Change Of Heart
By Jade Starr
Prologue:
Third Person on Omniscient:
Rogue looked up into the pair of startling sapphire eyes that stared, intensely into bright green eyes, which now began to prick with tears, tears she hardly shed and had no intention of showing, as she dried her eyes. She reached up with a gloved hand, and slapped the pale face of the boy who stood before her.
/How could he do this to mah out of everyone Ah've known to betray mah, he was the last person Ah expected tha' from', she thought angrily. 'Peitro Maximoff was the one person I trusted, completely. He was like a brother to mah. He always used to kid mah about it once upon a long time ago. When had things changed? Why did he suddenly want mah gone? /
Even The Brotherhood wondered why Peitro suddenly insisted Rogue, of all people, go live with The X-Geeks. HE, of them all was the most protective of her. Everyone had the same idea that plagued their minds, why the sudden change of heart??
"Rogue I."he began, cupping his face where she had slapped him. But he didn't get a chance to finish, because she cut him off angrily.
"Yah Know What Peitro, Fuck yah, and tha speed yah came in awn'" she bit out her accent thick with grief, to upset to care what she said, and to hurt to see The injured look on Pietro's face. She walked away from The Brotherhood, leaving her possessions behind.
Everyone looked at Peitro with wide eyes, as she walked away, his head hung low. He looked up at the petite brunette who made her departure from the house. He looked up a sad, remorseful look upon his face, which all three bystanders Fred, Todd, and Lance noticed. They were still in shock from when Peitro told Rogue to get the hell out because she wasn't wanted there. If only they knew the real reason why he did this why he pushed her away. The three of them looked astonished at their leader. If Fred and Todd, who had been watching, bewildered, didn't know better, they'd even say lovesick, but Lance however, caught this look and brought it up.
"Why the hell did you tell her she wasn't wanted here? We all loved having Rogue around, especially you. I'd say you loved her more than any of us, as more than a friend." He added this last part smugly as he caught the shocked look on Pietro's face, which he quickly covered up, nonchalantly. "If you love her than why did you tell her to leave?" he asked angrily, small tremors being felt as his temper grew. Rogue was family to them and they had a right to know what was going on, especially if Peitro was, like Lance suspected, carrying a torch for Rogue. The fact that Lance had guessed his true feelings angered him. He did something uncharacteristically Peitro.
Peitro looked up at him angrily, to see the others' faces' peering intently to see his reaction. He darted, using his superhuman speed, up to Lance. He pushed him down with a tremendous amount of force. The mischievous, happy- go-lucky, cocky wiseass grin he usually had on his face was gone, replaced by an anguished look.
"He looks royally pissed," Todd whispered, daring to voice his views. An angry Peitro flashes up to Todd.
"Hey Toad, if you've got something to say it to my face," he spat, hoisting the teen into the air. Todd, though scared, answered.
"Don't take it out on us if you pushed the girl you're hot for away, Petey."
Peitro winced at the mention of Rogue's old nickname for him. Peitro regretted the fact that he spoke the truth, and was ready to kill the boy. He was only glad his psychopathic sister was out chasing his menacingly sinister father and wasn't here to see this scene otherwise she'd never let it go that he was getting all worked up over some girl, but Rogue was more than some girl, she was his everything. But they didn't belong together, since she didn't love him. Peitro was sure he knew everything and he was sure Rogue would never return the feelings. He was beneath her. Even if she did, Peitro had faith he'd screw it up and hurt her, and she deserved more.
/God, why do I have to feel this way, about Rogue of all the girls in Bayville/, he asked himself.
Another thought crossed his mind.
/Damn why'd my roommates have to know me so damn well/, he wondered irritated.
He was grateful Fred was too afraid to talk; otherwise The Blob would have something else to add to the groups little comments. Peitro hated having to deny his feelings, but for Rogue's own good, she had to stay away from Peitro. He knew he would never be able to deny those feeling to her.
/ I can't deny those feeling to myself, as much as I've tried to. I'm not even sure I'll be able to hide it from The Brotherhood. I just hope I can fool them/, he wished, mentally.
It hurt Peitro to say these next few words but they had to be said.
"I sent here away for her own good, not because of I'm hot for, or in love with her, so just drop it, and don't ever call me Petey!" he bellowed. Complete silence. Everyone knew he was lying. Peitro could never hide his emotions, which always shone intensely in his bright blue eyes. The only thing he managed to do was confirm his feelings for her. By The look on his face none of The Brotherhood members wanted to be the one to make a comment, due to the explosive mood he was in. They all knew the truth but decided not to bring it up again. Peitro may be a clown but when he was serious they new he meant business. That was the time you truly saw a deep resemblance in anything other than looks, to his father, Magneto, was when Peitro was deadly serious. He became more like his father than he could ever imagine. It was no wonder Wanda hated him with such a passion. Lance, Fred and Todd quietly filed up the steps to the decrepit, manor, Mystique had abandoned, the place that, to them would always be Rogue's home. The old house they lived in after Mystique, revealed herself to be Rogue's mother. Peitro stood up staring down the path Rogue took off through, now gone.
"Be safe, Marie, I did this for your own good. The last thing you need is a love that's going to jeopardize our relationship. You deserve better," Peitro murmured softly, his eyes slightly misted. He wiped them before he went into the house, knowing the guys would never let him live it down if they saw him crying, it would only prove them right.
/Who am I kidding; I didn't fool anyone, except for her. She may hate me now, but it is better than seeing her get her heart broken/, he considered.
A gust of wind blew just before he turned, and he swore he could smell Rogue's favorite scent, lavender.

I don't own X-Men evolution characters! This is my second fic, so if you'd please review this and if you want, check out my other work. I have another N.C. 17 story posted on www.adultfanfiction.net . The next chapter of this gets a little hot, but other than that its nothing compared to "The Wonders of Whipped Cream", which has a lot to do with the story on the other site.
