At night

Rogue sat by her window starring outside. She sighed and rubbed her eyes. Suddenly it knocked. "It's open", she answered not moving from her place. Logan came in and she looked up surprised.

"Hey Logan. What are you doing here"?

He cleared his throat and swallowed nervously. And she realized what he was going to say. She had feared this moment the whole day. He was going to quit their date. She felt the tears forming in her eyes but she forced herself not to cry. Not in front of his eyes.

"I need to talk to you", he began. "I.. I can't go with you to the ball kid. I'm sorry", he said looking down.

She stood up. "I knew it Logan. I waited the whole day for you to come."

He looked at her and gasped. Her face was as cold as stone but her eyes scared him. So full of pain and despair. He wanted to grab her hand but she flinched back.

"Leave. There is nothing left to say", her voice was hard and emotionless. He took a deep breath.

"Look Rogue.. I..", he began again but she cut him off.

"Don't bother. I'm fine. Goodnight Logan", she said.

He sighed. He wanted to hug her, to tell her why he did that to her and himself. He was only scared. He didn't want to hurt her. As long as he didn't know what he was feeling he couldn't stand to go out with her.

He felt how much he hurt her, how much pain he caused her and all he wanted to do was taking it all back. But he heard a voice in his head, telling him not to.

She saw that he wasn't moving but felt that she couldn't hold back the tears anymore. So she passed him and run out of the room. Damn it hurt so much. She loved him more than anything else. And he just was too blind to see it, to see that she wasn't a kid anymore.

She ran through the dark hallway and then stopped. She leaned against a the wall breathless and dried her tears with her pyjama sleeve. She took a deep breath and walked back. She just hoped he would be gone when she arrived. Suddenly she heard a noise behind her. She turned around to see two men in front of her. She was to shocked to scream. One of them grabbed her waist and covered her mouth with his hand. He pulled her to the door. She tried to scream and struggled against her attacker. She cried but it was just a low muffle. She was scared to death, all she could feel was fear. Suddenly he removed his hand and she took this chance.

"Help.. me", she cried out but he quickly put his hand back.

"Shut up mutie, or we're going to kill you. Copy that"? She nodded and the tears flooded down her cheek.

Suddenly a door was opened. Scott looked outside to see her in the grip of the man. He stepped closer, his face full of anger.

"Hey! What going on"? Before he could mover any closer, the second man crashed a piece of wood on his head. Scott fell to the floor and she let out a feared and despaired cry.

While they dragged her out of the building all she could do was pleading to God. Please, please let Scott be okay, was all she thought.

It was cold outside and she shivered. She saw a dark car standing in the middle of the park. She kicked around her, to get free but she had no chance.

She watched as they pushed her into the car and drove away. She looked out of the window and saw the mansion getting small and smaller. She sobbed. She was lost. The men didn't even look at her, they drove through the night talking to each other like she wouldn't be there. And she sat on the backseat, scared to death. But she felt the Logan in her head and it comforted her a little bit. At last she wasn't all alone.
