Note: Alright! Next chapter! This one was interesting, because this takes place all inside Bobby's mind. Oh the memories...

He glared down at the broken pieces of glass with cold, furious eyes. His family's faces stared back up at him, mocking his mood with their grins. They weren't his family anymore. He wondered if they ever really were.

You swear you recall nothing at all

That could make you come back down

You made up you mind to leave it all behind

Now you're forced to fight it out

His parents were always on him in a millisecond if he was different than anyone else. "Why aren't you making A's like your classmates? Why can't you play baseball like all the other boys?" The cold, uncaring attitude they molded him to have gave him the name 'Iceman' long before he met the X-Men.

You fall away from your past

But it's following you

His brother was perfect. He was never different and looked down on those that were. When Bobby found out about his mutantcy, he knew he couldn't tell anyone. He also knew that he had to get out of there- fast. So, he looked around on Google and ended up calling Professor Xavier. He lied and told his parents that he was going to a prep school 'like all the other boys'. He was out of the house by the end of the week.

You left something undone,

It's now your rerun

It's the one you can't erase

You should've made it right,

So you wouldn't have to fight

To put a smile back on your face

You fall away from your past

But it's following you

You fall away…

The day he revealed his long kept secret is still dream-like to him. In one hour, he had completely lost his family for good. His dad had done nothing to help him, his mother had said the most unbelievable phrase- "Have you tried…not being a mutant?", and his brother had betrayed him.

The performance Pyro had put on confused him. At first, he saw a pyromaniac showing off and enjoying the destructive results. But now, he wondered if he was actually trying to protect them and maybe buy them some time. He still didn't know.

Something I've done

That I can't outrun

Maybe you should wait

Maybe you should run

But there's something you've

Said that can't be undone

Bobby didn't really want to clean up the glass -he wanted to leave it as a broken reminder- but he knew Logan would come in and threaten him with his claws. And if Rogue came in first, she'd make him talk about it.

He gently pushed the glass aside and picked up the torn and weathered photograph. He ran his fingers over the edges and ended up with a paper cut. A single drop of blood splattered against the glossy paper. He wanted to forget them. He wanted to never think about them again. But he couldn't. And he'd never be able to.

And you fall away from your past

But it's following you

You fall away…

It's following you…

Fall Away- The Fray
