8) Suspended in Dusk
I woke up just before dawn. Gambit was still sleeping. I smiled and got up. I walked out to my balcony and leaned on the railing. The sun began coming up and my thoughts surrounded me. I still wanted to leave. Gambit began rustling around, seeming to wake up. I opened up my closet and got some clothes. I sat down and began fastening my boots, when I heard Gambits voice behind me. I turned my head quickly.
"Wheres the hurry too?" he asked
"Nowhere..." I focussed back on my boots
"Want me to come...?"
"I prefer not."
"Come on, chere, talk to me."
"Im going for a walk. Ill be out. You dont need to follow."
I got up and I was sure not to make eye contact with Gambit. I wasnt sure why though. I hurried out the front door and down the road. I kept looking behind me, making sure I wasnt being followed. After I declared that I was going to do what *I* wanted to do, I had been thinking. For now, the right thing for me to do was to seperate from everyone; Keep away from the X-men, the Brotherhood and all those groups. I think that I should just linger around, you know, be where I want, when I want. I was stopped and in front of me stood two people.
"What do you want?" I asked
"We want you to come with us," Collosus stated sternly
"No."
"Oh, why not? You can bring ya lil boyfriend and 'en we are all 'appy!" Pyro smiled
"So, you guys arent going to drug me and all this time?"
"Aye, we're jus' too lazy to do that all 'gain an' we thought we'd be all nice this time," Pyro enjoyed himself
"B..but... why?"
They both shrugged
"Ill help you with what I want. I will not hurt anyone... though..."
"Oy? Thats.. just... GREAT!" he said almost falling over
"Are you... drunk?" I giggled to myself
"Just a...uh wee bit."
**Back at the mansion**
"Shes with Pyro and Collosus! I cant tell if shes hurt..." Jean said with her eyes closed
"All right. We'll go find her," Scott said, ready for action
"Shes out on a walk. She can take care of herself, ya know," Gambit said, matter of factly
"Pyro and Collosus mean trouble and we cant take that chance with Rogue," Xavier stated
"Dont you get it? She dont WANT to be saved. Shes out, gettin her mind together and you all gotta go mess it all up. Give the girl a break, for once," Gambit said, getting angry at turn
Everyone looked at him momentarily, then at eachother.
"Ill get the blackbird ready," Scott stated leaving the room
Gambit sighed, and walked out of the room. Everyone watched him and once he left they started talking amongst themselves. He walked down the hall and to Rogues room. He took his brown trenchcoat off and laid down on her bed. He knew for a fact now how trivial the X-men actually were. It was great that they SEEMED to care so much about Rogue, but it only seemed like a system to him. Everyone gets worked up over almost nothing, they form a plan with no base, they freak out, go in search of someone, and once the "rescue" is complete... no one cares anymore. All those things Rogue had said were true. She loved the people in the X-men, but the group itself, irritated her.
Kurt, Kitty, Scott, Jean, Xavier and Logan all boarded the Blackbird. They followed what Jeans said. They found themselves at a bar. Logan, Scott and Jean entered the bar unnoticed. They looked around and they saw Rogue sitting on a stool by Pyro. She was laughing and so was he. When they approached her, she stared at them blankly and smiled.
"Jesus man, is there anywhere you WONT follow me. Jean, stop reading my, uh... mind. It bothers me, what with you and all your perfect... ness. Is there anything you dont do? Hey, turn me into a puppy, and then I can just sleep all day," she mumbled
"Rogue? Are you drunk? Rogue?!" Scott said
"You know, I had a HUUUUGE crush on you, but then I figured out that you and her... were... like... yeah. And you ignored me, dude, you suck. Leave me alone, you crazy bastards!" she laughed, and Pyro joined
*P.O.V*
Scott grabbed Pyros collar and began yelling at him.
"Why did you do this to her?!" He yelled, Pyro looked over at me and laughed
"Scott, seriously, thats not convincing. You are REALLY silly when you are like this. Plus, we ALL know that you really dont care, so stop wasting your time because, I told... um... that... bald guy... that Im working on my own turf, so, you can go home..."
"No Rogue, we arent leaving without you,"Logan grunted
"Logan, Im sorry. Thanks for being there, but I dont need you hovering over me. I can take care of myself."
"No, you cant. Look who you are hanging out with, Rogue," Jean butted in
"Oh get over yourself Jean. Not everyone is gonna listen to you. You dont care, and I know it. I absorbed your thoughts you know. I KNOW you dont think too much of me, or what I believe in, but I dont think too highly of you either. Always showing off, and making everyone around you feel bad because they cant be like you. You always get all this special treatment. Well, damn Jean, Fuck you. YOU dated Duncan, if I can recall last," I dont know what made me say it, but I finally did
Pyro had his head burried in his arms and was laughing up a storm. Even though I had these people standing here arguing over something, I was having a great time. I was drunk and having a great time. I closed my eyes for a bit and when I opened them, everyone was gone. Actually, I had fallen asleep for a few hours. Pyro helped me up, and walked home with me. I couldnt quite think straight but it felt weird, because my so called enemy was actually a nice person. My 'enemy' was helping me get home safely. Now, HOW often does that happen?
As we slowly walked back to the mansion, we were confronted by Magneto. At the time the situation was pretty funny. I had this crazy drunk Australian dude standing next to me laughing, and this dude making a funny noise hovering next to me. I started hiccuping and laughing. Being away from the X-men, I realized that THIS was in fact reality and I wasnt being held back from anything.
Magneto observed for a short time, and once we were at the mansion, him and Pyro left me. I open the door and slowly walked up to my room. Gambit was sitting there, messing with his cards. He gave me a nice warming, welcoming smile. I sat down next to him and smiled.
"Rogue. Rogue. Rogue. What WILL the X-men do with you now?" He said sarcastically, laughing
I just smiled. He put his cards away and leaned back.
"Ya know, the first time I actually talked to Pyro, we did the same thing, chere, and man, is it a great thing. Ill get ya teh aspirin for in the mornin," he smiled
"Oh, thats right. Oh well..." I giggled
He leaned forward and pressed his lips against mine. I couldnt help but started laughing in the middle of the kiss. I dragged Gambit downstairs to the kitchen. I got out some ice cream and alot of sprinkles. I remembering finishing my ice cream and talking to Gambit a bit longer. Eventually, I think I passed out, head first on the counter. Gambit later carried my upstairs to my room.
****
Note: Eh, yeah. No action. Just REALITY. Ummm... I DONT know what is up with this chapter, actually. It was JUST Rogue getting feelings out, and I was high and thought, hey, Rogue could be drunk. It would be funny to imagine. And I wanted her to tell off Jean at some point. This is like her way of breaking away from everyone else. And to all you assholes who say bad things about people writing, dont comment. As long as someone is TRYING to write a story, then they deserve some credit. NO "flames"
