Jono
Jonothon sat up abruptly, a discordant chord ringing out from his guitar. She wouldn't...oh god. Oh god.
He felt literally sick to his stomach. He couldn't throw up, god knew there wasn't any way he could. But he wanted to. He felt so betrayed...
How the hell did she think he wouldn't know? He was a *telepath*, for god's sake. He knew what everyone was thinking or doing. Thought was linked inextricably to action. He could shut most of it out, but Rogue...
She was his girlfriend, for f*ck's sake!
When Gambit opened Rogue's door to leave, Jonothon's fist met him in the face.
Rogue and Gambit
Gambit reeled back, hand to his face.
"Jono?" Rogue asked, looking over at him curious.
Ah ha! That's was Rogue's boyfriend's name! Erm, oops?
Jono
I thought you were smart, Rogue. I'm a f*cking telepath, did you think I wouldn't know?!
Jonothon was raging coldly, keeping himself under control just barely.
Or did you just not give a flying f*ck? And I can't wait to see what the twins and Tav do to you, mate. Dem's sweet. She doesn't deserve this.
Rogue and Gambit
Rogue blinked at Jono. Then she shook her head.
"Ah never had a... no..." she frowned.
"Per'aps I should go," Gambit said, eyeing both of them.
Rogue looked up at him.
"Must you?"
"I t'ink it would be better for my health."
"Oh..."
"Later, cheri," and Gambit started out the door.
Jono and Demetria
Jonothon just kept staring at Rogue.
Did she change you this much? Really?
"Remy!" Demetria said in delight.
"I didn't know you were...what happened? Are you alright?"
Don't mind him, Dem. That's what I usually do to guys who sleep with my girlfirend. Jonothon said bitterly.
Demetria's hand flew to her mouth and she went white, wide shocked eyes on Gambit.
"Remy...oh, oh my god!"
She turned on her heel and ran, disseapering between one step and the next, a griefstricken sob hanging on the air.
Rogue and Gambit
Gambit winced. His eyes met Rogue's briefly, then he left. Note to self, don't come back to the mansion any time soon.
Rogue sunk down on her bed.
"Ah don't know," she replied, softly, following it up in a louder voice: "Ah don't know!"
She shook her head.
"Ah don't know why Ah did what Ah did. Ah didn't even think that Ah was ready to... to do that. But Ah..." she gulped nervously. "Ah can't... Ah don't... it doesn't... Ah'd like to say Ah'm deeply sorry, but, but Ah'm... not."
She felt tears pricking at her eyes.
Jono, Demetria and Octavian
Jonothon nodded sharply.
Of course you're not. Julie never would be. Thought you were just a bit stronger then that, Rogue, but it would appear you're not.
He turned on his heel and left, shoulders hunched as he put his hands in his jacket's pockets.
Demtria flung herself at her brother, crying her eyes out. Octavian caught her in shock.
"Dem, Dem, what happened?"
"Remy, he, Rogue, oh my GOD!"
Octavian patted her back as she wept, eyes narrowing. Remy was a dead man. No one hurt his sister and got away with it.
Rogue
Rogue chewed her lip as Jono left.
Julie. Of course.
Absorbing Julie had been different... she hadn't completely taken over the way that a lot of her other... victims had for a few minutes.
It seems that she just had some of her personality traits.
She shuddered, please let this be the end of that! She liked Julie, she really did, but she would never want to be her.
She reached for a tissue and blew her nose. Either way, one thing was for certain.
Julie might have been the reason she slept with Gambit... but she wasn't the reason she didn't regret it.
