by general routine my feet seemed to know the carpet because that'll all my eyes took in. I shouldn't of told him. He hasn't really wronged me, I mean he pushed but it wasn't that bad. He's right on that too, that I didn't resist. What I said earlier was complete bullshit. Words I thought I'd say to him if he got the chance. But he hasn't wronged me.

I realised I was standing outside Bobby's room, a soft sniffing coming from inside of it. The door was open, so I walked through.

"Bobby?" I asked.

He'd been sitting at the bed, his head in his hands. But as soon as I spoke, he whipped his head towards me, his blotchy face full on show.

"Kitty?" he asked quietly, as if I wasn't really there.

"Bobby, what I said… I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you, not this much. What I said, it wasn't your fault… I just-"

"You don't have to say anything." His words cutting through me. Was he angry at me?

"It's me who should be apologising."

"No! I was just so wrapped in my own little world that they're no way you-"

"Kitty. Stop talking for a minute."

I shut my mouth, the bumbling stopping. I sat down on his bed next to him.

"I have been wrong."

"But-"

"Listen to me. You're right, I should have noticed. And even when I did, I shouldn't have pushed you. But you must know: I never meant to hurt you, and I do love you. I'm just so sorry that I never realised. I've been such a fool, I just, I just…"

He looked at me, fresh tears in his eyes, and his face was inches from mine. He brought his face closer, until his lips were brought to mine, ever so softly and an electric shock ran through me, then he pulled back slightly, our foreheads still touching.

"I'm sorry-"

But it was too late, I kissed him back, his mouth came open in surprise as I slid my tongue in. His hand came back around to my neck, and I wound both of my hand in his hair. I felt my heart beat louder than ever before, my skin creating a million different vibes from his touch. His other hand came around and pressed at my back, we kissed harder still, so hard it almost hurt from the passion between us. My eyes generated new tears that fell freely down my face. Then I broke off.

"Oh God." I breathed, relinquishing my fingers from his hair and avoiding his gaze.

Angel's words rang clearly in my head: "I trust you Kitty…But don't kiss him."

"What have I done?" I asked myself.
