Chapter 16

Back Xaviers

Johnny awoke the next morning. It took him a second to remember where he was. Him and Charlie had fallen asleep in the car garage. He had a blanket over him, Charlie had most probably put it there. Johnny turned over. Charlie was still sleeping peacefully beside him. Johnny got up. He moved the blanket over onto Charlie. A smile appeared on her face.

'Morning' she said with her eyes still closed.

'Morning.'

She opened her eyes. She looked around, and relised where she was.

'What time is it?' she asked, slowly standing up.

'Nearly nine thirty.'

'Crap! I gotta class at ten.' she ran off through the garage doors before Johnny could say anything. He then heard footsteps again. Charlie ran back in and kissed Johnny on the lips quickly. She was about to turn away and go to class. But Johnny pulled her in for another kiss. She was breathless. She gave into her desires and didn't care about anything except Johnny and her.

When the kiss ended, Johnny looked into her eyes. They were sparkling. She smiled.

'I got to get to class and so do you!' she began to walk away.

'Meet me for lunch, by the tree.'

'Ok' she said.

When it came to lunch time the two sat against the tree. They chatted about what they had done in their previous class. Pyro sat up on the stairs with Bobby and Rogue. He walked Charlie and Johnny laugh and talk. It won't last for long, thought Pyro.

Later on that night, their group all meet up in the lounge. Charlie and Rogue were playing 8 ball. While Jack and Johnny played Fussball. Bobby and Pyro were on the couch talking. Rogue and Charlie had finished the game, Charlie had won. Rogue sat done. Pyro decided it was time to make his move. He grabbed a cue and walked over to the 8 ball table.

'Wanna play?' he asked Charlie.

Johnny looked up from his game. He glanced at Pyro who was talking to Charlie. Charlie looked unimpressed.

'Fine' she said agreeing.

Johnny went back to his game with Jack, but kept an eye on Pyro. Charlie seemed to be doing alright on her own.

'I am sorry' said Pyro. Charlie looked up from her shot over to Pyro. 'About me leaving. If I was to do it again I wouldn't have left.'

Johnny and Jack sat down on the couch, joining Bobby and Rogue.

'Apology accepted' said Charlie, sinking the ball. She looked up and over to the couch. Rogue, Jack, Johnny and Bobby were all watching them. Pyro turned and looked. They all went back to their conversation. Charlie laughed. She walked up to Pyro to take her next shot. She sunk that ball then leant up. Pyro was practically in her face. 'Accepting yout apology means you are forgiven. It doesn't mean are getting back together. We are just friends. Okay?' she said quietly.

'Ok' he said in a normal voice.

Charlie walked over to the lounge. 'I am going to go and get a soda, anyone else want one?' she asked.

'I'll have one' said Jack.

'Me too' said Bobby.

'Yeah, alright' said Johnny.

'I'll come and help you get them Flame' said Rogue.

Charlie turned. 'What about you Pyro?.

He smiled. 'Why not.'

Rogue and Charlie had began to walk of. But they stopped when they heard 'Hey wheres my lighter?' from Pyro.

Rogue laughed seeing that Charlie had it in her hand.

'Here' she said throwing the lighter.

Pyro caught it.

Charlie and Rogue continued their way down the hallway.

Jack smirked at the cheekyness of his sister.

'Her pranks haven't changed' commented Pyro.

'Thats Flame for you' said Jack. Pyro looked at Johnny. Johnny glanced up at Pyro. Pyro gave a sheepish smile. He was up to something, thought Johnny, well two can play that game.

'So Bobby you and Rogue are obviously still together' said Pyro.

'Yeah, why wouldn't we be?' asked Bobby.

'Dunno. A lot can change over six months.'

'Well we are still together' confirmed Bobby.

The girls arrived back with their sodas. Charlie whispered into Rogue's ear. She turned to Charlie and smiled. They handed each of the guys their drinks. Rogue handed one to Jack. Johnny looked up at Charlie. She smirked at him. Something was going on, thought Johnny.

Jack opened his soda up and it fizzed and he got covered in red creaming soda. Rogue and Charlie laughed, and gave each other a high five.

Johnny, Bobby and Pyro started laughing.

'Thats it sister! You are dead' said Jack. He got up from the lounge and grabbed Charlie. She screamed. He picked her up. She screamed again. 'Now where abouts should I throw you to? Hmmm'

'Jack!' screamed Charlie, jokingly.

'Whats going on?' asked Wolverine walking in.

'Charlie shook my soda. So now shes paying for it' answered Jack.

'Oh, I see' said Wolverine, smiling. He left the siblings together.

Jack started spinning Charlie around in circles and eventually put her down. He went to walk back to the couch and join everyone else. As he did though Charlie ran up and jumped onto his back. She put her hands over his eyes so he couldn't see where he was going. He couldn't let his sister win. So he started spinning around again. Charlie hit her foot into the back of his knee making him fall over. He then was able to see and tackled Charlie to the ground.

'Fine. You win.' said Charlie once Jack had got her into a head lock.

Everyone laughed. At least they were all having fun. Before Johnny had arrived and Pyro had left, this was the group that Charlie had hung with. They had a couple others but they came and went as they pleased. The six all sat down talking until it was bed time.

Hi again all my readers. How are you liking it so far? I was wondering if all of you would be kind just to write in your review who you think Charlie should end up with. Both Pyro and Johnny have feelings for Charlie. I know who I would prefer Charlie with but I thought it would be good to hear what you all like. Thank you all for your wonderful reviews... STORY WILL BE UPDATED IN THE NEXT DAY OR TWO!
