"Like, what's wrong with you Rogue?" asked Kitty.
"Just leave me alone. I'm sorry but I'm just not too happy now." Rogue answered with great anger in her voice.
"Like, obviously." Kitty said.
"Kitty, leave me the hell alone!" Rogue yelled feeling very annoyed by her friend at this point.
"Sor-ry. Grump." Kitty mumbled.
Rogue was so mad that she almost slapped Kitty across the face. But she stopped herself because she knows it's not Kitty's fault and she just wants to know what the problem is. Kurt sat at the kitchen table and watched the girls.
"Kitty, I'm sorry. But as ya know, I'm not in a real good mood. These fuckin' dumb assholes at school really pissed me off. I just wanna beat the hell outta them both. Stupid-ass people. They don't know shit about Jean so I wish they'd just shut their mouths." said Rogue trying to be calmer but she wasn't and she slammed her fist down on the table. "Ouch." she said softly.
"Man. What are they saying?" asked Kitty.
Kurt grabbed Rogue's wrist. "Let's not go there. You'll just get angrier if you talk more about it. And no one needs your temper."
"Whatever Kurt. Then ya tell her. I don't how ya can't be pissed 'bout it." Rogue said.
"I am. But there's nothing we can do about them kind of people. Well nothing legal." Kurt said as he let her wrist go.
"Yeah ya're right. But I'd prefer ya tellin' her anyway 'cause I need to talk to Jean. I need to warn her that she'll be completely bashed when she's able to return to school. So see ya'll later." Rogue said as she started to leave the kitchen but she stopped and turned to Kitty and gave her a hug. "I really am sorry for chewin' ya out honey."
"Like, it's okay." Kitty said.
Then Rogue headed up to see Jean. Kurt and Kitty stayed in the kitchen and got a drink and talked. He explained the whole thing to her.
"Damn creeps. If Duncan didn't do anything to her then why was she all messed up? Why would they think someone would want that to happen to then. Yeah, she made him hurt her, get a life. And what the hell do they know anyway?" Kitty said now understanding why Rogue was so angry.
"Exactly. They know nothing. I'm just going to try to ignore then tomorrow. If you hear anything try and do the same." Kurt said with an upset look on his face.
"Okay. I'll try." she said back.
They hung in the kitchen and went on with their conversation. They were great friends. Although, Kurt still annoys her by popping in front of her all the time.
Upstairs in Jean's room Rogue had just arrived. Scott was still in there with her and they were both awake. He had already told her about Mitchell calling and she was kind of happy.
"Hey ya'll. Um, I have to let ya know that school is gonna be really rough for ya when ya go back." Rogue said unhappily with a slight hint of anger.
"What do you mean, it's already hard with everyone knowing we're mutants now." said Scott.
"Well I was mainly refering to Jean 'cause some creeps were sayin' shit today and it really pissed me off. I almost beat their asses. Thank God Kurt was there or I would have and probably gotten myself expelled." Rogue said feeling the anger coming back.
"What?! What are they saying" Jean asked looking really scared and sorrowful and she felt a sickness in her stomach.
"They're pretty much sayin' that ya're a liar 'bout what happened to ya. That if Duncan did hurt ya then ya made him by usin' ya're powers on him." Rogue explained.
"What the hell!" Scott yelled feeling just as angry as Rogue is.
"Oh my God. Sure. Right. I guess I either beat myself up or forced someone to beat me and all. That is bullshit. I know what happened and I wanted none of it. They think I liked being drugged up then beat and raped? Damn..." Jean cried out in anger and she felt pain inside. She started to cry again but worse than before. Scott grabbed her into his arms.
Rogue came closer and sat beside Jean and embraced her as well. She laid her head on top of Jean's. They better not say anythin' tomorrow or I am gonna fuck then up, I don't care what happens to me. I never saw Jean in so much pain. Strangely, I can feel it in me Rogue thought.
Apparently Jean's powers were a bit out of control because she could hear Rogue's thoughts. Jean moved a bit away from Scott and placed her arm around Rogue and then pulled her closer so that the three were in one big hug. Rogue knew Jean read her mind but she didn't say anything of it. She knew that it definately wasn't Jean's fault, especially this time.
So Scott and Rogue stayed there holding onto Jean. Rogue looked up and Scott glanced up at her then looked back down to Jean. He hated seeing her that way. He has seen her upset before but he thinks that this will be worse than ever. And he fears that she will totally lose it. He's afraid her powers will go out of control due to all the stress.
"Jean will you be okay with Rogue baby? I want to speak to the Professor. It's really important." Scott said.
"I don't know, maybe. Just don't take to long because if something happens I don't know if she'll be enough help." Jean said with her voice shaking.
"Baby it won't be long. That's why I want to see him. He needs to know that you may have another power surge or have a total break down. Maybe both. I'll only be gone for a little while. But incase something happens, Rogue, you absorb some of her powers to try and calm her and then try to mentally contact the Professor. Okay?" Scott said.
"Alright. I'll try if I need to." said Rogue.
"Thanks. You're a big help." Scott said and kissed Rogue on the top of her head.
Scott kissed Jean on the lips and then they pulled out of the embrace. Jean turned and grabbed ahold of Rogue so now they were in a tight embrace. Jean's still crying.
"It's okay sugar, I won't let anything happen to ya. I promise." Rogue whispered softly to Jean.
Scott ran from Jean's bed and raced out of the room to go and see Xavier.
