WHEN I LOOK IN THE MIRROR
Jubilee
Jubilee was finishing drying her hair in the bathroom she and Rahne shared. She felt so much better to be back here with her friends. It just felt right to her. She looked at herself in the bathroom mirror.
She remembered how it all came to be. She remembered how one day she was rollerblading with one of her friends. They were just having fun, and she was enjoying herself. Then it happened.
What she thought were sparks just started coming out. The yellow gloves she wore were ripped to shreds in a second and she thought her hands were literally on fire or something. She was panicking and ended up in an alleyway.
She found a puddle of water and put her hands into it as fast ah she could. When she took them out, her hands were fine. She was so scared at what had happened. Her friend had come up to find her.
Apparently when she took off she had lost her. When she found Jubilee she was crying from fear and she helped her home. She told her parents what had happened but they didn't believe her. They thought she was in shock and her mind made it up to cover something else that had happened.
She wanted to believe them, and maybe for a time she did. But then while at home it happened again. This time her parents were there for the show. For days her family was worried about her. Then like some answer to a prayer Xavier came to them.
He told them the whole story about mutants and how he had a school to help them. Her parents had no idea what to do with her and her afraid for her safety so they agreed. When she first got here she was a little disappointed about her powers.
Everyone else had all these cool abilities and she could only make fireworks. It was kind of a letdown. But still she made friends here. Good friends that can only come from sharing something between them that no one else could.
It was also were she met Bobby. At first she thought as him as just an immature jerk. But she learned that he was just an immature sweet guy. At least he was sweet when he wanted to be. He remembered how sometimes he would make these amazing ice sculptures just for her. Sometimes they were of her.
That was when she started thinking of him as a sweet guy. She remembered their first kiss. It was after the group had gone home after a movie and he had walked her to her door. She already kind of liked him, but didn't know if he felt the same.
So she took the first step and planted a light kiss on him. She pulled back quickly realizing what she just did blushing furiously. She began to apologies but he stopped her when he returned it.
She remembered her heart seemed to flutter at it. After that they were just started to date officially. But them Mystique had to ruin everything when she destroyed the mansion. Soon after her parents sent for her to return home.
She missed her friends and Bobby most of all. She cried herself to sleep for over a week. By then the world knew about mutants. It wasn't long until the students at school found out about her either.
It all started when one of her friends were being picked on by a jock. She stepped up and when he asked her what she would do if he didn't she blasted a can sitting idly by. Looking back on it she didn't think that was the smartest thing.
Soon everyone in school gave her hated looks and avoided her. Even some of her friends stopped seeing her. She felt so lonely. Soon she stayed away from her friends because others kept on harassing them.
When she started to only leave the home to go to school her parents asked why she wasn't out with her friends. She told them she didn't have any anymore. Then went into what had happened.
Her parents were concerned about her, and when she came home one day in tears and covered in what could only be described as pieces of garbage. That was the last straw with her parents.
They knew she wasn't happy there or could have anything close to a normal life again. So even though they feared she might not be safe there, they knew she wasn't safe here. So for the first time in a long time she was happy again.
She remembered at the airport how she ran into Rahne and the two girls immediately hugged each other and started to catch up. Then she got back here. The first person to open that door was Bobby.
She had though about him for so long and to finally see him she launched herself into him hugging him close afraid she was dreaming this. She hadn't realized how much she had missed him until that moment.
Looking at the mirror at her reflection she couldn't believe how her life had turned out so far. She was happy to be back here, because it was here that she felt at home. Where she felt safe and was where she fit in the most.
She would never want to leave again like last time. She was here to stay this time around.
