Hours have passed since I talked to Logan and I knew I had to find Kurt.

I wanted to apologize for leaving him alone in one of the most important moments of his life.

He always wanted to know the truth about his real parents and now that he finally found a lead, I ran off without caring about his feelings and his problems.

I knocked his door and waited for a reply.

"Come in," I heard him say and I opened the door.

He was hanging upside down from the ceiling with his tail.

"Hey," I said just above a whisper and walked inside, closing the door behind me.

"Oh, hey," he said coldly making my heart ache and teleported down on his bed.

"I am really sorry for leaving the way I did this morning," I apologized and sat next to him on the bed.

"I didn't expect this from you, you know. Maybe you don't care about your past, but I do and you could have stayed to support me, because you know how much I want to know the truth," he said still not looking at me, I sighed and looked down as well.

I didn't know what to say to make this better, it couldn't get better.

"When Rogue touched you, we made a promise, that as long as we stick together, we will be okay, why did you leave? " He asked looking at me now with his yellow, demon-like eyes.

Should I tell him?

Should I let him into the darkness I had immersed myself in?

"It's okay if you don't trust me, you know, I just thought that you did," he said harshly standing up from his bed ad I ran after him panicked.

"No! I do trust you! I do. I just feel unsure of what ..," I said and drifted off at the last part.

"Of what you'll think of me," I continued.

His expression softened.

"I know we have talked about this before and I know that I can trust you. I just am not ready to share it with the others and I know they care, I just... I don't know," I said, covering my face with hands sitting back down on the bed.

I felt the bed shift as he sat next to me.

"Katzchen, it's okay, you don't have to hide. We are family here, No one will judge you. I won't judge you, you can tell me the truth," he said removing my hands away.

"I left because I already know what happened to me and I couldn't bear you or Anne or Jean found out the truth" I explained and he looked puzzled.

"Know what?" He asked confused.

"The dream said the truth about me," I admitted and his eyes widened.

"You were burned?! You were in that closet!? Oh god! " Kurt said freaking out and I placed my hand on his shoulder.

"Kurt, it's okay! I am okay," I said, trying to comfort him.

"How did you end up there? " He asked and I felt a huge.

"I-" I was cut off by a knock on the door.

"Hello?" I asked but no answer since Kurt wasn't in a good state I walked to the door, opened it but found no one there.

I stepped on something and looked down. There was an envelope on the floor, I raised an eyebrow.
