"Home, sweet home, mon ami." It was Sunday night when John and I finally reached de institute.

"Whatever you say, Mate." I pushed him up de front steps and t'rough de doors. De students must have just finished a training session 'cause t'ey were all in uniform and tired looking. John whistled as Tabit'a and Amara passed. "Look at the X-Sheilas!"

"Yeah, whatever. Where's Rogue?"

Tabit'a and Amara looked at me like t'ey were seeing a ghost. "You're a dead man walking when Rogue finds you."

"What? Why?"

"You'll see." Rogue, Kitty, Piotr, and Kurt came around de corner next.

"Ach, fickt"

"Oh, fuck. What's he doin' here?"

"Like the shmuck hasn't done enough already."

"Sovokuplyat'sya"

In my first minute back at, I'd been cursed out in four different languages by all of my friends. "T'at ain't non way t' greet a friend."

"Ja must be joking. Ja a friend?"

"You shmuck, like how dare you come back here."

Piotr only hung his head as de t'ree of t'em went up de stairs.

"Mon Cherie, what's gong on?"

"Ah ain't ya dear, so go fuck off." ~What is going on?!?!~ She went t' follow t'em but I grabbed her wrist before she could get t' far.

"Rogue, talk t' me." She wrenched her hand away from me and gave me an evil look.

{Are You Aware Of What You Make Me Feel, Baby?}

"Ya bastard, lay off of meh! Ya think ya can just come back an' thin's will be ok?"

{Right Now I Feel Invisible To You, Like I'm Not Real}
"T'en tell me what's wrong." It reied t' hold her but she squirmed out of my grasp.

{Didn't You Feel Me Lock My Arms Around You?}

"Ya left meh, for him! Whatever fun ya had, Ah hope it was worth our relationship!" She was pointing t' John behind me who was standing t'ere wit' a dumb look plastered ont' his face.

{Why'd You Turn Away? Here's What I Have To Say}

"Cherie…"

"Shut up…was this ya plan? Ta take meh out an' dump meh like yesterday's trash. Ah had ta call Logan ta come get meh!"

{I Was Left To Cry There, Waiting Outside There}

"Y' don't understand."

"Oh, Ah understand. This was just part of the game wasn't it, Swamp Rat?!?!" John was beginning t' cower behind me under her wrat'.

{Grinning With A Lost Stare, That's When I decided…}

"Ah've had enough of ya games. Ah quit!"

"But…"

{Why should Ah Care, 'Cause You Weren't There When I Was Scared, I Was So Alone}

She began crying as she continued yelling. By now a crowd of students had appeared at de top of de steps t' watch.

"Ya left meh alone, Remy."

"I didn't have a choice." ~Homme, is t'at ever weak.~

{You Need To Listen, I'm Startin' To Trip, I'm Losing My Grip, And I'm In This Thing Alone}

"Ya didn't have a choice when ya chose ta walk away, then get on ya bike an' drive away?!?! Ah'm the one who was left without any choices!"

"Y' don't know everyt'ing."

{Am I Just Some Chick You Placed Beside You, To Take Somebody's Place?}

"Ah know enough that Ah'm just a replacement for ya wife!"

"T'at ain't true." ~Damn, she had t' bring t'at up.~

{When You Turn Around, Can You Recognize My Face?}

"Ah don't even know ya, anymore."

"Cherie…"

{You Used To Love Me, You Used To Hug Me}

"Don't. Ya never really loved meh. Ya just used meh 'cause Ah was the only one stupid enough ta fall for ya games."

{But That Wasn't The Case, Everything Wasn't Ok}

"Everythin' outta ya mouth was a lie!"

"Non…"

{I Was Left To Cry There, Waiting Outside There}

"Then why did ya leave meh there?!?!"

"Ah can't tell y' t'at."

{Grinning With A Lost Stare, That's When I Decided…}

"Ya can never tell meh anythin'. It's always some big secret with ya. Ya always steppin' around the truth when it causes a problem for ya."

"Oui, but…"

{Why Should I Care, 'Cause You Weren't There When I Was Scared, I Was So Alone}

"Why should Ah start carin' about the truth now?"

{You Need To Listen, I'm Startin' To Trip, I'm Losing My Grip, And I'm In This Thing Alone}

"It's over, Remy."

"What?!?!"

{Crying Out Loud, I'm Crying Out Loud, Crying Out Loud, I'm Crying Out Loud}

The tears were really coming down as she repeated herself. "It's over, Remy!!!!"

{Open Your Eyes, Open Up Wide}

My mouth fell open and for once I was speechless.

{Why Should I Care, 'Cause You Weren't There When I Was Scared, I Was So Alone}

"Leave meh alone now."

{You Need To Listen, I'm Startin' To Trip, I'm Losing My Grip, And I'm In This Thing Alone}

She ran out de door and never heard me say t'at fateful four letter word. "Cherie, I do love y'." My heart fell wit' de necklase from my hand. I'd planned on giving it t' her on her birt'day but when t'at changed I was going t' give it t' her t'night. It fell t' de floor wit' a small clink as I slowly climbed de stairs, passed all de wide-eyed astonished students, and collapsed ont' my bed.

ROGUE

~That bastard! How dare he come back!~ Ah'd stormed outside an' was stompin' down the path through Ororo's dyin' garden. The witherin' flowers reflected the feelin' in mah heart.

~"Remy is surely sorry and probably has a good explanation for t'is."~

"Remy, leave meh…alone?" Ah'd spun around thinkin' Ah'd find him followin' meh but there was nobody out there, at least that Ah could see. "This ain't funny! Come out, now!"

