Chapter 12:

Evan sat where he was for a while after Rogue had left just replaying what had happened before she left.

She hadn't pushed him away or anything. Instead she had said she would be coming back again. He was surprised and happy at the same time.

"Hey," he heard someone say. He looked up to see Callisto standing in front of him.

"Hey," he replied. She took that as an invitation to sit down next to him.

"That friend of yours is a good person," Callisto commented.

"Yeah she sure is," Evan replied, thinking about all of Rogue's great qualities.

"I can see why you like her so much," Callisto added, hinting at something a little more than friendship.

"We're just friends, good friends," Evan said, firmly.

"Really? Because for some reason I thought there might be something more," Callisto countered.

"Well there isn't," Evan replied, even as he was saying it, wishing there was something more.

"Oh come on Evan, I saw the way you looked at her. If it helps she was looking at you the exact same way," she informed him.

"Ok fine. I like her, a lot," Evan confessed, letting out a long sigh, "I've tried to get closer to her, but she pulls away every time. She can't touch and she thinks I care about that. I don't, I just like her for her."

"Well I'm pretty sure she cares about you too. I think you just have to take things slow," she advised.

"Yeah I know," Evan agreed.

"Well get some rest now, Good night," she said, getting up and walking away.

"Good night," Evan replied.

Evan laid down for bed thinking about Rogue.

Rogue slowly walked home.

"Why did ah let him do that?" she thought. A flash of him kissing her fingertips flashed across her mind.

She had to admit it felt good. Hell, every time he touched her, it felt good. She was slowly realizing that she liked Evan.

"Now how did that happen?" she asked herself.

He was treating her like a normal person, like she didn't have a psycho for a mother, or like she hadn't gone crazy the week before, or most importantly like she could touch.

That meant a lot to her. And the past two nights were forever engraved in her mind.

She had finally reached the mansion and she climbed up to her bedroom.

"But really who would want someone who couldn't touch? What kind of relationship would that be?" she said out loud, when she sat on her bed in the dark.

"No he deserves someone normal, someone who can at least hold his bare hand," she said, a little sadly.

The light flicked on all of the sudden and Rogue turned around, startled.

"Scott what are ya doing?" she said, practically yelling at him.

He came and sat next to her, ignoring her question.

"Rogue if someone really cares about you, they'll put it behind them," Scott told her.

"What?" she asked, confused.

"The person you were talking about. If they actually care about you, then they won't care about your powers," Scott replied.

"Oh," she said, letting what he said sink in.

"So who is he?" Scott asked, "Who is this guy who has you sneaking out of the house after curfew?"

"Umm... nobody, no one at all," she said rather quickly.

"Ok, whatever you say, but just don't stay out too late or else you'll be too tired in the morning," Scott told her, not even bothering to tell her not to do it again, "Good night."

He started to leave, "Ya're not gonna make this ah habit, are ya?" she asked the same question he had asked her the night before.

"Are you?" he asked her.

She didn't have an answer to that and he stepped out of the room before giving her an answer to her own question.

She thought about Evan, his smiling face popping into her head, "Yes ah ahm going ta make it ah habit," she said to herself.
