Maybe
Chapter 5
Disclaimer: I do not own X-Men Evolution or the song "Maybe."
Author's Notes: Thanks again for all your reviews. I think I'll do that, Lance got accepted to be in a band. I'm sorry for not updating for a while, been making some last-minute out of town trips lately plus school. I think my last chapter was the best, and honestly I don't know if I can make something as good as that one. But here goes…
Kitty ran until she saw the mansion, and wiped her tears before she walked in.
"Hey Kitty, you're back early," Scott greeted her as she walked in.
She just nodded, forced a smile, and went upstairs to her room. It was empty, but she wanted to be alone, so she went to the balcony.
She sighed as she leaned on the railing and just started out into the horizon.
"Calming, isn't it?" Rogue asked from her spot in the corner.
"Oh my gosh Rogue! You scared me!" Kitty shouted.
"Sorry, but I was here first," Rogue replied, and looked at Kitty and saw eyes still sparkling fresh from tears, "what happened?"
Kitty walked back inside and sat on her bed, "He told me loved me."
"He did? Wow! Wait, why are you upset?" Rogue sat next to her.
"Rogue! I don't feel the same way. The beauty of our relationship is that he's a guy that I can hang out with without having to worry about any of this. I'm not ready and I'm giving up on love anyway. It may be nice for a moment, but it'll be gone just like that," Kitty leaned back on her pillows.
"Kitty, it won't always be like that and you know it," Rogue shook her head and watched her roommate daze off.
[The next day]
"Kitty, you're going to see him one way or the other," Rogue was banging on the sides of the door of the car, "come out already!"
Kitty shook her head and stayed inside.
"You're acting like a spoiled brat!" Rogue hit the window.
Kitty stuck her tongue out.
"If you don't leave that car right now, I'll get him myself so you can talk," Rogue warned.
"Fine!" She grabbed her stuff and phased out.
Rogue turned to leave once she saw Kitty stomp away from the car.
Inside, Kitty made her way to her locker, but saw Pietro there waiting for her.
Kitty didn't even look at him, grabbed her stuff, and just left, with him watching her every movement.
At lunch, Todd commented, "Yo Pietro, what happened with you and Kitty-Cat? Is she ignoring you?"
"I don't want to talk about it," He replied softly.
After school, Kitty went back to her locker to put away some stuff, and was relieved to see no Pietro waiting for her this time. When she opened it, a note fell out.
"Come on Kitty, we have a Danger Room Session when we get home," Amara ran to where she was.
"I know, just a minute," Kitty picked up the note and read: Why are you ignoring me?
"Oh a note! What does it say?" Amara tried to sneak a peek.
"Nothing important," Kitty stuffed the note in her pocket, put her stuff away, and walked outside.
"Who wrote it?" Amara asked once inside the car.
"Who wrote what?" Tabby butted in.
"Kitty got a note in her locker," Amara announced.
"What did it say?" asked Jubilee.
"Who is it from?" Tabby scooted closer to Kitty to try to get it out of her.
"No one important," was her reply.
Rogue knew who it was from and decided to talk to her roommate later.
After dinner, everyone was hanging out in the living room, when the phone rang.
"Kitty! Telephone!" Tabby yelled from the bottom of the stairs.
Kitty got out of her room, and asked, "Who is it?"
"Speedy," Tabitha replied.
Kitty bit her lip, "Umm….tell him I'm not here."
"Ok….," Tabitha gave Kitty a confused look, but she just walked away.
So Tabitha replied into the phone, "Sorry Speedy, but she's not home right now…ok I'll tell her...bye."
"Kitty, what's up?" Tabitha knocked on Kitty and Rogue's door.
"It's nothing really, it's ok," She replied from the inside.
"Whatever. He said he'll call back," Tabitha then walked away.
An hour later, "Kitty, phone!" Bobby yelled from the kitchen.
"Popsicle, I don't think the neighbors heard you," Logan commented from his spot on the table.
Kitty phased her head through the floor, "Who is it? Is it Pietro again?"
Bobby nodded.
"Uh…tell him I'm washing my hair," then phased back up.
This happened till eleven o'clock, because the last time Logan answered the phone, "Listen Bub, its lights out, try again in the morning."
[A week later]
Kitty "washed" her hair every hour, and avoided Pietro at all costs. Since the "bimbos" noticed they weren't together, they saw their chance. All hope was gone for Pietro. Now he started to respond when the "bimbos" flirted with him.
During PE, Rogue grabbed Kitty and made her sit in the empty locker room. "This has got to stop Kitty!"
"What?!"
"Settle it, whatever it is between you and Pietro," Rogue turned and left.
After school, "Kitty, will you stop running away, please?" Pietro pleaded.
She just stopped where she was, but didn't turn around or anything.
"I love you, why can't you accept that?"
"Why did you have to go and change everything? I was doing fine, and getting closure and everything. I thought you knew I'm not ready for anything like this," She let some tears fall, but wiped them right away.
"Kitten, I-," He started.
"My first and serious boyfriend just left me to join some band in LA; did you think that with him being gone for a few months will let everything be ok?"
"I just wanted to let you know how I feel," He sighed.
"Well, I know now, is this what you wanted?" She asked sarcastically with a bit of hurt.
He started to get frustrated, "You know what? That was a stupid mistake. Forget I said anything."
Kitty was shocked, she wanted to be the one with the last word, but now it was Pietro, who was now walking away.
The next time Kitty saw Pietro, she saw a cheerleader hanging on his arm, sneering at her.
Kitty just rolled her eyes, and silently thought, 'I guess things are back to normal."
[A few days later at the Brotherhood Boarding House]
Wanda stormed into her twin's room, "You idiot!"
"What?" He was sitting in his bed listening to some music.
"I thought you love her?" She shouted.
"Why does it matter to you?" He shouted.
"Do you or do you not?" She lifted him with her powers.
"I do! Ok? Happy now?" He glared as she put him down.
"Then why are going back to those sluts?" She glared.
"I told her. She wasn't exactly thrilled when she heard it. She made it perfectly clear a couple days ago that she doesn't feel the same way. Obviously she wants nothing to do with me. What do you want me to do?" He emphasized with his arms out.
Wanda rolled her eyes, "Idiot! If you love her, fight for her."
"You don't think I tried that already? She hates me!" He snapped.
"Then why did you do it? You know she's having a hard time with Lance being gone, we all are," She stated.
"I don't know. I just really wanted her to know," He sighed.
"You were hoping she'd feel the same way didn't you?" Wanda asked.
He nodded.
"Are you just going to give up?"
"I guess," He replied.
Wanda started to use her powers on him.
"What do you want from me?!" He yelled trying to get away.
"I've seen you two together; you have something, something even better than what she had with Lance. She doesn't see it yet, but then again, you don't either. If you want to throw that all away be my guest!" She then caused havoc to his room and left content.
[At lunch the next day]
"You miss him, don't you?" Rogue saw the sadness in her roommate's eyes.
Kitty looked down, "Things are weird now, but yeah I do miss him. He always knew how to make me smile..."
"And you haven't smiled in such a long time," Rogue finished her sentence.
"He just took me by surprise, and I made the bigger mistake by pushing him away. I'm still not ready and I still don't know what to do, but he's my best friend. Will he ever forgive me?" She sighed and looked in his direction.
Rogue watched and saw that Pietro and Kitty were looking straight at each other, "Yeah, but you guys really need to talk this out."
