CHAPTER II
Finally! The long awaited Chapter Two! lol. Well, I hope that you all enjoy it as much as you enjoyed the first one!
(At the X- Mansion)
Ororo, Jean and Scott were sitting in Professor X's office, all sitting in chairs. Ororo sighed, to break the silence and looked to the Professor. "He has a problem like Kurt had, Professor." Xavior looked back to Ororo and nodded. "Was there any evidence on his neck, like Kurt had?" He asked her, a little curious. Ororo shook her head, "No." Xavior sighed and then looked over to Jean. "Then, we do not know if he is telling the truth. He hurt Marie. He might try something like that again." Scott nodded, in agreement with the Professor. "I don't think Logan will put up with that again." He leaned back in his chair. Ororo and Jean nodded in agreement with Scott. "Well, there is nothing we can do, at the moment, with him. Only you can monitor him, Jean." Xavior told Jean, as if it was an order. Jean slowly nodded, stood up and left the room. Scott watched Jean leave and sighed. Xavior looked from Ororo to Scoot and then cleared his throat. "This meeting is over." He told the two of them and started up with his daily work. Ororo and Scott looked to each other, stood up at the same time and left the room.
(Marie's room)
Marie was sitting in her room, on her bed, staring at her new cast. She sighed and looked out the window. She then heard a knock on her door and looked to it. "Come in!" She called. The door slowly opened, and Logan walked in. Marie just stared at him and then looked down to her lap. "If you're here to say, "I told you so...", then you don't have to. I know I should've listened to you." Logan shook his head and shoved his hands into his front pockets. "No... I came to check up on you. Are you feeling okay?" He looked concerned for her. Marie slowly looked back up to him. "Well, I'm feeling anger more than pain. Because, I can't do anything with this cast on. I can't go on any missions." She sighed, depressed. Logan sat next to her on her bed and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. "You aren't missing out on much." Marie looked at him, a little surprised that he would show that much feeling towards her. And she REALLY didn't want to hurt him. Logan smiled at her and looked into her eyes. Marie didn't know what was going on, but she didn't want it to end badly. She just looked back into his eyes, like she had never done it before. Logan slowly inched his face closer to hers, with a look of love in his eyes. Marie really wanted to kiss him back, but she couldn't, or else she would suck the life out of him. She looked away from him, turning her head to face the window. "I don't want to hurt you, Logan." She told him in a soft and caring voice. Logan stopped and shook his head, as if snapping out of a trance. "Y-You're right. I'm sorry..." He whispered to her, as he looked to the ground, foolishly. Marie sighed and watched him quietly for a few moments. "Logan... I can't like you, knowing I'll always take second place in your life." She had tears welling up in her eyes. Logan quickly looked to Marie, with a look of shock all over his face. 'Why would she think something like that?' He thought to himself. "Marie... why... what makes you think that?" He had a raised eyebrow, while looking at her still. Maried sighed and looked over his face, as if trying to find her answer there. "Whenever Jean comes to talk to you, it seems as though you push me aside." Marie looked down to her lap, sadly. Logan shook his head and continued watching her. "Marie... I would never put you in second place. Jean is great and all... but you're better. You always have been." He put on the adoreable smirk that Marie came to know and love. Marie slowly looked back up to him and smiled back to him.
Logan looked over her face a few times, but then looked up to the door, when Jean opened it up. Jean looked at the two of them and then cleared her throat. "Am I interrupting something?" Logan sighed and shook his head. "No. What's up?" Jean folded her arms and looked to Logan. "The Professor needs to talk to you." She then walked out of the room. Logan looked back to Marie and msiled a little at her. "I'll be back, okay?" Marie slowly nodded and looked out the window. Logan watched her for a few moments and then kissed the top of her head, like a friend would. He then got up and left the room. Marie stared at the door, unable to say anything at all.
