Chapter Eight.
Author's Note: Okay not many reviews for the last chapter but I can't keep those of you who reviewed in suspense - you see that's how much I care! I hope to get a little more for this one though but I know I can't force anyone to click the little button to the bottom of the screen! Thanks once again to you all, hope you like this one. Oh yeah and Dannie - UPDATE!!!
I don't own X Men Evolution.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*
The time flew by quickly. It was quarter to seven and Dad and Kory would be home soon. Kurt and Pietro still couldn't possibly be downstairs but I decided to make sure.
"You guys it's getting late, don't you think it's been long enough?''
"Yeah Kurt can I go home now?''
"Fine but tomorrow we'll have to go an extra hour.''
"Yeah whatever as long as I can go home now.''
"Wait one minute. You two will be studying at Pietro's house tomorrow so Kurt please don't waste your time coming here.''
"Ah come on Kit, I concentrate better when I know you're around.''
"Well you can concentrate knowing that I'm right next-door. Goodnight guys and please, don't slam the door.''
"Can't I even give you a hug goodnight?''
I let out an exasperated sigh and smiled, "you're impossible!"
I walked Pietro and Kurt to the door and Pietro turned to give me a hug goodnight. Looking over his shoulder I saw Kurt whispering to himself as he slowly walked away. He looked angry. It scared me. I never saw him like that before. What was he talking about? I zoned out for a while and then I heard Pietro calling my name.
"Kit, Kit."
"Huh? What?''
"Hey, what's wrong?''
"Nothing. It's just all of a sudden I don't feel too well.''
"I can stay with you if you want. I mean until your Dad comes home.''
"That's okay Kory will be home soon. I'll be fine.''
"I'll call you later.''
He hugged me again. This time tighter than before. I didn't want to let go.
"Kitty are you sure you're alright?'
' "Yes, why do you ask?''
"Cause you're kind of squeezing me.''
Oh... sorry! I'm fine but promise you won't forget to call me.''
"I promise. Talk to you later.''
I didn't want to let him go. Just a few seconds after I closed the door, the phone rang. It was Dad. He was going to be late..... again. He just signed this big account that he's been waiting on for months and he needs to draw up the papers and make negotiations. (A/N - funny after all this time and I still don't know what job Kitty's father does! I know I'm writing the story and all but I just can't seem to... um, getting a little carried away here... sorry!) After this maybe he'll be home more.
I hung up the phone and walked towards the counter. Lying next to a stack of magazines was a purple envelope with my name on it. It smelled of my perfume. I opened it up. The writing paper was purple, along with the pen colour. Purple was my favourite colour.(A/N - made that up! Not too sure what here favourite colour is! Is it pink or something?) No one knew that besides Dad, Mom, Kory and me.
''My Dearest Kitty,
This is a bit forward of me I know but please forgive me. I can't seem to find exactly the right words to say to you because every time I see your beautiful face I draw a blank. Kitty this isn't the easiest thing but I'm going to try and put all what I feel for you onto this one sheet of paper, although I can guarantee I'll soon run out of space. Kitty ever since I laid eyes on you I knew you were special. I observed you were this warm, caring and considerate person and I admired you so much for that, you were so different from any other girl I'd seen. But when I got to know you, my feelings for you just blossomed. They grew into something wonderful, something magical, something that I can no longer keep a secret... something I want to share with the world! What I'm trying to say to you is that... I love you Kitty. More than words can express, more than life itself. I've seen you and Pietro together and I know in my heart that he pretends to care about you but Kitty don't be foolish, you deserve so much better. He's not the one for you Kitty and I hope in time that you would soon come to return my love and we could be more than just friends.
Forever yours,
Kurt.
Kurt. I knew he sort of had a crush on me but I had no idea it was this huge. It was sweet but I liked Pietro and there wasn't anything that could change that. But what did he mean by 'pretend to care about me'? Now what was I going to do? I just can't ignore this and hope it goes away but I can't hurt his feelings either. I had to let him down gently.
The phone rang again. I hoped it was Pietro but I was wrong. There was no answer. I kept repeating 'Hello' over and over but there was no response. I then heard this eerie, sadistical voice.
"I'm watching you, leave Pietro Maximoff alone!''
"Excuse me?''
"Leave Pietro Maximoff alone or you'll never see him again! If you don't back off you will be sorry and that's a promise.''
The line went dead. I was speechless and terrified. Who was that? My entire body went numb. Why would someone threaten me? I did nothing wrong! Just then the phone rang. I hesitated to pick it up but I had too, it could be Pietro.
"Hello?''
"Hey Kit. What's shaking?''
"Nothing much just heading straight for bed. Kory, where are you?''
"I'm over at Taryn's. Her 'rents just let her have her first credit card and she invited me over to stay the night. I would have called sooner but I got caught up digitally cruising the mall. Where's Dad, I need to talk to him?''
"He's not home. He had to work late again.''
"Great so he'll never know I wasn't home. This is just perfect.''
"Listen Kory since you don't seem to care that I'm home all alone, I suggest you let me get off the phone in case Dad tries to call to check in.''
"Check you tomorrow in school. Kit are you alright? You sound rattled.''
"Yeah I'm fine, bye.''
I was really scared. Why wouldn't Pietro call? What was he doing? I couldn't think straight. I decided to lie down maybe Pietro got caught up and wasn't going to call. Before I closed my eyes I glanced at my clock. It was half past nine.
The ringing of the phone woke me up. I knocked down my clock; it was half past ten.
"Hello?''
"Hey, did I wake you?''
"Yeah you did. Where were you?'' I yawned sleepily.
"My dad had some business to take care of and just had to drag me along. But now I'm all yours.''
I didn't respond. I never noticed how creepy this room was until I saw it in the dark, at half past ten, without my nightlight, (A/N - I'm sorta afraid of the dark too!), the fluorescent moon peeping through MY OPEN WINDOW! Wait a minute... what the hec was my window doing open? This just screamed slasher movie!
"Kitty are you there?" Pietro literally yelled over the phone.
"Yeah... yeah, I'm here."
"What's wrong Kit? Is your sister home or are you alone? I didn't see your Dad's car in the driveway when we pulled up?''
"I'm home alone. I'm fine Pietro... really.'' Kitty chewed on her bottom lip- again.
"No you aren't! I can hear you chewing your lower lip! Now please Kitty, tell me what's wrong."
"How can you hear me chewing... never mind I don't even wanna know!"
"Kitty I'm gonna come over there unless you tell me what's wrong!''
"Pietro," I couldn't help but blush at his chivalrous attitude, "I'm fine... really. I just feel a little weird about being home alone. Stop worrying."
"I can't help it, I worry about you."
"I'm fine, honestly. I'll see you in school tomorrow right"
"Of course you will. We'll have lunch together. Goodnight Kit.''
"Goodnight Pietro.''

Author's Note: Well how was it? I know it may seem like it's taking forever to hear what's the real deal with Pietro but you have to be patient - the suspense is good for you! I know I'm evil aren't I? Well until next time.
