I just want to say none of these characters are mine,
no matter how much I wish otherwise. And the song
'Pieces' belongs to 'Rascal Flatts' not me, so enjoy.

John couldn't help but stare at the boy in front of him,
blond hair and blue eyes, eyes that were far to wide and
innocent to know even half of what John himself knew,
he'd never seen such eyes before. He reached out his
hand not sure of what else to do "I'm John" he simply
said and watched in confusion as the other boy beamed
back him, "and I'm Bobby" John nodded and listened rapt
attention as Bobby began to tell him everything he knew
about Xavairs School.
*From the moment that we met
My world was turned around,
Upside down
To some degree I still regret
My memory
For keeping you around
Boy, I thought that you were mine
But my broken heart's been
Shattered
One too many times*
John barely listened as Kitty talked about the two
new people that Cyclops and Storm had brought
back, one of them, the girl was going to start going
to class with them. John could care less all he did care
about was today was going to be the day he told Bobby
how he really felt about him, and he was to nervous to
really listen to her, he later wished he had.
*And I don't wanna see you anymore
I'm just not that strong
I love it when you're here
But I'm better when you're gone
I'm certain that I've given
And oh how you can take
There's no use in you lookin'
There's nothin' left for you to break
Baby, please release me
Let my heart rest in pieces, in pieces*
John sat in the BlackBird watching Bobby and Rogue,
he hated her so much it hurt, though he supposed it
wasn't her fault, after all she didn't make Bobby fall
in love with her he did that one his own, didn't mean it
didn't hurt any less. Coming to a quick decision he stood
and left the plane, knowing they wouldn't notice he was
gone, and besides even if they did why would they care
what happened to him, after all no one else ever had.
*Someone let you down again
So you turn to me,
Your convenient friend
Oh, but I know what you're doin'
And what you hope to find
I've seen it a thousand times
All the fire we had before
Are now just bitter ashes
You left scattered on the floor*
At first all John felt was a slight chill then before
he could fully realise what was happening his hands
and arms were incased in ice, and Bobby was nothing
but an form of ice before him. He prayed his life would
in that battle but a few months later he awoke to find
himself in the hospital alone and confused, and for the
first time since Rogue arrived at what he still thought of
as his first true home, he cried.
*And I don't wanna see you anymore
I'm just not that strong
I love it when you're here
But I'm better when you're gone
I'm certain that I've given
And oh how you can take
There's no use in you lookin'
There's nothin' left for you to break
Baby, please release me
Let my heart rest in pieces, in pieces*
It wasn't long before he found out what happened after
Bobby knocked him out, Storm came to see him when she
found out he was awake and told him, she even told him
Rogue took the cure. He's still not sure if she just trying
to get him to say something or she knew how he still even
now felt about Bobby and was being cruel, he's betting on
the latter everyone he's ever known in his life has been cruel
to him, some like Magneto less then others.
*And I don't wanna see you anymore
I'm just not that strong
I love it when you're here
But I'm better when you're gone
I'm certain that I've given
And oh how you can take
There's no use in you lookin'
There's nothin' left for you to break
Baby, please release me
Let my heart rest in pieces, in pieces*
It was nearly five years before he saw Bobby again he
had gone back to school and finished, he became a writer,
he guessed he was pretty good everyone told him he was,
John himself didn't care so he guessed it wouldn't matter
if he was or not. But when he opened the door to his apartment
and found Bobby standing there, after nearly five years, and
everything that had happened John found himself at a loss at
what to do. Bobby stared at him and John stared right back
before pushing away from the door and walking back to the
chair in front of his computer, leaving the door open so Bobby
could enter, Bobby closed the door behind him and took a seat
on the couch, he started everything off with the easiest question,
"Why did you leave with Magneto?" his eyes never leaving John's
intense brown eyed gaze. John answered honestly and kept answering
honestly until Bobby ran out of questions and sat watching him with
tears running down his face, not saying another word he stood and
left and John felt what little was left of his heart shatter and break,
and then he felt nothing.
*We both know that you don't need me
Let my heart rest in pieces
Let it rest*

I know that was very Angsty and I made John cry and I'm sorry
*Grabs John and cuddles him close to her bossom* I love John so
much and I hurt him. Trust me I am having trouble sleeping at night
because of this, but I've read so many stories making John out to be
some sort of monster because he joined Magneto *Please tell me if I
spelled that wrong because if I did I'm sorry, he is after all the cool
old guy*. So I wrote one that gave a different meaning on why he left,
I hope everyone likes it, if anyone can think of a song for Bobby, I might
write a sequel, if not then oh well. Well I gotta go, Bye.
