This wasn't how she was supposed to feel on her wedding day. She should be glowing and beaming, being extremely happy about everything that is about to happen. Yet, here she sat in her wedding dress in front of her vanity sipping water (being forbidden to drink anything else in fear she might spill it on her dress) just waiting for some more terrible news to come to her.

She still couldn't forgive Bobby, and probably never would, for killing their baby. Even if it would have killed her, she wanted the baby. Hell, she wanted a baby more than anything else really. She had never admitted it to anyone but herself, still the fact remained, she was more than likely never going to have one.

Once she washed that sadness down with a big gulp of water, her next trauma emerged in her brain. The fact that what John said about Bobby and Kitty could be true. The saddest factor of this argument in her mind being, a fractional part of her wanted it to be true. It would have given her a reason to break off this damn wedding and be free. Therein a fact remains, John is the accused father of Kitty's baby. What if this was true. It didn't make as much sense as anything else though. She had spent almost every second with John. Even at time when he didn't know she was there!

Irritated, she set her wine glass of water down and stood from her vanity chair. This stupid dress was so hard to move in it was unreal!

Rogue stared her reflection down in the full body mirror. It wasn't the dress' fault she was getting married, no use in getting mad at it. After all it was a rather magnificent dress. It was a white strapless top that was heavily beaded with pearls and clear beads, white buttons trailed up her back and fastened the dress together, the waist was simple and made to merge into the puffy princess style bottom. She really did love the dress, it was the wedding that was the problem.

A sudden knock on her door tore her from her reflection.

She lifted the puffy fabric around her feet and tip-toed over to the door, "Who is it?"

"Its me, Logan." A gruff voice responded from the other side.

Rogue took a deep breath and unlocked the door.

"Hey," She greeted the man on the other side of the door with a smile. "Come in."

"Thanks." Logan entered slowly.

"Logan," Rogue laughed, "Your tie."

Logan glanced down at the item wrapped around his neck. "Oh yeah, I couldn't get it to work."

"Come 'ere." She shuffled over to him and began to fix the tie.

"Thanks," He looked up at the ceiling.

There was an awkward silence after she had finished. Logan looked down and examined the hidden details on her face. He didn't know much about weddings, but he did know that the way she looked wasn't how a bride-to-be should.

"You okay, kid?" He put a hand on her bare shoulder.

She almost burst out into tears right then and there. She wasn't okay. She would never be okay after everything that has happened.

In an instant her arms were wrapped around Logan, burying her face in his chest.

"I don't know what's happening. I don't know what to do." She confessed as Logan's arms wrapped around her.

Showing affection wasn't normally something he would do, but this was his Marie and for some reason…she was hurting.

"You're not feeling bad are you?" He petted her back gently.

"No." She squeezed her arms tighter around him.

"Then what wrong? You should be smiling and happy when I walk you down that isle, not be on the verge of crying, unless of course they're happy tears." He tried to comfort her. "You're gonna to ruin your pretty curls if you keep thrashing your head around."

"I don't even know where to start. I'm a complete mess and I'm getting married in less than two hours!" She cried into his shirt.

"Its not like I'm going to try and crash the wedding. I figured after I told her everything she would wake-up and realize this was all a big mistake. She didn't, so I have nothing left to do here." John spoke with venom laced words as he shoved all his belongings he could into his old duffle bag.

"I know. I just don't want to be out there yet and in here is pretty much the safest place to hide." Kitty sighed.

"Aren't you a bridesmaid? Shouldn't you be helping her get ready for this fiasco?" John was pestered by her very presence. Why do people think they can just walk in and stay around him?

"Nah. No time to get our dresses together so she just has a maid of honor in the wedding of the freaking year." Kitty's tone was the bitter one this time.

"Aren't you thrilled?!" John faked enthusiasm, "Your baby daddy is getting married to someone else!"

"Yeah." Kitty sighed falling down on John's bed. "About that."

"I don't think I am, I know the truth. Don't bother." John tugged some of his clothes that were underneath her out. "Get off my clothes."

"So you're really going? You're not even gonna try to crash it?"

"Its what she wants apparently. I tried everything. She has too simple of mind to believe anything aside from stuff about me, I guess."

"Fine. I'm going to go get dressed, then see if your dream girl needs anything." Kitty got back up off the bed and exited out of the room.

Finally, she was worse than Rogue! Hanging around annoying the hell out of him all the time. What is it with the women around here?! He wasn't hanging around to find out, if anyone wanted to stop him this time, they'd have to kill him. There was a snowball's chance in hell he was staying here after today!

When John had finished packing the sound of thunder and wedding organs rang out at the same time. Figures, its gonna be raining and he has to be out walking in it. Beat staying here though.

