Thorns on Roses

Chapter 2
Alex's Pov
I can't believe Scott was able to drag me and Rogue into this. Rogue and I aren't good with recruiting people especially girls. I mean sure if the girl is hot I might want her at the mansion, but you never know. When Rogue, Scott, and I got in the club which was packed with people I heard the last bit of the song "Hot and Cold" when I heard some guy say "And now put your hands together for our featured singer Rose Morgan." The audience clapped and whistled and all sorts of things until the girl started singing a song I hadn't heard before.
"The song is "Fearless" by Taylor Swift," whispered Rogue to me. I don't even want to know how Rogue knew I hadn't heard the song before, but soon Scott motioned for us to come with him. We walked back stage which didn't have security (bad idea) and went looking for someone.
"Who are we looking for anyways?" I asked. Rogue's nod meant she agreed.
"We're looking for Rose Morgan's mirror since she's the mutant cerebro picked up," said Scott.
Man I thought how can Scott explain this stuff and still sound human. My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of water dripping. All of us walked forward to see a girl sitting in front of her mirror crying silently. My heart instantly went out to the girl.
"Rose Morgan?" asked Scott. The girl whipped around and tried to lash out but was stopped by a hand reaching out to her,
"Matt," the girl whispered. The boy was at least 6'4 same as her, had blue eyes and had light black hair.
"Don't Rose," said the boy now identified as Matt. The girl hugged him.
"Please don't go," she whispered.
"I have to," he said and with that he left. I felt bad as I watched the girl cry, she looked so vulnerable and fragile.
"Rose, are you okay?" asked Rogue. This was strange Rogue never felt empathy for anyone except Scott.
"I will be," said the girl.
"Are you Rose Morgan?" I asked Scott nudged me hard in the ribs; the girl smiled a little which made my stomach do flips.
"Yeah I'm Rose," I said.
