ONE WEEK INTO WINTER BREAK...
Kitty sat curled up on her bed with a mug of hot chocolate and a book. The icy cold weather outside was less than desirable, something she wanted to be no part of, as she could hear the laughter of Scott, Jean, Evan and Kurt having a two on two-snowball fight. Thinking to herself that they must be crazy to be out in this type of weather, she slouched back on her pillows into a more comfortable position trying desperately to focus on what she had been reading. She did absolutely everything she could think of to take her mind off Pietro and what happened that night of the Winter Formal. Not being to big on school starting back, she was however anxious for something else to keep her mind occupied, soon running out of things to do around the institute.
Truth be told, keeping her mind off Pietro was not easy, or rather he wasn't making it too easy. Just then Rogue chimed in and interrupted her train of thoughts...
"Another delivery for yuh Miss Pryde," a hint of annoyance in her voice, "and by the looks of it, it's another kitten. Oh wow and look this time it's pink! Yuh know I'm really getting sick ah seeing these stuffed things in the corner of the room. I'm just about ready to set fire to the entire pile." Rogue let out a loud scuff and threw the kitten with the rest of the pile.
Kitty closed her book and crawled out of bed, slowly striding over to Rogue. She looked rather concerned at the toy and yet very hopefully...
"Isn't there a card this time? He usually sends a card?
"Ah a little too interested aren't we? Hmm... let's just see here...
'Miss you lots, wish I could talk to yuh. Love Pietro.'
Rogue rolled her eyes and let out a loud groan. "This is getting too disgusting. Kitty would yuh just talk to him, I would like to inhale something else other than rose scented kittens."
Kitty felt confused all over again and she wasn't even with Pietro.
"Rogue, we've been over this like a million times. I love Pietro and I guess I always will but some things just weren't meant to be. He just has to accept the fact that we can't be together and it's over. I mean it hasn't been easy for me but hey I'm like trying."
"Whatever Kitty, I didn't sign on to be stuck in the middle of some soap opera. You better talk to him and fix this soon or I will. And I can't guarantee that he'll be in the same condition when I'm done."
"Alright, alright... I'll like call him tonight."
She sat back down on her bed rather dejectedly. Kitty had to admit that she sort of liked the attention Pietro was giving to her. She missed him a lot and what he was doing was kind of sweet. This was as close to him as she was gonna get and now Rogue has to go and spoil it all.
Kitty lay back on her bed and plopped her head onto the pillow, thinking about what she was going to say to Pietro. Engrossed in her thoughts once more, she hadn't even noticed when Rogue had walked out of the room. For the first time since that night of the Winter Formal, Kitty cried herself to sleep.
LATER THAT EVENING...
Kitty walked up the steps lethargically after poking periodically at her dinner. She kept going over and over in her mind what she was going to say as she grabbed the cordless phone, entered her room and sat at her desk. With sweaty palms and a racing heart, she dialed the number, tapping her fingers impatiently as the phone rang... once, twice, three times...
"Hello?"
It was Pietro. She completely froze and to top it all off her voice was stuck.
"Uh... hello?"
Say something Kitty; say something.
"P... Pietro?"
"Kitty? Kitty is that really you?"
"Um..." she blinked back a few tears, "yeah it's me."
"Kitty I'm so glad you called. I miss you so much, I'm going absolutely crazy."
"Pietro you have to stop this."
"I don't understand... stop what?"
"Stop... stop sending me stuff. It's over between us Pietro, you have to realise that."
"No... don't say that because you know it's not true. I still love you and I know you still love me."
"Pietro please..." her voice broke and she started sobbing, "please, you're hurting me even more by sending me all these gifts. We should just try and stay completely away from each other."
"I'm not going to do that Kitty because deep down I know you don't want me too. I won't stop until I get you back Kitten."
"Pietro you're just wasting your time and you're wasting mine because... because... I don't love you anymore."
"No... no, I don't believe you. You're just saying that Kitty so I won't bother you anymore."
"No I mean it Pietro. I don't love you anymore so please leave me alone."
"Fine Kitty, if that's the way you want it, I'll leave you alone. I guess this is good bye then."
"Yeah...good bye Pietro."
Kitty listened to the receiver click on the other end. The tears started flowing freely now and she sank to her knees. It took all the will power she had not to call Pietro back and tell him she didn't mean it but she knew that it was all for the best. * All for the best. Yeah right! If it's all for the best then why does it feel like as if I'm about to die? My insides ache; my entire body is racked with pain. *
Kitty crawled into bed and pulled the covers up over her head. Her suppressed cries were now a bit more audible and she fought hard to keep it down. She held her stomach so that the intense pain would subside but it was to no avail. She should have never made that call. She should have just left things the way they were and not listen to Rogue. Now she felt completely empty. A hollow shell just fit for throwing away. She tightly shut her eyes and whispered almost unclearly...
"I'm so sorry Pietro... please, please, please forgive me."

Okay so how was it? Be brutally honest, tell me if it sucked big time or if it was a bit of a let down. I think my next chapter is gonna be my last so keep your fingers crossed to see if they get back together. Please review.
