I don't even know what to say. It's been quite some time since my last update. High school really does make your life miserable.

Song of Grey Lemons: Those three little words made my day! And the gasp just made me smile.

TristeAlma: I tried to break up the scenes in a different format, but it seems that Fanfiction doesn't agree with it. Back to the X's…

Emma felt the hands of her attacker grab her face. She tried to fight back and swung her arms blindly. They missed and Emma felt her attacker's knee strike her stomach. She collapsed against the bed and knew she was completely vulnerable. Once again, she felt the hands of her attacker. Emma expected her neck to be snapped, but instead she felt nothing. Suddenly, Emma felt her energy depleting. It was painful, uncomfortable, and unnatural. It was as if someone had reached into her mind and began to remove each thought one at a time.

My mind. That's it.

Emma focused all of her telepathic energy into a powerful beam and unleashed it onto her attacker. She heard the figure fall back against the closet and scurry away. Emma felt her energy return and pulled herself up with the bed. The only thing she saw of her attacker was a streak of white in their hair.

Kitty felt a massive arm drape over her and opened her eyes. She turned her head and saw the sleeping figure of Piotr.

God, how am I going to tell him? He's going to go berserk.

Trying to relax, Kitty began to slowly inhale and exhale.

He never has to know.

Kitty felt her body tingle with excitement. She ran a hand over her stomach.

I still have time. No one has to know. I've only told one person: Logan. He won't say anything. All I need to do is get an abortion and I'm free.

Ecstatic, Kitty carefully removed herself from Piotr's arm and kissed him on the forehead.

Don't worry. I'll take care of everything.

Kitty grabbed her phone and swiftly walked towards the door. She would need to make sure she was as far away as possible from the mansion before making the call. She was absolutely sure that the clinic would be open and wanted the procedure as soon as possible. It was of vital importance.

Opening the door, Kitty almost ran into Betsy.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Betsy scowled. "You whore!"

"He kissed you?"

Jean nodded. They were both sitting on Ororo's bed. After Logan had kissed her, Jean had immediately run to Ororo. She needed some help and knew that Ororo would provide it.

"Did you kiss him back?"

"It wasn't as if I had a choice. Logan isn't the type of person to take 'no' for an answer."

"But you said it was a soft kiss?"

Jean chuckled. "When it comes to Logan, 'soft' is an overstatement."

Ororo paused before speaking. "Did you enjoy it?"

Jean was unsure of what to say. She hadn't enjoyed it, but it had been quite sensual. It made Scott's kisses pale in comparison.

"I… I don't know. I mean, I'm not saying that I was disappointed, but I'm also not saying that I was pleased by it."

Ororo sighed. "Jean, you're going to have to decide. Who's it going to be: Logan or Scott?"

"What are you saying? How can I choose Scott? He's with Emma."

"So then it's simple. Be with Logan. He's not going to leave you for some bimbo."

Jean got off the bed. "Why can't you accept the fact that I was the reason that Scott and Emma are together?"

"Because I know that you didn't want to do it. Whatever you did was out of compassion for the rest of us. Without Scott having Emma to distract him from your death, the X-Men wouldn't have lasted for a day."

Jean sighed. "It's not that simple. Scott really does love Emma. She makes him happy."

Ororo rose off of the bed. "Does that make you happy?"

Jean waited a few seconds before answering. "Yes, it does."

"So then why not increase that happiness? If Scott being with Emma makes you happy, then surely you being with Logan would make Scott happy."

"That's not going to happen. Scott and Logan are like day and night. If Scott saw me with Logan, he would-"

"He would do what? God, Jean. You have to stop living your life as if Scott is still a part of it. He's moved on. So should you."

Jean didn't say anything.

"It's not that difficult, Jean. All you need to do is go downstairs and tell Logan that you're ready. Tell him you love him."

"I can't!"

Ororo was stunned. She had never expected Jean to say that.

"Why can't you?"

"Because I still love Scott. I know that I always tell you that I'm glad for him and Emma, but I'm not. I can't stand to see him with her. I don't want to be jealous, but I can't help it."

Ororo walked towards Jean. "So you're just going to continue to punish Logan?"

"Punish?"

"Exactly. Logan has been yearning to be with you ever since he joined the X-Men. At first, he couldn't be with you because of Scott and that was fine. But now, Scott is with Emma and he still can't be with you. When are you going to finally open your eyes and realize that a relationship with Scott is never going to happen?"

Jean looked away. She didn't want to admit it, but she knew Ororo was right. It wasn't fair to Logan. But even then, no one but Jean had a right to make the choice.

"You may be right, Ororo, but that doesn't give you the right to tell me who I should and shouldn't love."

"I wouldn't have to if you would make up your mind."

"Excuse me?"

"Until you make your choice, you will never be free from the criticism of everyone else. They all know how Logan feels about you and they also know how you always reject him. It's not surprising that they call you a bitch."

Jean felt the blood rush to her cheeks.

"Who the hell do you think you are? If I decide to be with Logan, then I will. If not, then so be it."

"No, it's not that simple. I am not going to let you sit back and fantasize about Scott while Logan continues to wait for the day when you return his love."

"What are you going to do?" Jean sneered.

Ororo smirked. "Either you tell Logan you love him or I'm going to end his misery."

"What?" Jean was confused.

Ororo's eyes turned white. "I'm going to kill him."
