Chapter 9 – Reality Bites

The alarm clock sounded and Rogue lazily went out of bed, she completely forgot about the dream last night at least at the time being because of more important things at hand, she wet straight for a shower that morning and afterwards she opened her closet for her graduation clothes, as she was rummaging her closet, something feel on her feet, she picked up the hard paper and she froze as she did… 'Remy's card'… suddenly yesterday's dream came flooding down her system, it was all too clear for her as if it was flashing right in front of her, what surprised her the most it the happiness she felt while looking at it. She stopped for a moment and as if on cue, the door flew open.

"Hey like Rogue, you ready?"

"Almost Kit"

"A-huh hurry up or we'll be like late."

"Right, done let's go." Then they went to the garage to get their rides

"Where the hell is Scott? If we don't start to get going now, we'll be late for the ceremonies."

"Ah know ah haven't seen him, since dinner last night."

"Great… must be Jean…"

"What?" Rogue said in a semi-angry tone

"Hey guys what are you still doing here?" Wanda came in the garage walking hand in hand with John.

"Well apparently our ride has other things to do." Kitty said in a rude tone

"I'll drive you guys, hope on." John offered while opening his new wheels

The graduation went too slowly for Rogue, while Kitty was having the thrill of a lifetime in the arms of longtime partner Lance. It was a sunny day, and everyone was showing off happy faces, all except one… almost everyone at the institute was there, but Scott wasn't, Rogue was already worried but a little angry as she remembered her dream last night, she was afraid of it as a dream and it seems that it's finding its way to her side of the world, the mere mention of Jean's name earlier from Kitty didn't help either, she was feeling all the more ready to go home and see for self.

The drive home was somehow a relief; she was getting stressed at the amount of time the graduation was taking up. The sooner she gets home, the sooner she could clear this up. Everyone didn't talk to Rogue, all but a few congratulations from them, but she sensed something wrong, she wasn't numb after all and taking up human Psychology helped her a lot too, that although she can't possibly know what is going on with her friends minds, she could tell they know something they don't want her too, and looking at them was making her sick.

Upon arrival the others went to the kitchen right away to grab the food as everyone seems to be hungry, but not Rogue, she gave a lame excuse of feeling drowsy earned her a few minutes of going to the infirmary and getting some medicine, but instead of heading on the on the other rooms she went straight upstairs, she directly headed out for Scott's room and she open his door a little without a sound, what she saw was a concluding answer to all her questions but she didn't move, at least not yet, she stayed there and waited to what will happen next.

"I am so sorry Scott, what we had years ago was genuine, and it would be really stupid to waste is just like that."

"But you left me remember."

"Yes but that was different, we were so young and we want a lot of things, we both had ambitions. But now were more mature and we finally had what we were dreaming of before… only thing that's missing is each other.

"You wasted four years Jean."

"Those years filled with regret, I was only missing you more, I said that if I get through that much suffering without you then I'd be okay, but I was wrong, so wrong, life might have been much sweeter with you."

"It was-." Jean then stopped Scott from speaking by placing a finger on his lips

"Scott, I've… we've both endured a lot and I just came back to know one thing… I know I have a lot of explaining to do but I want to know if my explaining would be worth it. I want to know if you still love me Scott, because I still love you so much."

"Jean I… truth is, I never stopped loving you, you were always in my mind and you never left me." Then he stepped closer and kissed Jean passionately.

It was the most disgusting thing Rogue had ever seen, she opened the door widely this time but it looks like neither of them were even noticing, and she felt like déjà vu. It was then that she turned around running towards her room, crying 'that slut' she muttered around.

"BITCH!"

"SCOTT YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE!"

She kept shouting this words till she reached her door, she felt so stupid and used, it was all a joke, a terrible one at that, it war ruining her completely, little did she know that she was being watched, a person who saw the whole thing.

Wanda went to the rec room with worry and regret plastered on her eyes "I have to do this' she thought as she went in front of the telephone, she was about to pick up the phone to make a call when the door bell suddenly rang; feeling that it was necessary to open the door since all the other students were happily celebrating in the dining hall. When she opened the door a weird looking man greeted her, with a merry smile.

