Have You Ever

~*~

Have you ever been in love

Been in love so bad

You'd do anything to make them understand

~*~

Kitty woke up early enough to be the first one in the shower. She quickly ate breakfast and then got on her laptop. Thinking about Lance and their Chemistry lab yesterday she brought up the file for her diary and began typing.

~*~

Have you ever had someone steal your heart away

You'd give anything to make them feel the same

Have you ever searched for words to get you in their heart

But you don't know what to say

And you don't know where to start

~*~

Why did he do this to me? I was finally getting over him then he had to open his big mouth and sound all... well, like Lance. I just can't take this anymore I still have feelings for him. I never stopped. But he's in the Brotherhood. Scott was bad enough before the whole Duncan thing but now... I don't even want to think about what he'd say if we got back together.

~*~

Have you ever found the one

You've dreamed of all your life

You'd do just about anything to look into their eyes

~*~

Sighing, she shut off her computer. She could hear Jean and Scott in the kitchen looking for his keys and knew it was time for school. She walked into the room. Grabbed his keys from behind the toaster and tossed them to him. Soon the group was on their way. Kitty laid her head back thinking about Lance again. "Kit," Rogue said catching her attention.

"Yeah?" she asked as the two got out of the car.

"Ah know that look," her friend drawled gently. "You're thinkin' about him."

"I totally don't know what you're talking about." Her friend merely rolled her eyes.

~*~

Have you finally found the one you've given your heart to

Only to find that one won't give their heart to you

Have you ever closed your eyes and

Dreamed that they were there

~*~

"Kitty, I know what the others say but you shouldn't let them dictate who you date. You can't help who ya love."

"I know."

"So forget them and go find the guy you love."

"Rogue, it's, like, not that simple. Besides, I don't even know if he still cares about me."

~*~

What do I gotta do to get you in my arms baby

What do I gotta say to get to your heart

~*~

"Like, hi, Lance," Kitty said coming into Chemistry.

"Hey, Kit," he said looking up from his notebook. She sat down in her seat next to him.

"So, um, how was your night?"

"What do you care?" he snapped. She looked away fighting with her tears. She couldn't cry. She couldn't let him see her like that.

"Just trying to make conversation. You know, being polite, maybe you should, like, try that every once in a while."

He almost winced at her tone. "Sorry... I just had a bad night."

"Well, you totally didn't have to bite my head off!"

"I know."

~*~

To make you understand how I need you next to me

Gotta get you in my world

'Coz baby I can't sleep

~*~

"Listen, Kitty, I know how things ended and everything but..." Lance paused looking down at her. "I just wanted to know if you'd like to, um, go to dinner with me or something..."

"I'll, um, have to think about it," Kitty whispered. "I'll call you to let you know."

"Okay," he said looking disappointed.

~*~

Have you ever loved somebody so much

It's makes you cry

Have you ever needed something so bad

You can't sleep at night

Have you ever tried to find the words

But they don't come out right

Have you ever, have you ever
