A/N-Hey, thanks for all the great reviews. Again, sorry for the wait

Misinterpretation

"I don't know what to do," John stated blankly with his head in his hands.

Bobby sat down next to him on the couch in one of the rec rooms. There was always a place you could be alone in the manor.

"Wow…I know why you did it…I just don't know why you did it then."

John had just finished describing his breakup with Rogue to Bobby. He felt guilty and miserable. Isn't doing the right thing supposed to feel good?

"I had to do it while I still had the nerve. I mean, I still love her and all. It's just I don't think I could've gone much longer with her behaving like she has been. It's like we're not even really dating anymore."

Bobby nodded his head sympathetically as he let John continue talking.

"She's been drinking so much over the past month she's probably going to need a liver transplant by the time she turns 25! But there wasn't anything that happened to make her start acting like this," John looked at Bobby. "Was there?"

Bobby leaned back into the couch, "I don't know, I mean not anything I noticed. Kitty never mentioned any drastic change."

John shook his head, "Then what is it? Why can't she just talk to me about it, or Kitty or you or someone? This is killing me."

He sat silent for a moment before leaning closer to John. "You really love her don't you?"

John laughed slightly and let his head fall back onto the couch. "Yeah, but she drives me crazy sometimes."

Bobby chuckled, "Well at least you don't have to deal with Kitty."

John cocked an eyebrow. "What's wrong with her? Besides her being totally spastic sometimes."

Bobby grinned, "I don't know, she's just kind of wild. It's like she's always on a cloud or something. She isn't as down to earth as Rogue is. Was."

"Excuse me?"

Bobby and John jumped at the sound of Kitty's voice as it pierced the calm room.

"Kitty! Didn't see ya there. Heh, how'd you get in here?" Bobby managed to stutter.

Kitty crossed her arms and glared at Bobby. "I opened the door." She replied coldly.

Bobby licked his lips nervously. "Look, just listen before you overreact-"

"Overreact?!" Kitty shrieked, "How would you like me to react, Bobby??" she pronounced his name just right make it sound like an insult.

"Uh." He swallowed hard.

"How would you like me to react when I come in here to find my boyfriend saying that I'm good enough as his ex??"

Bobby held out his hands in front of him as if to fend off an attack. "Kitty, that's not what I meant! If you just let me exp-"

Kitty cut him off again before he finished his thought. "I don't believe you." she shook her head, "You want to see how "down to earth" I can be? We're finished." With that statement she turned sharply on her heel and before she was completely out of the room, she turned and shrieked, "As in our relationship!"

Rogue was walking swiftly down the hall after a quick soak in one of the mansion's jacuzzi's. She turned a corner and—wham!

"Oof." Rogue stumbled back as she collided with Bobby, who was rushing in the opposite direction.

"Oh geez, sorry Rogue." Bobby held on to her shoulder to help steady the girl.

"No, it's okay. I didn't see you."

"Yeah, sorry again. I'm just kind of in a hurry."

"What's up?"

Bobby cringed. "Kitty kind of overheard John and I talking about some things and I think she took some things the wrong way…"

Rogue held up her gloved hands. "Say no more. I understand. I'll take care of it."

Bobby sighed, "I really think I should talk to her though."

"I think the best thing that you can do right now is just keep your distance. I mean, until she knows all the facts. Which, by the way, I should probably know."

Suddenly uncomfortable, Bobby shifted from his left foot to his right and back again. "Well, that's the thing. I mean, she does have the right to be upset. But if she had just listened to the rest of what I was going to say, instead of interrupting…"

Rogue narrowed her eyes. "What did you say exactly."

Bobby gave her a smile and ran his hand nervously through his hair. "Heh. Well, uh…that's the thing. I don't really think it's my place to tell you how we got onto the subject. I don't know if John would want you to know."

Rogue's eyes darkened. "Oh, I forgot about him. Well I guess I should've known he would've had something to do with this."

"Rogue—it's not what you think."

Rogue rolled her eyes. "And what am I thinking, Bobby?"

He shrugged, "I don't know anymore. I used to think I did, before all this."

"What's that supposed to mean?" she replied harshly.

Bobby threw up his hands, "Before John, before your drinking, all this-this drama."

Rogue shook her head, "You never had any idea. And neither did John, you can tell him I said so."

With that said, Rogue turned sharply on her heels (reminding Bobby harshly of Kitty), and stalked away.

A/N-Upon reflecting, I suppose I could have ended the story and started a sequel a couple chapters ago, but since I already got the ball rolling (I'm not really sure in what direction though) I guess there's no point in changing anything now. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed and I will try to make the next chapter longer. As always, please review
