I just want to thank everyone for bearing with me while I try to complete this chapter. I claimed that the last chapter would rock your world and personally I feel it fell short as I look back at it. So I'm hoping this chapter will make up for it.

As the stars shined and Terry looked at his necklace, he remembers her face. How soft it was and how warm it felt the first day he touched it. As Terry rose to his feet he startled Rogue, who was staring at the stars.

"I'm going to get some sleep; I think you should do the same." He wipes away the tears that were coming down his face. Rogue just looks at him.

"Don't worry, you couldn't help her but at least you can help her now by stop Harrison from killing all the mutants in the world. I think that's something she would have wanted at least." Rogue lowers her head to look at him. She could feel how much pain he was going through, the team is still going through that same pain of loosing someone, loosing Jean. He enters the house and passes Bobby who is coming out the same door.

"Is everything alright, Rogue? You look upset." He seems to always know when something was wrong with her, ever since that day in the jet when they almost died. They held each others hand while the pain rush over there bodies, forcing each other to watch each other slowly faded away. She just nodes her head and goes back to looking at the stars.

"Come on, you can tell me." He moved close to her to let her feel his presents. He wants to reach out and grab her hand but he knew it wouldn't have been the same.

"I just don't get it, we've been through the same thing yet I feel that he has nothing to live for anymore. He saw a future with that girl and the fact that it was taken away because a case of a racist and mistaken identity." At this point he knew what she was talking about but it was the way she felt about it. There's was know real reason for her to feel that way except for the bond her and that boy shared. "He going through this like it's his own personal war against this guy", she lowers her head to look over her shoulder towards Bobby, "and he won't let this go till he stop him completely."

Bobby rubes his hands together and crakes his knuckles, "I don't know what to say to that but is that how you truly feel or is it him?" He looks at her and notices a stunned reaction. "I know this is just paranoia but ever since he touched you that day, he seemed to be the only thing on your mind. The interesting thing about all this is the fact that you said your skin never touched his. You said so, yourself but you still know everything about him, like he implanted to on you or something." Rogue could hear the frustration in his voice.

"Bobby, don't worry I still care for you, this'll pass, I promise." Rogue turns around and faces Bobby, but he begins to walk away. "Bobby, come on."

"Rogue, I'm sorry. I'm just worried that's all, after hearing that story I feel like that could happen to us and…I just don't want to lose you, that's all. We both understand the risks involved but it's like he say if I every lost you I would want to kill who ever did too, with my bare hands." Rogue walks up behind Bobby who is now in the middle of the kitchen and places her hand on his hand that's clutched in a fist.

"You won't loose me, ever." She place her other hand over his mouth and kisses it then heads towards the living room.

The Next Day…

It was about mid-morning and everything seems almost quite in the mansion except for the 3 girls out in front of Terry's door. There all look through the door partially ajar "So who is he? Know one really told us who he is yet, we see him around and he's always keeping to himself." One girl says while moving back to putting on make-up.

One of the other girls looks at her and giggle, "Yeah well, I can see why? With all that make-up on you look like animal, Karen. No offence, Liz." She looks at the girl next to her that has cat like features.

"None taken, Kim...wait look he's taken off his shirt." Liz waves over the other two and they rush over. "He really cute, I wonder if he's taken?" She sits back and begins to check herself. "How do I look, girls?" She stands up so the other two can get a good look at her. The other two stand up as well but with a stunned look on there faces and they both began to point at her. "What do I have something on my face?" She licks her paw and rubes it across her face.

"Hi, Rogue. Heh, what are you doing here." Karen stretches her arms and pulls Liz over to her. Rogue stands there with a raised eyebrow, looking at the group of girls.

"Well, when I saw you, girls, went in front of Logan's or Scott's door, I decided to check on our guest. What are you doing?" she points toward the door.

The girls begin to blush, "We were just checking out the new guy, that's all." Karen looks at the others to see nodes of approval.

"Yeah and he's really hot, wow." Kim starts waving her hand in front of face as Liz giggles.

"You know, you two are real stupid, you know that." Karen places her hand over her face in embarrassment. "Sorry, Rogue but Kim is right, for once. Who is he?" She peeks in the door once more.

"He's a friend of mine that's all you need to know. Don't you have horse back riding lessons or something today?" She pushes the girls away from the door.

"It's a Saturday." Liz points to the clock on the wall that shows the date, time and what day it is.

