Remy couldn't believe it.
How could someone do that to such a beautiful and graceful creature.
He was, in other words, ticked.
He just wanted to kill that stupid son of a two headed jackle!
Maybe he'd call Wade and let him torture him with his many knives and Bea Arthur.
Maybe he'd tell Badger and let the claws unleash.
Maybe he'd charge his shirt and let it explode.
But...what if Rogue, by some strange chance, loved that stupid jerk?
What if she convinced herself that no one would ever love her like she was and told herself that it was real and took the abuse?
Oh, man, did his heart ache for his Rogue.
LINE BREAK
"Rogue what in God's name are you wearing?" Rogue's yankee boyfriend, Joseph, yelled.
"Clothes. Duh."
SMACK!
Rogue rubbed her cheek.
"Don't get smart with me."
"Yes, Joseph. Sorry, Joseph."
They walked in together, found their seats and Joseph sat.
Rogue waited for him to get up and pull out the seat, then gave up and sat down.
"So what was so important that Ah had ta come ovah here for?"
Joseph smiled, "I've found this doctor. He says he can make you normal."
Rogue sighed. It was always about some doctor. To make her normal. Don't get her wrong, she did want to touch, but not at the expense of losing her powers.
Those are what made her different. They were the only things that belonged to her.
She'd tell him off. Tell him that she was normal. But she didn't believe that. After being told some thing long enough, you begin to believe it.
Plus she didn't want to get hurt again.
"That sounds great, Joey."
Joseph glared darkly. "What did I tell you about calling me Joey?"
Rogue winced. "To stop?"
"Right. Good girl."
Later after they ate, they went to the surgeon dude, it turned out to fail.
Oh well, at least she had her health.
"Well that was eventful," Rogue said sarcastically.
He hit her. Hard.
She moved away. Trembling. Tears in her eyes.
"Ah-Ah'm sorry, it wasn't mah place to speak lahke that. At least yah tryed to help."
"Good girl."
Line Break
Remy saw them come into veiw in his window. It was about midnight.
The Joseph dude looked like a mini Magneto. Cradle robber.
Rogue didn't even look at him.
He could see them talking and then the next thing he knew Joseph punched Rogue, sending her to the floor.
Remys eyes glowed.
She got up and looked like she was apologizing. Then he said something hurtful and Rogue looked like she was going to cry and walked away. He grabbed her arm real hard and moved her closer.
Then whispered something in her ear and she gulped and then he let her go, pushing her to the ground again. She looked at him and let her head fall.
Jerk-seph left. Rogue started crying.
This was the second time in one day he saw her cry.
He ran outside to her.
Line break
Rogue was crying. She never cried unless she was at her boiling point, it was about her dad or powers, or that one time when she saw some chick flick with Kitty.
Kitty tricked her by saying there were explosions in the movie. Liar.
Well, anyway, Rogue was crying. She was depressed.
She got up and went to the cliff.
Just one step and this horrible, horrible nightmare would be over.
If she cut her self, which she usually does, she'd end up with new scars. That wouldn't help. If she ran away, she'd still be with this stupid curse called a gift. But if she jumped...it would end all of her misery.
Plus it wasn't like anyone would miss her. Sure, Kitty and Kurt would be pretty broken up about it, but after a month or two they'd get over it.
Logan would be sad, but he wouldn't cry.
Remy. He was just a casual friend. She never took him seriously anyway.
Her "mama" hated her. Her parents were dead.
And Joseph...She wondered if he would even care.
"Rogue! Don'"
She turned around to see Remy running.
"What?" She asked inocently.
Remy gave her a look and raised his hand, Rogue flinched.
Remy looked at her surprised, he caressed her hair.
"Y' were about ta jump."
Rogue gaped at him in mock surprise.
"Nah! Ah was jus'...lookin' at tha view..."
Remy touched her face with his gloved hand, "Rogue. I know when yer tryin' ta lie. Yer bad at it."
Rogue sighed.
"I saw the whole t'in'."
Rogue looked at him worriedly. "Y-yah did?"
Remy nodded. Then he looked at her face. It had a small bruise on it.
Remy touched it. Rubbing his gloved thumb on it.
Rogues lip quivered. Then tears started forming.
She had to go.
She ran to her room. And locked the door.
Not that it would affect her roomate. She'd just end up phasing through the door.
There she cried. For hours. Until she finally cried herself to sleep.
There she dreamt of being loved, no powers, no Magneto look alikes, no arguments, no sadness. Just her and someone who looked a lot like...Remy.
Will weirdness ever ceise to bother her?