"Bonjour petite, Remy be congratulating ya and mon ami." Referring to his best friend John.

"Remy, I almost didn't recognize you, how did you know?"

"John told moi, dat Remy be de Best man o' ya wedding, don't know why in de wedding only, wen Remy be sure he is de best man everywhere in de world."

"Whatever, sure you are Remy." Wanda said for a moment tolerating Remy's self administered compliment.

"Well how be de bebe?"

"Quiet Remy, nobody else knows besides John, You and Rogue."

The mere mention of her name caused Remy a jolt that Wanda noticed, for a few moments nothing was exchanged rather than mere silence and Wanda's late ushering for Remy to come in. Moments later it was Remy who broke the silence.

"By de way, how's chere?"

"Aw that" Wanda hesitated for a moment, and then she just shrugged at comment "she graduated this morning, they are having a party at the dinning hall, for her and the other students, I can lead you there, and John is there too."

"Remy thinks he'll pass, after all, Remy not sure if Chere wants moi there, besides that cocky homme o' hers be dere."

"I won't have to worry about that if I were you."

"Why not?" Wanda then gave Remy the speech of a lifetime while she told him what she saw, that transpired upstairs, between her step sister and the former/new lovers a while ago.

The next morning was rather a silent one, nobody ever asked why Rogue didn't come down for her own party, she was known to not like those kind of things but at least she already loosened up along the years so it gave everyone a puzzled reaction, until Wanda came in the dinning area, after going up to Rogue's room to bring dinner and telling them that Rogue was sick and that she needed rest. Some of them was still unsatisfied of their answers and rose up different speculations about her, since they seemed to notice that Scott wasn't there either. Everyone seems intrigued because even if they were already officially a couple, never once did they got laid, much to everyone's disappointment of seeing the untouchable become someone like them too.

It was that same morning that they concluded that their speculations no matter how exciting didn't come true, entirely since Scott showed up next morning kissing a former resident Jean Grey, the scene definitely earned a lot of raised eyebrows practically of how a big cheater Scott is, and a lot of fights broke out just that morning and it's not even 10 o'clock in the morning, but the fights were usually verbal since one wrong move could earn them an expulsion at the Xavier institute. But of course the resident dynasties with the membership of the siblings Wanda, Pietro and Kurt were first on the list to get Scott and not to mention of course, the older sister's angry fiancée and an outraged best friend Kitty, while the others didn't seemed to care, or was too afraid to talk.

All of this but Scott and Jean didn't seem to care; they just continued their routine of kissing even in front of them angering them more. A new fight was about to break out when a newly dressed Remy LeBeau entered the kitchen, everyone seemed to look at him in astonishment, they knew about his feelings for Rogue, from way back, and they knew, everyone including Scott, all except Jean that the reason that the Cajun left was because of the Rogue Scott relationship, but that was so long ago, what they didn't know was if the feelings inside Remy was still there. As if reading their minds Remy made his way, in front of Jean Grey giving her a loud slap.

"Desole, Remy does not do dat ta ladies. But he feels that ya deserved it!" Jean was surprised as she felt the pain tugging along her red left cheek; she then just rushed upstairs to the bathroom, obviously to look at the damage.

"How dare you!" Scott said angrily at Remy. "How dare you hit Jean." He was about to hit Remy with his clenched fists when a strong hand stopped him from doing so

It was then that Remy answered back "And how dare you hit on ma chere den go cheatin on her." Remy stated returning the favor but this time hitting Scott square on his face. Everyone watched in amusement as blood started to come out of Scott's nose. It was then that he just brushed Remy's hand away from his, as he proceeded to his room, it was so astonishing and degrading that the other man was much more stronger that him.

Upstairs, the same kind of tension was ongoing as Jean Grey emerged from the bathroom with revenge on her eyes as she quickly recalled the door to Rogue's room, upon reaching it, she opened the door without even knocking. Rogue grasped upon hearing her door creaking and you can't decipher the heat that her eyes felt as she eyed the woman she most hated in front of her. Without time to recover from the first shock, Jean stepped in front of the younger.

