Lies and Truths: Which is Better?
The next morning, Rogue woke up most the same. In Warren's arms. Safe. She buried her face in his bare chest and closed her eyes, hoping to never wake up from the dream. It simply had to be a dream.
"Good morning," a stern voice said from the foot of the bed. Rogue jumped, and accidentally woke Warren.
"Oh, Hey Storm," Rogue said: still dreary from sleep.
"We need to speak."
Rogue got out of the bed and quietly followed Storm out of the clinic.
"Now Rogue, I think it's getting a bit too far in there. Sleeping together…only half-clothed."
"Oh, C'mon, Storm, he has not shirt. No biggie. It's not like I'm naked, I'm fully clothed, nothings gonna happen. And why don't you stop watching my sexual activity and start watching Bobby's."
"That's the other thing we need to speak about," Storm sighed, "Have you seen his face? There's a big bruise on one of his cheeks."
"Maybe Kitty got violent in bed and gave it to him," Rogue hissed angrily.
"Funny you should bring up Ms. Pryde. She has an identical one on her cheek," Storm said stiffly.
"Point?" Rogue said.
"They claim that you gave it to them, and that all they were doing was studying together."
"Studying?" Rogue growled, "Yeah, maybe the human body of the opposite sex, other then that they aren't getting any work done."
"I'm going to have to ask you to sleep in your own bed, Rogue," Storm sighed, "Bobby says you've been doing lots of things with Warren. And I'm not exactly sure I like what he's told me."
"What? That bastard!" Rogue snapped.
"Language, young lady," Storm interrupted.
"That selfish dumbass cheated on me with that…skank, and you get mad at me?" Rogue screamed, "What the hell is wrong with you?"
"Excuse me!" Storm shouted, "Use that language again and I swear…"
"You'll what?" Rogue muttered, "Kill me? Well go ahead, that's exactly why I was trying to jump off the roof in the first place…"
"I thought you…fell," Storm stuttered.
"Yeah, I did, after Warren stopped me from jumping, and Bobby pushed me."
"I wasn't aware that…" Storm trailed.
"Yeah, there's a lot of things you aren't aware of," Rogue headed back to the clinic, "Like how to leave a girl the fuck alone." She slammed the door behind her and raced to Warren's side, unable to hold back tears.
"Rogue…" he whispered, pulling her tightly against his chest, cradling her in his arms.
"I hate him, Warren, I hate him so much," Rogue sobbed, "I was in love with that…asshole."
"C'mon," Warren whispered, "Don't cry, sweetie, don't cry." He held her close, "He isn't worth it."
"He told Storm these lies and he…cheated on me with that…whore."
"I'm sorry," Warren said quietly.
"Warren?" Rogue wiped her tears, and looked up at him, gently running a finger along his jaw line.
"Yeah…" he smiled.
Rogue put her head back to his stomach, as he wrapped his arms around her, "I love you."
Warren didn't say anything for a second. Then he leaned and kissed her on her head, "I love you, too."
