Chapter 5: Never Ending

It is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. (Lance Alvers)

Pietro had been waiting outside Lance's room for quite some time now. How long would it take Kitty to read a letter and rummage through an old shoebox? Finally, the door opened and Kitty's face appeared through the door. It was obvious that she had been crying. Kitty turned towards him slowly.

"Are you okay?" Pietro asked Kitty. She lifted her head and their eyes met.

"Thank you, Pietro. Thank you so much." She reached out and embraced him as tears started falling down her cheeks again. Pietro just stood there, shocked by what she had just done, and then he lifted his arms and returned the unexpected embrace.

It had already been a year since Lance passed away. The Brotherhood of Mutants was long gone. Each member had already moved on with their lives. The Institute had recruited new members with Jean and Scott in charge. Kitty and Pietro stood over Lance's grave in the cemetery. The two moved into the house that Lance bought for Kitty and they became really good friends. They soon turned out to be inseparable.

"It's been so long, Lance. I wish you were still here with us. I miss you so much."

"Yeah." Please don't think that I'm trying to move in on your I'm not, Pietro thought, We're really good friends and I'm just looking out for her, like you asked me to.

There was a slight rumble of the earth beneath their feet. The two friends looked wordlessly at each other and smiled. They both knew who it was. Then they walked out of the cemetery hand in hand towards their future......

Real love stories never have an ending.............
