Chapter 7

A year is a long time. A long time to be in love. A long time to be in pain. Just a long time in general. I have found that being in love with someone new doesn't all ways mean that you are over the person from your past. You may think you are but that isn't the truth. Once you see them with someone else something happens. Something that you didn't think would ever happen. Jealosy. I mean if your in love with someone new then you should be over the one from the past; jealosy shouldn't even be a factor. But sometimes when a relationship is broken up because of affairs the pain you never truly can get over. No matter how much you try. Then the jealosy starts to set in when the person from your past loves another...

"Evie, how long have you been in here?" Emma asked questioningly.

"Long enough to know that something is terribly wrong. What is it?" Evie asked seriously.

"Nothing..." Emma replies under her breath.

"Don't lie to me. I'm your twin remember. I could feel that something was wrong with you all the way from the kitchen. Tell me." Evie responds with a stern and concerned voice while walking over to her sister who was sitting in front of a vanity table.

"It's nothing now can you just drop it." Emma yelled while getting up from the vanity table and crossing the room.

Evie sighes as she watches her distressed sister. Evie starts to walk over to the door and stops.

"If you ever want to actually talk I'm just down the hall." Evie says her voice full of defeat.

"Alright." Emma responds while looking at the floor.

Evie walked out of her sisters room.


Logan had been dating Ororo for five monthes. Did he love her. Yes. Well he felt like he did any way. She was everything he wanted in a woman. She was amazing. She was kind hearted and just wanted to be understood in the world. That's why he felt that what he was doing was right. He wanted to marry her. He wanted this marriage to last unlike his last one that ended a disaster. That is why he was going to propose to her tonight. At dinner, in front of all of their friends...

Logan walked over to Ororo who was sitting at a vanity table putting on her make up.

(A/N: Did all the women of the X-Mansion go to Ikea and buy vanity tables or what? LOL)

"You really don't need all that. Your beautiful already." Logan said.

Ororo stopped applying her makeup and looked at her intenly.

"Well thank you Logan but I do need a little to make myself feel comfortable." Ororo replied.

Logan chuckled as he walked over to the bed and sat down waiting for Ororo to finish.

"Alright. Ready to go down." Ororo asked?

Logan nodded as he led Ororo out of their room and down stairs to dinner in the dining room that the X-Men only used for special occasions.


Peter greeted Emma at her bedroom door and led her downstairs to eat dinner with the rest of them. She gave him a small smile as he led her to the stairs.

Emma... What's wrong. You are seriosly concerning me...To him she looked tired. Not herself at all. She was normally happy and cheerful. For the past five monthes she has just been down. Ive talked to everyone in the mansion they have all noticed it and don't know have an explanation. She won't even talk to me about it and its really bugging me. I have got to talk to her this is getting oddly uncomfortable. Its like she has changed completely and I have got to get to the bottem of it...


Once everyone was down in the dining room the meal began. It was a four course meal. The first course was caesar salad, with french dinner rolls. The second consisted of the home made soup that Jean had made herself. The third consited of beef wellington with fresh green beans (A/N: Definately not from a can.) and mashed potatoes. The fourth and final course was a chocolate souffle that the Professor made. Everyone seemed to enjoy the meal. No one really noticed Emma constantly looking over at Logan. The only people who noticed that was Scott and Logan himself and he tried not to pay attention to it.

"Can I get everyone's attention." Logan asked of the group.

Everyone goes silent for Logan's announcement.

"Everyone knows that I love this woman beside me very much. She is the light that has returned to my life. She makes me extremely happy. And that is why I have to ask her something tonight...Ororo, would you do me the honor of being my wife? Would you marry me?" Logan asked while reaching into his pocket and pulling out a ring.

(A/N: Don't kill me I know Logan isnt truly like that, but I had to make him how can you say lovey dovey for this one scene. Its just one scene. Please don't be too harsh.)

"Logan. Oh of course I'll marry you." Ororo replied estaticly.

Logan slipped the ring on her finger and hugged her. Everyone was clapping. Everyone except Emma. When he proposed to Ororo her heart dropped to the pit of her stomach. The room was buzzing. She was no longer able to hear the others clapping for Ororo and Logan. She was no longer looking at any one. She was just looking for a way out. Her answer came when the Professor announced that they all would me going to the drawing room for tea. Emma properly declined claiming that she was tired and wished to go to bed.


