Read on...
Previously...
"I saw you kissing Rogue when we were at your house, before your brother called the police. You promised me you were leaving her, but you still chose her over me. I chose the Brotherhood so I wouldn't have to put up with this... the pain of being so close to having what I want, but never getting it."
"John," I felt his cool hand touch my face as he turned my head to look at him. "I wasn't thinking clearly, I had no idea what was going through my mind then... I love you John."
Chapter 2
Whispers had been following me nearly all week and all morning, not that they weren't expected, I mean I was after all the big bad Pyro of the brotherhood second in command after Mystique. Of course I'm no longer the big bad Pyro I was, now that I lacked the control of my powers. Of course, no one knew my real reason for being at the mansion and I wanted to keep it that way.
Being a weekend, there were no lessons for any of the students, meaning if I wanted to get away from the whispers I needed to find cover outside. Sitting under the tree I had sat in the other day to talk to Logan gave me a perfect view of the grounds and the lake, it's just a shame that Drake and Marie were out here as well to ruin it for me. So much for loving me, we shared that kiss the other night and he hasn't even talked to me since then, or even acknowledged me.
Becoming aware of the clicking sound caused by the flicking open of my lighter and then closing it, I looked down at it and laughed to myself. Robert Drake, the perfect son and student and everything else he could be perfect at, wouldn't choose something that would ruin his perfect reputation. I shook my head pitifully as I got up, I decided a walk around the lake would help... the water may not be my favourite element but I can't deny the soothing effect it had on me.
"Hi John," I scowled slightly as she spoke in the southern drawl which irritated me so much, I turned to face her struggling to wipe the scowl off and replace it with a smirk.
"Hey Rogue," I replied boredom in my tone covering that hate and anger
"It's Marie," she said, correcting me.
"Whatever."
"So where are you of to? You wanna stay here with me and Bobby?"
"For a walk... And no thanks; I'll leave you two alone." I felt my face crease with anger as I turned to face Drake, my face becoming a smirk again as I turned back to Marie.
"We don't mind, do we Bobby?"
"That's quite alright Marie, if I were in your shoes I would want to be alone with Bobby. He's a great guy, congratulations on keeping him, he chose you over others he could have been more intimate with."
"Thanks... I guess," Marie said as she looked at Bobby and then back at me smiling slightly, "We'll see ya later."
"Not if I see you first," I whispered as I turned round and sauntered off in the direction of the Lake

"C'mon John, remember your basic training." Miss Munroe voice rang through the Danger Room as she spoke through the microphone in the control room.
"You try mastering your powers all over again after getting brain damage from a Popsicle." I smiled slightly as her happy laughter ran through the room.
"Well I can't say I don't envy you John, to have your powers restricted like you do would be a Godsend for me, one slip of control and I could cause torrential rain fall in Arizona."
"I suppose that's one way of making my inability to create fire a benefit." I muttered
"Well imagine how much trouble you would currently be in if you were able to create fire."
"I suppose..." My head flicked away from the flame in front of me as the door to the Danger Room opened.
"I'm going to let you go early today as I have something else to attend to, normally I would arrange around these sessions but I haven't had chance to yet. I hope you understand.
"Well my appearance was hardly expected." I said out loud as I walked out of the door, Miss Munroe's laughter following me out into the hall.

I picked the towel up off of the floor and wrapped it tightly round my waist, my slightly higher than average body heat causing the droplets of water to literally disappear from my skin. I walked over to the mirror above the sink and looked at my reflection, I hate to admit it but the mansion was a lot better than living rough. I heard a knock on the bedroom door, and so walked over to the door separating the bathroom from my bedroom.
"Who is it?" I shouted as I opened the door, and poked my head out through the crack.
"It's me... Bobby." He shouted through the door
"I'm in the bathroom, let yourself in," I shouted my shoulders slumping slightly, the bedroom door opened as I closed the bathroom door; I heard footsteps approach the door and stop on the other side.
"What was all that about today?"
"What was what?" I asked as I put my toothbrush in my mouth and began scrubbing away all the sugar and stuff that had gathered during the day.
"The whole Bobby's a good guy, congratulations on keeping him, he chose you over others." I laughed to myself as I continued brushing my teeth; of course he wouldn't have picked up on it he was too busy trying to ignore me to get the message I was trying to give to him. I spat the paste out of my mouth, gargling with some water before responding.
"I told you I'm not waiting around again, I'm not going to sit around and watch you with Marie waiting for you to dump her like you said you would last time. You didn't do it then and you're not going to do it now, I'm not going to be your bit on the side... not again."
"But I love you John, you not Marie." I walked to the bathroom door and opened it, coming face to face with Bobby.
"If you love me Bobby, you wouldn't have ignored me pretty much all week since we last talked, if you loved me and not her you would be spending your time with me." I paused as I watched Bobby's gaze move downy my body and towards the towel wrapped around my waist. "Look at my face when I'm talking to you."
"Sorry," he said smiling slightly as his gaze returned to my face, "What did you say?"
"If you truly loved me you would listen to me when I'm talking and not get distracted by my body... Its lust you feel, it can't be love."
"John," Bobby sighed as he moved one hand to my shoulder and the other to my cheek. "I've never felt this way about anyone before... I love you."
"Prove it," I whispered.
"How?" He whispered as he leant in to rest his forehead on my own.
"Dump Marie,"
"For you," he said before pushing lips onto mine.
I quite liked this chapter, but I don't think I wrote it as best as I could :S
I won't be able to update or even work on the next chapter for the next week and a half due to exams... Sorry :(
Read and Review, make me happy :)
