Thanks for the reviews guys, I appreciate you. Here's the next chapter
**************************************************************************** **
Logan usually took his bike up to the Canadian mountains, but this time since Scott would be coming along, they took the X van. Scott peeked at Logan and licked his dry lips before speaking.
"Um, Can I, um, talk to you, frankly," Scott stuttered. He hoped that Logan would say yes, but kind of hoped he'd say no as well.
"Go ahead kid," Logan said and put a cigar in his mouth. Scott cocked an eyebrow. "What? You don't really think I actually like chewing toothpicks?" Scott laughed a little at that.
For a few seconds his mind wandered on that morning. He had woken up early that morning, going down to the breakfast early as usual and found no Kitty. When he asked about her to Ororo, Ororo just told her that Kitty left early. Bumping into Rogue on the way out she glared at him and kept on walking, Jean had still been asleep but when he peeked in he noticed a note on her desk about another study date.
"Well, I don't get it, why is it that we can't all just be friends?" he asked aloud, coming back to the present. Receiving no answer he continued. "I mean, I tried to make everyone happy. But two people think Kitty and me are a bad idea, I just don't get it."
"You're gonna take a break this weekend Slim, you can think about it up there and than you'll figure out what's right without even meaning to," was all Logan said. Scott shrugged his shoulders and rolled down the window, allowing the cool breeze to smooth his rumbling emotions.
***
When they arrived to the mountains, Scott's jaw dropped. The site was beautiful; nothing like the heat wave New York was suffering now. It had been warm until they began to get higher above the ground. He wrapped his light jacket around himself and grabbed his things than they went into the cabin where they unpacked and got ready for the evening.
***
That night Scott stared into the fire, exhausted yet pleased. Scott had worked his butt off with all the log carrying and what not. He had even had to catch his own fish while Logan hunted in the woods. They ate some stewed deer and Italian bread that Logan had bought at the general store.
As he gazed at the flames he went over his thoughts on the three women in his life, and it all came down to one person. They had grown into each other and he didn't want to ruin that. But how could he satisfy them all while still having her in his life. He turned down the fire till it was nothing but embers and decided to turn in on the couch, since Logan was sleeping on the one bed in the one bedroom.
He fell asleep and dreamt of her.
**************************************
Jean leaned over Adam's shoulder that afternoon after school and explained the Pythagorean theory. Her mind raced with last night and how her date with Scott had been. His silence had gotten to her already and another fight had ensued.
* "Why are you being so quiet?" Jean asked, they had finished watching the movie and were now eating at a restaurant. Scott shrugged his shoulders in response. Jean's eyes narrowed. "Is this about Kitty?" she asked angrily. Scott mumbled a curse under his breath and Jean's eyes widened.
"Will you drop it?" he said nastily. Jean stood up and left the restaurant, she had waited for him outside but when he didn't come out she almost screamed angrily. She went to the car and telekinetically got it started. She left him to walk home. That night she had waited for him to come to her room and apologize. It was a long wait and that evening nor that morning did she see him again.*
Adam looked up and grabbed a hold of her hand; she rolled her eyes and looked down at him while cocking an eyebrow.
"Come on Jeanie babe, you don't really want to study do you?" he asked. Jean pulled her arm away, in all of the time she had been with Scott, cheating on him had passed through her mind only twice and that was when she had been tutoring Duncan.
"I told you that nothing was going to happen so I think you better find yourself another tutor," Jean said, she grabbed her books and made her way to the door. Adam grabbed her arm and turned her around, his face was inches from hers. He didn't touch anything but her arms.
"Are you sure you wanna leave?" he asked. Jean hesitated and her mind ran over the events of the week, without a second thought she stepped, waist deep, into trouble.
***
That evening she got home with a smile on her face. Her heart beat was erratic and she felt good to have finally gotten everything out of her system. She skipped dinner and went to her room; Ororo stepped in and smiled at her.
"The Professor has decided to let you all off for tomorrow during the danger room, so enjoy your late morning," Ororo said, she turned but something caught her eye. "Jean, did you hurt yourself?" Ororo asked and came closer to the girl; Jean stood up and immediately walked out of the room calling out an answer back.
