Sorry for the late update. I've been getting ready for college and my work schedule does not agree with my writing time. (A/N at the bottom.)

(And also, in the last chapter I forgot to say that I do not own the lyrics to Florida Georgia Line and Bebe Rexha's "Meant to Be."

I try to put those disclaimers in so I do not face the wrath of corporate goonies.

Now onto the story…..

A FEW MONTHS LATER- XAVIER MANSION

"So, this is where it all started."

Sam stood in awe of the sight before him. "This is…."

"Awesome?" He nodded his head in reply. "I thought you'd like it, but there's more. Come on!" I grabbed his arm and pulled him inside. Once inside, we ran into Logan.

"Hey there, stranger."

"Hey, Logan." I smiled, giving him a hug. "I'd like you to meet Sam, my…"

"Let me guess. The boyfriend." He said. "Better keep him away from Warren."

I rolled my eyes. "Don't worry about him. I'll deal with it."

"Whatever you say." He replied. "Just remember that you almost strangled him the last time."

"At least I actually didn't do it, that I just thought it."

He rolled his eyes and started walking away. "Jean and Ro are outside if you're wondering."

"Thanks, Logan."

"You're welcome." He shouted.

"Let me guess," Sam said. "Warren's the ex." I nodded in reply.

"Let me introduce you to the others."

After introducing Sam to everyone, we headed inside for dinner. During dinner, Jean leaned over and whispered in my ear, "Warren needs to talk to you."

I glared at her in reply. "What is it this time?" She shrugged.

"He didn't say."

I wiped my mouth and set my napkin on the table. "Get Logan and Sam to follow. Not to close." She nodded and headed off to find them. I searched for his mind and headed towards the fountain. When I got outside, I saw him sitting on the edge of the fountain. "What, Warren?"

"How've you been?"

"You couldn't have asked me that inside?" I asked, glaring at the blond. "Probably would have saved you from getting hurt this time."

"Probably would have, but I wanted to talk to you." he replied. "Alone."

"Well, as you can see I'm perfectly fine. I'm happy, and most of my life is….good."

He gave me a questioning look. "You hesitated."

"Warren, I've had a rough few weeks. I don't know how to exactly put it." I crossed my arms. "What did you really want to ask."

"When did he happen?"

"Why does it matter?" I hissed. " It's my life not yours."

"Well, I'm sorry that I still worry for you," he replied.

"And why is that?"

"Well, there was the bodyguard and a few other…"

I chuckled. "You just HATE that I moved on, don't you?"

"I"m not the one who started dating their best friend a week after we broke up."

"That's what this is about?" I turned to him, red-faced and jaw slack. "Logan's my friend. Of course i went to him."

"More like made-out with him…" He muttered.

"It doesn't matter, Warren!" I shouted. He jumped at my outburst. I took a deep breath."We didn't expect to... But it doesn't matter, it didn't last long anyways."

"Why? Cause he found out who you really are?"

And that was when I snapped. I reached out, raising him in the air by the throat. "Shut up!" He wriggled around gasping for air.

Voices called out trying to stop me but I shut them out. Then a voice can right beside me.

"Angie, stop!" Sam shouted.

"He crossed the line."

"Maybe he did." I tearily glanced into his brown eyes. "But if you do this, what makes you any better than him?" With that, I set the winged mutant free.

Warren fell to the ground, coughing as he tried to catch his breath. "Exactly what I thought. You're a monster."

I whipped my head back towards him. "If I am, then you are too."

"That's enough!" the Professor shouted. "My office, NOW."

~:~

"Now, I think the two of you would know better than to do what you just did." the Professor barked. "Warren, you provoked her to her actions." He turned to me. "Angie, you know violence does not solve everything."

"We're sorry, Charles." Warren replied. I nodded in agreement.

"I have let this go on to long." He sighed. "I think the both of you need to understand the other's perspective. Close your eyes."

After I closed my eyes, I felt...him.

