Chapter 8 As Time Passes Slowly
It had been almost three hours and the doctor hadn't come back yet, everyone was going crazy wondering if Jean would be okay, especially Scott. He kept blaming himself for what happened to Jean.
"Come on, let's get everyone some coffee" Kitty whispered. Rogue and Kitty went down to the cafeteria, the others just stood in silence.
"Listen, if you really love Jean you will stop blaming yourself for this, that scum bag is dead" Logan said.
"That doesn't change the fact that it still happened" Scott said.
Logan sighed and sat next to Xavier, "Here you go Scott" Rogue said gently. She handed him the cup of coffee.
He drank it silently, Kitty threw his empty cup away "Thanks" He said flatly. He stood up and leaned against the wall Rogue put a hand on his shoulder.
She hugged him, he embraced her she felt a tear hit her skin, she began to cry "It's okay Scott, she will be okay" Rogue whispered. She let him go, Scott noticed another hour had gone by and grinned.
"Damn it! How long does it take!" Scott shouted. "I'm sure it will be soon Scott just calm down" Kurt said.
"You don't understand! This…this isn't just an everyday thing! I was supposed to protect her!" Scott yelled.
"We know it's not! But it is not your fault" Kitty said. "Scott ah don't know why your blaming yourself, ah know your scared we all are" Rogue said.
Scott punched the wall and left. Kitty went after him, "No, let him go Kitty he's had a rough day" Xavier said.
"Ah hope Jean is okay cause ah am really scared, professor how much longer will it take?" Rogue asked.
"I'm not sure but it shouldn't be long, all we can do is hold up for right now" Xavier said. Kurt hugged Kitty; Rogue sat down and laid her head on Logan then all of them soon drifted to sleep.
Outside
Scott stood outside he then jumped on Logan's bike and sped off, he made a few laps around the street to calm himself. He returned to the parking lot, he got off the bike and walked inside.
He didn't want to wake the others; he sat down with his back resting against the wall and drifted to sleep.
