A/N: This is just a filler chapter to try to move things along. Short as well. I'm sorry.
Chapter Thirteen: I love you…
It was unsettling. Not the shaking feeling of the world quaking and sending it's tumbling masses against you. It was the disturbance of the settled mind in a simple state.
No.
It was more like the tap tap tap of the needle upon your spine that softly and painfully reminded you that you made an uh-oh. An unforgivable uh-oh.
Was she forgivable?
Her mind didn't flit from problem to problem. There was only a numb understanding that she was disgusted with herself.
She had allowed herself to be whisked away from those who could protect her.
Symptom of self-loathing, number one.
She had slept with a man she didn't even know.
Symptom of self-loathing, number two.
She had maliciously stabbed an innocent man.
Symptom of self-loathing, number three.
" Were really movin' mountains, Rogue sugah, " she mused to herself, not even able to muster a grim, bitter smile to her face.
They were at a hospital, Kurt's teleportation shifting them to the ER as Remy bled and struggled to breathe. She had been speechless, filled with anger by her brother's actions. What was he doing? And when Kurt had explained the situation to her, fairy tale and all my dear, she sat down and stared at the floor.
Stared and stared, blinking when necessary.
" Vet's go to the bathroom and get you vashed up, eh? " She said nothing as he scrubbed the bowls of the swamp away from her face, obeyed silently when he whispered for her to tilt her head so he could wash her hair, the hand-soap smelling slightly tangy like lemons.
Her clothes were covered in moss and sludge, the original color indistinct able, and he tore them off, covering her naked form with his coat. She shivered, when her skin had come in contact with the air and it was then that she finally let the tears fall from her eyes. She was tired, pale, and bruised…and…and so…
" Ah love you, " she whispered, staring straight ahead. " Ah love you so much, " she latched onto her brothers hand, squeezing hard as she turned to him, fear in her eye's. He smiled back, enclosing her an a sibling embrace, " I love you too, Rogue. "
A/N: Please review, but more importantly, I hope everyone likes the story so far and I'm sorry if I've disappointed anyone.
