Chapter 6

"Logan, Hello. I was expecting you would come back soon." Said the Professor with a huge smile on his face as he wheeled over to Logan.

"Hi, uh where is everybody?"

"In class of course, why don't you bring your luggage up to your room." Suggested the professor.

Logan stepped into his old room, put his luggage down and closed the door behind him. He walked over to his bedroom window, and watched the children in gym glass. He had missed the sound of children. He backed away from the window, laid down on his bed, and fell asleep. It was the first time in a while Logan actually enjoyed sleeping. He usually just passed out from all the alcohol and woke up next to a woman he couldn't remember from the night before. About two hours had passed when he had awoken from his nap. He took off his jacket and headed downstairs.

"LOGAN! Oh my god, how are you?" Asked Storm.

"I'm doing O.K., and you?"

"Same, we've missed you around here, I think even Scott misses you" Storm informed Logan.

"Where is Rogue?"

"I'm not quiet sure…She's doing better you know."

"Really? How", asked Logan

"She finally left her room and today during lunch I saw her shove two hamburgers down her throat, so I know she's eating again".

"Look, I'm going to go and try and find her, I'll probably see you at diner."

"Alright, seeya".

"So what are doing for the rest of the night?" ask Misty

"Well, I have about a hundred pages of homework that I have to catch up on, but otherwise I'm free. Why do you have something planned?"

"Yeah but I don't know if you'll be up to it." Teased Misty.

"Come on just tell me, I'm up for anything at this point." Replied Rogue.

" There's this club out in the city. It's said to be really wild. You could really let loose after all that time in your room."

"Yeah I guess, but I don't think I should go, I might hurt somebody and if it's really packed I could kill somebody."

" Rogue can I ask you something?" Questioned Misty

" Yeah of course."

"When was the last time you had some real fun. And I'm not talking about like going to see a movie with some friends. I'm talking about some crazy, stupid, immature, wild fun, where you don't give a shit about anything of anyone, but yourself?

"I don't think I have ever had that kind of fun before."

"Then what are you waiting for. Look I even have some clothes that are appropriate for this club that will cover you up so nobody gets hurt, O.K?"

"O.K." Rogue replied with a big smile on her face.

" Oh and Rogue can I ask you another question? You know how you were in that room for a long time, how did you ever go to the bathroom?"

Rogue completely burst out into laughter, ""I snuck out of my room when everyone was sleeping or in class and went, Is that all?" Rogue answered while still laughing.

"Yeah" Misty answered while looking deep into Rogue's eyes. The green in her eyes stood out like a candle in a cave.

Logan paced back and forth in the library trying to find the right thing to say when he sees her. It was something he never felt before. He was confused and anxious at the same time. The dream he had of her kept racing through his mind.

"Logan, what are you doing in here?" Asked Storm. She couldn't help wonder why Logan was hiding inside of the library, away from all the people who wanted to greet him and tell him how much they have missed him. What was on his mind?

"I'm just thinking."

"Well after you're done thinking, why don't you come into the lounge and say hello to everybody. I'm sure everybody is dying to see you. Especially Rogue."

Wolverine right away after hearing her name walked out of the library with Storm. They stepped into the Lounge and Logan was ambushed by all the students with their hellos and welcome backs. When Storm looked at him surround by all those children, she saw the real Logan, the Logan that is fun, playful and caring. Every since he stepped into that house she could feel tension and despair in him. But now it was all wiped away. She couldn't help but let out a giggle.

"Wow you guys got bigger since I last saw you, I think you have grown three……." Logan trailed off as he saw her standing in the background. She wasn't how he remembered her. Last time he saw her, she had a bubbly attitude and had innocent eyes. But now when he saw her, she looked empty. Her plaid shirt, ripped up pants and long tangled hair was a big change from her usual outfit. She was dead inside. Her bubbly personality was dead. Her innocent eyes hidden by a think layer of torment and hate. She was no longer Marie, just Rogue.

Rogue could feel her heart crumbling inside of her. She hated him, she hated everything about him. The thought of him made her upset, but now that she was actually looking at him she wanted to cry so badly. Finally she could no longer hold her tears in and started running up to her room.

Logan broke away from the children and began running after her. "Rogue wait, Rogue, Please!" He yelled. But it didn't do much. Rogue slammed her bedroom door in his face and turned up her music. Logan needed to talk to her, he didn't know why but he couldn't pull himself away from her door. He began banging on the door, harder and harder until finally he broke the door open.

"What the fuck do you think you are doing," Rogue screamed while Logan walked over to her CD player and turned it off. " Leave me the fuck alone Logan, I don't ever want to talk to you, I don't even know why you're back."

"I'm back for you." Logan replied at the same volume as hers.

"Back for me, back for me. You never gave a damn about me. If you did then you wouldn't have left when I needed you the most. You were the one person in this whole fucking institution that I trusted and cared for the most. And you left again. This time you didn't even say goodbye. You promised me you would take care of me. Just get out of my room."

" Rogue please," Logan begged as he grabbed her arm while she was turning away.

"Ooooowwwwww, let go" Rogue screamed in pain.

Logan looked his hand that grabbed her arm and saw blood on it that pierced through the wool cloves. He looked up at her, and grabbed her arm again, trying to pull off her glove.

"Logan let go, please don't do this." Rogue said a second too late. Logan had pulled off the entire clove and saw Rogues arm covered with cuts. One of her recent cuts had not healed all the way and was dripping blood everywhere.

Logan just froze. Fear had completely swallowed him whole. The sight of her arm made him want to vomit.

"Rogue what is this. WHAT IS THIS!" Screamed Logan as he back out of her room. He leaned against the wall supporting her door, in the hallway, and slowly slid down until he was sitting on the floor. Tears kept running down his face and no matter how hard he tried he couldn't stop them. He couldn't stop thinking, that it was his fault, it was his fault, it was his fault.

Rogue wrapped up her arm put on some new cloves and ran out of her room, desperately trying to find Misty.
