This story is a possible AU. Jean and Scott have been together for about five months, they went on their first date a few weeks after school started.
Jean has always been thought of as a perfect girl from a good family. But Jean has a darker side of her past, that no one knows of, not even Scott or the Professor. Will this secret tear them apart?
Disclaimer: I do not own x-men evolution, so please don't sue me, I have no money anyway. The song does not belong to me either, I wish they both did.
Well on with the story.
It was Winter and everyone in the mansion was leaving for the holidays. Kitty was going to visit her parents and convinced Rogue to come. Ororo and Evan were going to visit his family. The Professor was going to visit a friend on Muir Island with Logan and Hank. Warren and Remy were going to Washington D.C. Scott was leaving to visit Alex. Jean was the only one left in the mansion, or so she thought (evil grin).
Jean woke up at 8 AM hoping to catch Scott before he left for Hawaii.She went into his room to find it empty.Oh well,she thought at least the mansion is finally quiet. She went in the bathroom to take a shower.
Forge was fixing the security cameras before he left for the holidays. When he saw that Jean went into the bathroom the primal part of his male brain took control.
( I want to stop this story to say that Forge is a guy, and like all guys 'most' of them will like pretty girls and fantisize about them. Now Jean is a very pretty girl. Forge has already had his shares of fantasies about Jean. So seeing her go into the bathroom made him wonder what would Jean do in the empty mansion)
He thought about the cameras in the bathroom mirrors that he installed, and an evil grin appeared on his face He turned on the camera and saw to his disappointment Jean already stepped in the shower. He waited a few minutes for her to finish. When she came out she turned her back to the mirror.
Dammit, he thought.
Jean felt like she was being watched, so she turned her head to see the mirror. She had a quick flashback but it
soon passed, she turned her head again. No Jean don't remember. It happened and it's all gone. Focus on something else. She got out of the bathroom and threw on one of her t-shirts and jeans, thankfully Forge still hadn't figured out how to turn on the camera in Jean's room. She ran down the stairs to eat.
After breakfast she turned on the radio to full volume to hear Kelly Clarkson's "Since You've Been Gone".
She went to the phone to call Scott.
"Hello?"
"Hey Scott."
"Hey babe, what's the matter?"
"Nothing I just called to see if you're flight was okay."
"It was very boring."
"Oh. So how's Alex?"
"Good, he hasn't stopped showing off since I first got here." he answered sarcastically. Jean laughed
"So how are you?"
"I'm fine, just bored. Give me some ideas to stay occupied for the next two weeks."
"Why don't you work out in the Danger room, you've been getting sloppy lately."
"I meant something fun to do."
"Work on your songs."
"That's not such a bad idea...Hey Slym?"
"Yeah hon?"
"I've been thinking about my past lately...you know...before I came to the mansion..."
"Yeah?"
"Well I've been having...flashbacks...kind of."
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing...nevermind I'll talk to you later. Bye." She hung up.
What bad memories, Forge thought.
Jean ran up to her room, and went into her walk-in closet. As Forge found the camera that went to her room Jean disappeared. Where the hell did she go? You know what, screw this. He turned on the big screen and pressed many different buttons, on the big screen a smaller image showed the living room, dining room, kitchen, the gameroom, the bathroom, Jean's room, and the room that was right above Jean's that was supposed to be empty.
The room was full of pictures on the wall with Jean and Scott, as 12 year-olds, up to them as 18 year-olds. By the window was a set of drums, an acoustic guitar, an electric guitar, and a piano, all of which were dusty. There werealso a pile of boxes below the pictures. Jean got out of the closet and walked towards the boxes, she shifted through so of them until she found a piece of paper that looked like sheet music. She smiled slightly and sang outloud.
Once upon a time there was a girl
In her early years she had to learn
How to grow up living in a war that she called home
Never knew just where to turn for shelter from the storm
It hurt me to see the pain across my mother's face
Everytime my father's fist would put her in her place
Hearing all the yelling I would cry up in my room
Hoping it would be over soon
Jean telekinectically played the acoustic guitar.
Bruises fade father but the pain remains the same
And I still remember how you kept me so afraid
Strength is my mother for all the love she gave
And every morning that I wake I look back at yesterday
And I'm ok
I often wonder why I carry all this guilt
When it's you that helped me put up all these walls I've built
Shadows stir at night through a crack in the door
The echo of a broken child screaming please no more
Daddy don't you understand the damage you have done
For you it's just a memory but for me it still lives on
Bruises fade father but the pain remains the same
And I still remember how you kept me so afraid
The strength is my mother for all the love she gave
Every morning that I wake I look back at yesterday
It's not so easy to forget, all the marks you left along her neck
When I was thrown against cold stairs
And everyday afraid to come home in fear of what I might see next
Bruises fade father but the pain remains the same
And I still remember how you kept me so afraid
Strength is my mother for all the love she gave
Every morning that I wake I look back at yesterday
And I'm ok
When Jean ended the song a little tear flew down her cheek, but she quickly wiped it away.
I can't believe that Jean can sing.I can't believe that Jean can play the drums and the guitars... all at the same time. Wow.I think the world just went loco. Jean kept playing and singing songs until 3PM.
Well that's it for now. Please review! Oh yeah, this is my first fic so please, no flames. I thought that this song would fit. Oh and the song belongs to Christina Aguilara titled "I'm Okay".
