Chapter 14- First Fights
"John!" Lash was surprised. She hadn't really expected John to come even though she wanted him too.
"Hey," He said unusually quiet. "Can I come in?"
"Um, yea." She was even more surprised by his behavior. He was hurt by her actions and Lash new it.
"Lash," He began. "I-"
"John, let me explain." She interupted. "I'm sorry I didn't introduce you as my boyfriend to Vatic. This is still new to me that we are. . . you know."
"Boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"Yea."
"Are you ashamed?"
"What? No!"
"Before you couldn't be happier about it." He scrunched his face, and he became defenseful again.
"I am happy about it."
"Did you tell him?"
"Who? Vatic?"
"Yes, Vatic!" He said the name in two sharp syllables.
"No." She said plainly, looking away from his eyes.
"I thought so. You're ashamed."
"I. Am. Not." She looked up agrily at his accusation.
"Then why didn't you tell him, Lash?" He was getting angrier and more upset. She was ashamed of him.
"It just slipped my mind, Johnny." She took a breath, trying to calm down.
"It's good to know that you think about me, Lash." He was looking at her with a cold, hard eye.
He turned to leave.
"John, wait!" She reached for his arm.
"Lash, I just need to be alone. I don't want to hear your excuses." And he left.
She just stood there half in confusion and half in pain. What just happened? It was just yesterday that she and John were declaring their "status" as boyfriend and girlfriend. Now, they were. . . she didn't know what they were. How could everything go wrong so quickly.
She felt so strongly about John and she was sorry that she'd hurt him, but maybe he was over reacting. Was he? Or wasn't he? It's not like she was flirting openly with Vatic. He's her friend and she'd missed him. But the look on John's face when she hugged Vatic was painful for them both. He had a right to be angry, but she had a right, too. She wasn't sure of it yet though she knew it was out there.

"Hey, John, I was just going to look for you." Bobby said as John entered their room. John slammed down on his bed flicking his lighter ferociously. "What's wrong?"
"Everything." He mumbled.
"Everything?" He looked puzzled and then he realized. "Oooh, you mean, Lash."
"Yes, I mean, Lash."
"What happened?"
* * * * * * * * * * * *
"We had a fight." Lash, said taking a spoonful of peanut butter ice cream.
"Your first fight as a couple. That's so sweet." Rogue smiled adding more whipcream.
"It wasn't sweet. We yelled at each other. A lot."
"About Vatic?"
"That obvious?"
"John just feels threatened by him."
"You know what the worst part was?"
"What?"
* * * * * * * * * * * *
"She didn't introduce me as her boyfriend!" John, yelled.
"She just forgot." Bobby tried to reason even though he'd be mad if Rogue didn't introduce him as Her boyfriend.
"That's what she said."
"It's not like he's her old boyfriend. They're just friends."
* * * * * * * * * * * *
"We're just friends!" She said loudly at the accusation.
"Alright, I was just asking a question. So you and Vatic never. . . kissed?"
"No. I mean I though he used to like me, but we could never really talk because of Stryker."
"That would suck."
"But I never liked him."
"So he might still like you."
"We aren't like that. I'm with, John. I really like John."
"I can tell."
* * * * * * * * * * * *
"What's so funny?" John arched his eye brow at a chuckling Bobby.
"You really like this girl."
"Yea, so?"
"I mean you REALLY like this girl. You wouldn't care as much if it was any other girl. Actually, you don't have a record for having long term girlfriends. It's more like girls who you just make out with and do other stuff with."
"Me and Lash aren't like that."
"You mean you don't like kissing her."
"No, I love kissing her. But she's my girlfriend and I plan on making it last."
"Then why are we here having this conversation when you should be some where having this conversation with her?"
* * * * * * * * * * * *
"Having fights suck, don't they?" Asked Rogue.
"Apparently." She was swooshing her spoon in the small remainder of melted ice cream looking at it pitifully. "This looks just like I feel."
"I know exactly what would make you feel better."
"What?" She looked up from her ice cream bowl of bleakness.
"If you went and found your boyfriend and talked with him."
"He doesn't want to talk with me. He said he needed to cool off."
"He's probably cool enough by now. Well as cool as a person who has the ability to control fire can."
"He doesn't want to see me."
"Maybe he does. Lash, being in a relationship isn't about giving up on the first bump in the road. If Bobby and I were like that we wouldn't have stayed together after the first day. Just go look for him.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
After Bobby had shoved John out of their room he went to the quad. It was empty. It was 7:30 at night and the sun was going to set soon. Other students were probably with their friends, or doing homework, or being with their girlfriends. What was John doing? Moping around the campus looking for his girlfriend.
"Hey, John." A voice said from behind him.
"Hey, Lash."