With one last look down the hall, the hall that would lead to his worst nightmare, he turned a cold shoulder to it and walked away.

Couldn't say he didn't give it his best effort.

Once Logan had gotten Rogue semi-calmed down it was time for the show to begin.

"You look good in a tux." She smiled as Logan and her awaited their turn to walk up the aisle.

"Hope you take a picture, you'll never see me in this monkey suit again." Logan chuckled as he attempted to fix his sleeves one last time. "You ready?"

Was she? Sure Logan had coaxed her out here, but was she truly ready to do this?

"Rogue?" A meek voice broke into her thoughts.

"Kitty! What're you doing out here?" Rogue gasped.

"I need to talk to you before you do this."

"Can we make it quick? We kind of have a previous appointment." Logan added.

"Okay. We'll be right back." Rogue threw a smile over to Logan and pulled Kitty around a close corner. "Now what is it?"

"Rogue. There is no baby."

"You mean that you lost-"

"No, Rogue, there never was a baby. It was something I said, please don't hate me cause I need to be honest with you, to get Bobby to stay with me. Bobby told me to blame it on John. See? John was telling the truth." Rogue's mouth dropped open as she listened to Kitty's confession. She wanted to be mad at her, but Kitty was crying uncontrollable and she couldn't find it in her too. "Bobby came to me a little bit after you got sick and we got carried away and before I know it, it starts happening all the time. I felt terrible for doing it to you, but…Rogue…I love him."

Rogue took in a few breaths. So John was telling the truth and was completely innocent.

"He didn't abort your baby to save you." She sobbed, using her hands to cover her face, "He told me that he didn't want to be a dad while he was still in school so he used the cover that he wanted to save you. I know it all sounds so terrible, I had to tell you before you married him."

"Where's John?" Rogue managed to choke out.

"He left about thirty minutes ago. He couldn't be here while Bobby used you. Rogue-" Kitty's statement was cut short when Rogue's hand slapped her.

"I have to go find John. I'll deal with you two when I get back." Rogue's eyes narrowed at Kitty as she hitched up her dress and started down the hall.

"Kid! Where you going? We're supposed to go this way." Logan yelled as Rogue ran by him.

"I've gotta go. I need to find John!" She yelled back in response as she kept running.

This stupid dress was too hard to run in! Every few steps she took the material got caught underneath her foot, causing her to stumble. When she got to the front door she pushed both double doors open with all her strength. It was pouring rain, perfect.

She tried to focus through the constant drops on the path leading away from the school. Her eyes barely caught the dark figure turn out of the long drive, but they did see it.

"Rouge wait!" She heard Logan yelling from down the hall a bit, she needed to go right now though. She couldn't wait, he was already too far.

"John!" She screamed out into the rain as she forced herself out into the cold rain.

It was hard to hold her skirt up and run, but she had too. John was getting further away.

"John!" She stepped on her dress and stumble, but still kept going.

It didn't hurt in her chest while she was running, which inspired her to run faster.

"John stop! Jo--------hn!" She cried as she tripped and fell into a mud puddle. Her dress, hair and make-up were all ruined now. Her legs weren't used to so much intense work and were making it known they didn't like it. Despite the burning throbs she had keep going. He was just around that corner or somewhere near there she knew it.

She stood, now there was a new pain aside form her thighs, her ankle. It hurt to put pressure on it. Now wasn't the time for a twisted ankle.

"Come on!" She trudged on in the rain, only walking briskly due to her ankle. "John! John I'm so so so----rry!!! Please!"

She could hear Logan and a few others yelling her name from somewhere behind her in the rain. She was so close to him now. She couldn't stop. She had to get him to come back. She had to tell him that she cant marry Bobby, not when she loved him! She couldn't do it when John was everything she needed. She had to get him back or die trying.

Finally she reached the giant brick columns of the school's drive entrance.

Huffing, she leaned against it to catch her breath for a second and to give her ankle a rest. Using her hand, she wiped the rain and tears from her eyes so she could see around her.

"John! Where are you?!" She had to have made it in time. He couldn't have disappeared so fast! "John! I'm sorry! I need you."

Da da daa! So I prolonged the ending for two chapters, please don't be mad. I love writing this so much. I cant tell you how many times I watched the ending scene play in my head. I makes me insane not being able to get it up sooner, but I have to give you all my best (I know I have my share of typing errors so please forgive me). NO SCHOOL TOMORROW CAUSE OF SNOW, so I get to write more! YOUR TURN TO WRITE NOW! MAKE IT GOOD! (Not judging reviews, all reviews I get are blessings!) Thanks for reading!
