Chapter 2// where have you been?
"Hey Lance!" A young man came up to his desk. Lance snap back into reality looking at the young man in front of him.
"Yeah, Jimmy," Lance replied annoyingly.
"Why don't you come out with us guys tonight?" Jimmy suggested. Lance looked at the young man with irritation. Ugh like I wanted to hang out with you guys. Lance thought to himself.
"I think I should pass on this one," Lance said.
"Awe, come on Lance," Jimmy complained. "You never hang out with us."
"I don't know Jimmy," Lance said nonchalantly.
"Lance, come on what can go wrong?" Jimmy questioned. Lance looked at him. If he only knew Lance thought to himself. "Ok! I know stuff can go wrong, but Lance my man you got to start living life," Jimmy was right he hasn't been living life. He just had been mopping around like a sick puppy that had lost his way. "Do know a lot of the women had been eyeing you at work?" Jimmy asked him. Lance couldn't help but laugh. Women wanting him what a joke he thought to himself. "What? You don't believe me?"
"I'll think about it Jimmy," Lance told him. This was the fifth time Jimmy and his buddies asked him to go out with them. "I don't think women are interested in me. I'm boring and has no life guy," Lance picked up his cup that was coffee and took a slip of it.
"Ok, but make up you mind up soon. I think we are heading to strip joint tonight," Jimmy told him. Lance starts to chock on his coffee as he heard Jimmy say that and began to cough. "Haha!" he laughed lively. "Man, Lance you're one funny guy. It's like you never been to a strip joint," Lance started to turn bright red. "I was just joking man!" Jimmy laughed.

"Rouge, I been some thinking," Kitty told her.
"What else is new suga'?" Rouge said.
"Hey!" Kitty protested.
"What?" Rouge teased.
"Just listen to me…" she started. Kitty started to pace the room making sure no one was around. "I had been doing some digging around,"
"What do you mean Kitty?" Rouge questioned her.
"Well you know how Lance had been reported as a run away," Kitty explained.
"What does it got to do with you digging around?" Rouge asked.
"I was looking through my old letters that Lance use to write to me," Kitty told her.
"Yeah…" Rouge said getting inattention.
"Rouge, let me finish!" Kitty demanded.
"Ok, I won't interrupt you anymore," Rouge said.
"Like, as I was saying, I was looking through my old stuff, I looked at my last one before he disappeared, and never knew what did he meant by this," Kitty explained as she handed her the letter. Rouge looked at the letter.
"So, what about it?" Rouge asked her.
" Look closely certain letters in the letter are mark bold," Kitty said pointing at the weird code he left Kitty to decoded. Rouge looked at the letter again.
"I didn't know Lance had a brain," she joked.
"Rouge!" Kitty snapped.
"I'm just kidding. Jeez you are serious about finding him," Rouge said.
"Yes, I want tell him I'm sorry, and it was not who said those things. Also I want to tell him that I still love him." She told Rouge.
"Yeah, I'm sorry about that Kitty. I shouldn't put so much trust in her. She betrayed my trust." Rouge explained.
"I know." Kitty said.

He walked into his empty and lonely apartment. He closed the door of his apartment. He walked into his room and strip down out his office suit changing into a pair sweats. Then he walked to his living room and threw himself onto his black leather couch. He turned on his TV. He watched aimless at the television. He missed having her in his arms and kissing her soft lips. "Kitty…" He turned off the television making him listen to the emptiness of the night.
Then his phone rang. He didn't pick it up he let his answer machine pick it up.
"Hey Lance, this is Jimmy. I was just wondering if you're still interested going out with us tonight? Just call me up on my cell phone, alright buddy!" Jimmy ended the message. Lance sighed. He didn't feel like going out with the guys all he wanted to do is die because he couldn't be with the woman he loved.
Why was the world so cruel? He loved her so much and what did they do? Tearing them apart. So many times he pick-up the phone and tried to call her, but in the end he would just hang up. Was he afraid that he would be rejected? What happen to the old Lance? The one who didn't care what people say about him? He was a rebel without a cause. He was his own person. And now he was running away. He was running away from her.
This loneliness was killing him. He craved to touch her again to kiss her angelic face. Damn that Xavier! Damn that Scott Summer! He always had to get between them. Why couldn't he accept that Kitty loved him and his love was genuine for her? Damn that Scott Summer! Damn him! He cursed at his dark empty apartment. "Damn the X-geeks! Damn the Brotherhood!" He shouted. He walked towards the punching bag that hung at one corner of his apartment. He threw a couple punches at the punching bag. He went at it for an hour and a half then threw in his towel.
Lance ambled to his room once more. He headed to his bathroom stripping out his sweats and got into his shower. He turned on the warm water letting the water cleansed his pain and loneliness over his tired muscle body. He listened to the water droplet hit his body. He remembered it was raining that night too went Kitty broke his heart into two. He turned off the shower and got out. He put on clean boxers then he walked to his bed, and he tossed himself on his black satin sheets. It was the same black satin sheets he and Kitty laid in just cuddling next to each other and holding each other tightly one night when she spent the night. He slowly drifted to the lands of dreams.
"Kitty!" he screamed as he woke up. The dream that he dreamed about seem so real. This was the first time he dreamed of Kitty. And why had it started now? Was she in trouble? Sweat covered him from head to toe. He looked at his alarm clock and it read 1:30 am. He only slept for thirty minutes. He just lay their staring up at the ceiling.
***
Kitty woke up as she felt someone crying out for her. She got out her bed and walked to her roommate's bed. "Rouge wake up! Wake up Rouge please!" She said as she shook her friend out her sleep. Her friend groaned in annoyance trying to hit Kitty. "Rouge!"
"What!" Rouge shouted in frustration starling Kitty with the sudden out burst.
"I'm sorry that I had to wake you up Rouge, but I got someone was calling for me." Kitty explained to Rouge.
"Kitty, it's Saturday morning. I like to sleep-in on Saturday." Rouge replied.
"I know! But!" Kitty protested.
"No, buts." Rouge started as she looked at the clock that was beside her bed and it read 9:30 am. She looked at her friend's face and saw she was hurt by her respond. "Fine, what was so important you had to wake me up on a wonderful Saturday morning." Rouge asked.
"I woke up because I felt like someone was calling out to me." Kitty replied.
"Kitty, your not physic like Miss Perfect." Rouge said.
"Yeah, I know. I just got this feeling someone crying out for me." Kitty insisted. "I can't explain it. I just know."
