Sorry I've been gone so long guys, I had to write a story for my English calss and it took up all my time. Anyway, Review!!!!!! I didn't get enough reviews last time.
School the next day was unbearable for Matt. He wanted nothing more than for everyone to forget that he existed. And he wanted to forget that they existed. Officially Danny had not asked Rogue out yet, but Matt feared that he would. In class Matt did nothing but stare blankly out of the window. His mind wandered, from Tabby slowly to Rogue. Angrily he pushed her out of his thoughts. Why should he care if Rogue had a boyfriend? Tabby was enough for him. He forced himself to think of how pretty Tabitha was, and about all of her small quirks. When lunch came Matt made a late entrance, making sure Rogue was at the table before he was. He walked smoothly up, as if her were James Bond in a bar full of wanting women. Tabitha met him half way and Matt kissed her for a good minute before they went to sit down.
The group was silent for a minute. Never had Matt displayed that much affection in public, he was usually the one forcing Tabby to take a breath. Rogue said nothing and stirred at her food. Danny approached, smiling as usual, Matt thought. He greeted everyone and pulled up a chair. He smiled for Rogue and they began talking. Matt glared furiously at Danny and kissed Tabitha again. Instead of being curious as to why, she merely kissed him back, pleased that she was rubbing off on him.
Kurt coughed absently and caused everyone to draw attention away from the scene at hand.
"Well. I gotta go make up a test." Danny said standing up. "See ya all later." He stood and left.
"Ah gotta go too." Rogue said. "I need to drop by mah locker." She said as she walked away. Matt told Tabby he had to go to the bathroom and followed Rogue back into the school. As she opened her locker he popped up next to her.
"He seems nice." He said leaning back against the metal doors.
"He is." Rogue said brushing the hair from her face.
"So, uhh, you guys dating or what?" Matt asked feeling his eyes turn green with every word.
"Why would you care Rakes?" she said angrily. "You have Tabby, why don't ya leave me alone?!" she spat.
"Because." He said pulling her arm back as she turned to leave. She slammed into him and tried to quickly regain her balance but Matt wouldn't let go of her arm.
"He's going to want to touch you." Matt said. His brown hair fell in front of his stormy eyes. "Then what are you going to tell him?"
"Its none of your damn business Matt." Rogue said furiously. "Keep outta mah way." With that she ripped her arm from his grip and stormed angrily off.
Matt sat alone, on the grounds, a slight breeze picked up and pulled gently at his hair. He ran his hand through it and sat back against a tree. Matt didn't even notice when Jamie came over and flopped down beside him.
"Something wrong? He asked.
"Hey kid." Matt said, not taking his eyes of the horizon.
"What's wrong Matt?" Jamie asked again tugging at the sleeve of his shirt.
"Its complicated." Matt replied, his stormy blue eyes turned to look at the youth next to him.
"You guys never tell me anything." Jamie said. "I'm old enough to understand." He said quietly. Matt tousled his hair.
"I know you are." Matt tried to think of a way to word his problem so that Jamie wouldn't loose interest, and so he didn't get any private information, and mostly to make the poor kid feel included.
"Uh, say there's this puppy, and you want the puppy, but you already have a dog, and there is someone else who wants the puppy but you are afraid he will hurt the puppy and no one knows what the puppy wants." Matt finished. Jamie looked at Matt skeptically.
"Its about a girl isn't it." He said. Matt smiled.
"Yeah." He said.
"Don't you still like Tabby?" Jamie asked, his innocence hit Matt hard as if he had been kicked in the stomach.
"Yeah," he said. "I still like Tabby." Jean walked silently up behind them.
"Hi Jean." Jamie said as he heard her come up behind them.
"Hey Jamie." She said, smiling warmly down at him. "Rahne is looking for you." Jamie got up to leave.
"Hey Matt," he said turning around. "Maybe you should ask the puppy what it thinks." He said running off. Matt sighed.
"The puppy isn't exactly talking to me." He said to himself. Jean knelt down and put a hand on Matt's shoulder. He looked up at her and those stormy blue eyes that had been staring at the horizon a few moments ago. The emotions trapped within made Jean want to hug him.
"Help me Red." Was all he said. She sat down in the grass and he put a comforting arm around him. To anyone watching it may have looked like she was advancing upon him but Jean knew the power of feeling and touch. He laid his head on her shoulder. She leaned up against the tree and Matt lay down on the grass with his face to the clouds and his head resting in her lap. They stayed that way all for hours, soaking up each others' lost emotions. The clouds left them and the light began to dwindle into dusk. But they stayed there for each other, until darkness fell across the mansion.
PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!
