Chapter 14 Leaving
"So we are going to go here, here and here." Storm was saying pointing to all these different places on the 3D map laid out in front of us.
I didn't care.
It was my turn to be ignored, I was getting what I had coming. John had been giving me the silent treatment since last night. I looked at him throughout Storm's little speech.
He wasn't bitting, he wouldn't even look in my direction. He was talking to Magneto earlier too, and glared at me when Bobby stopped me from draining/killing Magneto. It wasn't like I planned for Bobby to touch me. I sighed thinking about the whole ordeal as Logan and Storm conversed about how you get into the place.
I didn't care.
It wasn't like John, Bobby and I could go in anyway. We were just the tag alongs. What shit. I got up as Storm finished her speech and went over to John.
"Leave me alone." he said before getting up and going over to sit with Magneto and Mystique.
Mystique was doing that weird staring-at-me-again thing. It was as creepy as ever. I sat down again sulking as everyone suited up to leave. Logan came over as Mystique/Logan left the plane to break in.
"Marie?" I looked at him expectantly, not knowing what he wanted to talk about.
"Yes?" I asked politely.
"Be good, and don't run after us. Stay here."
I nodded then he stood up to look at Bobby and John.
"Stay here."
Bobby nodded and John looked as pissed as ever.
"Fine." John bit out at him.
"Hey, watch it."
John rolled his eyes and watched everyone leave as Storm announced Mystique was in. They left with us watching them, thinking it might be the last time we'd ever see them.
An hour past and I had never been so board in my whole life. Seriously. We had no idea if we'd get out of this alive, and John was pissed at me for god knows what. I decided I couldn't take it anymore as Bobby snapped at John to stop snapping his lighter.
"John, can I talk to you?" I asked going over to him hoping Bobby wouldn't intrude.
"What?" he spat at me as I sat next to him.
"Well...Bobby can you, like, go in the front of the plane?" I asked turning to Bobby who was staring at us, eavesdropping.
"Yeah." he muttered going as far up to the front of the plane as he could.
"Well, John, what did I do that your so mad about?" I asked trying to be patient.
"You really have to ask, Rogue? Lets start with you, why were you so mad at me before?"
I opened my mouth to answer but no sound came out. "Well, that stunt you pulled!" I blurted out after a few minutes of silence.
"What stunt? At Drake's house?"
"Well...part of it." I said feeling stuck and way uncomfortable talking about it. Especially with Bobby in the room.
"Yeah well, I've decided I'm gonna tell you why I'm pissed at you." he looked at me dead in the eye and I felt even more uncomfortable, but I couldn't look away. "You kissed that jackass over there!" he yelled in my face as I stared stunned at him.
"Wh-what?" I whispered staring at him.
"You heard me!" he yelled his eyes looking in my soul.
I looked down breaking the contact not knowing what to say. How did he find out, first of all?
"I'm sick of this kids table shit!" he yelled stacking out of the plane as I was left staring after him.
I looked behind me at Bobby who was sitting there, looking way to smug for my taste. "I hate you Bobby Drake!" I screamed throwing anything I could find at him. "I hate you!" I screamed again before walking out right behind John.
"John!" I yelled running after him.
"What?" he yelled turning around.
"Where are you going?"
"As far away from you and your new boyfriend as I can."
"He's not my boyfriend!" I said grabbing his arm so he wouldn't leave.
"Yeah? Then why are you kissing all the time, when I thought we were together?"
"Wait, what?" I asked totally confused.
"We kissed on Halloween, remember? And a couple times after that."
"I thought you just wanted to be friends?"
"With benefits."
"Well you could've told me, John!" I screeched.
"It doesn't matter now, Rogue, since you and Bobby are all over each other, are you dating, too?"
"We aren't dating, John, he just kissed me."
"Don't act like he didn't want it."
"I want to be with you!" I blurted out. "Why didn't you tell me you wanted to be a couple?" I added pleading with him.
"It doesn't matter now, does it? Your wrapped up in Bobby and I don't give a shit. I don't give a shit anymore, Rogue, about you or anything to do with you! Get away from me!" he yelled yanking his arm away from me and I heard something drop into the snow as he did but I didn't bend down to get it, I was too preoccupied with John walking further into the woods.
