Sam's POV:

I woke up and saw Rogue and Bobby looking at me worriedly from the opposite bed. "Icy? What are you doing here?" I asked, getting up.

"I came to see Rogue, and she said you had fainted." He explained, not bothering to protest my calling him Icy. "Are you okay? What happened?"

I knew that there was no easy way out of this. My close friends, AKA Scott, Kurt, Ororo, and the Professor, already knew. I had started having the flashbacks just before I left, and I had told them. I figured I could tell Rogue, but Bobby might go and spread it to everyone. Gossip boy, that one.

Rouge seemed to understand what I was thinking. "Bobby, can you come back later?"

"Yeah, okay." Bobby said, standing. He understood. I hoped he wasn't too hurt.

Once Bobby was gone, Rogue turned to me. "What happened?" She asked.

"A Flashback." I said. "It's when I black out, and relive something that happened to me a while ago. I don't know why, it might be a side effect of my telepathy."

Rogue nodded. "Okay. What can I do?"

"I don't want people to know." I said, "So if it happens when you're around, don't make a big deal out of it. Blame it on stress or something. Say it's part of my power. Downplay it."

"Okay." Rogue said, accepting this. "Who else knows?"

"The Professor, Scott, Kurt, and Ororo. And now you. I'm sorry I didn't tell Bobby, but-"

"But anything you tell him is around the school in a minute, I know." Rogue said, then laughed. "His only fault, really."

"Mmm." I said, noncommittally.

"Oh, shut up." Rogue laughed again.

"Sam?" It was Douglas's voice.

"Yeah." I said, standing up and opening the door.

Douglas pulled me into a hug immediately. I was surprised for a second, then gently put my arms around him. He looked at me, and for a crazy, terrifying second, I thought he was going to kiss me. But then he pulled away, and I was relieved. He was like my brother! It would be like kissing Scott. Urg.

Douglas looked at me, and I resisted the urge to read his mind. Finally he said, "So you're okay."

"I'm fine." I said. "Don't worry."

"Good." Douglas smiled.

"How did you know I was here?" I asked him.

"Bobby told me you had fainted, and I wanted to make sure you were okay." Douglas explained.

"Oh." I said. "Thanks."

Douglas glanced at the clock. "It's almost nine. I have to go back. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow." I replied.

Douglas left, and I sat down on the bed with a sigh. "Douglas doesn't know." I told Rogue.

"You should tell him." Rogue said. "If he finds out from someone else, he'll never forgive you."

"I know." I was silent. "I just don't want to explain about…" I took a deep breath. "See, I can't even say his name anymore, it hurts so much."

"Logan." Rogue said sadly. "Yeah, I know. But we'll find him, Sam. I know we will."

I just crawled into bed, and used my powers to turn off the lights.
