Logan sat in the liberty when he heard a low scream. More like a pleading cry. He stood up. He walked slowly, tried not to meet Rogue in the hallway. He already hurt her enough today. He passed her room, seeing her door was still open. So she still wasn't back. He wondered where she could be. He wanted to look for her but he didn't. He surely was the last person she wanted to be found of.
The hallway was dark and it was quiet. Nothing to hear. He already wanted to turn around and go back when he noticed that the door of Jeans and Scott's room were open. He stepped closer and saw a figure on the ground. His heart started to beat faster. Don't let it be Rogue, he pleaded. But it wasn't her. He kneeled down and looked at Scott who had a huge gash on the back of his head. He stood up to look in their room. Jean was still sleeping.
He switched the light on and softly shook her. She rolled around and looked up. "You have to stand up Jean! Scott is hurt", he yelled.
She needed a second to realize and then she jumped up. "Scott", she cried out when she saw him lying on the floor.
"What happened"? She asked. He shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't know. I came down because I heard noises and then I saw him", he answered. She just nodded and leaned over her boyfriend
"Wake Storm and the professor, now", she said and he turned around to leave. All he could do was thinking about Rogue. He felt this strange feeling in his stomach. It scared him to death. It felt like something had happened to her. He shook his head. She definitely was with her friends right now, telling them what he had done to her.
Soon the whole team apart from Rogue were assembled in the Medlab. Everybody was worried about Scott. Jean sighed and covered him with a blanket.
"He'll be out for a few more hours bur as soon as he wakes up he'll be fine", she said and dropped into chair.
Logan looked into nowhere. Of course he also was concerned but Rogue was also on his mind. He felt sick, wanted to jump up and run away. This whole day sucked.
Charles sighed and rolled beside Scott. "How did it happen? Was it an accident"?
Storm shook her head and held up a piece of broken wood. "Somebody knocked him out with that", she said.
"Who would do that", Logan asked suddenly.
Nobody answered but then Jean looked at him. "What about you"?
He stared at her. "Do you really believe that"?
Everybody gasped when she nodded. He stood up, trembling. Okay, in their eyes he wasn't Scott's best friend. But he still cared about him and would protect him with his life.
"Why? Why should I've done this"? He asked, his voice shaking.
"Because you're jealously. You love me and.. ", she began but he cut her of.
"What? Do you really think that I love you Jean? I don't, I never did. Everybody knows my heart belongs to someone else", he said and they looked at her.
She turned red. Storm smiled slightly. "You're talking about Rogue, aren't you", she asked and he nodded.
Charles watched his team and sighed. "So; it wasn't Logan. I think that's clear to everybody. Do you want to accuse some more people or do you want to wait till he wakes up and tell us himself"? He asked and looked at Jean.
She swallowed ashamed. She knew that he was really disappointed of her and it made her sick.
Storm turned to Logan who stood by the door motionless. "You told her that you that you love her"?ยด
He stared at her and shook his head. "No, I don't. Instead I quitted our date". He realized how stupid that sounded.
"Everybody told me to. They said I would just hurt her after all. So, I went to her and told her we can't go to the ball together", he muttered.
Storm groaned by the thought of what he'd done to this poor girl. "God Logan. Why did you do that? You aware that you tore her heart apart by doing this? Holy shit", she sweared
He needed to take a deep breath. Again he saw her painful eyes in front of his own. This pleading look, searching for the why. Storm watched Jean, Scott and the professor.
"You're not needed in here, right now. Go, wake her up and tell her what you're really feeling.
She looked at him and he stood up. "Thank you".
She nodded. "The world is breaking apart. I'm glad you found someone to hold on. She's everything you got Logan. Never forget that".
He shook his head. "I won't Storm. I won't", he answered and with that he left the room.
Rogue leaned against the window. They were still driving. Her face was pale and her eyes red and swollen. She couldn't stop the tears rolling down her cheek. One of the man turned around. He looked at her and she saw guilt and pity. He really felt uncomfortable with what he was doing.
"Stop crying. If you don't mess up things it'll be over in a few days", he said softly and smiled.
She nodded and whipped her tears away. She didn't know yet that no matter what she would do, she still would be dead after this. There was no way to survive.
Logan awoke with a start. He'd been asleep. He hadn't found Rogue so he'd decided to stay in her room waiting for her to come back. He looked at his watch. 8.00 a.m He heard noises and realized the whole school was already up. He opened the door and saw Jubilee and Kitty. He walked towards them. He expected them to be angry, because he had hurt their girl. But they smiled friendly. He realized that they had no idea of what happened at night. Now he was really worried. Rogue hadn't been with her friends that meant she was still missing. Before he could ask her friends, Storm ran down her hallway.
She was pale. "Logan! Logan! Scott woke up a few minutes before", she yelled.
The students stared at them confused but Charles appeared and leaded them into their classrooms. Storm was shaking.
"I guess you haven't found Rogue yesterday", she said.
He looked at her. "No.. how do you know"? He asked feeling his heart pounding in his chest.
She swallowed. "She had been kidnapped".
