What He Always Wanted
Written by Ashleigh.
I'm guessing you're sick of my excuses for updating late but it's nearly Christmas and I've got my first part-time job…and I still don't know what to buy my mum for Christmas!
Disclaimer: I'm just going to laugh at your inane idea that I might possibly own the X-Men…then sigh because there's no chance it'll ever come true.
Summary: Scott has yearned for Jean his whole life but when he finally gets her is she what he always wanted? JOTT of course!
Jean and Scott are perfect for each other… or are they? --------thought

To everyone who reviewed I love you all! I'm not going to thank-you here (though I'd really love too) because we're supposedly not allowed! Thanks again! Hope you like this chapter!
Chapter 12: Why Am I Here?
Why am I here? Scott thought to himself
I should be back at the mansion with Jean…XxxxXXXXxxxX
Why am I here? Jean questioned herself desperately.
I shouldn't have run away from Scott back at the mansion.
XxxxXXXXxxxXHis feet padded at the soft ground. The darkness surrounded every inch ahead of him though the light behind him grew further away with every step.
"TARYN," he called out.
His feet picked up speed.
"TARYN, WHERE ARE YOU?" He screamed. He stopped in front of the door to the butterfly enclosure.
He felt memories flooding his mind from past times where he was stood exactly in…
…this spot
Christmas Eve- 10 Years Ago (let's make them 7 years old)Snow fell across the misshaped bricks that surrounded the area of the butterfly enclosure. Jean's cheeks shone a bright red, nearly the same colour as (not her hair) Scott's glasses. He stood beside her, in front of the door to the enclosure, in a red jacket, blue scarf, and brown pants.
Jean laughed.
"I can't get over your lack of colour skills!" She laughed again and pulled her purple scarf tighter around her neck.
"You'd rather I not wear the glasses?" He sighed.
"I was just joking Scott, don't take everything so hard." She hugged him and pulled him closer to the door.
His feet paused at the entrance.
"Come on Scott," Jean frowned.
Scott stood still as Jean circled him, puzzled.
"You're not scared of butterflies are you?" She tried to keep her laughs to herself.
"If I tell you, you won't like me anymore," His head sunk and his eyes searched the concrete floor.
Jean lifted his chin with her finger until her nose nearly touched his.
"Don't you ever think that, no matter what you do or say I'll always be right here."
She took his hand in hers and led him into the butterfly enclosure.
End of FlashbackScott sighed. His hand felt empty.
XxxxXXXXxxxXJean pulled again at the shackles binding her arms and legs to the metal table beneath her.
"WHO ARE YOU AND WHY AM I HERE?" She screamed into the nothingness of the facility surrounding her. She lifted her head and slammed it back against the hard, cold metal in desperation. Tears streamed from her eyes.
"Why am I here?" She sobbed.
The one light above her shone down upon her body.
Jean slowly closed her eyes; tears still ran down her cheeks, yet a small smile appeared on her face.
Scott, how I wish you were still by my side.
XxxxXXXXxxxXScott sat limp on the red bricks where snow had once fallen ten years ago. He stood up and pushed hard on the door to the butterfly enclosure. He forced it open and pushed aside the plastic flaps into the small garden.
Scott holding Jean's hand…Scott walked alone deeper into the warmth of the enclosure.
He pulled off his black jacket and slung it across his arm.
Jean holding a butterfly out towards Scott…The butterflies encircled him, fluttering as if it was still 10 years ago.
Jean laughing with a butterfly on her nose…Scott sat down on the floor and sighed.
"Why am I here? Why have these memories brought me here? What am I missing out on? What could've been?"
Scott didn't expect answers, not even from himself.
He felt a slight pain at the back of his neck. His hand flew to the source of the pain.
Just then, everything went fuzzy.
A recognisable face filled his view.
"Hi, dear!"
"Taryn?"
"I knew you'd remember me!" She smiled and everything went black.

This chapter was a little short but I needed to get something out there…hope you liked it! Ooh yeah and if anyone didn't realise what the whole underlined thingy was eg. Jean holding a butterfly out towards Scott… they're small flashback scenes, to show the difference ten years can make! Anyway, I'll try and get another chapter out soon but don't hold your breath! If you review, it might come out quicker!
159 days until X-Men 3 comes out in Australia!
