Chapter 1-Prologue

It had been about two weeks since she and gambit had broken up. Only thing which hurt her was this time he was with some other woman, not her, and not only any other woman but her own friend, Jubilee had taken her love away from her. She always had hope that gambit would come back to her after their occasional breakups, but not this time, this time she had crossed his line of tolerance and so she wasn't getting him back. This was the price she had to pay. Most of the time she blamed her powers but now it was obvious and her own fault. She always pushed him away. But he couldn't understand. He couldn't peek in her heart and see how much she loved him, neither could she explain him how much it hurt not to let him show how she cared about him.

A silent tear rolled out on her soft, pale cheek. She remembered how she had put her arms around him and asked for his forgiveness and how simply he had told her that he didn't love her anymore and still cared for her. Those words echoed in her mind. "Gambit don' love you no more, chere." Her lap was wet with tears that had been leaking out from her luxurious, green eyes. Her gloves were laid in her lap. It had been an hour since she came back from the training session. She started shivering in the already cold night of January.

There was one thing she learned from all these years, confidence. Before, she would start crying at every little thing, but now she was brave. Or may be it was that she had been through so much things that her heart was …numb? Her composure came back to life as she thought about the only thing, that everything would be al right. How could she NOT live when she had survived the greatest fears and life-ending sorrows of her life? "Don' cry ovuh nothin' Roguie, he don't love you no more…" She said to her self and wiped a tear with a firm thumb of her hand. "Ah have to be strong." She smiled. "Raght?" She smiled again at her stupidity of speaking to herself. She got up and changed into a comfortable sweater and sweat pants and jumped on the bed happily. It took only five minutes and she was fast asleep.