"John!" I yelled as he went further away from you. "John!" I yelled again wanting, needing him to come back. "I love you." I quietly said dropping to my knees feeling the snow soak into them. "Come back." I croaked as I felt my throat go dry.
My chest was tight and I felt the familiar feelings right before crying. The first drop came quietly and I tried to yell out for him. By this time I could barely see him. "John!" I screamed as loud as I could. "Come back! I love you!" I screamed just as loud. "John." I said tears flowing down my pale face.
The tears came faster as he got farther away from me, it was the hardest I had cried since my foster parents kicked me out, maybe even harder. Before I knew it, though, I was in the snow holding my head from a blinding pain, and then everything went black.
"Rogue, Rogue, wake up." a voice said in my ear as the person shook me.
"John?" I whispered opening my eyes.
"No, Bobby, come on, I think the X-Men will be back soon."
"Where's John?" I asked standing up slowly.
I looked at Bobby's face and saw pity.
No.
It was a dream, right?
"He's...not here...is he?" I asked looking at the snow. As I looked into the snow I saw something shiny and I bent down to pick it up as I looked back up I saw Bobby nodding looking at me sympathetically.
"Whatever, lets go." I said bitterly trying to ignore Bobby's look.
We went back to the plane and I started it, to fly over closer to Storm, Jean and Logan. We saw them get in and it was so chaotic I didn't know where John was.
"Where's John? Has anyone seen John?"
But no one heard me so I got into a seat and prayed he'd catch up to the plane before it took off. I was quiet as everyone ran around me and panicked. I didn't care, I just hoped John would get the message and hurry his ass up.
He never came.
And slowly the plane flipped on, I noticed when Logan had a melt down that Jean wasn't there. I felt like getting in his face and saying who cares, John isn't here. But at that thought the tears came faster and heavier then before and clutched the metal object in my hand. The tears came because I was returning to a place were I had no more friends.
A place were John wasn't there.
A place were people I didn't really care for, were there. No more John. I had to get used to that the metal object by this thought was clutched so hard in my hand it thought it would break. The plane took off with Scott and Logan freaking out and yelling at each other and the professor.
I felt myself curl into a ball hiding my face from the world and the noises going on around me. Why did John have to leave me? What had I done to make him not want me anymore? We were friends, what had changed? I let a small sob escape my chapped lips and I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up to see Logan looking down at my sadly.
"It's ok to cry about Jean, Rogue." he said quietly trying to soothe me.
I refrained from rolling my eyes at the statement he made. I didn't really care about Jean, sure she was a teacher, but John was a bigger part in my life. Jean was just a teacher when John was...my friend...with benefits, as he put it. "Yeah." I said whipping the tears from my cheeks. "Yeah." I muttered again trying to smile at him but only coming up with a grimace, at least I think that's what it was.
"Logan?"
"Yeah, kid?"
"How's the professor?"
"Good, I think, he'll be fine."
I nodded as he sat down next to me and we started to land towards the mansion. I thought it was a longer flight but I guessed not, maybe it was shorter because I didn't want to go back there.
"We're home." Logan said as the plane landed underground and he stood up. "Let's go Rogue."
I stood up and he helped me out of the plane. My pace was slow and I had a distant impression Logan was annoyed by it, but he didn't say anything.
"Hey, where's that kid? what was his name? John or something? Is he still on the plane?" Logan asked as we came up to my room.
I looked up at him and shook my head. "He left, I think, just yelled and left me." I mumbled pressing the code of my room with cold stiff hands.
"Rogue—"
"Mystique is weird around me." I blurted cutting Logan off and what he was about to say, probably something about John and his bad behavior.
"What?" Logan asked surprised by the change in the subject.
"Just...she says weird stuff to me. When you see the professor again can you ask him when we can have another meeting thing?" he looked at me for a few minutes then nodded.
"Yeah, it'll ask."
"Thank you."
He started to walk away until I called out to him, surprising even myself.
"I'm sorry about Jean." I said smiling sadly at him.
"I'm sorry about John." I nodded and closed my door, ready for a long rest while clutching John Allerdyce's precious lighter.
(A/n: I hope John running off made sense. other then that, i hope you liked it!)