"I pinched myself with-," the rest of the answer was cut off by the closing bathroom door. She looked into the mirror and touched the side of her neck. Proof of her discrepancy was there, and she smiled. Something different had happened, something Scott could never give her and she had liked it.
***********************************
Rogue snuck out of the house that evening, not wanting to see Kitty's face. She had not spoken to the girl since receiving that phone call from Toad in the morning and she noticed that Kitty wasn't speaking to her as well. She was either in the woods or the danger room doing who knows what.
She walked over to the park and sat down on a bench. It was so empty and so quiet that Rogue had nothing better to do than wallow in self pity. Tears ran down her face and she hugged her knees as she contemplated her ever failing love life. She didn't hear the noise and never noticed anyone was near her until he was right on top of her.
"A femme shouldn't be alone at dis time of night," the deep voice said. She looked up and gasped, than she cursed when she saw who it was.
"Ya stupid bastard, ya scared me," she half-shouted. Remy grinned and sat down beside her, that's when he noticed her wet face. He touched her wet cheeks with his bare fingers, lightly skimming over it.
"Why you cryin'?" he asked. Rogue rolled her eyes and stood up to leave.
"Mind your own business Swamp Rat," Rogue said and made her leave. Remy on the other hand wasn't thwarted. He jogged to catch up to her speedy pace and grabbed her arms, turning her around he looked into her face and with all seriousness spoke.
'He ain't worth it chere," he said. Rogue's eyes narrowed and anger consumed her.
"Don't act like you know what's goin' on in mah life!" she made her leave but Remy got the last word.
"Remy be watchin' ya chere, he knows everyt'ing," he said and Rogue resisted the urge of turning around and asking him what he knew. He had managed to do what he wanted to though; her mind was off of her current problems and lingering on him.
*************************************
Kitty curled up in her bed, she couldn't fall asleep with all the things in her head. She wanted to die right than and there. She had avoided everyone, including Scott. Her mind was a boggle of emotions. She couldn't understand where she stood. Everything was so confusing. She was fighting for their friendship, but her mind was running down different courses.
She screamed and smothered the sound with her pillow. Getting up she looked over at the empty bed that Rogue was supposed to be occupying, nothing new. Rogue had the tendency of leaving the mansion at night when she felt like being alone. Kitty stood up and made her way to the kitchen where she drank a glass of ice cold water.
That morning she had seen Scott at the bus stop again, but before he could notice her she had run into the bus. At school he had sat beside her and tried to talk to her but she had covered her lips with one finger in attempt to get him not to talk to her. Now she regretted her actions, wanting to be with him more than ever. The loneliness consumed her.
A 'bamph' shook her out of reverie. Kurt leaped over to her and began a tickle attack; she gasped and spewed the water out of her mouth in shock. Her giggles resonated in the mansion no matter how much she tried to keep them out of wraps. Kurt finally stopped and Kitty just sat on the floor holding her sides.
"The minute I catch my breath, I'ma kill you!" she said. Kurt just laughed and sat down beside her. He looked over at her and saw that her smile didn't reach her eyes.
"Vhat's vrong?" he asked. Kitty's laughter stopped and she looked over to him and shook her head.
"Nothing Kurt," she said and stood up to leave. Kurt grabbed her arm.
"Come on Kitty, I thought ve vere friends," he said. She looked over to him and sighed, than began to share everything that had happened, leaving nothing out. By the time she was done, Kurt's eyebrows reached his hairline. She almost regretted telling him what had occurred. "I understand vhy the others vould be hurt but that shouldn't stop you Kitty. Scott has never been happier," he said.
Kitty gazed at him and sighed heavily. She leaned into his side and the tears ran down her face. She felt horrible and started to cry harshly. He hugged her and waited until she had calmed down.
"It's gonna be okay," he whispered and kissed her on the forehead. They made their way upstairs to the dormitory and parted ways. Kitty stopped in front of the doorway. Rogue would have been back by that time and she didn't want to face her with swollen eyes and tears. Instead she went to another room. And there she fell asleep peacefully, after breathing him in deeply.
