Spin the Bottle
Chapter 4
Rogue suddenly felt very, very dizzy and she knew it wasn't because she had hit her head against the wall. She tried pushing Jean away but Jean was still clutching her shirt. No matter how hard she pushed Jean just kept kissing her. Rogue opened her eyes to see Jean's beautiful jade eyes staring at her in obvious panic.
"Jean!" Scott's voice was full of fear as he ran towards the two girls. Kurt and Kitty rushed forward to help him pull Jean off of Rogue. It took a lot of effort but eventually they managed to pry Jean's hands away from the shirt choler. The second Rogue was free she started apologizing to no one in particular.
"I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry. I didn't mean… mean to… but she just kept-"
"Shut up, Rogue!" Scott angrily pushed her out of the way as he left the kitchen with Jean unconsciously hanging in his arms. Evan and Kurt soon followed with Bobby right on their tails. Rogue just gazed at them in a mystified horror through the kitchen door that was slowly swinging back and forth.
"Uh, Rogue?" Kitty hesitated before approaching the other girl. "Rogue, are you ok?"
Rogue didn't say a word. Her eyes were overflowing with tears that stung her face. Every other tear seemed to glide down her cheek and into the corner of her mouth. The over all affect of this was burning eyes and a salty mouth. Nothing seemed to be penetrating her thoughts except the general feeling that she had somehow killed the only person in her life she had ever truly cared about. All of a sudden she felt a hand on her shoulder. She jumped away and whirled around to glare at a frightened Kitty.
"What!" she spat out. Kitty was looking her up and down with a kind of worried look. Rogue did the same to Kitty and she instantly noticed how the younger girl snatched her hand back and clung to it as though it had been bitten by a cobra. Through her teary eyes, she also noticed that Kitty looked more concerned than worried or frightened and was actually tearing up as well.
"What!" she repeated.
"I- I just asked if you were ok…" Unconsciously, Kitty took a few steps back. This was the first time she had ever seen Rogue like this. She took another step back as she watched Rogue clenching and unclenching her fists, slowly advancing upon a helpless Kitty.
"I'm fine, not that anyone cares." Rogue shoved past Kitty and headed out the door, waiting until she was around the corner before she took off running for her room. She was most likely halfway there when Kitty finally came out of her mild shock and could finally use her voice again.
"I…I care."
BACK TO JEAN AND FRIENDS
"You can't do that, Scott!
"I can, and I will."
"No! I agree with Bobby, Scott. You can't do this! It's so unfair to all of-"
"Look," Scott faced the other boys, his right hand still clutching the phone. He was standing on the other side of the table that held Jean's limp body. "If you guys have somehow developed mad mind control power things you can use to get Jean out of this state, then please, by all means, get her out of her coma. I'll give you till the count of ten to start healing her. At the end of those ten seconds, I continue dialing the professor's number."
"Scott"
"One… Two… Three…"
"Come on Spike! Pour some water over her!"
"Four… Five… Six…"
"I don't think that's going to work…"
"Seven… Eight…"
"Then for God's sake do SOMETHING!"
"Nine…"
"You owe me BIG for this…."
"T- AAHH!" Scott was suddenly holding a phone with a spike sticking out of it. He threw the phone over Jean's body and yelled at the two boys who tried to block their faces from the sparking object. "What the hell is wrong with you! Jean could DIE tonight and it's all your fucking fault!"
"Hey we had a deal!" Bobby was fuming and slightly (more like "considerably") intoxicated. "Everyone held up their ends of the bargain and now you're trying to go back on your word!"
"Hey man, I think we should just call the Professor." Bobby rounded on Evan, looking like a wild animal.
"Not you too!" he took another look around at the traitors. "No, no I refuse to let you two do this to me. I thought we were friends, man!"
"Uh, what's going on here?" Kitty walked into the room looking more confused than ever before.
"Kitty" Bobby ran up to her and grabbed her by the shoulders. Her reaction was something on the lines of "eep!" "Kitty, those… people "he sneered" Are trying to call the Professor. Do you understand what I'm saying, Kitty! They're EVIL, Kitty. EVIL!"
"Scott…?" Kitty was looking over Bobby's head. "How much has he been drinking?"
"I'm guessing a lot. Plus, mutants respond differently to alcohol than other people thus his… ranting…" Scott signaled to Spike to corner Bobby.
"Don't listen to him, Kitty. Those people are horrible people who want to ruin our lives!" He started laughing until he noticed he was trapped. That's when he grabbed Kitty and pulled her with him until his back was against a wall. "Back off you guys!"
"Scott! I need a little help right now and ew…" Bobby was sweating all over Kitty and he now had her in a headlock.
"Bobby, let go of her: now!" Scott put a threatening hand to his glasses. "I don't want to hurt you… but I'm willing to." Evan was on Bobby's other side and already had the tip of a spike sticking out of one of his fingers. Bobby was panicking and he didn't know why. He also didn't know how to control his body or what he said. He was so drunk; he literally didn't know what hit him when a chair was hurled across the room at him.
"Ah!' Kitty phased through Bobby and the floor, leaving Bobby to face the flying chair all on his own. It knocked him out immediately and everyone turned around to see Jean sitting up and rubbing her head.
"Why was he grabbing you?" She looked just as confused as they all felt. Finally, after what seemed like ages, Kitty once again managed to find her voice.
"Bobby is… well, he's really drunk." Kitty continued staring as Jean yawned and nodded her head.
"Makes sense." On that note, Jean stood up and started walking out the door. She paused and turned halfway to face them. "Where did Rogue go?"
