I hope I wont lose the tread of this story, it seems to be a long one.

In this chapter you will find out parts of what has happened before Warren came, Wolverine get a true word thrown right into his face, and Pyro reach a new level of power.

Later, John waved Warren a goodnight and entered his and Bobby's bedroom only to find Bobby sitting on his bed, glaring at him.

"How long?" Bobby demanded to know.

"How long what?" John didn't get a thing.

"How long have you known that guy?"

"We just met today, why are you asking?"

"'Cause to me you looked a little closer than someone you've just met."

"Like you would ever notice if I talked to someone else, drooling over that use-to-be-mutant."

"Don't drag Rogue into this!"

"Why not? She's the reason it's impossible to be around you anymore. You've changed ever since she came here." Bobby looked like he didn't know what to say, but John did and he wanted to get it all out. "We used to be friends, Bobby. And even closer than that! But when you started to hang around with her, you didn't give a damn about me. Did you honestly expect me to always hang around you guys, pretending I enjoyed it? No way, Bobby! The only reason I didn't leave with Magneto is because you asked me not to. I thought we could go back to what we had. But I've been proved to be wrong. I never had any other friend that you, ´cause you were the only one that accepted me for who I was. But now I've found some else who can say they like me for who I am.

I don't want to listen to you two going on about how stupid, childish, show off, badass, irresponsible, irritating I am. I've had enough! But now, when I get a new friend you act like it's, I don't know, a bad thing. Now I wont be around to irritate you guys or get in you're way anymore, isn't that what you wanted?"

"No!" Bobby interrupted, almost screaming. "That's never what I wanted! How could you ever think that?!"

"Well, it's quite hard not to."

"I know. I've been a jerk, I know. But I don't want to lose you, ever. You were right about Rogue all the time. I guess I just wanted you to be jealous." Bobby tried to step closer but John backed away.

"Jealous´, the fuck Bobby. That's no excuse, you know it. I'd already told you I liked you, more than as a friend. Fuck, I even told you I love you, but you still kicked me away!" John was almost crying now. It was true; he and Bobby had been a couple, even a while after Rogue came into the picture. They actually never said right out they broke up, therefore it came as a chock for Bobby when John now was spending his time with another guy. John belonged to Bobby and none else! Nobody could ever love John as Bobby, and John had told him that he loved him back! Rogue was only something he could use to pretend he was normal (for a mutant). He'd never really liked her like that. He knew it was wrong but as it looked now, she didn't really care about him either. He'd told John he didn't really want Rogue so why was he doing this?

"John, please, don't… don't do this… Please, John, don't leave me!"

"Leave you´ Bobby? I don't think you get it. Warren and I are just friends! And I can't leave you, ´cause you're not here anymore. You left me the moment you got together with Rogue."

"But…"

"No but´, Bobby. I know I said I loved you, hell, maybe I still do, I'm not going to deny that, but that doesn't mean I trust you. Not anymore. I let you came closer than I've let anybody do for a long time, but to me, you only used it to hit me at a more sensitive spot. I've been hurt before, you know that, but that doesn't mean its okay to do it again for it hurt just as much every time. The only difference that come out of it is that it'll get harder for me to trust other people." John turned around to walk back out of the room when he heard a thud. He looked around to see Bobby sitting on the floor. He looked up at him with pleading eyes where tears hung from his eyelashes;

"John… please… I… I can't… don't, John, please… I'll…" John didn't stay to hear the rest. He didn't slam the door, just closed it quietly and slowly walked away.

In the room, Bobby stayed on the floor. It felt as if he had frozen himself from the inside. Then the pain hit him. All he could do was to hold himself and try not to cry. He didn't mean it to go this far, but the days only seemed to pass by and time went on without him realising it.

He felt as if an invisible hand had a hard grasp around his heart and at the same time made it hard to breathe. In the back of his mind John's voice repeated what he had said. Then another voice appeared the voice of an old man.

"He's been hurt; it won't be easy to earn his trust. But he hasn't been damaged like others; he won't judge us at first appearance. And at the same time he might be completely destroyed, his mind is dark and he thinks that he is alone. He learned the lesson well. But he is strong. If you get his trust you shouldn't let him down." Magnetos face came up to the surface of Bobby's mind for a moment. Now it felt as if his heart just had disappeared, leaving an empty hole in him. Bobby almost felt as if he was going to throw up. John had trusted him and let his defences down so far he even could allow himself to openly love Bobby, and what had he gotten back? Bobby slowly got up and walked back to John's bed. There he lay down and hugged one of the pillows, it smelled just like love. Crying himself to sleep, Bobby finally found relief form the pain when John in his dreams came back to him and Rogue was gone.

