"Kitty?" asked Rogue nervously "Can we talk?"

Kitty sighed heavily and looked up from the book she was reading. Ordinarily she would make a snide comment and dismiss the older girl but she could see the pain in Rogue's eyes.

"Sure," she whispered.

Rogue sat down and buried her face in her hands.

"Does he know?" asked Kitty.

"Who? What?" asked Rogue confused.

"Bobby, Does he know that you have feelings for Johnny?"

Ordinarily Rogue would deny it, tell Kitty she was crazy, How could she have feelings for a guy who switched sides? Not this time, Rogue was tired and Kitty was….right.

"No," whispered Rogue.

"You have to tell him," said Kitty sympathetically.

"I can't."

"Why not?"

Rogue sighed.

"I don't want to lose him," she replied "I love him."

Kitty took Rogue's gloved hand in hers and smiled.

"Believe it or not, I understand," she said "Loving Bobby makes you feel safe."

"I tried to make it work, I wanted it to work."

"I know."

"I just miss him so much," Rogue whispered wiping a tear from her eye.

"You and me both sister," exclaimed Kitty nudging Rogue slightly.

Rogue laughed slightly then grew serious.

"What I'm I gonna do?" she asked.

Kitty looked around the rec room then back at Rogue.

"I've been visiting John since he left," she whispered.

Rogue looked at her in shock.

"You can't tell anyone," continued Kitty.

Rogue nodded.

"He called me the day of Jean's memorial and asked to see me."

Rogue's mind was swimming. Kitty had seen John, had he asked about her? Did he even miss her?

"Yes," said Kitty smiling "He asked about you."

"telepathic now?" asked Rogue smiling.

"Nope…Just smart."

Rogue laughed.

"Well…back to my point," exclaimed Kitty "I was supposed to see him today. Bring some of his stuff I had been taking care of for him. Would you like to take my place?"

"Yes," replied rogue with hesitation.
