Logan didn't know how to feel. He hated seeing Rogue in so much pain, but it was clear that nothing he did was going to make her feel any better. As much as he hated not doing anything, he just simply stayed away from her closed door. (They had immediately replaced the old one.)

It took three days, but she finally began to attend her classes. She began to act normal and things at the mansion began to get back into its usual routine.........until the day that the Brotherhood put their plan in action.........

*~*~*

"You said you wanted to see me?" Rogue asked as she walked into Bobby's room.

"Yeah, I did. You might want to sit.

Rogue frowned as she sat down on his bed. She watched in confusion as he began to pace in front of her.

"I know I haven't been around much, but I've been thinking." He started.

Rogue immediately didn't like where this was going.

"We both went into this relationship knowing that it wasn't going to last." He continued.

Rogue's heart sunk knowing what he was about to say.

"I think that it is time that we moved on."

She sat there in stunned silence as news sunk in.

"Are you ok with this? I mean, with all of the things that has happened recently--"

"I'm fine." She interrupted before he could finish the sentence, "It wouldn't have worked anyway."

She suddenly stood and quickly walked out of Bobby's room without looking at him. Bobby moved to follow her, but thought better of it. Rogue needed to be alone right now.

He sighed and realized that he was single again, but the thought didn't make him very happy.

This was what he wanted......... wasn't it?

*~*~*

Rogue practically ran from Bobby's room to hers. She should have seen this coming. She was so stupid. Of course he didn't want to be with her, who would? God, she was a failure. Tears streamed down her face as she walked into her room and instantly realized someone else was in there.

"Logan? What are you doing here?" She asked trying to wipe the tears from her eyes and her tear stained cheeks.

He didn't answer her, he just kept looking at the packet of papers he had in his hands. Rogue's face paled as she realized what he was looking at.

"You knew?"

His question shot out like a bullet making her jump a little.

"You knew? You knew my past and you didn't tell me?!"

"Logan--"

"I had a wife and you didn't tell me?!?!"

"Logan, let me explain."

"Explain what?! I trusted you!"

Before she could blink he had grabbed her right arm and had slammed her against the wall.

"I TRUSTED YOU!!!"

"Logan, please!!"

There was a long silence as he stared into her eyes.

"You are dead to me. I never want to see you again."

He let her go and walked out of her room, slamming the door behind him.

And she just stood there unable to speak, unable to move. She fell to the floor crying as she let out everything from the past month and a half she had kept in.

It was then that she finally snapped.

*~*~*

"Scott, I've been thinking." Jean said as she sat on the couch, next to her fiancé.

"What is it?"

"After we get married, I think that we should adopt Rogue."

Scott sat staring at her, "Seriously?"

"Seriously."

A smile appeared on his face as he said, "I'm glad you think so too."

Jean playfully punched him in the arm as Kitty and Jubilee came bursting into the study.

"Rogue's gone!" Kitty cried.

"What?!" Scott asked as he ran up to the two hysterical girls.

"And so is your motorcycle."

"She left this." Jubilee said handing him a little piece of paper.

"'Rogue is dead.'" Scott read aloud.

He looked at Jean and the two instantly ran to the Professor's office.

A/N: See what I mean by "stepping it up"? Anyway, I hope you liked it.
