The sun came through the window and shined down on Rogue's face, waking her up. She turned her body to the opposite direction, trying to go back to sleep where the sun was not in her face. She opened her emerald green eyes and looked at the wall. 'Ah really need ta remember ta put the blinds down at night.' She thought to herself as she stretched her arms, realizing she wasn't going to be able to fall back asleep.
She sat up in her bed and turned to the window to look at it, then saw a figure standing there. She jumped back in surprise. 'Who the?' She thought, not recognizing the man she saw. 'He is still here?' She thought, remembering the man from last night that said he would be there and not go away until she was happy. He was staring at her. 'Was he there all night?'
"What are ya still doin here?" Rogue finally asked as she rubbed her eyes. "Ah thought Ah told ya Ah don't need ya help." Rogue yawned while saying it, making it seem not as harsh as she wanted it to be.
"An' Gambit thought he told y' he wouldn' be leavin' y'." Remy smirked at her. She was having a serious case of morning hair. He had watched her all night long, tossing and turning in her sleep. Once in a while she would mumble out of few names such as Logan, Bobby, Jubilee, her parents, and some other people's names.
"Well maybe ya should find another job then.' Rogue yelled over to him as she got up out of bed. He was still looking at her. "Didn't ya go to sleep last night or were ya watchin me?" She questioned him, noticing how he had been up when she went to bed and when she woke up.
"Hard for anyone to sleep while chere is snorin'." Gambit told her sarcastically. He stared at her while she got up and went over to a drawer across from the foot of her bed. 'Mabbe, instead of tryin' to make her mad, mabbe Remy should try to work things out wit her.' He thought to himself.
"Listen, Gambit sorry about dat last thing. Y' have nightmares again, chere?" He asked her, trying to make better conversation.
"Like Ah already told ya, it's none of ya business." She glared over at him. He still woudn't leave her alone, no matter how many times she asked him to.
"Can we try to get along? I ain' goin' to be goin' anywhere and I think we should at least try to get along." Remy told her trying to ease the anger out of her. "Gambit's real name is Remy LeBeau." He introduced his name to her. "What's y'rs?" He asked.
"Mah name is Rogue. It's none of ya business ta know mah real name." She turned around and snapped at him. "Ah told ya already, Ah don't need anyone. What part of that don't ya understnad?" She said as she carried a some new clothes into the bathroom and closed the door. She then opened it and said. "And don't be watchin mah while Ah shower!" She closed the door behind her and started up the shower.
Remy sighed. "Should of taken pere's advice, don' make a lady mad, unless y'r askin for trouble." He said to himself as he walked over to her bed and sat down on it. He went right through the bed. He started to curse as he stood up.
"Merde, dis sucks, can' even sit down." He hated every moment of being a ghost. He couldn't touch anything without going through it. He started walking around the room again, as he did the night before. 'Mebbe if I try to find something she is interested in, she will ease up a bit.' He thought to himself.
"Dis femme sure likes to read." He said looking down at the piles of books he found in the corner of the room. He started walking back and force around the room, he had no idea what else he could do. He was not allowed to leave Rogue's side, unless in the shower apparently. He couldn't touch anything without going through it. He just hoped she would be out of the shower soon. He heard the water in the shower turn off.
"How does Remy get dis fille to open up? He never had dis problem with any of dem." He mused to himself, not hearing the door to the bathroom just open. "Gambit's never going to get into heaven, dey already probably knew dat up dere. Dis is his only way and he not be doin' so good." He sighed, his back to the bathroom door.
Rogue heard what he had said and began to feel a bit guilty. 'Maybe it was a bit harsh wat Ah said ta him earlier. Poor guy, just wants ta be able ta go inta heaven. It would be mah fault if he doesn't.' She thought to herself as she opened the door a bit more, acting as if she never heard him speaking to himself.
He turned around to her. "Ah'm goin' ta get some breakfast now." Rogue told him, her tone of voice was less angry as it had been earlier. "Ya goin' ta come or not?" She asked as she walked to the door to exit into the hallway.
"After y' chere." He smiled at her and let her exit first. He then followed her and she closed the door behind them. 'Dis is certainly different dan before. Wonder what changed? Unless dis is all a trap and later she gonna bite my head off.' He thought to himself.
