Author's note- I guess you'd call this AU. We have mutants but I have proudly completely screwed up the timeline. Here is my timeline, also some plot devices. Okay, Mystique is gone. Remy is living with the Brotherhood because I couldn't write something without the Cajun. No Tabby, I haven't watched the show long enough to know her personality. This is my first XME fanfic. I hope I got everyone right. Please review and let me know how I'm doing. Let's say that for most of the characters this is set before "Joyride."

Haunting Me

.

Everywhere I go I see your face

Every sound I hear is the sound of your voice

Why are you haunting me?

Why can't I let you go?

-Stabbing Westward

Lance shut his eyes against the harsh light of day. Just a few more moments, he begged the sun. His alarm rang and he groaned. "Damn it!" he muttered. Pietro ran in as he stumbled out of bed in a mad search for his clock.

"It's under your shirt," he said. Lance found the offending machine and shut it off.

"Thanks, man," he muttered.

"Hey, you going to Prom?" Pietro asked

Lance smirked. "Why do you want to ask me?"

"Of course!" he batted his eyes prettily. Lance rolled his eyes and Pietro became serious. "So, are you going with your little Kitty-Cat?"

"Kitty?" Lance sighed. "No, she's going with some idiot, Ron."

"She turned you down? That's what you get for dating a X-Geek."

"She didn't turn me down, we're not dating any how." Lance sighed again. "I never got the chance to ask her. So, who are you going with?"

"Rhonda and Cheryl."

Lance snorted. "Figures."

"Pietro!" Remy yelled.

"Sounds like he noticed his room," Lance smirked.

"That was all Todd," Pietro said. "We knew nothing."

"It'll be easy for you to play dumb," Lance nodded. Pietro glared at him and was gone in an instant. Lance sighed and began to get dressed, thinking of her. He had hardly gotten any sleep last night because he was thinking about Kitty. Why did she have to go with one of those stupid jocks when he actually cared about her? Why couldn't she see that he was the one who wanted her?