~"Remy not out t'ere."~

"Remy where the hell are ya? This really ain't funny."

~"Remy be right here, mon Cherie, in y' head."~

"What?!?! Get the hell outta mah head an' leave meh alone!"

~"Remy can't."~

"An' why the hell not?!?!"

~"Y' absorbed Remy, so here he stays."~

"GET OUT!"

~"Non need t' yell, Cherie. Just t'ink."~

~Get the hell outta mah head!~

~"Remy already told y', he can't."~

~"Like, none of us can."~

~KITTY?!?!~

~"Like duh. You like absorbed me too, you know."~

~"Although it'd be a lot nicer in here if you wouldn't have absorbed Gumbo."~

~Logan!?!? This is way too weird.~

~"Yeah, it's me Stripes."~

~But why are ya all in mah head! Ah just talked ta all of ya, an' ya all are just fine!~

~"Mon Cherie, when y' powers evolved, little pieces of our personalities stayed wit' y'."~

~Well, ya all are goin' as soon as Ah see the professor!~

"You really screwed up this time, my friend."

"You got yourself a real nice Sheila there, Mate."

"Go away." I was lying on my bed when Piotr and John came in.

"Can't do Mate. We're all roomies."

"Ain't I a lucky Cajun?" I spat out sarcastically. I turned over t' see John smiling crazily at me while Piotr was sitting on his bed. "She's been angry for a while, hasn't she."

"Nine days is a very long time to know nothing."

"Nothing is all she's ever going to know too, right Mate?"

"Y' right, I can't tell her de trut'.

"What are you two not telling me?" Piotr was now standing glaring down at us, literally.

"Nothing Mate! Sinister didn't have us do anything!" ~Stupid idiot, can't keep his own secrets.~

"Who is Sinister?"

"Non one, Piotr. Bonsoir." I went t' turn out de lights but a metallic hand grabbed mine and pinned me t' de wall.

"Tell me now." ~Mental note: 'Never piss of a Russian.'~

"Sinister had me pull a job. I owed him one." Piotr put me down but kept me backed up against de wall.

"Why? Do not move, John." John stopped moving t'wards de door and stood like a statue in de middle of de room.

"He gave me control. Y' wouldn't understand."

"You best try me, if you ever expect Rogue to understand." ~Damn Russians.~

"Merde…" I told him everyt'ing, t'ings t'at I'd never told anyone. He and John stared at me in disbelief as I finished.

"I did not know."

"Now, y' see why I can't tell Rogue? She already hates me, I don't want t' make it worse."

"Mate, it can't get any worse."

"You have to tell her."

"Merde."

ROGUE

Ah was sittin' on a bench tryin' ta shut the voices in mah head off.

~Would ya all just shut up!~

~"Non, Cherie. Remy just wants t' talk t' y'."~

~"I'm like with her, just shut up you shmuck."~

~"Y' wound Remy real bad, petite."~

~"Good."~

~Logan, do meh a favor an' kill them both!~

~"Can't do, kid."~

~An' why not?~

"Kid, you out here?"

"Logan?"

"Yeah." Logan came up over the hill an' walked down tawards meh on the bench. "Are you ok?"

"Ah'm fine. Ah just have a splittin' headache." Ah put mah head in mah hands an' tried ta push the voices away.

~"Ahh, mon Cherie is in pain…Remy'll help y'."~

~Ah don't want ya help, ya the reason Ah have a headache.~

~"Ya wound Remy real bad, Cherie."~

"Good."

"Kid…" Logan was lookin' down at meh. Ah'd been talkin' out loud. ~Damn, look what ya guys made meh do.~ He sat down beside meh an' put his arm around mah shoulder. "You want to tell me what's going on?"

"Not really, you'll just think Ah'm crazy. Everyone else does."

"Try me."

"Ya in mah head, along with Kitty an' Remy. An' ya all are drivin' meh up the wall with ya fightin'."

~"See what you've down now, Gumbo?"~

~"Remy didn't do anyt'ing."~

~"Like hell you didn't."~

"Shut up, just shut up."

"Have you talked to the professor?"

"No. What can he do about it. They'll just come back when Ah start absorbin' people again." He took mah hand an' led meh back up ta the mansion anyway. "Ah'm tellin' ya, he won't be able ta do anythin'."

We were inside of the professor's office before Ah could protest anymore.

"Rogue has something to tell you." Logan pushed meh forward so that Ah was standin' in front of the professor's desk.

"Yes, Rogue."

"Ah'm hearin' voices in mah head, an' not just any voices. They're Kitty, Logan, an' Remy."

The professor sighed as he looked down at his desk. There was a folder lyin' open about meh. "Rogue, your powers are evolving and we have no way of knowing what form they might take."

"Ah knew ya wouldn't be able ta help." Ah turned ta walk away but Logan blocked the door.

"Hear him out, kid."

"Ah did, an' Ah'm tired of listenin' ta people. Ah'm goin' ta bed." Ah pushed past him an' ran up the stairs ta mah room.

WOVLERINE

I shook my head as she ran from the room. Chuck sat quietly resting his head on his hands as if in deep thought.

"Kid like her shouldn't have to go through all of this."

"I think you're becoming to close to the situation to see clearly, Logan."

"What? I've never had problems seeing through problems before."

"This time is different. You've grown attached to her."

~He's right. Friday, I almost found myself trying to kiss her.~ I shook the thought from my head before Chuck could read it. "I'm going out."

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

All hell has broken loose! Muahahahahahaha. Don't worry, I've already got the sweetest way to bring them back together so just hold on tight!
