Scott stopped at the lookout point and turned off the engine. He jumped out the car and sat on the bonnet looking out onto the town.

He thought of Rogue and how when he was around her he felt free, like he could tell her anything and she knew every secret he had.

He thought of her dark clothes and her glossy brown hair with white bangs. He could tell from her appearance she wanted to hide away from the world and be just another human.

He sighed out loud and the light from the sun tinted his sunglasses.

All he could think of was her and that time when he and Rogue had gone to get Angel from New York.

The way she had seemed so happy and together.

He still owed her that present.

But did he really want to give up Jean after how long it had taken him to get her in the first place?

That question echoed around in his mind as he tried to find the answer.

Pictures of Rogue and Jean flashed before his eyes and he closed his eyes in thought.

He didn't know what do.

He loved them both but he really felt he needed a girlfriend he could touch without being thrown into a coma for a month.

He sighed out loud and looked up into the sky.

If only there was some way he and Rouge could be together with out her power affecting him like all the others.

Scott got off the bonnet and climbed back into the car. He started the engine and drove back to the institute. He had to talk to the Professor.

Rouge sat in her room looking over her lines. But she couldn't concentrate. Kitty was chatting to that Brother hood boy Lance again and kept giggling annoyingly as she flirted her heart out to him.

Rouge sighed and got up from her bed. She walked out onto the balcony and closed the doors behind her. She sat on the wall and began to look over the lines again.

She heard a car coming toward the institute and saw Scott's red corvette. Her heart jumped and she hid her eyes behind the book.

Scott jumped out the car and spotted Rouge sat on the wall of her balcony with her head buried in a textbook.

Scott's face reddened a little and he ran straight into the institute. He wouldn't stop walking till he was at the Professors office.

Scott knocked on the door and hid his still red face with the books he needed for homework.

"Come in Scott." said the Professor from behind his desk.

Scott walked in and quickly closed the door behind him.

"What's wrong Scott? You seem so agitated and confused." said the Professor arching his fingers in his lap.

Scott took a seat as he tried to find the right way to start the conversation.

"It's about Rouge isn't it?" asked the Professor leaning back in his chair.

Scott nodded lightly. There wasn't much point asking how he knew. It was obvious since all the students knew about the Professor's powers.

"Scott, you know no one can have a relationship you wish for with Rouge. Not even another boy with her gifts. They would still be knocked out like that boy Cody she kissed." said the Professor.

" I know it's just it's getting with Rouge like I can't even be in the same room with her any more with out there being tension or awkwardness. We can only be there so long and then one of us has to leave. Usually her." explained Scott.

"Scott you have Jean. I thought Jean was the girl you wished for in the first place." said the Professor.

"I thought so too. It's like I have a desire for unreachable girls. And until I can be with them I can never move on." sighed Scott.

The Professor sighed.

"Scott there is nothing you can do when it comes to Rogue, so just move on and Forget about it. Otherwise you'll end up in a full blown coma," advised the Professor.

Scott nodded and put on a fake smile though inside he felt his world was collapsing.
