Scott's P.O.V
I take leave from the professor and get back upstairs to the infirmary. When I entered beast was already there checking up on her. he wrapped up his usual rounds and was about to leave when I entered.
"how is she? Any improvement?", I ask him with a blank expression in my eyes. I have lost the ability to show emotions after this had happened. To be precise I myself am unaware of my feelings at this moment.
Beast just nods his head in disagreement suggesting that she was still in square one. But his consoling kind words do little to comfort me. I pass him by and get inside. There she was lying on the bed with all wires and stuff hanging around her. the room was extremely quiet except for the periodic beeping of all the equipment surrounding her. I go upto the window and open it up letting fresh air gushing into the room. I take a look at my wrist watch that jean gifted me for Christmas earlier. It showed 9 o clock.
I take a seat beside her bed and watch her as though I am seeing her beautiful face for the very first time. I graze my hands over her smooth face and brush aside strands of her off her forehead.
" you sure do know how to make me worry!", I say to her as though she can hear me.
" how long are you gonna shut yourself away from the world?"
I realise my tears making their way down my cheeks as I speak. Still I can see no movement whatsoever not even a single wiggle of her eyebrows.
"please give me a sign! Any sign that you are alive! Please jean I beg you! I have had enough of you playing around like this", I break down and cry like a baby! The fearless leader of the x men breaking down and crying out loud, now that is something that you don't see everyday!
I become tired all of a sudden! I realise that I haven't been sleeping properly since jean fell into a coma. Everyone in the institute got the news that I had proposed to her the evening when everything went berserk. I told them myself and everyone came and stood by my side and gave me moral support including the brotherhood.
Exhaustion takes over and I realise myself closing my eyes before seeing her again for the last time that day.
I am having a dream and jean is there sitting beside me in a bench out in the mansion grounds. She is saying" I have a surprise for you" and quickly drags me away to a place where we can see the sunset together. She is telling me to close my eyes and quickly places her fingers on each side of my forehead. Before I could do anything she suddenly pulls away my ruby quartz glasses. And there!
I wake up suddenly with cold sweat dripping from my forehead. I put my glasses on and notice that jean's bed was empty. I started panicking and started searching for her. I then realised that the door to her balcony was open. I remember shutting the door the last time before falling asleep.
I go out the door and I ….i … cant believe my eyes. I stand there like a total idiot gawking at the scene before me….
Rest assure my fellow readers…the next chapter will be comin up soon so don't take your hands off that review button till I make an update….
