Hey...finally, chapter 5! Enjoy!
~~*~~
Morning broke and Rogue stirred in her bed, the light from the window casting over her eyes from the tiny sliver that was left open between the curtains. She was awake, yes, but her eyes did not open, and her body lay still, she just stayed still...listening to her own breathing, own heartbeat. Odd how things like this, so simple and so insignificant could mean so much to her. It hit her then, that she began to think of things like this, that they really occured to her more after she had met Warren. Yes, in her life she had enjoyed precious moments of silence and such. The sound of the wind through the trees, the feel of snow on her nose, the color of the sky as the sun set, but those moments were few and far in between. A sigh escaped her, and she sat lazily. Slowly, she opened her eyes, and turned her head to the window with the tiny light that fell onto her form. She stood up, and walked to the window, but did not touch it. She adjusted her clothes, the cut sweat pants and tank top that read Suagrcult. It was too small for her now, and held her breasts down tightly and showed her stomach. Still, she looked at the window. Another precious moment. She moved her arms then, and grabbed each curtain and with a large tug she ripped them open and felt the warmth of the winter sun hit her body. She smiled. She walked back, window open, and pulled clothes from her dresser drawer. A black turtleneck, dark jeans, and doc martin's. Today was a simple day, and she discarded her mask like make up and gloves. It had been nearly two weeks now, everyone knew. She was free. The bonds were broken, but as she changed, a thought disturbed her. Scott avoided her, had no desire to be near her. The tears fell, and she didn't realize it. She left her room then, face staind.

Her step was light as she entered the rec. room. Sunday, noon. Warren and her were supposed to go to the Museum of Fine Arts today, but she couldn't find him. Kitty sat there, reading a book and listening to music through head phones and Kurt was on the opposite couch, watching t.v. It was a sleepy day. The day before school started, and everyone was home.
"Kitty?" Rogue asked, a upset that she couldn't find Warren.
"The girl pulled her head phones off,"Yeah?"
"Have you seen Warren today? We were supposed to go to the Museum today." she asked with a little bit of sadness.
Kitty's eyes widened a little,"He went to the mall with Jean and Evan. I can't believe he blew you off."
Rogue sighed,"Yeah, me neither."
She left, upset, and clearly so. Kitty felt like the bearer of bad news, and Rogue's dismal disposition didn't go unnoticed by Kurt either. He bamfed his way to the only person he knew would make her feel better. Rogue made her way to the kitchen. Ororo was in there, prepareing lunch, but Rogue's uneasy aura stopped her movements and she looked up.
"Rogue?" she asked, worried.
"Huh?" she was startled.
"You're crying, dear." Storm made her way to Rogue, wiping the new tears from her cheeks. "What's the matter?" she asked, concerned. Rogue was in a bitter mood, and had no desire to talk to anyone about anything.
"Nothing." she left, stalking out the door quickly. Ororo just sighed and went back to making lunch, she would have to talk to the Proffesser, Rogue needed a vacation more than anyone, an escape from all the other teammates.
~~*~~
"I don't understand vhy you're avoiding her. It's not like you've got anything to hide." Kurt said matter o' factly to Scott who sat at his desk, doing homework that had been assigned over the break. He ignored his friend, continueing to work, Rogue wasn't his problem, but he knew that that wasn't true. Even if he didn't like her he'd care about her. Afterall, he is the captain, no?
"You do have something to hide?" Kurt asked, and Scott pushed his chair out from the desk, spinning to look at him.
"Why're you bothering me?" Scott was clearly upset.
"Varren blew off Rogue. She vas crying vhen she left the rec. room. I think you should to talk to her."
Scott cocked a brow,"Why me?"
"You know she trusts you, and you're hurting her." Hurting her, Scott thought? Was he really hurting Roue?
"What do you mean, Kurt?" Scott asked, curiously worried.
"She misses you Scott, can't you see it at the table during mealtimes? That's the only time she see's you." Scott rolled his eyes at the elf's comment. Why would she miss him, she had Warren now, but he was with Jean. He forgot Rogue.
"I'm serious, Scott. The vay she breath's, the vay she acts, the vay she holds her fork when she eats. She misses her best-friend." Kurt finished his lecture. Scott was silent.
"Fine, Scott. Don't go see her. Some friend you are." Kurt left angerily. No one treated his sister like this. He guessed he would have to go talk to her. If there was no one else, there was him.
~~*~~
Rogue entered the office quietly, closing the door behind her with a slight click. "You wanted to see me, Proffesser?"
"Yes, Rogue." He said, motiong her to sit down from behind his desk. The chair before him was vacant. She took it timidly.
"Rogue, i've noticed a change in your behavior the last few weeks. Since you've discovered how to control your power, you seem even more closed off. The only people you really seem to be interacting with are Kurt and Warren."
"Ah' don't understand." she said, almost afraid.
"Rogue, I think it's best for you to leave the institution for awhile, leave of us behind for a semester or so. Start over, and if you don't like it, you're welcome back, but you need a break."
"And where will you send me?" she asked. With the days events, it didn't sound to bad. Scott wanted nothing with her, and Warren it seemed the same. Her and Jean were at constant odds, and she really didn't have any kind of bond with anyone else to hold her down.
"I've been talking with Scott's rother and his parents. Mr. and Mrs. Master's have offered a place for you there. Everything set, it's up to you to go or not."
"I'll go." she didn't give it thought. She wanted out, now! "Thank you, Professer. When do ah' leave?"
"Tonight if you'd like."
"Very much so, sir." she excused herself. She would go pack.

Well, there's chapter 6..no Warren/Rogue there, sorry...now...the next chapter will be the last. Her desicion on the two. Will it be Scott, or will it be Warren. Stay tuned and find out.
Next Chapter: Warren and Scott are shocked and Rogue's news about leaving, and she answers the question, which one will she pick?
