Author's Note- The song I use is "(It's Hard) Letting You Go" by (gasp of
shock) Bon Jovi.
AngieX- Yes, it is legal to drink @ 18 in Europe, but she doesn't know that.

Home Again and Bad News
~*~
The night's too long and cold here without you.
I grieve in my condition
For I cannot find the strength to say I need you so.
Oh and every time I'm close to you
There's too much I can't say,
And you just walk away.
-Sarah McLachlan

"I guess this is it," Kitty whispered as Logan climbed onto the plane.
"Yeah," Pete murmured.
"Well, um, thank you."
"I tol' you before, luv," he saw her eyes lighten up at that endearment, "no thanks are necessary."
She looked up at him her blue eyes wide. "Will I, um, like, see you again?"
Pete sighed. "I don't know."
"I should go." He moved his hand so he was cupping her chin as he looked intently into her eyes. He felt her tremble softly as he stepped close and his lips descended upon hers. His tongue immediately sought entrance, which she quickly provided, tentatively bringing her own tongue to dance with his. With a soft groan he pulled her closer.
"Half-pint!" Logan called. Kitty pulled away flushing warmly. Pete looked up at the door annoyed. "Sorry, runt, but we have ta go." Pete leaned down softly kissing her warm cheek.
"Goodbye, luv," he whispered in her ear.
She looked up surprised to feel tears in her own eyes. "Bye, Pete." She walked back to Logan turning back to look at him once before stepping onto the plane. Pete watched her and sighed as the plane took off.
/How did this `appen?/ he wondered.
Two hours later
"Keety!" Kurt called rushing to the petite brunette and hugging her happily.
"Hey, Kurt," Kitty smiled a little at her best friend.
"You don't seem too happy to be home," the blue elf noticed.
"I am happy," Kitty said.
Kurt looked at her as they walked into her room. "Katzchen, I know you better than that."
"Me too," Rogue said approaching. "And I know that look. You met a guy."
"Guys, it's late and I'm, like, totally tired," Kitty said. "Goodnight." She kicked off her shoes and collapsed in her bed.
"Hey, Kit," Rogue said.
"What?"
"Why are you wearing a man's shirt?"
A week later
Pete sighed tossing back another shot. "What's yer problem?" John asked sitting across from him.
"Nothin'," Pete snapped.
"Listen to yer elders, boy, you obviously `ave it bad fer this bird. Go find her before it's too late."
"John, let's just pretend fer a minute that you're right an' I do want her."
"Pretend?" John smirked.
"She's eight years younger and `as a `ell of a lot less baggage."
"Yer point?"
"Me point is, mate, what are the odds the girl even wants me."
"Pretty damn good," John said. "Yer usually more intuitive than that, Wisdom. The kid has it bad."
"Right." Pete sighed taking another shot. "Yer forgettin' an important thing, mate."
"What's that?"
"Black Air."
John grinned. "I can help ya there, mate."
"How?"
A month later
Kitty sighed stretching out by the pool. "Half-pint," Logan called. Kitty stood and walked inside. Logan looked at her sadly as he passed over a paper. Kitty looked down at it confused when she saw that it was from England.
"What am I supposed to be looking at?" Kitty asked. Logan pointed at a small article and Kitty gasped.
"Former Agent gunned down in London."
"Not Pete," she whispered.
"I'm sorry, kid," Logan said softly.
"But... who?"
"Don't know." He looked at the younger girl carefully. "You okay?"
"Fine," Kitty whispered. "I just want to be alone for a little while." She went up the stairs and into her room. Getting in her closet she pulled out his t-shirt and curled up in her bed hugging it close and crying softly. She turned her radio on loud so no one would hear her.

"It ain't no fun lying down to sleep
And there ain't no secrets left for me to keep
I wish the stars up in the sky would all just call in sick
And the clouds would take the moon out on some one-way trip"
~*~
/How did this happen?/ she wondered unaware that her thought paralleled his. /He wasn't even really civil. I wasn't even around him for that long. It was just a kiss!/
~*~
"It would all have been so easy
If you'd only made me cry
And told me how you're leaving me
To some organ grinder's lullaby"
~*~
She had been having trouble with the fact that she'd never see him again before but now... knowing that he was... gone...
~*~
"Well, me, these days
I just miss you - It's the nights that I go insane
Unless you're coming back
For me, that's one thing I know that won't change"
~*~
"Stop it!" she whispered to her self harshly.
*knock, knock, knock.* "Keety?" Kurt asked at the door. Kitty looked up surprised that the elf was actually knocking.
"Come in," she called brushing her tears away. He bamfed in landing beside her on her bed.
"You okay?"
"I'm, like, totally fine," she said forcing a smile.
"Katzchen, don't insult my intelligence," Kurt said gently. "I saw the paper. Logan asked me to check on you."
"I told him I, like, wanted to be alone."
"He thought that that might not be a good idea."
"Kurt, really, I'm fine. It was just a shock."
Kurt stood looking at her knowingly. "Right. I mean, it's not like you love him, right?" He looked at her for a few seconds more before bamfing out of the room. Kitty finally allowed herself to collapse onto her bed in tears.
~*~
"It's hard, it's hard, it's hard, so hard
It's hard letting you go
It's hard, so hard - It's tearing out my heart
But it's hard letting you go"
AngieX- Yes, it is legal to drink @ 18 in Europe, but she doesn't know that.
