A/N: This is just a little one-shot I came up with one night at about 2:45 in the morning while watching Shrek. Yeah. If you don't know Wolverine's whole history you might not get a part of this, but overall, it's basic. So, I hope you like it!
Disclaimer: I don't own X-Men, I don't own Wolverine. Or Jean, or Prof. X, or whoever else I may have mentioned. All I own is Devin, and it's not like a random telepathic mutant's going to make me any cash...
It reminded me of so many things.
It reminded me of better times.
When Jean and I were like sisters.
When we were best friends.
The necklace was simple. A thin silver chain with a silver music note charm hanging it from it.
The Professor had given it to me the day I had officially become an X-Man.
But now. Times had changed. For the worse.
The woman I had once considered my sister had taken away the man I loved.
And she didn't even seem to care.
I walked from my room, making no sound, as usual.
As I walked down the dark, shrouded hall, I passed many doors...
But I was only looking for one.
I finally came to it. His door.
I knocked softly, still holding my chain in my left hand.
I waited a few moments before knocking again, this time getting results.
I watched as the door opened slowly and Logan appeared in the doorway.
'Devin? Are you alright?' He asked rubbing his eyes.
I shook my head, trying my best to hold back tears.
'What's wrong?' His voice was hoarse.
I looked him in the eye and gathered my courage. 'You. You just don't get it. Maybe you just don't care... Point is, I'm leaving. I can't just sit back and watch you break my heart.'
'You're leaving? No...'
I felt a hot, salt tear streak down my face. 'Yes.'
'You can't.' He muttered.
'Why not?' I said, rage in my voice.
'This place just wouldn't be the same without you...'
I felt a few more tears fall. 'I don't care. I'll miss it here. More than you'll ever know, but it's not worth the pain.'
'No... I-I'd miss you.' He said, some distress in his voice.
'Why would you care? It's not like you give a shit...' I said, turning away from him.
'Where did you get that idea?'
'You'll never care about me like I need you to. You'll always love her.' I spat.
'Devin...'
'No.' I said, putting a finger to his lips. 'I want you to keep this, so you'll always remember who's heart you broke.'
I grabbed his hand and placed the necklace in it, closing his fingers tight around it.
'Take good care of it. Please, don't fail me this time.'
With that last word I leaned forward and brushed my lips against his.
As I deepened the kiss a vision flashed into my head.
There was blood, and a blood curdling scream. A scream unlike any other.
And the pain. The pain was beyond any other ever experienced.
And there was one more thing.
A name.
I pulled away quickly with a scream.
He looked at me with a frightened look in his eyes.
More tears poured from my eyes. 'I have to go...' I said, sniffling.
He shook his head.
I suddenly felt anger well up in me again. 'I am not your baby sister! Though you may feel that way for me, I need more...'
'No, you're not a sister. You are more.' He said, wiping a few of my tears away with his thumb.
I shook my head. 'But I'm not more than Jean.'
My statement seemed to surprise him.
I raised my hand to his and placed it back by his side.
'I won't play second fiddle.'
I kissed him once more, softer this time.
'Good-bye, James.' I whispered and walked away.
'James?' He asked, confused.
I stopped in my tracks and turned to face him. 'I think it's your name...'
A shocked expression came over his face as I walked backwards and out of the hall.
That night, I left the mansion.
I left James.
