Notes: The stuff before 'Before' and after 'After' are basically John's Journel. But since Boby would basically kill John if he found a journal John is going over this in his head. POV is John's (it should be clear). The *** indicate change of POV in the flash back. --- means flashback basically.


Shattered: Part 2


I know I shouldn't have done it...I should only be thinking about myself, even though I should be helping others. But I couldn't help think of what would happen if he chose her over me. I couldn't help thinking of what would happen to her. I didn't want her to end up like me...

---Before---
"Class," Mrs. Monroe began, "Today we have a new student joining are class."

She stopped for a second to point out the unnamed student to the side of her.

"Introduce yourself, dear," Ororo whispered as she moved over to the chalk board.

The unnamed student looked at the ground for a second and muttered something like 'Im Rgu'. Most of the kids in class laughed and then stopped abruptly when they saw Ororo's glare. Then Ororo turned to the unnamed student and nodded.

"I'm Rogue..." Rogue stated in a small voice, then walked toward the desk that Mrs. Monroe was pointing at and then sat down.

***

I could tell Bobby wasn't paying attention to anything that Ororo was saying. I was absolutely sure he was looking at the new student Marie. I didn't care at first. But when we were half way into our second period of this class I was worried. Bobby's sight hadn't left Marie's at all.

Even though I was behind Bobby I always knew where and what he was looking at. I felt happier though all of a sudden. If Bobby wasn't looking at me like he normally did then I was free...more free that I had been in the last few weeks. But then dread set in...that was how I had first noticed Bobby.

Bobby had always been looking at me like that...especially when he finally realized that we both liked each other. And then this whole thing had happened...I couldn't deny that Bobby might leave me for Rogue...and then Rogue would have to feel like I did everyday. So I did what I shouldn't have done...what I shouldn't have done for me that is.

I'm not sure I was really conscious of myself doing this, but all I could think was that I did not want to have someone else be hurt by Bobby. I don't think I realized that much that my lighter was out of my pocket and in my hands. And I didn't realize that my lighter was on and now that my lighter was on and that a fireball was in my hands.

Of course part of me wanted to show off in the first place...but not while Bobby's around...that's suicide. Or suicide that happens over and over again...because he'll just heal you after he hurts you.

I could feel Bobby's glare aimed right at me. Then my fireball dropped...Bobby used his powers to stop mine.

***

"John!" Mrs. Monroe yelled turning around to see him," What did I tell you-"

Ororo could clearly see John jump as she spoke, but shook it off when he mumbled sorry.

---after---

So...I didn't really want too. But I did...not that it did any good for me...or Rogue. Bobby ended up looking like a hero to Rogue. So they talked afterwards...Of course Bobby hasn't come to our room yet. He's out with Rogue. But I know when he comes back...I will have hell to pay. And when he comes home...I'm the angel and he's the devil.


tbc.

A/N: Well, I would have added more. But it just did not work out when I looked at it. So this is basically chapter 1.5, next chapter is 2. Combining them did not work, so they're split. Next chapter will probably be out in the next two weeks...luckily for me school is out in the next three weeks. It might be out later since I have to write an essay for L.A and write a 2000 word(boring) short story about the Middle Ages...I would appreciate an idea to help.
(this has nothing to do with the story. It's for my History story. Please tell me if this makes sense) Gambit is having flashbacks of his pastlife(In the Middle Ages). Yeah I am including X-Men......