"Mind if I take back what's mine?" she said as she slapped Rogue's cheeks in return for Remy slapping hers "and oh, that's for your idiot gambling friend who hit me downstairs"

The younger girl just eyed her expressing her deep hatred

"Roguey, my, my how time changed you so much, I wonder why you aren't fighting me no more, oh must be because you missed me. I saw you last night, when you opened the door, I know you were there, I just don't know how long, but long enough to know that Scott and I are back together again and that oops little Rogue here just lost her boy friend, oh how sad, must really hurt but really the truth is you were just a plaything Rogue, Scott never loved you, it was just so that he can keep me out of his head, but unfortunately he was unsuccessful, because how ever can you go against true love. You know, a piece of advice from an old friend, two toned hair is so a fashion over kill. Satisfied Jean started to walk out of the room.

Two clenched fists formed in Rogue's hand, as she held out to Jean's stopping her and pulling her back against the room.

"Yah know what miss Grey, first, ah like my hair as it is, at least ah ain't the most hated person almost everywhere ah go because of thinking dat ahm de most beautiful girl walkin in de earth when all it is, is a cover up fo' a real failure, a real loser who is really a quiter wen yah can't get what yah want… and hell will break lose if ah say ah even missed yah fo' a millisecond, and well ah ain't fighting cause yer not worth mah time but since yah asked fo' it, here's a piece of what's goin on in mah mind! ah don't care bout yah or Scott at least anymore cause dat wud mean ahm worthless too, like what you both are. And a piece of advice… actually both yah and Scott make such a cute couple, yah both are stupid losers… and one mo' thin' ah ain't yer friend not now, nor before so don't call meh that!" Rogue pushed her towards the door and almost fell down, if only Scott didn't catch her.

"What's all this Rogue!?" asked an angry Scott, at that moment Jean bursted into tears

"Oh my God Scott, that woman wants to kill me, she's a maniac!" Jean said as she cuddled to Scott's arms

"It's okay Jean"

"Dat makes meh want tah puke!"

"Scott, please make her stop."

"Rogue, leave us alone!"

"Leave yah alone, she was dah one who came in here, in dah first place."

"Scott that's not true, she pulled me in here."

"Why yah lying bitch!"

"Don't you ever talk to Jean like that."

"Now ahm dah culprit ahm ah, well guess what yah and yer Jeanie can spend yer whole lives being a menace to each other just don't yah ever bother meh again." Rogue said as she pushed both out the door with much strength "and oh before yah go… here's yer stuff sugah!" Rogue said as she threw a box full of the things Scott gave her for the past four years that they were together, and then she slammed the door, really hard.

Rogue stayed in her room rethinking and processing everything that just happened, she cant help but to feel so unfortunate, turns out that the answer to her problems turned out to be a problem of it's own, what hurt most was that when she was about to let go of every single thing that's holding her back, she was betrayed and used one's again, and worst was she did in the hands of the person she loves. It was like feeling that being cheated was her best asset. And it hurt a lot; it hurts to be always misunderstood. She hurts like hell… that's how she felt every time someone eats her from the inside, and she just couldn't trust anymore, not even herself because her own feelings betrayed her, it was her emotions that gave her away, the only one she gave her heart to, broke it into a million pieces, and it was all her fault for not being careful.

Love, trust, selflessness and appreciation… it's all lost, and she never can find it, she lost all hope… yes, she never found it too… it was all fake, all bogus, an illusion, worth killing for. Fate, it betrayed her, and so scorned were her wounds.

As time goes by she realizes that it never change it's courses, there is no other way but to accept or else you'll fall in a pit of sour nothingness, drowning in self pity, it's suicide, cause it's killing you inside. It's not worth to be in the possession of obliviousness. … it's just so hard to admit it but it feels as if even the world gets even, if you can't be punished in a dream, you face the thorns outside of it, and it sucks just to fell so alone and down, when there's no where else to go, no where else to run to, you'll just feel the wrath of it, you face the fact that reality bites.

Well how bout that?? Well more Jean bashing in the next chappies or so… I apologize that I am not a good writer of war in Xavier mansion but I guess I know now why I chose the student's to have no powers… if they do, Jean would have been dead… well so much for that huh…

No more Scrogue… I promise
