Of all the things I believe in
I just want to get it over with
Tears from behind my eyes
But I do not cry
Counting the days that past me by
I've been searching deep down in my soul
Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old
Looks like I'm starting all over again
The last three years were just pretend and I say
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I love
The one thing that I tried to hold on too

It was quiet around the mansion, depression hung in the air like a thick fog that would not lift. The group of X-men both new and old recruits stood in the kitchen all dressed in black. Despite Jean still being mad at Scott, she had her head resting against his shoulder as he hugged her. Kitty sat at the table, Kurt standing being her with his hand on her shoulder.
Professor Xavier wheeled into the room dressed in a black suit and tie, "It's time to go," He frowned looking around at his students, "I know this is a tough day for all of us, but in time the pain will pass."
Everyone then departed from the kitchen leaving both Kitty and Kurt behind.
"Come on Kitty." Kurt whispered taking Kitty's hand.
"Kurt," Kitty stood up and sighed, "I want to go and say goodbye to Mr. Logan first," Tears sprang up in her eyes, "It's his last day today."
Kurt immediately pulled Kitty into a hug, "Then I vill go vith you."
Kitty rested her head against his shoulder, "Thanks Kurt." She sniffled.

Somewhere within the jail cell a leaky pipe dripped water, down a couple of cells a man hummed softly every so often signing the words in a low bass.
Logan sat in the corner of his cell with his knees drawn up to his chest and his head resting in his arms. His shoulders shook every now and then, he lifted his head sighing deeply. Quickly he wiped his eyes then stared down at his hands, they were trembling. Today was his last day and to make things worse he wasn't mad at Scott for turning him in, not even a little. He figured he'd feel a little better if he were mad at him, but he wasn't he was mad at himself.
"Mr. Logan?" A small voice whispered echoing around in his head.
His head jerked up in a startled reaction, standing outside the bars was Kitty.
"How'd ya get back here, half-pint?" He grunted climbing to his feet.
Kitty frowned noticing the small waver in Logan's voice and the redness in his eyes, "Kurt teleported me here." She said gesturing to Kurt standing a couple of feet behind her.
Logan ran a hand through his hair and sighed, "So, what're ya doin' here?"
"I-I wanted to say goodbye." Kitty stuttered her voice trailing off into a whisper as tears welled up in her eyes.
"Aw kid, don't cry," Logan sighed walking up to the bars, "I can't stand seein' ya cry."
"Kitty," Kurt whispered resting a hand on her shoulder, "I'm sorry, but ve have to go. The others vill vorry."
Kitty nodded about to walk away with Kurt but stopped and phased through the bars catching Logan in a hug.
"Good bye Mr. Logan." She sniffled phasing back through the bars back to Kurt who looked over at Logan sympathetically, waved and then teleported them away with a 'bamf'.
Logan sighed bowing his head, his hands were still trembling he realized.

The group was silent save for the quiet sobs that broke through every now and then, the priest had finished the prayer and closed his Bible. A few of the X-men were surprised to see that Mystique and Destiny had shown, but then again, why wouldn't they have?
Professor Xavier looked around at the group and sighed, not saying a word he wheeled away. Kitty choked on a sob and buried her head into Kurt's chest.
"Goodbye Rogue." Scott whispered as the casket was lowered and the dirt was filled in.

A/N: I know it was a short chapter and you're all probably wondering 'Why was the last sentence Scott saying Goodbye'? We all know (Well most of us) that Rogue had a crush on Scott. He finally caught on. ::nods:: Alright… so it was lame. But that won't stop you from reviewing, will it?
Please Review!!!
