Chapter Seven: Knock First

Damia had relieved herself of her anger, and headed back to the hotel. She went to her room, and noticed that her roommate wasn't around. ^^Most likely with Remy. ^^ Damia thought as she saw her friends formal cloths hanging from a chair. Damia smiled and took a shower to clean up before going to talk with John. She had decided that it would be best if she told him what was bothering her. When Damia had put on a pair of boxer shorts and a white beater, she opened the door of her hotel room, and a smile crossed her lips. In front of her stood a kissing Rogue and Remy; Damia cleared her throat allowing her presence to be known. She saw her friend smile at her, and Damia left them to their business. She walked to John's hotel room door. She had her own key to the door, so she put the card into the lock, the green light flashed and she opened the door. Smiling she walked into the room, the smile immediately vanished and turned into a deadly frown. In front of her stood a kissing John and Tina, not only were they kissing but they had landed on the bed. Their clothes were still on thankfully. Damia didn't want to know what would have occurred if she had came in later. She just stood frozen in her stance. Tina had a smile across her face, smiling disgustingly at Damia. John's eyes were wide, and his expression blank.

John quickly undid himself in Tina's arms and scurried after his girlfriend. "Damia, it's not what you think. I wasn-" He was cut off by Damia.

Damia breathed deeply, she fought the tears from her eyes. She let out a loud scream, causing everyone to come out of their room, including the whole team. Damia turned on her heels and headed out of the room as fast as she could manager. They stared as they saw Damia, John, and Tina in the hallway. The golden eyed girl covered in anger, the fired hair boy trying to get her to look at him, and the blonde standing against the wall smiling. When Rogue came out of her room with Remy her eyebrows raised at the sight.

John grabbed his girlfriend by the arm trying to get her to meet his gaze. "Let me ex-"

Damia ripped her arm from his touch. She stared at him, she was sop anger she couldn't think straight. She began to yell at him in Greek, she didn't know she was unable to understand. She was too enraged to even think of switching her brain to English mode. "Ezigiste! Ezigiste ti akrivos!? Pos mporesate? Sas empistevthika, apo ton kathenan sas empistevthika. Sas agapisa, kai" (Explain! Explain what exactly!? How could you? I trusted you, out of everyone I trusted you. I loved you, and) her voice cracked as she broke into tears. "Sas skeftika aisthtois ton idhio tropo. Eimai enas tetoios anoitos gia na echo skeftei oti simana kati. Sas ekana tin ayapi se, oti mesi tipota. Skeftika etsi." (I thought you felt the same way. I'm such a fool to have thought that I meant something. I made love to you, does that mean anything? I thought so.) Her eyes shined with her tears "Alla arith! To vidhonete epano! Imoin ilithios na skefto oti imoin asfaliz me sas.Ekeinos o den tha epairna pote vlammenoi sta opal sas ola itan teleia. Itan? Ti skeftikaste? Pos sas ekane tin aisthisi?" (But no! You screw it up! I was stupid to think that I was safe with you. That I would never get hurt; in your arms everything was perfect. Was it? What did you think? How did it make you feel?) She looked at him expecting an answer, she still had no clue she wasn't speaking English. Only three understood her, Marina, Henry, and Rogue; only because of their recent absorption. When John didn't answer she continued. "Zeus me voithiste ego kanei akoma. Giati apo kathenan prepei na peso yia sas? St. John Allerdyce, to kakofimo ayori paichnidhioi! Pos mporeite na paizete me ta sinaisthimata moi opos aito?" (Zeus help me I still do. Why out of anyone did I have to fall for you? St. John Allerdyce, the infamous playboy! How can you play with my feelings like this?) Her eyes questioned him. He only understood that she had said his name.

"Damia I lo-" Wham! She smacked him right on the check. His eyes widened ^^She's mad. ^^

Speak English Damia. she heard Jean's voice in her head. She was confused by this request but continued, surprisingly in English.

"Do not say that!" She glared at him. "I don't want anymore lies. None! What does that mean to you? The word love? Is it an Australian word used to get a girl to sleep with you? Where I come from we do not use it so easily. You have much to learn, you stupid boy!" His eyes did not meet her. She grabbed his jaw moving his head to face her. She wanted him to hear this, "Do you even know who I am? I have suitors lined up all over Greece just to speak with my guardian!" she roared. "Much of which have more to offer than yourself! And what do I do? I fall for your damn charm, and handsome features!" She cried. "As soon as I finally find my honor I have disgraced myself! And it is all because of you!" She turned her gaze to the blonde girl, who just stood with a smirk on her face. "I guess you got what you wanted. He is all yours." And with that she left the hallway and into her room. She fell onto her bed crying.

John just stood there in shock. He wasn't even sure what had happened. He didn't notice the stares he received, all he knew was that he had kissed Tina, and Damia saw. He hadn't meant to kiss her, it just happened. When he finally turned to go after her, he was stopped by Henry.

"Please mate, I need to explain." John told the man pleadingly.

Beast just stared; he had heard the words that the girl had said. "If you could have only understood what she said." Henry glared at him. "You can not play with people like that John."

John shook his head "But I-" He saw the look in the older man's eyes. "I do love the Sheila." He told him. Henry just stared, and John walked back top his room.

"Damia?" Rogue put her hand on her friends back. "Ah'm so sorry sugah."

"I am such a fool." Damia turned to face Rogue; she was surprised to see all the girls on the X-men team, in her room including Alex, and Jamie.

Jamie ran up to Damia, in the time she had been at the manor the two had become like brother and sister. He hugged her, and she held him in her arms. "Mikros." She said softly.

"I love you Damia." He told her, and it was the truth. He loved her as his own sister, his love was true. But it wasn't like the love of John's. Jamie wasn't able to comprehend that.

She smiled weakly. "Then that is all the love I will ever need." She held the younger boy in her arms, as she had her own brother.

The others just stood around her, not knowing what to say. They sympathized for the girl immensely.

Marina could sense that something wasn't right. She had watched the boy listen to her, and she honestly felt that he was sorry, and that he was confused. She walked out of the room, and found Charles.

"Charles, what happened?" she asked him when she entered his room.

He himself wasn't sure of the scene that had just played. He to thought that there was more to it that what appeared. But what? He shook his head in complete bafflement. "I am not sure." He replied. He looked at Marina questioningly "I had the feeling that you did not like this boy? Why have doubts about someone you dislike?"

Marina was surprised by his question. "Because her happiness means more to me." She told him truthfully. If this boy didn't do what Damia thought he had and cared for the girl as much as he says, then he should be allowed to be with her, even if her guardian didn't like him.

"I ca probe his mind." The professor said as a solution to the problem.

Marina nodded. "How soon?"

"Not until tomorrow, it is too late now. The only problem is getting him to let me." Charles replied. He saw the woman nod again, hopefully everything would be alright. Sometimes even if everyone believes one thing, and it seems that it is true, if one tries to find out the truth even as an unbeliever they can still believe what is right and what isn't.
