~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kurt, Kitty, Jean, Evan and Ororo were at the Institute's living room watching TV when they heard a slam of the door. Everybody turned to the door and saw Scott walking with a little rainy cloud on his head.

"Hey brotha, vhat happened?" Kurt asked with a cheerful smile. Scott turned at him and stared at him with bright burning eyes. Then walked to his room. "Vov! vhat did I say?" the blue boy looked at his friends scratching his head.

"Like, what could have happened?" Kitty asked worried.

"I better go to see him" Ororo stood from her place and walked to the stairs. The kids watched her leave and then returned their attention to the TV.

Scott was in his room, laying on his bed thinking about what happened earlier in the park. Just remember her in his arms made his heart ache. All he could feel at that instant was pain, disapointemt and frustration -Why did she do that to me? Why didn't she tell me about her powers?- he questioned himself continously. He was so concentrated in his thoughts that didn't heard the knocks on the door. Suddenly it opened and Ororo entered.

"What's wrong darling?" the woman sat next to him on the bed.

"Nothing, I'm perfectly fine"

"If you don't want to talk about it I won't push you, but remember I will always be there for you" Ororo stroked his hair smiling saddly. Then she rised from the bed and walked to the door "Dinner will be ready in a minute, if you don't feel like going down stairs we would understand"

"I'll be there in a second"

"All right" Ororo closed her door behind. Scott sat on the edge of his bed and stared at the floor intensely.

"I have to face her, I can't hide in my room forever, I have to continue with my life" he sighted and raised from his place to go to the door.


During dinner everything seemed normal, Kitty couldn't stop talking about the great day tomorrow would be and the success of the play. Kurt and Evan were making jokes of her and Jean sent warning glares at both of them. The only ones remained silence were Scott, Rogue and Logan, but this wasn't strange, they were always the silenced ones. But something was bothering Logan, something was wrong in there, he felt a great tension between the two kids and he didn't like that. Rogue felt unconfortable there, she was right infront of Scott and tried her best to avoid his gaze. Suddenly she decided to raised her eyes and they met with Summers'. For the first time in the hole dinner both looked at each other. She read his eyes, she knew all the terrible things that he must be thinking about her. The girl closed her eyes and wished she could dissapear or something like that.

"Excuse me, please, but suddenly I don't feel fine" he gave a quick glance at Rogue and then left the room. The goth girl felt her heart broke and lowered her head. Everybody exchanged confused looks.

"Ororo, did he told you what is bothering him?" Jean asked the older woman.

"No, he said he was fine. I guess he wasn't in the mood to talk about it."

"Vhat vould have happened to him? Vhen he left he vas very excited about the hollovatch..." Kurt said between bites of food.

"Yeah, like, maybe he had an accident" Kitty was thinking of all the posible reasons. Rogue couldn't stand it more, she was the reason of his misery and wasn't feeling the best to continue hearing her friends' speculations.

"Excuse me, but I don't feel fine, either" She stood from the table and walked to the exit. That surprised everybody.

"Man, What was all that about?" Evan scratched his head "Some kind of epidemy?"

"Oh I got it!" Kitty sn}apped her fingers "They must be nervous for tomorrow's presentation"

"Ja, that must be" Kurt worried face turned into a a happier expression. Logan wasn't convinced but didn't say anything and just grumphed.


Scott was laying on his bed when he heard a knock on his door, the boy just decided to ignored it and closed his eyes. The knocks on the door continue but he ignored them.

"Scott, is it me, Rogue, can we talk?"

"We already said what we had to say at the park"

"Please Scott, I don't want all the block to know about this" Rogue begged. Suddenly the door opened and she had Scott standing infront of her. She felt her legs turn jelly and her

"What do you want?" He asked coldly, more that how he wanted to be. The girl sighted and raised her head to meet his eyes.

"About what happened at the park, Scott, I'm really sorry. It was all a trap from Pietro, I never spected him to kiss me, I didn't even know that he..."

"Knew about you taking control of your powers. Please, Rogue, don't lie to me, he've been telling me that you two shared some kind of secret, the only way he could have know was from you!"

"I swear I didn't tell him. The only ones who knew about this were the adults, my brother and Kitty"

"And you didn't want anybody to know about it?" The senior said sarcastically while folding his arms.

"I'm really sorry, Scott, is just that I... " she was trying to explain herself but he interrupted her.

"You know something, I don't care. Isn't like if we were lovers or something like that. It's your life and you do with it whatever you want. If you want to kiss, date or marry Pietro, do it, it's fine with me!" Rogue felt her heart broken and lowered her head ashamed "What really hurts me is that you didn't trust me enough to tell me about this. I wouldn't tell anyone if you've asked me not to"

"I'm sorry" she whispered, feeling hot tears trying to scape her eyes.

"I'm sorry, too" he turned "'cause I really cared about you"

"Cared?" she asked worried.

"Yes, I cared about my friend, my angel, Kate, I trusted her and... loved her..." she could feel the pain in his words "but you, you aren't that person. You dissapointed me Rogue, you can't imagine how much and now I don't know what I feel about you anymore" the goth girl stared at the boy surprised. Her face was a mixture of surprise and pain.

"I understand" she closed her eyes and a single tear rolled down her cheek "Excuse me for disturbing you, I won't do it again, Mr. Summers" Rogue turned and walked out the room closing the door behind her. Scott, hearing the doorknob closing, turned his attention to the door and sighted. Rogue stood pressing her back on the door with her eyes closed, she slid on the door until she sat on the door with her legs pressing against her. Inside the room, Scott threw himself on the bed and turned the stereo on with the volume as loud as he could stood.