"Well go to the mall then. It's a nice day you shouldn't be stuck inside." She stops pushing and points, the girls start to walk towards the stairs. She turns around and walks towards the door knocking before entering. "Your developing quit the fan club out of the girls here at the school." She closes the doors behind her but it creeps open to reveal the girls are back. Terry just sits there writing in his journal.

Day 45

It's been a while since I had a good cry. Late last night I told the x-men the whole story and so far there willing to help me. As weird as it sounds I don't think they can. I mean they are mutants and all but to tell you the truth, these guys know what their doing and won't stop until they have me and file. Since I've been here, I've felt like I'm changing slowly but its change nonetheless. Once I got here my headaches been getting stronger, so has the intense burn all over my body. Only time it seems to go away is when Rogue is around. It's strange, it was the same way with Jessica, when ever she was around the pain went away. Know that I shouldn't be saying this but I think I'm starting to fall for Rogue. Once I saw her I just saw beauty at its finest but is this part of her powers or is it me. The way I feel towards her its so familiar to me I want to say its lo...

He just notices Rogue just walked in so he slams the journal close and grabs a shirt. "I didn't hear you come in." He places the journal on the bed and gets up to put on the shirt.

"I just came by to see if you wanted to go to the mall or something?" She walks towards him but trips over the rug and starts falling forward into Terry causing them both to fall on to his bed. Landing on the bed it causes his journal to fly into the air and land on the other side of the bed wide open to the page he was writing on. As Rogue starts to pull back she stops inches away from Terry's face. They end up staring at each other closely, watching to see what the other does. Terry moves his hands from her shoulders to her arms as if to help her up but it ends up bring her closer to him there lips nearly touching. Rogue doesn't resist, she know he wants to kiss her but he afraid of what she'll do afterward. There breathing begins to slow with each moment as if get comfortable being this close to each other. The clothing that his hands went across seems to disappear as if burnt away and reappear like nothing happen. Both of his hands are touch her somehow bare skin but they don't notice. Rogue lowers her head allowing there lips to touch but just barely to see what happens. A strong cooling sensation comes over her body but she doesn't want to pull away, Terry rises his head a little to start kissing back. Rogue is engulf in the moment with her mutant powers seem not to work, she pulls back and takes off her glove. He begins to speak but she places her gloveless hand over his mouth feeling the curve of his lips with her hand. She smiles in amazement at the fact as she slides her hand over to his cheek then begins kissing him once more.

"What is she doing her powers are going to kill him." Karen sits back along with the others.

"Have you girls seen, Rogue" Bobby looks down at the girls sitting in the door way of Terry's room. He notices the door was cracked open and sees what happening in the room. Stepping over them he pushes the door open causing it to slam against the wall. "What are you doing to my girlfriend?"

Terry and Rogue startle stop kissing and move away from each other.

"Bobby, calm down." Rogue grabs her glove and puts it back on. Bobby grabs her by the arm and pulls her away from Terry, putting her behind him. "Bobby…" The part of sleeves where Terry had his hands reappears.

"Sorry, man. I didn't mean for this to happen" Terry stands up but Bobby walks over and push back down landing on his back again. "You don't know who your messing with, just stop it and calm down, ok?" He gets up again but this time in Bobby's face.

"Who the hell are you to tell me what to do?" Bobby clutches his fist and it turns into ice. Rogue sees this and tries to calm him down.

"Bobby, just wait a minute. Think about what your about to do." She steps to the side of him and places her hands on his face. "Look at me…"

He pushes her hands away before she could say anything. "Don't speak to me. You said there was nothing between you two. You lied."

"Don't push her around like that." Terry pushes Bobby by the shoulder. Bobby turns and swings at Terry with his iced fist. As the fist comes closer Terry's eyes begin to glow just before it hits him, he grabs Bobby's fist in mid-air causing the ice to shatter and evaporate while with his other hand, he punches Bobby in the face sending him flying backwards a few feet, land on his back. "I told you to chill." Rogue stunned at what she just saw she rushes over to Bobby's side and helps him up and they both leave the room. "Rogue, wait. Damn!" he steps back and sits on the bed. A leaf sails in through the open window behind the bed and lands right next the journal. A gust of wind blows the leaf on to the page covering the unfinished word then it burns away, revealing the phrase I want to say its love, No, it is love.
