Chapter 10 It's good to be back

Jean stepped into the institution for the first time in four days, she knew what had happen could never be forgotten but she wouldn't let it take over her life. Scott sat down beside Jean on the couch.

She wiped a tear from her eye, "What's wrong?" Scott asked. "It's just…I don't know how to get through this" Jean said.

"You will…we will together I promise" Scott said. She hugged him tightly he held her close to him not wanting to let her go.

"How about I take you out tonight huh? Just the two of us we could eat then maybe go to a dance club, what do you think?" Scott asked.

"I think I'd like that, let me get ready" Jean said. She went upstairs to get a shower, the phone rang Scott picked it up "Hello?" Scott said.

"Hello this is Lauren Mr. summers Jean's nurse, I was calling to tell you we need Jean to come in tomorrow afternoon so we can get another sample of her blood, the last one was dropped would it be possible for her to come in?" Lauren said.

"Sure, ill bring her myself" Scott said.

"Thank you, goodbye" Lauren said. Scott hung up the phone. "How is she holding up?" Rogue said walking in. "I think she will be okay, I'm taking her out to clear her mind" Scott said.

"It's good she has you around Scott, otherwise ah don't think she would ever be okay" Rogue said.

"Yeah, I guess so" Scott said. Jean came downstairs, "Hey Rogue!" Jean said. She hugged Rogue.

"Good to see you up and about again Jean" Rogue said. "See you later" Jean said. Scott and Jean walked out the door.

"Scott how about we skip lunch? I'm not really that hungry" Jean said. "Are you sure?" Scott said. "Yeah, let's just go to the club" Jean said. He drove them down to the dance club and they got out.

Scott held the door open as Jean walked in, "Ill be right back, I need to use the restroom" Scott said.

Jean sat down at the bar waiting, "Can I get you a drink?" A man asked, "No thanks" Jean said.

He touched her shoulder, "Aw come on, what's one drink?" He said again. Jean was about to say something until Scott grabbed the hold of the man's arm

"Get away from her" Scott said sternly "Or what?" He said. Scott gripped the man by his shirt collar "Ok, ok!" The man shouted. Scott let the man go, "Come on Jean, let's dance" Scott said.

He wrapped his arms around Jean as a slow song played she looked into his eyes. He leaned in slowly and kissed her softly. She smiled and held him tightly she knew she was safe… she was with Scott.

Institution

It was now eight o' clock the others didn't mind that Scott and Jean were out so late they knew it was good for Jean to clear her mind.

"So professor, did you talk to Jean telepathically yet I mean about what happened?" Kitty asked.

"No, I did not I was afraid that it was beyond my reach to do so" Xavier said.

"You mean that you didn't feel as if it would help because it's not something that usually happens?" Rogue asked.

"Along those lines somewhere, yes" "I'm glad she's back, hey shouldn't Logan be back now?" Kurt asked.

"Ah think he's on his bike, ah think he just wants everyone to know it's his" Rogue said. Everyone laughed.

Dance Club

Scott and Jean kept dancing to the beat, "Thirsty?" Scott asked. "Yeah, just a wine cooler for now" Jean said.

"Okay, I'll be right back" Scott said. Jean smiled as he left she knew he really cared about her.

Jean felt something between her and Scott nobody could ever replace. He came back and they sat down and talked as they drank their beverages. "You have to get more blood taken tomorrow at noon" Scott said.

"Why?" Jean asked. "They dropped the other sample" Scott said. Jean just laughed, "Alright" Jean said.

It was now eleven at night, "We should head back" Scott said. Jean nodded and they drove off.

Institution
Scott and Jean walked the doors and snuck upstairs, "Good night" Scott whispered. He kissed Jean on the lips.
He went into his room; he slipped a pair of boxers and a white beater on. He laid on his bed then someone came in, "Jean?" Scott said.
She was in her pajamas. "Hey Scott" Jean said. "Are you okay?" Scott asked. "Yes" Jean said.

He stood up, she hugged him "Thank you so much Scott, you were there for me the whole time" Jean said.

"I always will be Jean, I love you" Scott said. She kissed him and he kissed her back passionately.

They sat down on his bed, "Wait, Jean are you okay with this?" Scott asked.

She smiled and nodded, he kissed her again as he removed her shirt they spent the rest of the night loving one another in each other's arms.