I feel so unsure
as I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
as the music dies, something in your eyes
calls to mind the silver screen
and all its sad good-byes

Rogue couldn't fight anymore the tears and began to cry silently.

I'm never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm
though it's easy to pretend
I know your not a fool

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
and waste the chance that I've been given
so I'm never gonna dance again
the way I danced with you

Scott was on his bed seeing the small black box where he put Rogue's cross inside. He closed his eyes and remembered the scene at the park, Pietro kissing Rogue. He felt his heart break in thousand pieces.

Time can never mend
the careless whispers of a good friend
to the heart and mind
ignorance is kind
there's no comfort in the truth
pain is all you'll find

Scott began singing the chorus.

I'm never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm
though it's easy to pretend
I know your not a fool

Rogue began to sing while tears kept falling from her green eyes.

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
and waste this chance that I've been given
so I'm never gonna dance again
the way I danced with you

Never without your love

Both kids sang at the same time

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say

We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But noone's gonna dance with me
Please stay

Rogue buried her head in her folded arms on her legs. She knew that anything that would have been between them was no more than a sweet dream.

And I'm never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm
though it's easy to pretend
I know your not a fool

"Scott, I love you..." the girl whispered "I never meant to hurt you"

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
and waste the chance that I've been given
so I'm never gonna dance again
the way I danced with you

Scott sat on the edge of his bed with the box in his hand, he closed his eyes again and saw the her hurt expression, he heard her apologies that were more like beggings "I'm sorry..."

(Now that you're gone) Now that you're gone
(Now that you're gone) What I did's so wrong
that you had to leave me alone

"Rogue?!" Scott ran to the door and opened it as fast as he could hopping she would be there.

"People think that ve have some family air but she doesn't have my beautiful eyes" Kurt said bating his eyelashes.

"Kurt, is it you" Scott said dissapointed and turned inside his room. The blue boy followed him inside closing the door behind him.

"I'm glad to see ya, too" Kurt said sarcastically. He noticed something was wrong with his friend "Hey bro, vhat's vrong?"

"Everything is wrong" Scott answered with an angry tone. Kurt raised an eyebrow and stared worried at Scott.

"Someone is a little bit irritable here" the blue boy folded his arms.

"Sorry Kurt, is just that..." the senior passed his hand through his hair and sat on the bed "He ruined everything, now is over"

"Vho did vhat? Vhat's over?"

"My life!" Scott laid on the bed and closed his eyes "I found Maximoff and Rogue kissing at the park"

"VVVHHHHAAAAATTTTT???!!!!" Kurt eyes wide opened "Ya're kidding me!! my sista and the speed runner?!" Scott didn't say anything "That can't be possible, it must be some kind of mistake, my sista loves ya!!"

"Really? Don't tell me" was Scott cold answer "If she really loves me she would've told me about her powers" he sat again and looked at Kurt "But no!, she prefered to tell Pietro and almost all Bayville instead of me! and don't tell me you didn't know anything, she already told me you, the adults, Kitty and I don't know who else know!"

"Vell, Jean and Evan don't knov" Kurt said with a sad smile. Scott shook his head "Ya can't blame Rogue 'cause she didn't vant anybody knov about she taking control of her povers, she vasn't sure if she could do it and passed through a lot of things..." the blue boy lowered his gaze. Scott was thinking about it. "She didn't vant to tell anyone 'cause she knev that ve vould make a big thing of this and the last thing she vanted vas having false hopes" The senior was silent, he stared at the box in his hand and sighted "Give her another chance, please Scott, the blue dude is sure that vhat happened at the park vas planned by Pietro, you knov that boy"

"Yeah, I know him"

"Besides, she gave a lot of chances before" Kurt said with a weak smile, he felt that he could mend everything.

"I'm sorry Kurt, but there were so many things that happened that showed me that this won't work that I decided that..." Scott clenched his fist "I decided to forget her"

"No!! Ya can't!!! Ya told me she is the love of yar life!!" Kurt shouted at the boy infront of him. Scott stood up, took Kurt's hand and put the box on his palm.

"Return her this and tell her that I..." Scott thought it for a second "No, tell her that you fixed it, Ok?"

"Ya can't give up!" Kurt tried his best to convince his friend but this was a lost war. Scott shook his head and walked to the stereo and turned it off.

"What I did's so wrong that you had to leave me alone" Scott whispered the last part of the song. Kurt sighted and shook his head disaproval.

"Ya'll regret yarself for this" saying that, Kurt dissapeared leaving the usual cloud of brimstorm.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What do you think? A little bit melodramatic... Sorry for all of you Scott/Rogue fans, but I had to do it, I've been too soft the last chapters that almost forgot that I'm a cruel evil girl!!! WUAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA!!! WUAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA!!!!! sorry for that, I'm a little to excited because of the New Year's comming and the party and the three bottles of champaign that I already drank *burp* sworry!! Hicup! Hicup!! o.Ô

You should have noticed that the title of this story is "Careless Whisper" and the song that I used here has the same name, sang by George Michaels, well, that has an explanation, I originally thought to write this story as a songfic using this song, but it went out of control and never could used it, so I decided to, at least, use it!!. Hope you like it and give me a review, please ^.^

HAPPY NEW YEAR AGAIN!!!!! BE HAPPY!!!!
