~Outside of Bbbys room~ "Bobby!? Hellooooo...Bobby?" Jubilee yelled as she banged on Bobby's door. He rarely came out of his room since SHE left. They all missed her deeply, but he....he was different. They loved each other. No one really knew how much until now. Jean was also very sad. Rogue and her could talk about things. Sort of like a mother and her daughter or a sister to her little sister. Logan..he...when he heard he broke lots of things. Rogue was like his daughter. As for Jubilee and Kitty, they were mad. Didnt Rogue know she had a family here. They thought what they had was more than that. Jubilee was getting angry. Why wouldnt he answer his door? He should know sulking wont help anything. His grades had gone down extremely, and his friends were beginning to think they had lost him. ~Inside~ It had been three months, and he was beginning to think he would never see her again. That was something he didnt want to think of. The thought of her brought pain to his heart. He pictured her perfert, smooth face. His beautiful Marie. She was lost to him. Gone...maybe forever. Every night before he goes to bed he prays for her to be there beside him the next day, but he knows thats impossible. What hurt him the most was that he had just assumed she hated him. He never gave her a chance to tell him. SHe was even going to except his offer to become his wife. He was so stupid. He felt ashamed of how he treated her and what he must've made her feel then. She was only backing away becuase she was afraid to hurt him. Because of how much she loved hiim, she only wanted to see him happy. He took it the wrong way and hurt her more than ever. He laid on his bed , eyes shut, and dry tears covering his face. In his hand is the note she left him. Everyday he read it. Over, and Over, and Over....... ~Somewhere in New York ~ There was alittle women trying her best to take the huge bags of groceries to her 6th floor apaartment. No one would help her. In away she was used to this. No one being there to help her, but she soon got used to the fact that she had friends and a boyfriend that would be there for her. Now they couldnt be there for her. She had ran away. At first it made lots of since to her. Now though......she wished she could be there now. Only she cant, becuase they all hate her. She knew it. They had to. She left them. She finally got her apartment door open. SHe slammed the groceries on the table. She looked around the room. Her apartment was nothing like her old room at school. In fact this one might even be smaller! She lived here by herself. Alone. Thats what she was. She rarely talked to anyone. She didnt want to make any new friends or especially find someone new to fill the gap in her heart. No she would stay true to Bobby. Even though he hated her and they werent together. SHe loved him to much to get over him. She sat down on the old, disgusting sofa. She sighed in anguish. 'Maybe its time to....,' She smiled a sad smile,'go home.' She ran to her room and packed as fast as she could. ~ 2 weeks later~ It was late now. Maybe midnight when she got there. She looked at the big school and smiled. She opened the door slowly as if to not make a creaking sound. That failed. The sound must've awoken someone becuase here comes the Professor. "Rogue....?" She looked down. "Yes sir its me." He came to her and looked her over. Checking for any signs of harm. He then through his arms out telling her he wanted a hug. She bent over and gave him the best hug ever. See she missed this. "You dont...h-hate me?" "Of course not Rogue. No one hates you." She smiled. "Can I check on my friends." "Yes. Ill call for them now." "NO! Dont wake them up. I will see them in the morning." "Hmmn....Ok." "How has...Bobby been." The professor wondered for awhile. "Terrible." A pain ran through her heart. Terrible!? She looked at him and gave him one last good bye before checking fro her friends. First she walked to Jeans room. She smiled as she opened the door silently. She saw Jean laying there breathing deeply. Happy to know she was fine she left and turned for Jubilee and Kitty's room. She opened it and saw the two sleeping. She sighed. They had once been like sisters to her. They still were, but there feelings probably have changed for her now. She left and came to Logans room. She watched him awhile and left for Bobby's room. She opened his door and found a mess. He really was terrible. How could she do this to him? She walked over to him. She layed down next to him in the bed. She noticed the note in his hands and sighed. She played with his hair before falling asleep thinking about all the friends she left behind...and that one special guy. ~The next morning~ Bobby woke up and wiped his eyes. Sudennly he noticed an arm draped around him and one in his hair. His eyes shot open and there was Marie! "Marie....." She stirred alittel before opening her eyes. She felt Bobby's hand touching her face. "Im real Bobby dont worry." "Marie...." "I love you Bobby and Im sorry. Can you ever forgive me?" "I-I........" TBC......
