Diamond In The Rough (Completed)

Chapter 5

Sapphire's POV

I'm woken up by light shaking and when my eyes open, all I can see is Logan. He quickly tells me we are at the school and also explains that Xavior wants to see me.

"Why does he want to see me? I'm not that special." I ask Logan.

"Don't know, he's a real mystery he is." He tells me.

We get to the gates and I see a sign, 'Professor X's School for the Gifted Youngsters' and I have to stop and take a look at it. 'Wow, I'm really here' is all I can think.

"Come on kid." Logan demands.

"Sorry." I rush to catch up to my older brother and soon we are at the doors of the amazing Professor Axavior.

I take a deep breath and look to Logan, who looks a bit uneasy. It must not be good.

Logan knocks and shortly after we can hear the deep voice inside that ushers us to come in.

"Logan," Xavior turns to us, "I told you, you have no need to knock on my door anymore since you are of a professor as well as I am."

Logan raises his eyebrows, like he always does, and nods in realization.

"Now, about your sister." The amazing man looks at me, studying me. It gives me an uneasy feeling-being studied-but at the same time, I feel like I should explain my entire life to him and spill everything.

I stand there, and wait for Logan or even Xavior to say more but they are both is just looking at me.

"Umm..." I try to speak but nothing but that sound comes out.

I look to Logan and plead with my eyes that he can say something, but all he does is look at me with a funny expression on his face.

"I see you aren't one to talk so much, unlike your brother here" The professor silently points to Logan.

"Huh, got that wrong," Logan points to me, "she never shuts up."

I smile, he still complains about how much I talk.

"Yes, well you never stop complaining." I look to Logan with the smile still on my face.

"Oh your one to talk." He smirks.

I open my mouth as I'm about to say, 'Your the one who always talks crap, even when mom told you to stop' but I stop myself, he doesn't remember.

Instead, I close my mouth, and that conversation is over and done with quickly.

Xavior sees this and so, asks Logan if he would kindly leave me and him alone. Logan looks at me in concern and I glance at the man in the wheelchair, then nod at Logan.

"I'll catch you later." Logan whispers, leaving quickly.

I turn to the only other in the room and notice he's studying me again but this time in my mind I can somehow feel him searching my soul. And I don't like this at all, so I try to block him or something.

"Don't block me out Sapphire." He says as I block him.

"Please," my voice cracks, "don't." Damn, why can't I be strong for one day?

"I've already seen most of your past, so there's not much for you to hide left."

I turn and look out the window as all those horrid old thoughts and memories return.

"I just want to help you." He pleads.

A tear leaks out of my eye and I can't stop it nor the rest that follow.
