Chapter 6: Cracks
Jean sat in her room. Staring blankly at the chipping paint on the wall. The cracks almost seemed to make the shape of a heart.
She laid her hand upon her own heart. It seemed to also have cracks.
How could Taryn take my Scott?She traced her fingers across the cracks in the paint.
Argh! Not my Scott…well not yet.
Her finger stopped in the midst of circling the heart again.
Not everA crystal clear tear ran down her cheek, making even more crackly lines down her face.
Her life seemed to be full of cracks. Nothing ever seemed to go right.
Not having mutant powers.
Not being abandoned by her parents.
Not being able to be with Scott, the only one she truly ever loved.
But that's the question. Is it love or loved? I don't know. It's all Taryn's fault.
But is it really? I mean, had I not gone out with Duncan, I might have had a chance with Scott.
Why is life so fricken difficult?
Why is my life so difficult?
Jean stared at the cracks again.
My life is only difficult cause that's the way I make it.
She pushed her chair out, wiped her face with her sleeve and opened her bedroom door.
She ran down the stairs.
Come on Scott, be there, be there, be there, be…
"Be where?" Jean ran straight into Scott, who stood at the bottom of the stairs.
I guess I was wishing a little too loud.
"Oh my God Scott." She wrapped her arms around him tight.
He lifted her chin up and saw the tear tracks that led down her face.
"Jean what's the matter?" He looked into her green eyes, she into his visor.
She looked over his shoulder.
"Scott I have something to tell you."
He brushed her hair away from her face.
"What is it Jean?"
She looked up at him.
"Not here…" she pulled him towards the library, her favourite room. Famous for being empty.
She plonked down on one of the chairs, pulling Scott down with her.
"Oh Scott, I'm so sorry." Another tear formed in her eye.
"What Jean? You know you can tell me." He took hold of her hand.
Jean took in a deep breath.
"It's Taryn…"
Oh no what has Taryn done to Jean? I hope she hasn't hurt her.
She took in another deep breath and swallowed.
"I saw her…"
"Come on Jean, tell me. What did she do?" Scott held her hand tighter.
"I saw Taryn with Duncan."
"And?" Scott looked at her confused.
"You're not upset by this?" Jean gasped.
"By what Jean? You haven't told me anything."
"TARYN IS CHEATING ON YOU!" she yelled frustrated.
She fell into his arms.
"I'm so sorry Scott."
Scott lifted her up so they met eye to eye.
"Jean, I broke up with Taryn this afternoon."
"What?" Jean burst out, now the one who was confused.
Scott held onto her shoulders.
"I. Broke. Up. With. Taryn."
"But she said that she had you and Duncan and…"
"Don't listen to her Red. She doesn't know what she's talking about."
Scott wiped the tear from her cheek.
"I couldn't be with her anymore. She was so…frustrating. And when you broke up with Duncan I had no reason to be with her anymore…"
Scott gulped.
Please tell me she didn't hear that.
Jean looked up at him again.
"What do you mean by that?"
"By what?"
She sat up straight.
"Why didn't you have a reason to be with Taryn since I broke up with Duncan?"
"I…I didn't say…that." Scott could tell she didn't believe him.
"Would you rather I read your mind?" She brought her hands to her temples.
Scott pulled her hands down with his.
"Nah I think you'd rather not."
Jean stood up and placed her hands on her hips.
"Tell me what you mean Mr. Summers."
Scott felt his heart skip a beat.
She looks so cute when she's angry.
"Scott, tell me. You know you can tell me." She smiled.
"Hey that's not fair." He stood up to meet her height.
He placed his hands around her waist.
Jean gasped but threw her arms around her neck.
Jean suddenly had an idea.
xX This goes to all the couples out there Xx
Jean laughed as she became her own telepathic DJ.
Through their link, they'd forged when they were younger, Jean began playing a song she'd come to like and appreciate.
xX Let me cater to you cause baby this is your day, do anything for my man, baby you blow me away.
I got your slippers, your dinner, your dessert and so much more.
Anything you want let me cater to you, inspired me from the heart can't nothing tear us apart, you all I want in a man. I put my life in your hands.
I got your slippers, your dinner, your dessert and so much more.
Anything you want I wanna cater to you. Xx
They swayed to the song, each lost in their own world. Each a world, that only included the other in their arms.
Jean slowed down and released her grip around his neck.
"Scott?"
"Hmm?" Still lost in his world Scott held onto Jean dancing to non-existent music.
"What did you wanna tell me?" She wrapped her arms around his neck again.
"Jean…I love you, I always have." He felt as if a great weight had been lifted off his shoulders.
"Ever since I heard your voice, saw your face. You've been the hope in my life. I couldn't survive without you Jean."
He closed his eyes.
Jean stared at his face, she kept swaying with him. He had always been what she wished for in life. Someone to trust. Someone there for her. Someone to love. He was always the light at the end of her tunnel.
Unaware to him Jean leaned in close and met his lips with hers. He didn't respond for several seconds, but when he did the kiss exploded with warmth and…love. Jean gasped. Scott looked into her eyes.
She looked into her heart and found something she knew would only happen once ever in her lifetime. Scott was her one and only. The one meant for her.
Jean leaned in again and parted his lips with her tongue.
xX I love you Scott. Always have, always will. Xx
XxxxXXXXxxxX
A/N: There we go! They're together. I know most of you were waiting for this but remember there's still more to this story! I have many more chapters in mind for this fic!
Hope you liked this chapter! Ooh yeah that song Jean was telepathically singing was 'Cater to You' by Destiny's Child. I love that song at the moment and the lyrics are sitting right in front of me! And I don't own it!
They're finally together. You know you wanna review. Tell how much you hate me cause now Scott isn't single. Whatever, I don't mind as long as you tell me what you think!
If you hear the word 'Review' during the night, it's cause I've come to your house and I am whispering it through the window. If you then hear a loud bang, I've either fallen off a ladder or the tree branch broke from under me, just call the ambulance!
