-Don't own! Don't sue!

The cold night air stung at Rogue's cheeks as she stood out on the balcony. She had just gotten back from dinner, being the first one to leave the table. She just hoped no one followed her, but that's exactly what happened.

"rogue, is something the matter?" came the voice of the ever-popular Jean. Rogue cringed hearing the redhead talk. "if you want, we can talk."

"Ah'm fine. Ah don't need ta talk ta anyone. Just back off alright?" she said to Jean.

"But we're all concerned-"

"Ah said I don't need ta talk," she interrupted the older girl. Jean looked at Rogue like she was going to say something more, but decided against it. If Rogue wanted to talk, she'd talk.

'Why can't they leave me alone? They know Ah can't get close to anyone, as much as Ah want to,' the girl thought to herself staring up at the stars. The constellation Orion was just overhead of the Goth. 'Ah just gotta get away from the place. Ah have ta get rid of mah death-touch, or find someone that won't be hurt by it.'

"Hey, Rogue," came the voice of Kitty from behind Rogue. "What are you up to?"

"Kit, Ah think Ah'm leavin'. Ah have ta get away. Ah have ta find myself."

"Leave? By yourself? Rogue I don't think that's a good idea. The world is a dangerous place," the brunette said with concern.

"Kitty, it's not like anyone can touch me," Rogue said, putting a platinum piece of hair behind her ear. "Look, Ah'll e-mail you all the time. Ah have mah laptop with me, so you can contact me."

"Rogue, you my best friend," Kitty said trying to hold back tears. "You can't leave."

"Kit Ah'll always be your best friend. Ya just have ta let me go."

"have you talked to the professor yet? Or do you even plan to?"

"Ah will, and even if he says no, Ah'm still leavin'," said Rogue, going to her closet to pack up her stuff. Surprisingly Kitty came to help.

"I'll let you go, but if you ever need any help, just call ok?" the young girl said, tears leaking from her eyes. "go on and talk to the proffesor. I'll finish this for you."

"Thanks Kit," Rogue said hugging Kitty. She walked to Professor Xavier's office and before she even knocked, he told her to come in.

"You want to leave Rogue? You understand that there are many people who hate mutants right?" Rogue nodded. "Well as long as you know. Where do you plan on going?"

"Ah don't know. Ah guess Ah didn't think this through enough," the Goth replied, feeling stupid.

"How about Europe. I can have Logan fly you there in the morning."

Rogue's eyes went wide. "Europe? You're kiddin' me, right?"

"Would I kid?" the professor chuckled. "I'll take that as a yes. You better go back upstairs and help Kitty pack your things." Rogue ran upstairs, just after giving the professor a hug.

"Kit! Ah'm goin' ta Europe!"

"Oh my god are you serious! I'm so excited for you! I've almost finished packing your stuff."

"Aw thanks Kitty," Rogue said going to finish packing.

-The next day-

Everyone lined up by the door to say bye to Rogue. All of the guys weresad to see her go but didn't show it. The girls on the other hand were sobbing, probably thinking they might never see Rogue again. One by one, Rogue gave them each a hug. Although they were never close, she was still going to miss them all.

-So another chapter done! Wow I can update fast can't I? I just really love writing. Just make sure you tell me if it's good or bad because I'm writing for you. I am definitely open for suggestions!