John slowly walked around in the mansion, not caring about where he was. He felt as if he was all empty, his body walking without his control. If he hadn't been so angry he might have taken Bobby's offering to go back. Now he knew that that bridge was burned; now he never could go back.

When he finally looked up he spotted a window. He walked up to it and opened it. He reached out his hand to see if any snow would hit it, but all he got was a cold, empty wind. With a sight he closed the window and leaned his forehead against it.

He didn't know how long he stood there before the footsteps came once again. This time John knew who it was; Logan always patrolled the corridors when he couldn't sleep again after his nightmares. John tried to sneak away, but the high sentences of the Wolverine weren't falling for it. Soon the man stood if front of him, glaring as usual. John didn't even try to fight him, but stared at the floor.

"What are you up to?" Logan growled.

"Would you believe me if I said nothing?"

"No, I wouldn't."

"Then why do you ask?"

"Now you listen, you little tight-assed jerk. I'm not going to play you're little games; I'm not into that stuff. And I don't care what bloody reason you might have to be here, I only ask because I have to."

"Have to´? Nobody ever asked you to stay here, even less do anything you can call work! The only reason you do it is because it makes you feel important, you don't want to face how useless you truly are."

"You bloody little…"

"See! Now you're at me for destroying you're little fantasy-world! Get it, you're not different from anybody else, nether am I. All we do, we do because we can win on it. You only want to see that you're better than anybody else, and what could be a better place for that than a school, where people haven't learned everything yet?"

"Shut the fuck up, you little ass-licking worm! I would strangle you if I didn't know you deserve to live in the little hell you've created for yourself!

You're talking about being useless, well I suppose you recognise your own kind. I have no idea why Magneto ever showed any interest in you; guess he wanted someone who was stupid enough to follow orders without question. You say I'm an ego; well I at least do something more than destroying things for people who are trying to help me! Do you honestly expect everybody to keep on trying to get to you forever? ´Cause when people are as ungrateful as you are, you give up. Soon you'll have to do it on your own, when nobody wants to have you around anymore."

"Shut up! Just shut the fuck up! You don't get anything so don't even try!" By now John was screaming and he felt that not only the fire in his heart was growing by his anger; now his whole mind was like a roaring inferno. The air around the boy was getting warm, even though John hadn't touched his lighter.

John suddenly got an idea. If he'd been completely awake he'd think it was stupid and never tried, but he was tired, sick, angry and confused, willing to do anything he could to get away from what was bothering him, so he did it. He let his mind out like he did when he used his powers, but instead he grabbed on the warm air. He concentrated it to a small ball like he used to do with the flames. Then he let it wander out towards the other mutant in front of him. Logan let out a surprised gasp when his clothes started to smoke. John continued, getting closer to the result he wanted. Then he realised what he did wrong. He concentrated on the fire inside of him, the smoke in Logan's clothes fading, and the man turned towards the boy. Surprisingly, John hadn't moved a bit. Instead he stood with his eyes closed, looking concentrated.

John had gone inside of himself completely and took hold of the flames in there. He then dragged them out, outside his mind, and send them flying towards the other mutant. Logan screamed in pain as fire appeared out of thin air and surrounded him, burning.

People woke up and started looking through the corridors for the source. The first one who found it gave, unknowingly, the professor a quite good idea what was going on. He quickly send a message to everybody to go back to their rooms, and then he set of towards the chaos of thoughts and emotions he could feel at the centre of the problem. When he arrived, only five people were there. Getting closer he recognised Logan lying on the floor, still healing the burning-wounds that covered his whole body. On her knees next to him was Rogue, and standing beside was John, Warren and Bobby. John was still catching his breath and at the same time trying to explain to Warren who was holding him up on his shaking legs.

Xavier waited until Logan sat up and John had calmed down before he sent Rogue, Bobby and Warren back to their rooms, deciding that it would be better to talk in the morning.

He then asked Logan if he could walk and the three of them were off towards the office.

So, now it's going to take a while before next part shows up, but I'll try to put it up as fast as I can.

Please, don't hate me if I made your favorite-mutant look bad, they just are who they are in my story, I can't change that.
