Chapter 3 : Talking helps…

Rogue and Vincent sat at home, quite relaxed on the couch, when Vincent started to talk about an event that happened a couple of months before.

"They must have really paid a lot."

"For what ?"

"Repairing the statue of liberty."

"What happened to it ?"

"Some rebels attacked it, they smashed the torch, the statues in the museum are broken, there are broken windows,…"

"Why would they attack it ?"

"Dunno, they say it's the work of mutants."

Rogue looked uncomfortable , Vincent was talking about the event on liberty island. She had partaken in the event, but Vincent didn't know that. He didn't even know she was a mutant.

She held some strong memories over to that night, including her white hair.

"Are you alright Sweetheart ?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. But why would mutants want to attack the statue of liberty ?"

"They were against that law…how did they call it again."

"The mutant registration act."

"Yeah, how did you know ?"

"I didn't agree with that law."

"Why not ?"

"It would've taken away their freedom…They couldn't go anywhere without being noticed as mutants and not as the people that they were."

"Sometimes it's better, we could have been better protected against them then."

"No, how would you feel if you would be locked away for experiments, not remembering anything of it afterwards? The same could happen to the mutants. People could use them for wrong purposes." Rogue protested.

"What do you mean ?"

"It's best that the idea has been cancelled."

"I don't agree." Vincent said

"You never agree with me about these kind of things !"

"Don't talk to me like that !"

During their fight, they had stand up from the couch. Rogue was completely unaware of Vincent's actions when he pushed her against the ground. Her head hitting the corner of the little coffee table.

Rogue got up and walked over to Vincent. She slapped him in the face and walked away, back to the school. When she entered the school, she looked in the big mirror in the hall, she saw that her head was bleeding and it didn't stop.

She walked to her room and got a wet washcloth to lay on her head. She laid herself down on her bed with the wet washcloth on her head and the remote control of her cd player in her hand.

She pushed the button play and the song of walk away from Kelly Clarkson played. Silent tears made their way down her cheek. She grabbed her cell phone. She played with it for a while until it began to rang in her hand.

She ignored it at first but after a couple of times of Vincent calling to her, she finally picked up the phone.

"Hello ?"

"Sweetheart ? How are you ?"

"Goodbye Vincent."

"Wa-."

Rogue slammed the phone down before he could anything more. She laid herself back on her bed with the washcloth that was now red from the blood when she heard a soft knock on her door. She murmured a soft "Come in" and heard Professor X wheeling in the room.

"How are you Rogue ?"

"I'm fine…"

"Are you sure ?"

"…"

"I thought so" Professor X said. "Tell me about it."

"I just hit my head, that's all."

"There's something more Rogue, something you're not telling."

"I can have my secrets too you know."

"I know, but I'm here to help you with your problems."

"I know, I'm sorry Professor."

"It's nothing Rogue, now tell me what happened."

Rogue explained the whole thing to the professor and by the time they were finished talking, the sun had just gone down. She smiled and hugged the professor before going to Jean for a check up on her head.
