An: Alright love those reviews keep them coming. Here's the next chapter
the next will be up soon,
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* "Remy?" I ask.
"Oui," he said.
I stare at him and then the phone rings. Jean gets it I hear her sweet voice over here. "Rogue...it for you," my eyes tear away from Remy's and I head to the phone.
Who in the world could be calling me? "Hello?" I say. (From this point on you'll know the conversation but the others in the story can't hear).
"Rogue?" I hear.
"Who is this?" I ask.
"You told me to call you," it was a guy and-oh Magneto.
"Oh boy I though you were some crazy stalker or something don't scare me like that Mag-"I pause, I can't say Magneto. "Eri-"Damn can't say Eric either. "Uh...-"
"Joseph, he said.
"What?"
"Joseph...call me Joseph," he says.
"Oh...okay don't scare me like that Joseph," I say.
"Yeah well I thought about what you said and I can't understand why you'd tell me to watch a body part," he said.
"What?"
"Belly," he said.
I bust out laughing happy this phone is cordless. "Sorr-sorry but Belly isn't a body part...well it is but there's a movie called belly. With DMX and Nas. Also watch Save the Last Dance or Sleepers, which is a real story. Personally I preferred the book because it's funnier but yeah it's all the same. Oh and –"
I notice everybody's trying to figure out what the hell I'm talking about. "Why are you telling me to watch all this?" did half his brains go when he was turned young.
"You know nothing oh my god," it's frustrating. "Well it give you an idea of life from different perspectives like all other movies but it's all real life somehow. With the simple things that turn big and how hard it is for some people to actually do things. And also it makes you wonder what type of hidden live people live, which can really make you paranoid. "I say.
"How about I just spend time with you and see how everything is?" he suggested.
"Yeah sure there's shit to do around here anyway." I say looking at the others still trying to figure out what's going on.
"Listen rest well and tonight Mystique and I will meet you somewhere...well call first of course. We'll follow you around and see what it's like...but I highly doubt it's worth it." He says.
"First off stop with the way you speak. Cut all the `I highly doubt it` and the respectful remarks like that. Second...you might just be in for a surprise." I say.
"Right," he says and hangs up.
"Well tell me when you're going to do that," I say to myself as if I were him and hang up the phone.
"Who's Joseph?" Jean asked.
"Who?"
"Joseph," Jean repeated.
"Who's Joe-ohhhh," I forget quickly. "Him, well no one really." I say.
I see the looks on their faces...they don't believe me. Makes sense since I'm lying but I don't know whether I should hurt they don't believe me or happy they know me so well. "Well lets just see," Jean says and picks up the phone.
I snatch the phone from her and dial another number so she can't star 69 it. I hang it back up and glare at her. "What the hell Grey!" I shout.
"Grey?" everybody is so surprised I used her last name. I am kind of too.... think I've been hanging around Magneto or Joseph...whatever he's going by, too much.
"I don't go around poking my nose in anybodies business around here...I expect the same," I say still glaring.
"You wouldn't be able to because you're never here," she says.
"That's because I have a life beyond these walls." I say.
"No you don't," she says not believing a word.
"What?" I say.
"You don't have much of a life. You dwell on self-pity and no offense but there aren't many mutants in this neck of the woods and I doubt anyone who doesn't care if you're a mutant will want to hang around you because you can accidentally touch them," she spat.
"Jean?" Ororo said.
She was right and I knew it but I also knew she didn't really mean it. She was angry...she hates not knowing and she has no clue where I go and she's helpless to do anything about it. I know how to block her and the professor. I just hate the fact that she thinks she knows me so well...she has no clue. I hate it.
"YOU know NOTHING about ME!" I say.
"Pleaze," Kurt says.
"Yes I do," she says.
"WOW you know my real name and my powers. You know nothing beyond that," I say.
"You had a crush on Logan...you almost couldn't decide between Bobby and John. Yo-"
"Okay that's nothing. Key word HAD a crush on Logan and Bobby and John...hello fire and ice. Wow you really know me Jean," I say and grab her bare arm with my bare hand. "Bet you didn't know I could touch huh?" I say and up and leave.
"R-Rogue?" Scott says as I bump into him at the door leading into the main room.
I make a frustrated noise," S'cuse me," I say and push past him and sit on the couch and turn on the TV.
I showed her. How dare she try and predict me and put me out on the spot. "Caldecott Country," my head jolted up towards the TV.
It's my hometown. "Today two families were at each others throats," the lady on the TV says.
"What else is new," I say bored.
"Marie D'Ancato," what? Who'd he say? "Was killed by the Davis's," that's my mom.
"What happened?" asked a woman that just appeared at the corner of the screen. I turned the TV don so I'd be the only one to hear it.
"Well it appears Mrs. D'Ancato had a daughter that disappeared years ago. Right after her boyfriend Cody Davis at the time was in coma." The man stopped.
"What's that have to do with it?" the lady asked and my now my body was perched in front of the TV.
"Well the Davis's claim it was her daughter also names Marie that put him there. They claimed she was a mutant but the resident around here say that they've been saying that for years but never acted upon it."
"Why they do it then?" the lady asked.
"That question remains to be unanswered Michelle."
"What about the son?"
"Cody...what about him?"
"Did he help?" the lady asked taking the question from my mouth.
"That too is still unanswered. That also brings us to the question that has been on every ones minds for years...Mutants.... are they dangerous? Should we fear them or should they fear us?" the man said it creepy.
"Well Mike well check up on you later now-"I turn the TV off.
I never hated my mother...not really. It was always just us two having fun and joking around but now she's...gone because of me...because people hate mutants and don't understand them. We're just the same...just more evolved in some ways. I want to cry but I refuse. There isn't anything going to bring her back and I've not been in contact with her for years...she might as well been dead. I am suddenly hungry again. I walk back into the kitchen and grab a bag of chips, a can of soda or rather a few actually. I also grab the whole bucket of ice cream and a pop tart and some crackers. Anything as long as it was food and I could carry it.
"Remy said e was goin' cook," Remy said.
"And rogue says she'll eat," I say and hurry to my room.
I feel a bit down and I know I'm depressed some, other wise I would have never gotten so much food.
~*~*~Hour later~*~*
I ate just about everything but the ice cream, which is surprisingly still cold. I have been listening to music this whole time staring out the window. I take small bites of ice cream slowly and sloppily put it in my mouth. I sigh bored and tired eyes growing heavy even though I'm not sleepy. I feel the bed move as if someone sat on it. I don't turn around though I don't care much whom it is.
"Rogue?" it was Remy.
I don't turn to face him because I know I look a mess and maybe even smell it. "What?"
"Foods ready," he says.
"I'll be down in a bit," I say.
"I know what happened...sorry," he says.
I don't know whether to me mad he felt bad for me because I hate it or happy that he's showing an effort. "I don't know what you're talking about," I say.
"Remy bring you a plate of food up and you clean yourself up," he says and leaves.
I get up and head towards the shower.