Emma rushed upstairs to her bedroom and locked the door behind her. She threw herself on her bed and cried.

What is wrong with me. I'm supposed to be in love with Peter. Why are my feelings coming back. Why! I don't understand myself. This is getting to be too much. I'm in love with Peter. Why am I jealous. Its been a year. Why did my feelings start to come back why...

Emma got off her bed and looked into the mirror on the vanity table. She grabbed a vase and violently threw it at the mirror shattering it to pieces.

Stupid mirror. I didn't like it any way. It was Ro's idea to get the vanity table in the first place.

Emma quietly walked back to her bed and cried. Apparently she couldn't hear Peter calling her name and was surprised when she found her door broken off its hinges and Peter who looked quite distressed burst into her room.

"Emma, whats wrong?" Peter asked with a major amount of concern in his voice.

"Peter, I'm really tired is all. I've had a hard day and I got frustrated and threw the vase. Its great that Ro and Logan are getting married. Thats wonderful news. I just don't feel like partying and want to get some sleep. Could you just let me sleep?" Emma asked.

Peter walked over to her and put his arms around her. He kissed her forehead and stroked her hair.

"Is that really whats bothering you?" Peter asked.

"Yes. I'll be my old self in the morning. Really." Emma said reasuringly.

"Alright. I'll see you in the morning." Peter said as he started to walk out of the room.

"What about the door?" Emma asked with some amusement in her voice.

"Um...I'll just set it in the doorway and hopefully it will stay there. Tommorow I'll get you a new door.

"Ok." Emma said as she watched her boyfriend prop the door up in the doorway.

Emma turned away from the door and crawled into bed and fell into a deep sleep that she wouldn't wake from until noon the next day.

(A/N: Wow. That woman can sleep. I cant even sleep that late. Unless I was up all night.)


Next Day:

It was noon before Emma woke the next day. No it wasnt from the noise that Peter made while fixing her door. It was the bright sunlight that was shining through her lace curtains. Emma woke and looked around her room. The glass that was on the floor the night before was cleaned up and a new mirror was on top of her vanity table. On the table itself was a note. Emma got up and went for it and picked it up. It read:

My Dearest Em,

You were asleep while I replaced your door. I don't know how you slept through that. That was the loudest door replacing job I have ever done. The only one in fact. Any way that is one of the things that amaze me about you. I also replaced your mirror if you hadn't already noticed. I had to leave early today to get to work. I won't be back till five tonight. Stay adorable. I hope your feeling better today. I Love you.

Yours forever, Peter.

Emma smiled a little bit. She put the note down and looked at herself in the mirror.

I can't believe myself. Look at me. I'm a monster. He treats me with the upmost kindness and love and yet I still hide my jealosy about Logan from him. Yes he would be hurt by this and that is why I must never tell him. I do love Peter. Its just Jealosy is practically throwing itself at me and I can't get away from it. If he ever finds out I hope he can forgive me.

Emma sighed as she went into her bathroom to get ready for the upcoming day.


For Ororo last night was amazing. She never expected Logan to propose to her. When she first started dating him she felt timid about the new budding romance. She was afraid that he was just on the rebound and was unsure if this relationship would last. But now she didn't have to be afraid anymore. SHe had him and she was never going to let him go.

Ororo left her room and met Evie in the hallway.

"Hey you ready to go. Emma's waiting downstairs for us. I just came up here looking for you." Evie said.

"Yes. What have you got planned for me anyway?" Ororo asked while being led downstairs.

"Just a little fun for the new bride to be." Evie responded with a smile on her face.

Evie and Ororo continued down the stairs and stopped when they met Emma waiting for them.


I can't do this. No. I can't go spend a day with a woman that is going to marry my ex-husband... I can't. I'm not strong enough to keep my emotions in check all day. Its just not possible for me...

"Lets go sis. We have alot of stuff planned for Ro. Its gonna take all day to do it." Evie said.

"I can't." Emma replied.

"Why?" Evie asked questioningly.

"I just haven't been feeling well lately. That's why I went to bed early last night because I wasn't well. I'm sorry Ororo. I really wanted to hang out today but I feel awful." Emma answered.

