When they arrived at the Institute, disappointment waited.

"What do you mean Logan's gone?" Rogue snapped at Kitty, who took a cautious step back, from the furious brunette.

"He just left, you know," Kitty said, eyeing Gambit from top to bottom suspiciously, "We don't know where."

"Well find out!" Rogue hissed, "Look Kitty, it's your fault this is happening. Talk to everyone you can think of and find where the hell he is!"

"God, geez Rogue," Kitty left Logan's bedroom. Gambit sighed, "You don't have to-"

"Shut up," Rogue interrupted. She went to the window, to calm herself down. After a moment of silence, besides heavy breathing from Rogue, Gambit murmured:

"Why did you come get me?"

Rogue looked at him intensely, "Logan was getting bad." "Bad?" Gambit asked curiously.

"Right before I left, Scott, one of the other students…he found a knife under Logan's bed."

"He cut himself?" Gambit asked.

"Nah. He just wanted something to play with," Rogue remarked sarcastically.

"Why are you so angry?" Gambit said, clam as can be.

"Cause I don't got nobody except Logan. Now you come running in, playing with his heart like a cheap trinket. It just don't float my boat."

"I broke up with him because I didn't want him to get hurt…" Gambit said, a bit defensive, "I do love him. I always will."

"He don't know that," Rogue said, shoving Gambit lightly back, "And now he's gone."

"You seem like you're jealous of us…" Gambit said a hint of a smile on his face.

"Don't tell me about me," Rogue hissed, "You don't know me."

"You don't know me either, but you go on judging me," Gambit shot back. "I know you broke Logan's heart," Rogue shot back just as quick, "That's all I need."

"I didn't intend to hurt him in such a way!" Gambit retorted.

Rogue smirked, "I don't care what you meant to do."

"Sometimes people make mistakes-"

"Not when they involve people I love."

"I need you to not hate me," Gambit pleaded, "Logan has talked about kids here, but you, you're a daughter to him. I can't have his kid hating me."

"Who's fault is that?" Rogue spat, "Not mine. Just yours."

"Why don't you understand that I do love him? I was trying to save him, protect him! Magneto would hurt him; I couldn't live with myself if that happened."

"Why should I believe you?"

"Cause I'm not lying to you, I swear. I had to end it before the guys hurt him, my Cheri."

"Really? And I bet you had to join Magneto too? Huh?"

"That was a mistake!"

"Yeah, it was. And so is hurting Logan. If he still didn't love you, I'd kick your ass so hard it'd-"

"Rogue," Kitty entered, "Prof has found him, he's up in the mountains, at some cabin place."

"Name?" Rogue asked. "Saint Vic Camping Lodge," Kitty answered.

"Great," Rogue headed for the door.

"No!" Gambit stopped her, "Let me go."

"Tomorrows' Valentines Day," Rogue replied, "You better make things better by then, for him, or I will kick your ass."

"Yep, so far it's- can I go now?" Gambit asked. Rogue nodded. "Merci," he ran to the window, "Bye." He jumped out of it and disappeared.

"He's cute," Kitty smiled.

"HE'S LOGAN'S!" Rogue slammed the door.
