East Attic: Thursday afternoon (NFB)

[marieann_d]

After her classes were over, Rogue returned to her room. She tried not to stare at Kitty's side. It's just the way she left it; neither she nor Piper could bring themselves to touch anything

Phoebe knocked gently and then let herself in. She leaned against the door for a long moment. She managed to avoid looking at Kitty's side of the room, but just barely. She moved from the door and sat on Piper's bed.

She didn't say anything. Rogue knew she was there and would talk when she felt like it.

Rogue heard Phoebe come in, but continued staring at the ceiling for a long while.

"Why'd it have to be Kitty? I mean, of all the people in this school, someone had to go and kill the nicest girl ever." Tears started rolling down her cheeks as she sat up. "I just...I hate this."

Phoebe handed Rogue some tissue and kept some for herself. More than anyone, she wanted to hug Rogue, but she was respectful and waited.

"I don't know," Phoebe said softly. "It makes no sense. It makes me want to gaher those up that I care for and place them somewhere safe."

"I don't think anywhere is safe," she chokes out. "I mean, if this school isn't safe, and my last school wasn't safe--where IS safe?" Rogue gritted her teeth, trying to stop at least the most violent sobs. "I don't want to be afraid anymore."