I saw the day I had left. On the balcony, he watched me drive off. He stormed back into the school towards his room. He wept for us, for the love lost. His sorrow turned to pain; and pain to anger.

My eyes shot open. I glanced over to see him staring at me, eyes wet with tears.

"I…"

I nodded. "Me too." I held my hand out to him and he took it squeezing it gently.

After our week at the School, we started driving to Stark Tower.

"So...Logan?" Sam asked.

I cringed. "Yeah….not one of my best decisions."

"What happened with you and Warren."

"We were...engaged," I replied. "That's part of why we have problems."

He nodded and silence came across the vehicle again.

"I'm sorry." I said.

"For what?"

"What I did to him." I replied, pulling my knees to my chest. "I never thought it would go that far."

"What happened?" he asked.

"You have to be more specific, babe."

"What happened for you to just lash out like that?"

I stared through the windshield and towards the road. "He hasn't forgiven me for Logan."

He furrowed his brows. "What do you mean?"

I sighed. "After I left him, I vented my anger and frustration out on Logan. I just needed him to give me a hug and tell me everything was going to be alright. One thing led to another and we ended up kissing. First couple of weeks were great. But by the third, I felt guilty and I realized that I loved Logan, but only as a friend."

"That doesn't explain Warren."

"After I cut things off with Logan, Warren found out and we argued. It ended up starting a fight between the two of them and it didn't end well." I wrapped my arms around me and continued. "That day, I told him I was leaving and never wanted to see him again. He said that was fine; he was leaving anyways."

The car pulled up to a stop light. "After that?"

"Basically what you saw that night." I replied. "Minus the telekinetic violence."

He nodded as the light turned green. "I hate to be all shrink to you right now but I have to. I think the reason you fight with him is because you still love him and you hate that you do."

I was shocked. He….hit it right on the head. There were times I almost went back to Warren, but I always stopped myself.

Sam's voice broke my thoughts. "He was your first love. You never forget them."

"The bad thing, Sam, is that I haven't forgotten any of them. Warren, Gr-the other guy. They all had their mark on my heart. That's why I-."

"Angie, I know." he interjected. "And I know that's not going to change what we have."

I turned to him, eyes red as I fought back tears. "What if it does?"

"Dammit, Angie." He said under his breath. He pulled into a motel and parked. He took a deep breath and sighed. "Does it even matter? If it does change what we have, let it be for the better. If it doesn't change, then let it still be for the better." He took my face in his hands and rested his forehead on mine. "If there is one thing I wouldn't change about this, it would be you. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. You're not getting away from me that easy."

"I…." I stammered, as I stared into his eyes. "I love you." His lips pressed against mine. I grinned against his lips. "Is that your reply?"

"I'll love you till the day I die. For better or worse, richer or poorer, sickness, health, the whole nine-yards, Ange."

"You trying to say something, Samuel?" I teased. "Proposing or something?"

He shrugged. "Not necessarily. But I'll admit I've thought of it." He took my hand in his, playing with my ring finger. "I see us with a ring on this, some kids, white picket fence and all."

"I do too. Just not right now." I pulled his face to look at me. "I see it too. I see a little girl running in the yard with her brother and me heavily pregnant. I griped at you for it too. But you smiled and said you loved me too." We laughed. I saw his face fall. "We could have that life later on, but it doesn't mean we can't start it now."

"Like now?"

"No, you handsome dummy. Let's just say…" I tapped my finger on my lips. "Engaged till a later date."

He reached into his shirt and pulled off his tags. "I know it's not a ring, but..."

I smiled in reply and pulled my hair out of the way as he placed it around my neck. "It's perfect." We leaned in for one more kiss and then we pulled out and continued our journey.

So, as I said I'm sorry for the late update. After I finish this installment and another story of mine (check out 'Carry on Wayward One' if you like Supernatural), I'm probably going to take a small break from writing.

I do not know how my school schedule is going to fit in with writing, but I will do my best to write, even if it's one-shots.

With that said, if you want to be updated on new stories that I'm writing follow and favorite me.

Thanks all, Serafina.
