Here we go...!

"Rogue! Wait!" She cotinued to run, despite his calls and pleads.

"Rogue, please!" Her mind was reeling, she thought he loved her. Loved, that's the key word, it hit her suddenly. He loved her then, he loves Jean now.

Down the stairs, almost to the door.

"Rogue." Ignore it, she told herself. The tears came freely now, unnoticed and thick. She grabbed the handle of the large glass doors.

"Rogue?" she heard Kitty's voice as she came through the wall. When had she come back, Kitty wondered.

Rogue was out the door, the car wasn't to far, where was Peitro? Keep running. Scott saw this as his last chance, now or never he told himself upon reaching the stone teps in front of the mansion. He launched himself foward, tackling her to the ground where she shoved and pushed beneath him.

"Let me go!" she cried, more angry than upset.

"Not until you listen to me!" her retorted just as angry.

She had an itch to kick him in the groin before something else happened. At first she couldn't tell, it had happened to fast, a blur of silver and Scott was off of her. Peitro. When she sat up, Peitro and Scott where at eachothers throats. A punch to the jaw from Peitro, a sock to the stomach from Scott. Damned boys and the chivalry she thought. She got up to attempt to stop the fight, all her years as an X-Man had rubbed off, amazingly agile, but not agile enough. She couldn't tell who it came from, once again, it was to fast. One of the two had punched her in the kidneys, and she had stumbled out of there way, unnoticed. The ground was coming fast, she could see it.

"Rogue!' she heard he name almost screamed as she hit the ground...Kitty to the rescue, she thought, but to soon her world went black.

"Rogue?" mm...I don't want to move, she thought lazily,"Rogue?" the voice came again.

"She is stirring, mein fruend, vut she is not vaking up." Kurt? I want to sleep...

"Rogue?" another voice. Kitty.

"Rosebud..." she whispered harshly. She got punched in the arm,"Like, not funny!"

With a satisfied grin on her face she opened her eyes and sat up, winking at Kitty and Kurt.

"Uh...Why do I feel like I've been backed over with by a truck?"

"Perhaps it's because you vere socked in zah back and hit your head vhen you fell?" Kurt always the master of the obvious she thought bitterly.

"Where are the two idiots anyways?" Rogue asked gazing about the room as she stood up with an,"Ow."

"Well, like, Peitro went to go see Mystique and them and said he'd be back for you in a bit, Scott on the other hand is, like, trying to figure out a way to get you to talk to him. What happened between you two, the Prof. filled us in on why you came back, it was to talk to Scott, but, like, what happened when you got here?" Kitty just loved gossip, Rogue thought, sighing.

"You mean before or after ah' found Jean and him kissin' in the yard?" her voice was icy.

"Vhat?! But I thought-" Kurt was cut off.

"Don't say it!"

Rogue stood on the balcony of her room, watching the sun go down,memories flooding her mind. Most vivid was the memory of her and Scott sitting in the tree just outside the mansions property, watching hte sun go down.

"You are like an angel, Kate." shut up, she mentally scolded herself.

"Knock, knock." Rogue turned to see a very dissheveled Jean.

"What are those for?" She asked a bit unsure and trying to keep her anger from rubbing off on Jean. Gingerly, Jean shuved the box foward, it read Krispy Kreams.

"It's a peace offering, they're the best donuts around." Rogue eyed her for a moment before taking the box from jean's hands and placing it on the bed.

"Listen, what you saw between Scott and I, it was all just a misunderstand-" Rogue put her hand up.

"I know, I'm just making him suffer, after what he and Peitro did. I'm a bit mad." she smiled bitterly.

"So you and I...were okay then?" Jean asked with hope in her voice.

"Yeah...we're just fine."