They walked down the halls of the mansion. Remy looked as some of the students went by her and would start going to the opposite direction or go into a room that wasn't even theirs. "Why de chile's afraid of y'?" He asked her.
"Few months back, when Ah first came ta the mansion. Ah got scared one night and decided to go see my friend Logan here. He isn't here anymore though. But, well, Ah went into his room and Ah guess he was havin a bad dream, cause when Ah shook him he jumped up and accidently hurt meh. Ah then used mah powers by touchin him and taken his healin' factor. He got knocked out from it, but the other's around here saw it and that's when some of them got afraid of meh. Not all of them were afraid, but a good majority of em were. " She explained to him.
"Soon they started comin' around and actin' normal again. That was until she came and ruined it." Rogue added in
She had replayed that memory the most. The first day she was there, everyone treated her like a normal person. She loved it, but then after that she could never forget the terror on their faces when they saw what she had done. Of course, it didn't help matters when the new student came and made things ten times worse.
"Dat wasn' y'r fault chere, dese chile's must be stupid if dey think y'd hurt dem. Y' been livin' 'ere for a while and dey haven't realized y' won' harm dem." Gambit told her. He was beginning to see more of why she had been so depressed. Heck, if he was in the same situation he would too. There was only one time in his life he had that stituation and he hoped he never would go through it again. After seeing that this was her life now, sort of depressed him.
"Ah keep wonderin' though, if Ah were in their situation would Ah do the same if Ah had different powers. Ah keep thinkin' ta mahself that Ah woudn't, but Ah don't know." She said sadly.
"Ah'm sure y' wouldn' chere, y' don' seem like de type ta act dat way. Even if y' did have different powers." He told her, trying to make her feel better.
"How do ya know? If ya met mah and found out about what mah powers could do, would ya be scared? Ah put mah first boyfriend inta a coma. Ah never found out what happened to him." Rogue said as she did her best to push back the tears. Oddly enough, after all the practice she had, she was able to.
"Chere, believe moi, if Remy were still alive and met y' he wouldn' be scared. He sorta knows what it is like." Gambit tried to make her feel better. She rolled her eyes.
"How could ya ever know?" She asked him, she thought he was just making up more excuses. She had heard them all before. I have problems with my powers, but then I was able to control them. She didn't have control and that's what made it almost worse than having them.
"When Gambit first got his powers, he could touch nothin' with out makin' it go boom. Mon pere was not happy with dis boy when he blew up the front door or his car. He sent moi away until Remy figured out how to use his powers without destroyin' everythin' in sight." Gambit looked over at her.
Rogue wanted to say something, but they began to pass some more people as they started down the stairs. She didn't want it to look as if she was speaking to herself. Once the people passed her she began to speak what was on her mind. "Ya got control over it though Ah'm guessin'." She looked at him when they reached the bottom of the stairs.
Remy for a moment looked ashamed he brought it up. 'Dat's right, she can' control de power's she has.' He thought to himself. "Sorry, cher. Remy didn' mean to rub it in y'r face." He apologized to her as they passed the empty class rooms.
"It's alright, sugah. Ah'm use ta it." She gave a weak smile and walked into the kitchen.
Gambit stopped in the door way and stared at her. 'Never seen someone so brave.' He thought to himself as he watched her grab a bagel from the cabinet. 'Still don' get how de people around 'ere can be afraid of her. Jus' cause her powers can drain someone doesn' make her evil. Dese kiddies around 'ere needa grow up. Who would be afraid of her?' He thought angrily.
Rogue looked up at Gambit after she put some cream cheese on her bagel. "Ya goin ta enter the kitchen or not?" She asked, raising a eyebrow curiously.
"Which would be prefer, chere?" He asked her with a grin on his face. He hadn't realized he had been in the doorway and had been staring at her.
"Don't matter, Ah gotta get ready for mah class." Rogue said as she walked out the kitchen door, Gambit got out of the way to let her through, not that it really mattered if he did move. "Come on swamp rat." Rogue smiled at him.
"Aw, Gambit think's y'r startin' to warm up to him. Givin' him a cute little nick name in all." He smiled as he followed her.
