Book One-Rogue
Chapter One:
Rogue stepped up to the coffin. A tear ran down her pale cheek as she clasped and unclasped her gloved hands.
"I didn't think that would ever be here, at your funeral. You always seemed so strong. I guess that you were in the end. Stronger than me anyway. I could never have done what you did. I could never have been so brave as to- " She paused. As she spoke again her voice cracked. "-To sacrifice myself. But then you were always doing that weren't you? Always proving us wrong. I don't think any of us will ever be able to completely get over the fact that you are gone. I know I won't..." She paused again. "Thank you Kitty. I will miss you."
She stopped trying to resist the tears. She let them flow freely as she ran into Bobby's arms.
"Shh." He whispered into her ear. "It's okay. That was beautiful what you just said. She would have liked to hear it. I know I did..." He trailed off. Rogue just whimpered into his chest, her body rising and falling with her sobs. Everything in her body hurt. She just wanted it all to stop, there was just too much pain. She couldn't think, hurt and anger were racing through her mind, destroying every other thought. Her heart was pounding too loudly. nothing felt right. Bobby hugged her tighter.
----*----
Rogue stood in the school hall, over by the stage. Her head was bent over a photograph. She had been standing -unmoving- in this position for over an hour now, and Bobby had been watching her the whole time. Everything in the hall was still, and silent. Nothing moved.
He took a step out from the shadows, and began to walk over to Kitty's memorial table. His footsteps echoed through the hall. Still Rogue did not move. She didn't even acknowledge his presence.
On the table, there was a photo of Kitty, surrounded by tall white lilies. People had written messages onto small white cards, and placed them on the table all around the photo.
As Bobby reached Rogue, she shivered slightly. She turned slowly around to face him.
"I knew it was you. See, no-one else is as cold as you are." She attempted a small smile. She failed. Bobby smiled back at her, walking around her, to face her. He waited silently, letting her decide whether to go on or not.
"I just. I just can't seem to leave." She blinked, trying to hold back the river of tears, threatening to spill down her cheeks.
Bobby slipped his arm around her waist, and she relaxed into his arms. "You don't have to hide from me. You can show me what you feel." He whispered into her ear, squeezing her tight.
She sighed slightly, and Bobby could feel her hot, wet tears splashing onto his hand.
"I know." She replied. "I'm not." She turned around to face him. "Thank you. I don't know what I'd do without you. You always know what to say. How to make me feel loved."
He met her eyes. "That's because you are loved." He replied.