"Its alright Emma. I know how it feels to be sick. Don't worry about not coming. Its alright. We'll tell you all about it when we get back. Feel better alright." Ororo responded kindly.

Emma gives Ororo a small smile and starts to walk towards the stairs. She glances at Evie and notices that Evie is giving her a what are you doing kinda look, but she disregards it and goes back upstairs.

Evie and Ororo watch as Emma returns back upstairs and then they walk out into the beautiful sunlight and leave the mansion for their little adventure.


Emma retreated back upstairs just to make a detour to the kitchen. She knew of something that would make her feel better about the emotions inside of her. Once she was in the kitchen she knelt down behind the island that was in the middle of the kitchen. She opened the floor board and found a bottle of Jack Daniels stashed away in there. She grabbed it quickly and put the floor board back and went back to her bedroom.


Scott had known something was up with Emma ever since he saw her staring at Logan at dinner last night. He knew that jealosy was a bad thing to deal with since he himself had dealt with it when the Jean/Logan thing was going on when Logan first arrived at the mansion. He eventually got over it when he finally realized that Jean really did love him and only him. He felt extremely bad for Emma. She was in a relationship but she wanted her husband back once she saw that someone else had him. It was quite a common thing in relationships today but he didn't know how to help her. He wanted to help her and save her relationship with Peter as well. We didn't want too many emotional people in this house. That could be a huge mess. He had to do something...

Emma was sitting in her room drinking straight from the bottle of the Jack Daniels. She obviously didnt know how potent the stuff was and didn't realise that she was extremely drunk, but no too drunk to where she didn't know her feelings. She left her room with the bottle and stumbled around searching for Logan. She found him in the living room watching TV.

"Logan" Emma said while hiding how drunk she was.

"Emma..." Logan responded while getting up from the couch. He could smell the liquour on her from where he stood.

"Logan I need to talk to you. Its important." Emma said while partially walking partially stumbling over to Logan.

"Alright. What is it?" Logan asked.

"I didn't realise how much you meant to me when I lost you the first time. I don't wanna loose you again forever. If you marry her I will be alone." Emma said drunkenly/partially normal.

"Emma...You aren't alone. You have Peter. He loves you..." Logan said

"Your the one I want. I love you Logan. I'll take you back. If you will just return to me. We can be together forever." Emma said pleadingly.


Meanwhile while this whole conversation was going on Scott walked in. He stopped when he heard their voices talking. He wasn't detected so he stayed where he was at.

"Emma. I'm going to marry Ro. I love her." Logan said as he watched his ex wife look at him with agony in her eyes.

"I loved you first Logan..." Emma then stopped talking and aggresively kissed him.

Logan was surprised at this and shoved her away. It was hard to push her away because she grabbed onto his arms and didn't want to let go. But he succeeded and he was able to push her away.

"What the hell do you think your doing Emma." Logan said practically yelling.

"I'm marrying Ro, and there's nothing you can do about it." Logan said.

Emma got a sad/mad look on her face. She threw the bottle at the wall and it shattered. Sending the liquid running down the wall.

"She will never love you like I do." Emma yelled through tears.

Logan stops walking and turns towards her. Suddenly Scott comes in. He is unable to listen to this conversation and not do anything about it.

"Emma. You can't do this. Ororo loves Logan. And Peter loves you. Why do you want to hurt these three people so badly."


Unknown to the three people now in the conversation; Peter just arrived back at the mansion. He heard yelling and followed it to the living room. He walked into the room right after Scott said what he said. Peter stared at the scene before him. His girlfriend with her back to him crying. Logan looking extremely annoyed, and Scott unsure of what to say next.

"I don't want to hurt them. I just can't get used to seeing Logan with her. I don't understand what I'm feeling" Emma said quietly through her tears that were now flowing freely down her cheeks.

Everyone is surprised by the voice they hear next.

"Whats going on Emma?" Peter asked in disbelief as to what he just heard.

Peter looked from one person to the next. First Emma, Scott, Logan, and back to Emma. He was staring into her eyes that were darkened by sadness and didnt hold any light at the moment.

Emma saw the pained and confused look on Peter's face and she didnt like it. She continued to cry when she became lightheaded and her world fell into darkness...
