DISCLAIMER: you know, so why say it?
We all were tired after the fight, and I went straight to bed after I got home. But suprisingly enough, I couldn't go to sleep. All I could think about is Scott risking his life to save me. His enemy. Why didn't Pietro save me? He was fast enough to grab me and get out of there before the boulder hit. I suddenly felt very lonely. I couldn't depend on my teammates to help me out in a situation like that? I got out of bed, no longer tired. In fact, I was wide-awake. I walked around my apartment for an hour, but sleep was a long time coming. I finally grabbed my cape and opened my door to take a walk outside. I walked in a daze around Bayville for two hours, thinking about everything and nothing, not really paying attention to where I was going. An occasional tear would fall down my cheek every once and a while. I finally snapped out of my daze and found myself walking through unknown woods. Oh, this is just great, I thought. I stopped moving and listened to see if I could hear anything, such as cars or music or TV's. I listened for a couple of minutes, but heard nothing. I tried to retrace my steps, but it was almost impossible in the partial moonlight. So I just walked through the trees, hoping that I would come across a familiar road. I walked for thirty minutes before I came across a large iron fence. Maybe if I follow this fence, I'll be able to figure out where I am, I thought. I walked along beside the fence, and soon was out of the trees. I stood next to the gate leading to a great mansion. Wonder who lives there…I thought about checking it out, but I was too tired to investigate my curiosity. I walked down the road, hoping I would be able to navigate my way home.
I woke the next morning, feeling exhausted. Millions of thoughts strained to catch my attention, all at once. All of the loneliness and pain I had felt the night before surfaced again as I went about my normal activities. There would be no training today, so I decided to take a little time off from being hardcore. I decided to check out the park I lived next to, as I had never gone in it before.
I spent the rest of my day there, just wondering around, watching the moms and their kids run about. Every once and a while I would see a starry eyed couple pass, enjoying the cool autumn day. I went out to get something to eat for breakfast, and passed by some of Xavier's kids playing around in the arcade. I couldn't help over hearing some of their conversation. "I can't wait until, like, we get to go to the ski resort." I heard Kitty say. "Yeah. I'm gonna go flying down those hills" I heard Evan yell at her from playing a very violent game against Kurt. Boys…. I thought to myself. Jean and Scott weren't with them, and Rogue was on the other side of the room, sulking about…something. I didn't know what.
I walked away, in a lighter mood than when I first woke up. A ski resort, huh? Mystique will be quite pleased with this news. I walked away, whistling.
