Only one reason in the end

Chapter Two: Blueberry Muffin


I finished combing my hair just in time as I heard a knock on my bedroom door. Shock covered my face as I found Bobby standing there.

"Hi Rogue."

"Um, hi Bobby," I said the words slowly, feeling as if they might not come out.

"I just thought I'd stop by and ask if… if I could walk you to your class," Bobby asked politely as he shifted his book bag further on his left shoulder.

I couldn't help but smile. "Sure, but class isn't for another 40 minutes."

"Yah I know, I came early hoping you'd join me for breakfast in the cafeteria."

I felt like letting out a little squeal of joy. "Just give me a moment to grab my things." Swiftly I blotted into my room picking up my paper and pens and jamming them into my bag. I was out the door in less than 30 seconds.

"That was fast," remarked Bobby with a grin.

"I didn't want to keep you waiting," I replied a bead of sweat trailed down my forehead; quickly I wiped it away with back of my glove.

"I like your gloves. They make you look mysterious."

"I wish that was only it," I replied starring at these horrible green clad gloves.

"You ready to talk about it or do I have to tempt you with a blueberry muffin first?" He suggested as he opened the door. "Ladies first."

We decided to find a vending machine instead of wait in line for a hot meal. After we were done making our selections we strolled over to a table.

"I bought you a blueberry muffin so fess up now," he laughed placing his book bag on the floor beside him.

I took a giant bite out of my muffin hoping to delay the inevitable.

"I can see what you're doing and it isn't gonna work, cause if you keep eating that muffin the way you are it'll be done in 2 minutes," Bobby smirked.

He had me there. "Fine, but remember I'm only confessing because that was a really good muffin."

Bobby chuckled a little and shook his head. "Okay."

"Well from what I know exactly or more like experienced is well… I can absorb others' memories and abilities through physical contact. I'm not very proud of what I've become but I'll have to live with that… hopefully not for the rest of my life."

After I finished there was just silence. I started to get worried that I said too much. He looked at his muffin and then back at me.

"Rogue I'm sorry, I had no idea."

"You don't have to be sorry, you did nothing wrong. I've already come to terms with my abilities and limitations."

"I hope your parents handled the situation differently than mine did. They just stuck me here because their frightened of me."

"Not exactly… I ran away." I took the last bite of my muffin and started to crumble up my wrapper when Bobby asked.

"So then… if you don't mind me asking, who's the guy from last night?"

I'd never thought I'd see this but I actually believe I heard jealousy in Bobby's voice. "Well after I ran away I happened to run into him and ever since then he's taken care of me. If it weren't for Logan I would never have found this place and had a real chance at controlling my powers."

"Well in my opinion I like him already; because of him, I got to meet you."
