Changes Chapter 14
It was already far past midnight when Jean stepped into the kitchen in the search for food. After she'd gotten herself something to eat, she sat down on a chair and thought about the unexpected reunion with Scott, which had taken place only few hours ago…
After Storm had interrupted Logan and her in the library, she had ran down the stairs to the Professor's office, unaware that Logan and Ororo followed her. Jean had thought her heart had stopped beating as she'd opened the door and saw Scott standing in front of the desk, completely undamaged and alive. She hadn't been able to move, too deep was the shock that he'd returned, too. It had appeared to Jean like a movie, she couldn't believe that it was real. Not even when Scott embraced her tightly and kissed her desperately, whispering in her ear how much he'd missed her…
Jean hadn't been able to stop him. She was unable to tell her brain to move or say something. "How?", was everything she was capable to ask, but Scott had only shaken his head and had answered "Does it matter?".
Now, while she was sitting in the kitchen, it mattered to her, in fact it mattered a lot… Not only had Logan seen the kiss, she also felt completely torn between them again. It had taken so long until she'd finally come over Scott's death and her role in it and now he was back again, causing her world to fall apart… Jean sighed. How should she tell him what happened in the past year? He wouldn't understand it…she was completely certain about it…
"Can't sleep to?"
She looked up. There he stood in the doorway, looking at her through his red glasses. It was just like before, yet completely different. She was completely different…
"No, I was hungry", Jean answered, watching him coming closer. He stopped next to her and bent forward to kiss her, when she jumped. "You wanna eat something too?", Jean asked nervously and could tell that he was frwning, even without looking at him.
Scott turned her around and looked at her, while she did her best to avoid his look. "What's wrong, Jean?", he finally asked her while he put his hands on both sides next to her, hoping that it would stop her from running off again.
"Nothing!", Jean lied and fixed her eyes on the fridge.
"Look, I don't blame you, Jean. I'd known before Alkali Lake that something was wrong with you, but…"
"I'm fine, Scott. Nothing's wrong with me…"
He took her left hand into his. "Then why are you avoiding me just now?"
"I'm…still confused, that's all…" Jean couldn't stop him from kissing her again.
"God, I missed you…", he whispered and pulled her close. "I can't tell you how much I missed you, Jean…"
Jean felt her heart racing in her chest. Him being so close felt suddenly so wrong. She wanted him to step back, to stop being near her… "Scott…"
"I was wondering", he said, still holding her tight. "I sneaked into your old room before I got here, but your stuff was gone…so I was wondering where you're staying at?"
"My room!", someone grunted from the doorway.
Jean immediately pushed Scott away when she recognized Logan who leant against the frame and watched them closely with narrowed eyes. Scott had turned around and was now facing him. "Your room?", he asked frowning. "But where are you staying at then?"
Logan folded his arms in front of his chest, his eyes fixed on Jean who looked down feeling embarrassed. "What do you think?", Logan grunted with one last look on Jean before he walked away.
Jean felt her mind and heart racing. Scott just stood there and looked at her in shock. "He's kidding right?", he asked in disbelief and stepped closer. "Tell me that he's joking!" When she didn't answer, he grabbed her hands. "Tell me, Jean!", Scott almost yelled in despair.
"Stop it…", Jean said barely audible and closed her eyes, trying to push him away.
"How can you do that?", he asked and shook his head. "How can you do that to me? To us?"
"Please…", she begged and grimaced in pain.
"Damn it, tell me, Jean! Why him?", he demanded to know desperately and shook her slightly, unaware that things began to float around and that she began to breathe heavily.
"I said stop it!", she suddenly screamed and sent him backwards against the cupboards, while the windows shattered loudly into thousand pieces. Scott watched her eyes darken and her skin becoming veined as her body began to shake violently…
