Who the hell had ever told Laura she didn't belong? She belonged with her, even if Logan or anyone else didn't want her. She was family. Rogue's family. Just like Jubes, and Magma had been before they had died and just like Kitty was now.<br/><br/>Damn it! She never wanted Laura to feel like she was alone...at least not like she had felt when she had left home after the "incident" with Cody. For so long she was by herself. That was until Logan found her....but even then he would always leave and not come back for months at a times...and just like Laura she would blame herself for him leaving. Only this time she wouldn't allow Laura to beat herself up like she had. It was Logan's decision to leave like he did. She only wished she had learned long ago it wasn't her...nor Laura. It was him.<br/><br/><strong>"Laur.....!"</strong><br/><br/>Smelling, the blood due to Logan and Laura's powers, she quickly dropped what she had, had in her hands and turned around, seeing small puddles of blood on the floor as Laura's back was now toward her and not the wall.<br/><br/>Rogue, knowing what she had done, since she had seen it done many a times by other students and because she wasn't stupid, grabbed hold of Laura by the shoulders and swung her around before pushing her up against the wall, blocking her in so she wouldn't be able to avoid her and then wrapping her arms tight around her waist and pulling her into a tight hug as tears of her own began to fall down her cheeks.<strong>"It's not your fault. He didn't leave because of you. He did this long before you came along. So, don't you go blamin' yourself for what he does. <br/><br/>Also, don't you let me ever catch you doin' what you just did. I may not have seen it but ah' ain't stupid. You ever try and hurt yourself like that again I will rip them claws from your hands."</strong><br/><br/>Rogue, held Laura for a few seconds longer, letting what she had said sink in before pulling back just enough that she could lift the girl's face up with her finger so they were staring one another in the eyes.<strong>" You're not alone Laura....and none of this is your fault. You are needed. Ah' need ya'. You are family. Mah' family. Ah' love ya' sug' and don't ever forget that. Ah' don't think I could bare losin' another person ah' loved. Promise meh' you won't leave meh' too!"</strong>
