Cole took a deep breath and fell onto the couch. Pissed was the best way to describe what he was feeling right now. Maybe betrayed, he wasn't sure.
Turning on the TV, he sifted through the best infomercials 3:00am could buy, before settling on some crappy SciFi Channel movie.
Zeb...Then Christian. Kevin's gone, and now this... Somedays I think I'd be better off dead.

Ellen entered the room, well actually she more bounded into the room humming a cheerful song that had been stuck in her head, "Hey you," she said jumping into Cole's lap and nuzzling up to his neck, "I've been looking all over for you."

Cole didn't take his eyes off the TV. He gave her a grunt that would have doubled for an agreeing nod. His eyes gave off a broken look that resembled a lone angry puppy.

Ellen continued to nuzzle at Cole's neck with a pleased smile on her face, "I passed my college exams is case you were wondering, three more years and I'll have my degree! Not to mention Iris was nice enough to give the both of us a few weeks off from missions," Ellen continued, "I have some money saved up, so let's go somewhere nice," she continued and look excitedly into Cole's eyes, "How about Europe, we can make fun of the French?"

Cole shook his head, "Why should I be so lucky? What's wrong with the other guys wandering the school that you've been hitting on so much?" He pulled himself away form her, nose curling in emotion.

"What?" Ellen asked looking confused and backing away from Cole a few inches, "What are you talking about?" she still questioned biting her lip. She couldn't think of anytime she had been hitting another guy.

"Piotr, for one. That new kid from Scotland you wanted to go skinny dipping with last night for another. I saw you from my bedroom window, El'."
He turned his head away from her, watching to TV, and not her reaction, "Next time you feel like flirting with someone, do me a solid and don't do it anywhere where I can see you."

"Cole those are my friends, beleiev or not they are guys so of course we're going to flirt with one another," Ellen said her voice quiet and eyes dark, "and as for skinny dipping, hell all of us do it at least once a month, so what's the big deal."

Cole stood up and started to walk away, "You;re my girlfriend. If I wasn't protective over you, what good would I be," he said bitterly.
He sighed, "Sometimes it's just impossible to make sense of you."

"What the hell Cole, I told you from the begining that I'm a girl that likes a long leash, and you seemed to understand that sometimes I like to go and do my own thing," Ellen said standing up and looking angry her hand clenched in fists, "Maybe if you weren't so tied up on yourself and thinking that the world revolves around you then you'd realize that if I do flirt with a guy it's nothing serious, you know copnsitering everyone already knows that I'm with you!"

Cole started seething. His eyes thinned, and his teeth gritted. It wasn't that he wanted to keep Ellen from having fun, he just wished she didn't have to make him feel so dejected during the course.
"New students don't even know how to find a bathroom in this place," he told her, "Let alone whether or not the cute girl sitting next to them is taken."
His neck tensed and out of a desire to calm down, he shoved a gale of air in a full 360 around him. The tv flickered, and books and plants were tossed asunder. He wouldn't have been surprised if Ellen wasn't knocked off balance by it.

Ellen gritted her own teeth as a potted plant came flying at her and she easily knocked it away with her arms, "Well then they should ask shouldn't they, besides half of them are to young for me and know that I'm picking on them. Wait this isn't about flirting with other guys," she said her eyes opening wide, "Your mad because we don't hang out as often. What the hell Cole you know everytime I try to invite you to come with me somewhere you always say no!"

"That isn't true," Cole shot back, "I take every opportunity I can to spend time with you. But trying to find Christian, and track down Kevin doesn't always leave me alot of time to follow you to some club to watch you get plastered!"

"I've only gotten tipsy, but god forbid I live up some of my younger years, you know being young," Ellen growled, "And last time I checked I've been working just as hard on finding Christian, Amelia, and Kevin as you have, so don't give me that I don't have enough time blullshit!"

"Yeah, you've been giving it time, alright," Cole snapped, "But these are my friends! I've been giving it every. Waking. Moment. That's why I haven't been spending time with you! Heaven forbid I try and help someone in leu of getting hungover. That's why we became X-Men, remember!?"

"I had no choice, I either had to become an X-men or be used as a military test subject," Ellen shot back and then covered her hand to her mouth before she waved Cole off, "But what do you care, I'm sure your friends need help," she growled turning away and walking out of the room.

Cole reached up and grabbed his necklace, and yanked. Back when he and Ellen first bagan to hit it off, he bought her a watch to help her keep track of time. In anger, he broke it, but kept the face of the watch around his necklace.
It snapped free with little resistance, and he tossed it at her, "you're right, I do have to help my friends. And I only have time to worry about one relationship at a time."
He turned and kicked the front door, popping it of the hinges, and walking out.

Ellen eyes filled with rage as the necklace hit her in the chest and bounced off. She bit her lip as hard as she could, not able to draw blood due to her invulnerability. Angerly she punched the nearby wall puting her fist through it as she pulled it out her glove that she had been wearin snagged on the wood. She pulled her hand free of the glove and looked at her hand and shook her head at the hard, diamond0like substance that covered it.
Maybe it would have been better to tell Cole about this? Yeah right it would have been better just to throw herself at the military then do that. Besides Cole had enough things to worry about then what Ellen's hands were turning into.
Ellen sighed anf fished out her glove and put it back on.

Cole stepped onto the grass, and lifted himself up on waves of air. He floated up to the top of the dorm, sitting on the rooftop, like he and Ellen used to before things became chaos.
He sighed, and sat back, laying on the roof and staring into the sky. Maybe it's time all this ended, he thought, I've got too much on my mind. I love her. I know I do. I never stop thinking about her, or wanting to be with her even though I can't. But maybe it'd be easier for her to just stop all this.
