Jean grey aka Phoenix
God's way of saying 'I'll take you away'
Jean bit her nails as she sat on the floor by the door, an arm around herself, her left leg pulled up and her right foot moving in concord with a melody she was making in her head, a song she started to make a few months ago about Logan. It calmed her a lot to think about it and the lyrics she put in it and the melody she made up… She started to hum it very silently as she waited for Patricia. She did everything she could to stop the feeling in her stomach of a clock going backwards, counting down the minutes until she showed up.
When the front door burst open and swung violently and hit her since she was seating right besides it, she grunted and was on her feet immediately, that slight calm feeling that she had had a few seconds ago completely gone now.
She bit her lip as Patricia turned to her with a strange frown, taking off her sun glasses to take a better look at her. "What the hell are you doing seating by the door?" She had a very expensive white coat on and black pants, her brown hair loose and most of it on her face. If the situation was any different, Jean would have laughed because she looked like Cruela Devil. "Haven't I talked to you about answering me when I ask you something?" Patricia snapped and crossed her arms in front of her chest.
"I-I" Jean new she had to say something right now. "I was waiting for you."
"And why is that?" asked the older woman while starting to walk towards the mansion, followed by her assistant and Jean right after.
"I-I did something--and I…" Jean didn't know how to explain herself.
Patricia stopped and her assistant Antonia almost bumped into her. Patricia turned around slowly, giving Jean a look that sends shivers down the read-head's spine. "What did you do?"
Jean started panting, shaking all over. "I-I didn't know what was…" Jean trailed off, tears now rolling down her cheeks, some strands of her long raid hair which reached the small of her back, hung on her face and Jean tensed when Patricia came closer and roughly pushed her red hair back on her shoulder. It was a thing about Patricia; she liked to look into her eyes when she was scared.
"What.Did.You.Do?" Patricia asked her slowly, puncturing the words harshly but hushed.
Jean shivered again and started stammering, not making any sense and Patricia snapped. "I asked you a question Jean Elizabeth Grey!"
Jean jumped slightly and the words rushed out of her "I burned the top of your computer monitor."
Patricia only stared at her for a long time before giving a short laugh. "What?"
Jean bit her lip, her fingers trembling as she played with the hem of her shirt. "I-I was lighting scented candles, and I put them on top of the computer monitor, but I swear, I didn't know what was going to happen." Jean said while trying to stop her tears from falling.
Patricia didn't say a word, she just turned around and walked over to her office, followed by her assistant and Jean, who pressed herself against the wall and waited as Patricia saw the damage.
"Oh My God!" She yelled. "What the hell were you thinking?" She was still staring at her monitor while Jean was on the other side of the room, against the wall, a tear rolling down her cheek. "Are you fucking insane?" Patricia yelled angrily and dropped the bag in her hand to grab the stapler, and threw it Jean but she ducked and it hit the wall. Jean was shaking with fear as she crouched down on the floor and saying silent prayers, when Patricia's assistant intervened.
"Uh… Miss, you have a plane to catch," She said quickly, hopping to get Jean out of this situation without Patricia suspecting they were friends.
"When?" Patricia asked and still had her eyes on Jean, determined to make her suffer, even a little bit.
"In less than an hour, we have to leave now." The younger woman said quickly, her worried eyes also on Jean.
It was a miracle to Jean when Patricia simply left; telling her that when she was back she'd better had changed the monitor.
That night, after changing the monitor on Patricia's desk, Jean went to her room and grabbed her guitar and her notebook; playing and making notes of the song she called 'By Any Means Necessary'.
About an hour later, she decided to play another one, one she had finished not long ago, called' Take me Away'. She really like that one, it was slow, like most of her songs, and a little harsh…
I'm feeling like I'm drowning in this storm,
I don't think I have a chance anymore,
This pain and fear is taking over me,
Today I say to you Please, take me away.
I can't take this anymore,
This life couldn't have been meant for me no, no
The only thing that keeps me sane is you by my side,
And I say Please take me away tonight
How many times does Hell have to reach my side?
How many times does the world have to turn to black?
How many times does Heaven have to bleed my tears?
How many times do I have to say Please take me away?
But life isn't like a movie you see in the theater,
It can't all end with a happy ending no, no
I know it is impossible to run,
But I ask you anyway to Please take me away
Away from this fear screaming pain and sorrow
Away from this Hell of pure regret
Away from this place I have to call my home
Away, away… Please take me away…
How many times does Hell have to reach my side?
How many times does the world have to turn to black?
How many times does Heaven have to bleed my tears?
How many times do I have to say Please take me away?
Oh, Uh-Oh, Please just take me away…
I know that someday,
We'll go hand in hand,
Running away from all of this Uh-Oh…
I know I have sinned,
But not to deserve something like this
Is you by my side God's way of saying
'I'm looking after you, I'll take you from this'
How many times does Hell have to reach my side?
How many times does the world have to turn to black?
How many times does Heaven have to bleed my tears?
How many times do I have to say Please take me away?
How many times does Hell have to reach my side?
How many times does the world have to turn to black?
How many times does Heaven have to bleed my tears?
How many times do I have to say Please take me away?
Please take me away
"Nice." Jean was startled by Logan's voice from the door way, he was just standing there looking at her with those blue eyes which she liked to drown in.
"Thanks." She said and put her guitar down with shaky hands, giving him a shy look.
He chuckled and walked over to her, closing the door behind him. "You have a pretty voice." He knelled in front of her and kissed her before she could answer.
She couldn't explain that feeling when they kissed, it was just… Amazing. His tongue probing her lips lightly before pushing past them and into her sweet mouth, the way he put his hand on the back of her neck and caressed her face with his other hand, the way he held her… She couldn't explain the peace she felt.
When he pulled away there was a slight smile on her lips and her eyes were closed, and she opened them to see his blue ones, not wanting to ever look away and she knew, that yes, he was God's way of saying 'I'll take you away from this'.
"Do you wanna go out for dinner?" He asked her and she chuckled.
"Just because she isn't home doesn't mean we can just get out of the mansion whenever we want." Jean retorted, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Who said anything about leaving the mansion grounds?" He asked with a shrug and pulled her to her feet gently, holding her hand.
"Then what do you mean?" Jean asked curiously.
"The woods, we can have a picnic there." He said while walking outside with her.
"What?" Jean asked with a smile. "A picnic at this hour?" It was past 10pm.
"Well why not? You haven't eaten dinner and you haven't been out in ages, she won't be back until next week, so… why not?"
Jean thought about it for a while, but decided it might be fun. "All right."
Yes, indeed, he was God's way of saying 'I'll take you away'…
So what did you think? Was it ok? Reviews! I really did write that song, and soon you'll see the song 'By Any Means Necessary'. Tell me what you think of 'Take me Away'
