Stupid me! I've had this chapter written for ages and I haven't posted it! I'm sorry everyone! I swear I'll update frequently. If I don't, I'm sure angeldeathdealer will prod me until I do.
Wrong Side of Wrong
Chapter 6
Rogue collapsed into a seat in the food court and tiredly rubbed her ankles.
"Last time I come shopping with you for a while." She murmured "Though with the amount we got today, ah don't think ah'll need ANYTHING for ages!"
"Don't say that Rogue." Jubilee replied cheerily, dropping into a chair beside her friend and placing a new stick of gum into her mouth "After you've had the baby, Kit' 'ill want to bring you shopping for clothes that'll fit you again."
"She won't want to come." Rogue said slyly, eyeing the preppy girl across the table "I want some nice, dark clothes." Kitty rolled her eyes, and looked pointedly at Jubilee.
"Jubes." She said bluntly "Why don't you go and get us some food?"
"What if I refuse?" Jubilee replied teasingly
"Then ah rip ya head off personally, sugah." Rogue said sweetly, "Ah really want a burger."
"Greasy foods ain't good for your baby." Jubilee said, Rogue gave her a glare
"Get me the damn burger, sugah." She growled lightly "Me and mah baby don't give a damn about how unhealthy it is. We just want a burger!" Jubilee leapt up from her chair, dancing out of the way of Marie's gloved hands as they attempted to throttle her, and nodded
"So that's a burger for Rogue and the baby." She stated, pretending to scrawl the information down on her hand "Kit', you can have fries and that'll be that. And I'll have whatever the hell I want." She pretended to tuck a pen behind her ear and smiled, cracking her gum, before spinning on her heel and walking off.
"Rogue." Kitty whispered, leaning over the table and looking into her friends eyes "I wanna say, I'm so sorry." Marie raised an eyebrow, confused about what Kitty was saying
"Why?" she asked "What do you mean sugah?"
"Before you… took the 'cure'." Kitty started unsurely "After Professor Xavier…" she trailed off and shook her head to clear away the tears "Bobby came into my room, 'cause I was upset. I told him that I missed home and everything. And he took me out onto the pond, froze it and we went skating." Marie nodded, remembering the moment and the smiles on the face of her best friend and ex-boyfriend, it was what had finally helped her decide she wanted to take the cure, she wanted to be able to enjoy herself like her friends were, without fear that she'd hurt someone
"Go on, sugah." She said quietly
"I want you to know, that I never thought of him as anything but a friend, even if what he did was really sweet. And then, when you went, to have the cure. He came to see me again, he was kinda making a habit of coming to see me when I was upset, and I was 'cause you had left. But he came in, and he talked to me, told me that you'd be back soon, he knew you would 'cause you wouldn't desert your friends like that without saying goodbye. And then… and then he kissed me." She was rambling now, tears running down her face "And I promise you, I pushed him away, I could have killed him. I told him he was being unfaithful to you. And I thought it was just 'cause he was upset, like I was, and was looking for comfort, so I told him I wouldn't tell you what he'd done. I swear, I thought it was just a one off thing, seriously, I could have punched him…"
"You did." A voice sailed over, and the two looked up to see Jubilee standing behind them, with a serious smile on her face "He had a bruise on his chest for weeks, kept on telling everyone it was from the battle."
"So Jubes," Rogue replied, turning to Jubilee for a moment. "Where's the food?" Jubilee grinned, scuttling off again. Marie turned back to Kitty, grabbing one of her friend's hands and smiling gently
"Kit." She said gently "Ah ain't gonna blame you for anything, ah swear. You didn't want him to do anything, and you told him where to go afterwards. The only problem is that he has no brains, he didn't listen to ya and went off with Emma." She spat the name out with distaste and scowled "Ah ain't ever gonna get mad at you sugah, you're my best friend." They were silent for several minutes
"You don't like him, do ya?" Marie asked Kitty eventually
"Bobby?" Kitty choked "After what he did to you? Rogue, he's vermin to me. He's been vermin ever since he tried to kiss me."
"Besides." A voice came from beside them again "She's going out with Piotr!"
"Jubes!" the two girls screamed together, Kitty going red with embarrassment
"Chill! Rogue." Jubilee laughed, sliding into her seat and putting the food on the table "I got your food." Marie grinned, diving at the burger.
"So Kitty." She said after several bites "How long have you been with Piotr?"
"That's not the question, Rogue." Jubilee butted in "What we all want to know is, is he good in bed?" Kitty shrieked, grabbing several fries and throwing them at her Asian friend. The three girls burst out laughing.
