Rouge awoke the next morning, well by time she woke up it was actually afternoon. She got in late last night and quite frankly didn't mind the extra hours of sleep. She lazily put on some clothes and headed down to the main kitchen for some breakfast. As she began to eat her scrambled eggs she saw Bobby in the corner of her eye. She got up quickly and started to walk out of the room, but not before he saw her, he started to run towards her and she started to pace faster. She was not about to talk to him now, not after the incident from last night, but it was too late he caught up to her and cornered her. "Rouge I need to talk to you..."

"Well I don't need to talk to you" she said back to him fiercely. He gave her that look that meant that he was truly sorry. She wouldn't let him win this one. He took her hand, she failed to move it away from his firm grip. "I wasn't my self last night Rouge" he said sadly. "You got that right buddy!" she scoffed. He smiled sheepishly. "I'm sick of this Bobby, I'm sick of your hurtful words and your mean glares, when your drunk, it's like I don't even know you !" She said with a tremble in her voice. She quietly leaned into him and he took her in his arms and kissed her on the cheek. She quickly glanced around the kitchen and found John staring at her, he rolled his eyes and went back to eating his fruit-loops with a harsh look on his face. "She forgave him again !" He thought to himself as he tried hard to concentrate on his cereal. It was official Bobby and Rouge made up again. The next whole week they were inseparable and Bobby was in good mood for once in a long time, but still she couldn't get this weird feeling out of her heart, like what she was living was fake, and her and Bobby really weren't as people perceived them to be. Two weeks after she and Bobby had got back together, she was heading back to her dormitory when somebody grabbed her from behind, she laughed thinking that it was Bobby. "Bobby stop being such a jack ass and let me go !" she said with a smile on her face, when "Bobby" didn't answer she turned around to see John. Her heart stopped, she hadn't talked to him since the day she got back together with Bobby. "Hi Rouge" he said sheepishly. She looked at him and finally spoke "What are you doing here, it's almost 2:00 in the morning !" she said quietly. " I know you don't love Bobby, I can see it in your eyes, most of the time you don't even look at him, you might seem to some people as happy with him, but I know the real you and I know that your not happy." He said back to her. He took her hand in his and it took her a moment to notice that she didn't have her gloves on ! She pulled her hand away quickly. "You can't hurt me Rouge, the warmth of the fire that I can manipulate reflects your power." he said matter of factly. "I don't want to hurt you." She said like she always used to say to Bobby. "You won't" John whispered in her ear. He put his hand on her back and leaned into her, she didn't stop him, he placed his lips on hers. His lips felt warm not like Bobby's who always felt like palcing a piece of ice on your lip. No this felt different, like nothing Rouge had ever felt before, like placing a warm mug filled with tea on your lips . She didn't want to let go, and surprisingly it didn't hurt him. They stood there for a good full minute. Rouge couldn't do anything but look at him, with those beautiful brown eyes, he looked at her and smiled. "How can anyone not love you" he whispered. He hugged her tightly for another good minute, and the softly kissed her forehead again. Then he turned around and walked back to his dorm room. Rouge quickly walked into hers. "What just happened !" She said out loud to herself.

"I'd like to ask you the same question..."

Rouge turned around to find...
