Chapter 7 Nightmares
Rogue lay in her bed. She was restless and sweated. She tried to keep her eyes open because she knew as soon as she would shut them she would fall asleep. And if she would sleep, she would get one of those terrible nightmares. She could feel it and it scared her to death. Her first impulse was to stand up and go over to Logan. That was what she usually did. But she remembered the fight and stayed. And then she fell asleep.
The next thing she knew that she woke up screaming. She felt the cold and shivered badly. The tears rolled down her cheek like waterfalls but she didn't even notice. Sobbing she took her knees to her chin and wept forth and back. She was so scared. But suddenly she felt warm strong arms around her body. She knew it was Logan and leaned against him.
He hold her tight and tried to comfort her. "Shh.. it's okay. I'm here", he whispered the whole time. He stroke her wet hair out of her face. And whispered soft words into her ear. Then everything went black.
After a few hours he woke up. At first she was confused to see Logan sleeping on a chair beside her. He hold her hand and she remembered and smiled. He was pale and looked worn out. And she knew that he had been awaken the whole night. She carefully reached out to touch his face.
He awoke with a start. He looked around and finally focused on her face. A smile appeared on his lips. "Hey", he said.
"Hey", she replied. Then she sat up and he hugged her. He stroke her hair. "I'm so sorry Rogue! I didn't mean to hurt you. I .. I was so scared. I didn't want to lose you. That's why I said those things. I swear.. god.. I'm so sorry".
She sighed and looked at him. "It's okay Logan. Really". He smiled.
"Feeling better"? Scott asked when he arrived in her room. Rogue nodded. "Much better. Thanks".
He gave her a quick hug and then he looked at Logan. "Do you have a minute"?
He nodded and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. "Rest a while sweety. See you later".
She smiled. "Okay", she said and leaned back into the pillow. She really liked the fact that Logan and Scoot became friends.
Scott leaded Logan out of the room. He was excited.
"Hey! What's going on with you", his friend asked curiously
He walked around nervously. "I'm going to do it. I'm going to ask her. I want to spent the weekend with her and the I'll ask her."
Logan grinned brightly. "Wow! That's great".
Scott smiled happily. "Well, that's why I need to ask you a favour."
"Spill it One- eye"!
"We only can go away if you'll take care of the kids and the mansion."
Logan's smile faded but he nodded. "Okay", he sighed. "But you own me something if I do that."
Scott shook his hand. "Of course. God, thank you pal", he said and then he ran away quickly.
Logan groaned. "What did I get myself into"?
