She woke up feeling better than she had for days. Yet there was something missing. Even though her body had stopped aching and she felt fresher, she couldn't stop the tears pouring out as she realised that Remy wasn't there to wake her up with his sweet charm and his beautiful eyes that had always been filled with love for her, or at least she had always thought that they were. A sudden movement caught her eye and she looked at a sleeping figure on an armchair near her bedside. She looked fondly at the shivering boy. God he was an angel. She knew that without him she might have died that night, or even if she hadn't she would have at least been forced to go on living her pitiful life. She shook herself and wiped the tears from her eyes as his voice came back to her. "You're home now Rogue. Your real home."
`Damn Rogue, here yah are feelin sorry fah yahrself when he's been lookin afta ya day `n night.' She made a resolution to herself then and there. `The past is the past Rogue, and it's over. No more cryin ova that sneakin bastard, ya don't need him. Ya've got other people that really care for ya `n ya gotta keep on livin foh them."
With that she got up and silently made her way to the sleeping figure. She kissed him softly on the forehead and covered him with the blanket from her bed. "Sweet dreahms sugah, `n thank ya." She whispered into his ear. Then she made her way downstairs.
As she entered the kitchen the loud voices stopped abrubtly. "Rogue!" Kitty ran up to her and gave her a huge hug. "Ohmygod! Like how are you? What happened? We've been worried sick! Where did you go with.." thankfullly before Kitty could say `his' name Lance interrupted.
"Kitty, I think Rogue would like some breakfast first don't you?" Rogue looked at him gratefully.
"Oh yeah! I'm sooo sorry! Just sit down and get comfie I'll get you some stuff!" and with that the hyper girl quickly busied herself in making breakfast. Todd, Fred and Tabitha were just about to open their mouths before Lance interrupted again. "Rogue are you sure you're well enough to be up? Pietro told us about what happened in the club."
Rogue nodded and smiled briefly. "Ah'm fine Lance don't worry about me."
"I'm sure Pietro's going to be glad to see you well again. He had us worried there. He hadn't been out of his room since you came, we practically had to force him to eat." Rogue looked up in surprise at the dedication of her friend. Before she could reply though the kitchen door was almost knocked in as a blur appeared forming into a flurried Pietro. "GuysyouwontbelieveitRoguesgone!"
"Actually sugah, ah'm right here." Pietro swumg round at the sound of her voice.
"Roguewhatareyoudoingup?youshouldntbeupyouresick!"
"Slow down speedy, ah'm fine. All ah needed was some rest." She gave a smile and twirled round. "See? All betta."
Th agitation in Pietro's face faded slightly and a look of relief passed over his face. "Thank god. Y-you scared me then. I thought you had run away again." A pained look passed over Rogues face. "Ohno!ImsosorryIdidn'tmeanto remindy.." A hand clasped over his mouth.
"It's ok sugah." She said softly. "Ah'm promisin ya now that I'll neva run away again. Ah won't make the same mistake twice, and after all, ya guys are my family right?"
Rogue suddenly realised the room had gotten silent. Tabitha, Todd, Fred and Lance were just staring at her dumbfounded while Kitty stood frozen, holding a frying pan with now-burnt sausages inside them. The first to speak was Todd. "Yo, you can touch!!" Rogue slowly let go of Pietro's mouth and stared at her hands. "Yeah," she murmured wistfully "Yeah, Ah can."
***Flashback***
He was watching her, carresing one gloved hand, giving her support as he had so many other times before. "Jus' a li'l more Roguey! Y'r doin' it!" she looked down at her hand in surprise, at the red rose that for once, wasn't shriveling up. She traced the outline of the petals and drew it to her lips, the soft fragrance lulling her. She looked at him. His red eyes were sparkling fiercely, a look of pure joy shone on his face. Slowly he bent down, drawing his face closer and closer to hers, until they're lips touched, the feeling sending a sharp thrill up her spine. His lips parted as they joined, his tongue sliding in cautiously, as if not to frighten her away. As she got bolder her tongue entered to and soon they were duelling faster and faster until they finally broke off, panting for breath. "Remy..." He stroked her face softly as his other arm encircled her waist protectively. "We did it chere. Y' n me together."
*** end flashback***
She broke up in sobs, surprising the occupants of the kitchen. Pietro immediately ran to her side, holding her in his arms as she sobbed on his chest.
"He helped me Pietro. He helped me touch, he helped me live, and now he's gone. Ah'm tryin as hard as ah can ta forget him but how can I? How can ah possibly forget mah first true love?"
Pietro looked down at the sobbing girl. He knew her pain. It was the very same pain that he had felt when she had left them for Remy.
"Shhh Rogue, it'll be alright. I'm here for you. We're here for you. I'll never leave you and I'll never hurt you I swear." He said soothingly.
She broke off and looked at him. Her sobs had subsided but her eyes were still filled with tears. In a quiet voice she murmured, "He swore that ta me once too Pietro."
He looked at her tear-stricken face and his heart stopped. Her eyes were filled with a mixture of pain, hurt and betrayal, the previous light that he had remembered so well diminished.
"I know Rogue. But I'm not him."
He gave her a small smile. Suddenly they were aware of the other people in the room. Rogue blushed.
"Ah-ah'm sorry foh ..."
Lance looked at her. "Rogue, from what I've heard it's Remy who should be sorry for anything. Pietro's right. We're here for you, we have been and we always will be."
She looked at him and smiled shyly. Th others automatically followed.
"Yeah man, us freaks got to stick together."
"Like totally!"
"You belong with us Rogue."
"Yeah, no-one can cook chicken like you!"
The last comment by Fred brought on some laughter.
"What? Was it something I said?"
Rogue hugged him. "Don't worry Fred I'm glad someone appreciates my cooking! Thank y'all foh bein so sweet. Now enough about me, what have ya guys been up ta?"
Kitty immediately launched into the latest news. As the teenager babbled on Pietro glanced at Rogue occasionally. He knew that she was delibrately changing the subject to stop them from asking what exactly had happened. He had to admit that he was curious at what that slimy no-good cajun had done to have hurt her as much as it did. `If I ever get my hands on that little piece of shit' Damn he didn't even want to think about it. Just recalling her face before was enough to make him want to slowly pull that bastard apart, limb by limb, ripping that goddamn smirk of his face. `You'll pay you asshole. One way or another I swear I'll make you pay...'
