Waited for so long

Part III
"Goddess!"
"Chere you okay?" Remy's face replaced the smirk with slight concern. He reached a muscled arm further inside the closet and pulled her out of the closet.
The beautiful face of Ororo was covered by a tumbled shirt that she irritatingly pulled out of her face and threw backwards. "Remy…"
She smiled at him and her shinny, blue eyes stared into his blazing red ones. Remy laced his fingers through his' and stayed there, just like that, until he felt the urge to pull her into a hug lovingly…and he did.
"Oh Remy, I love you so much I-you can't imagine how much I care about you." She breathed in his hair that smelled of fresh shampoo.
Remy pulled away and looked at her confusingly. "Why do you realize dis so suddenly 'Ro?" He tugged a strand behind her ear.
Ororo took a moment to reply, instead she ran her slender hands over his rough jaw and inhaled the air around her deaply, "Remy, every time I see you tensed, it makes me feel that you will come and break up with and in a flash, all this relationship will go in the trash can."
She pulled apart and kept a hand over her eyes, her head hanging.
"So you're tryin' to say y' don' trust me?" Remy asked, his face expressionless.
"I never said that and you know I never will. Rogue upset you about something?" She said, once again wrapping her arms around her new lover, Remy.
Remy's head shot up at Rogue's name and he looked into Ororo's wide eyes. "What makes you say dat Stormy?"
Ororo seemed embarrassed at herself for saying that, "Because that is the only thing that might upset you, as far as I know." Her face softened after the harsh words that she spit out without thinking what the effects would be.
"No it's not'ing. I was jus' t'inkin' 'bout our relationship, how we used to fight an' all but Rogue's out of dis, outta m' personal life-forever. De past is past, when we were toget'er, she she should've enjoyed dat time if she regrets..not being wit' me." Remy moved closer to her.
"Now I'm wit' you and I don' care 'bout what de world t'inks 'bout you an' me…about us." Remy grinned down at Ororo and they kissed…a slow and passionate one that sent both of them out of their minds.

Rogue walked in the quiet and empty men's hallway, her destination near. She wondered how Remy was going to react. She stopped dead in her track as a thought ran over her mind…Making a full u-turn, Rogue headed towards her own bedroom.
She reached her bedroom door in the women's wing and reached for the door knob. Rogue slipped inside and breathed in the fresh air coming from her open window. She hadn't had a sigh of relief since morning.
First, Rogue decided that she was going to take a shower, change, relax and then go meet him. This was going to be the happiest moment of her life and Rogue wanted to be happy herself and make him happy as well.
Rogue gasped as she set her feet on the chilly tiles of the bathroom floor. Turning her back towards the tub, she stretched her arms and Rogue's world rotated 180 degrees as her foot slipped causing her to wave her arms in order to maintain her balance. But her feet did not help her and loosing control, Rogue's lower legs hit the floor and a cry escaped her lips.
She did not get a chance to think about her invulnerability as the pain in her right leg was unbearable…
Rogue extended her hand to grab the sink to not fall completely but her hand failed from reaching and Rogue fell on her back with a loud thud and finally knocking her head against the tub…
"Rem—Sum---" She tried to call out but that second seemed like ages when her voices didn't support her either. Her vision blurred and her eyes instantly filled with tears, her body not being able to cope with the stinging sharp ache at the back of her head.
Once again, Rogue tried to raise her voice…tried to say something but didn't succeed, and neither did her arms or legs move when she attempted to do so.
What was happening to her?
Visions and clips of different people rewound in her mind in a lightning speed, so fast that it seemed like faces…lots of faces captured in a twister…She did not hear any sounds or voices, there was just a continuous piercing tone flowing through her head…
The visions were although recognizable in the blur of Rogue's mind…she saw people, people laughing…crying…angry people… Childhood memories came in her mind, she saw a little girl in a man's arms…she saw the same girl with a white strip running down her brown hair…the vision of the same girl flew faded in Rogue's head where she was sitting on a swing with curly brown hair flowing in the wind….
And the cycle repeated with several other people that Rogue now couldn't recognize anymore…
Rogue's lips remained half open and her eyes half even when she felt something…wet at the back of her head that was tilted half against the tub and half against the floor. Not being able to move, Rogue tried to breath…breath harder as she felt her throat getting dry and her stomach twisting inside her…
She breathed in several times, harder, but the harder she did it, she felt herself loosing her breath. It became more difficult in seconds. Despite being totally helpless laying there, Rogue tried yelling but her voice came in small weird cries, she couldn't even speak so yelling was far away in her range…
The pain in her head grew so badly that it seemed someone had stabbed her mind and was pushing the dagger further in there. Tears rolled and slid out of her eyes and dropped on the tile, one by one.
May be this is the end…
Rogue didn't have the time to even think anything when her mind didn't respond, she didn't recognize herself. It seemed someone had blocked all her senses…
In those five minutes that seemed like an year, Rogue tried to ease but if she tired harder and lost…it would hurt much more and without thinking of anything and leaving her mind blank, Rogue did not get a chance to say goodbye to the world and in less than a second, the rhythmic beat of the strong heart of a brave woman stopped to an end…
To be continued…
