Cole woke up more than a bit hung over from the night before partying at the club. Since Christian and Kevin had been abducted, he had become the only active male member in the Aries Dorm. You'd never hear him complain.
His thoughts drifted back to last night. Seeing Christian, angry, breaking things, lovesick, missing Amelia, and feeling lost.
He passed his old room as he headed for the Commons to get some cereal and noticed something that hadn't been that way in a long time.
The door to Christian's room was open.
Cole gave the ajar door a push, opening it more, and he walked in cautiously. Looking around, the place was still clean and tidy, but things were different. Materials were gone: Christian's guitar, a jean jacket from the open closet, a few sets of clothing.
Cole slapped a hand to his head, realizing Christian wasn't lying about leaving. In fact, he was already gone.

"Hey you," Ellen said coming up behind Cole and wrapping her arms around him, "What's up?" she asked drozily, evident that she had just gotten up and her brain wasn't up to speed.

"Hey yourself," he chuckled, pointing into Christian's old room, "Looks like our fearless leader came home last night. Packed his bags and took off."

"Weird, wonder where he's going, maybe he's going to seranade Sinister with his guitar or something," Ellen said burying her face in Cole's back.

"No. He didn't sound like he was anything but serious," Cole said, staring blankly into the room, "I think he's really gone..."

"But where is he going there isn't like a sign up roster for him to join another group," Ellen said, "Right now he's probably sharing a cardboared box with a homeless guy named Spoony Steve."

Cole grinned, before his face became serious again, "I think that was his intent. I don't think he wants to e anywhere anymore."

"Well I guess we should start looking for cardboard boxes for him for X-mas," Ellen said tiredly.

Cole shook his head, "I feel bad for the guy," he said, taking a deep breath, "I mean, he's kind of exiled himself into nothingess here. He was forced away from the squad, most notably, Amelia, then he had to rip himself from the Marauders. I mean, where does he really have left to go?"
He reached over and wrapped an arm around Ellen's waist, "It must suck to not belong."

"Home?" Ellen asked burying her face in Cole's shoulder and sighed, "If anything Amelia should go after him."

"I don't know if Christian meant he was gonna go home. It doesn't seem the place he would runaway to," Cole said, laying his head on Ellen's shoulder, "And you try telling Amelia to go after him. I know she cares and all, but I'm pretty sure she's quite pissed off at him for leaving."

"Cole you have no idea how women's minds work," Ellen said and laughed, "She's not mad at him at all, it's just she has more importnt things to worry about right now, you know like the future?"

"Fair enough, but what about her feelings for Christian? The guy is obviously in a bad place right now. Say we go after him, you and I; hell, say the whole school goes looking for him, do you think he'd turn around for us?"
He shook his head, "The only person he needs is Amelia. If she could even track him down."

"She's one of the most powerful telepathics on the planet, not to forget that her and Christian have a telepathic connect," Ellen said thoughtfully.

"You're right, Christian and Amelia do have a special link, but if you think for a second Christian hasn't learned to shut it off during his stint with the Marauders, you're wrong."

"You can't shut it off particually since Amelia's mind has lost all it's walls and she's regained most of her true power," Ellen said.

Cole leaned over and kissed Ellen's nose, "So, what do we do? I mean, there isn't much you and I can do right? We're kinda trapped in this situation of no being able to help either of them."

Cole smiled and pulled back, "Yeah, but so are yours and my rooms. Let's have a little respect for the departed, huh?"

"Holy crap!" Ellen said looking at her watch, "We gotta get to school, or we'll get another detention!" she said grabbing Cole's hand and pulling him along with her out the door.
