"There you are, ve've been vaiting for you since this morning," Kurt
said. He sent a glare at Jean who looked to be at the point of hysteria.
"Scott we found out yesterday-."
"Scott don't listen to him-." Jean said at the same time. Kitty and Rogue jumped in and Scott was surrounded by chaos as everyone spoke at the same time. All he picked up was the word 'cheating'. The heat that started at the base of his neck and made its way down his spine was proof that things were going to get worst when he understood what was going on.
"Everyone shut up! Kurt what are you saying?" he asked. Kurt must have lost his nerve because he closed his eyes and looked away in uneasily.
"Yesterday I vas going to the bathroom vhen Jean came out in a towel and I saw some bruises on her neck, when I looked closer they veren't bruises at all," he mumbled clearly. Scott looked at Jeans turtle neck. It wasn't easy for him to swallow.
"That isn't true Scott! I don't know why they're saying that!" she cried out. Scott's eyes narrowed behind the lenses and his brows furrowed. Jean didn't need to read his mind to know that she was messed up.
"You said that someone was lying. How would you possibly know what they were going to tell me, unless it was true?" he said quietly. She opened her mouth but nothing came out. She didn't know what to say. Genuine tears rolled down her face as she realized the hopeless situation. "Let's go," he said and she followed him to his bedroom, since it was closest.
"Take it off," he said to her. Her eyes grew wide and she put her hands in front of her as if to ward him off.
"I shouldn't have to prove anything to you!" she said.
"Take it off Jean! Or I do it for you!" he repeated. Jean had never seen him that way and when she peeked into head, she saw murder. She turned around and pulled the sweater over her head.
Scott's eyes filled with tears he didn't want to shed though they spilled over the bottom lids and left droplets against his glasses. Her back was full of red marks, scratches and bites. He didn't say anything as he stood there and stared at her trembling body. She turned around, her hair a mess after pulling the tight sweater over her head. Her tears left furrows against her pale cheeks.
"Get out of my room," he said and went to his bed and sat down. She made her way to him, opened her mouth to speak but he looked up and shouted. "GET OUT!" Jean grabbed her sweater and pulled it over her head. She made her way out of the room and towards hers. She looked over at Kurt, Kitty and Rogue who glared daggers and made plans to visit her parents for the summer till everything blew over.
***
Kitty was about to make her way towards Scott when Kurt grabbed her arm.
"Give him some time," he said. Kitty nodded and made her way to her room. Rogue followed her and felt bad. Kitty looked more depressed than she had before. Rogue hesitated before putting her arm around Kitty when they entered their room. Kitty sobbed into her covered shoulder, and Rogue awkwardly gave her comfort.
"Maybe it was a mistake telling him about Jean. I mean he loves her," she said. Rogue shook her head though Kitty didn't see it.
"He had to be told. If we care about him then we should protect him," Rogue said. Kitty looked up into the girl's face and a little smile appeared on her lips.
"I didn't know you were a softy," she said through tears. Rogue's smile was small but genuine. They made their way to their respective beds and lay down towards each other.
"What do you think he's going to do?" Kitty asked. Rogue shrugged.
"Take her back I suppose after she swears she won't do it again," she said sadly. Kitty sat up immediately and glared a little. Rogue rolled her eyes. "It wouldn't be the first time Kit."
Kitty lay back down, her body exhausted emotionally. She didn't realize she had fallen asleep until she was awakened for dinner time. Everything was normal at the dinner table aside from Jean and Scott's absence and the silence between Kitty and Kurt. Kitty thought over Rogue's words and wondered if Scott and Jean were upstairs 'making up'. A sob almost broke out and she closed her eyes for a second to hold back the tears.
She went to take a shower and on impulse made her way to Scott's room. Jean was just leaving when she bumped into Kitty with a red nose.
"Don't bother, he isn't there," she said and went to her room. Kitty on the other hand checked but apparently Jean's statement was true and she went to her room to grab a jacket and find him where she suspected he would be.
***
Kitty saw a black figure sitting on the edge of the stream, the water caressing their legs. She quietly took off her jacket and her shoes. Sitting by him she rolled up her jeans and joined him on the grass.
"I did everything I could to make her happy." He said, avoiding her gaze, "Everything for nothing. The second I turn my back and she jumps on the next person. I don't understand. I had to work hard to get her and easily she slips away. What's wrong with me?" he asked and finally turned to her. Kitty licked her lips and grabbed his face with her hands.
"There is nothing wrong with you. She cheated on you, she let you down," Kitty emphasized. It felt like rubbing salt on a wound but she needed to get it in his head that it wasn't him. "She's crazy to have done that. If it were me, I'd do anything to make sure you stay with me forever."
At first Scott thought she was being melodramatic and almost smiled until he saw the sincerity in her eyes. He wished he could see the colors of her face, but he could only imagine them. He couldn't have predicted what happened next. He licked his lips and drew her to him. His mouth found hers and he did what he had wanted to do for a long time. Her warmth caused him to lose his mind for a second and he pushed her lightly to the floor where she wrapped her leg around his waist.
Kitty's brain was going haywire, she thought of nothing but his weight and the pressure of his mouth and the bouts of emotion sweeping through her. When he pulled away, her lips sought him again but he resisted the urge to kiss her again.
"I'm sorry Kitty," he said. Kitty was about to tell him not to be, about to tell him that she wanted this but he continued before she could open her mouth. "I guess I'm on the rebound."
The moment shattered like fine glass, she felt the glass scrape her heart and cause it to bleed. Her body filled with pain so excruciating that she wasn't able to speak for a second.
"I know," was the lie that came out of her mouth, and it was as if someone else were speaking. They stood up and he held her hand while they made their way to the house. She smiled at him and hugged him, dutifully, before going to her bedroom where she lay down on her bed and sobbed, her tears drenching her pillow until she fell into a fatigued sleep.
Scott covered his face with a sheet and pushed himself into sleep. At that moment he hated every fiber of his being. He hated everything he was, and all because he lied about the one thing that seemed right at this point in his life. ************************************************************************** *sigh* I'm so sorry about the wake. Are you all still there? I have no idea. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. Review please. Love you all, read 'RoadTrip!' by 'ScitzyJadedCookieChaos' it's about four O.C.s, Rogue, a few acolytes, a few good guys, and all the chaos that occurs when your roaming the U.S.A unsupervised with an animal (*Logan* *cough*) trying to track you down. Anyway, I miss you! *hugs!*
