Reality Bites--part 10

"Look... he needs some help, and your 'friend' looks like she is going to cry, and I hate it when people cry." Ryan stated. "Let's take this inside and get one of your big male friends to help me carry him to the car."

Le Fae

Leilee was still crying and shaking as Cara gently lead her into the club and over to a seat. Her whimpers were soft, and indistinguishable from the music and chatter. Leilee closed her eyes and started to rock back and forth.

Cara ran over to the X-men and filled them in on what happened. As they went off to get the others, Gambit ran over to Leilee and lifted her to his lap, holding her gently and rocking her back and forth, soothing her. "Shhh, Petite. It's ok. C'est bien. Gambit est ici. Everything will be ok now."

Leilee looked up at him and felt tears fill her eyes once more. "Can we please go home now?"

Gambit nodded solemnly and wrapped his coat around her. He then led her outside to wait for the others.

Leilee

Inside the Club, Cara and Ryan got into a little more heated conversation.

"So what she makes the guy catatonic? What happened to kicking the guy in the privates and running away?"

Ryan knew that Victor had attacked the girl, with his past it was a given fact. Ryan also knew that she had to have done something to make him do it or she had to be someone he didn't like. She just couldn't figure it out right now.

/I wish I were a little more sober right now,/ she thought to herself. If she were sober she would be able to figure out what was going on and why these people looked so familiar.

Le Fae

Cara was fuming. The girl she thought of as a new friend was friends with Sabertooth...she was very angry; she felt betrayed somehow...and Arac was using her negative emotions to feed itself; Arac was trying to take over.

"The guy attacks my friend, and YOU BLAME HER! The guy is a total CREEP! He doesn't care WHO he hurts! How could you CARE about that guy! How could you even get involved with a creep like that!" she said sharply. For some reason, she wanted to take this girl out...

Cyclops and Mystique stepped in between the two girls...The two of them had managed to put Sabertooth into the car, and Mystique was in hurry to get out of the club...

"Come on Ryan, we need to go..." she said to Ryan. She leaned a little closer and whispered so only Ryan could hear, "The boss will want to know about this."

"Come on Cara, the others are waiting..." Cyclops said to Cara.

Rainfall

Ryan a sharp look and Ryan nodded.

"I don't know how you know Victor but he is a lot nicer then you think he is! He is the nicest guy I know!" Ryan was screaming and on the verge of tears. Mystique had to pull her out of the club.

Le Fae

Cara was fuming as she walked out of the club; of all the nerve of that girl! How could she be so rude after being nice to her earlier!!!

When Cara got to the car, she saw Amanda, Maria and the others, but she didn't see Sammi or Jonas. Gambit was in the back seat, holding a sleeping Leilee; and Gambit was whispering in french to her as he stroked her head. Cara started to feel a little jealous; Arac was getting a stronger foothold on her conscious mind. She got in the car, and stared out the window, ignoring everyone else.

Rainfall

Maria sighed as she closed her eyes wearily. She never felt so torn before. On one hand, Lielee was seriously traumatized by Sabertooth but Creed was also a good friend of Ryan's. She had seen comics in which Creed had shown some humanity and Ryan did need someone after what happened to her.

Maria looked at Cara who was also quiet. "Cara?" Maria asked.

Cara didn't reply as Maria looked down to see that she's visible. "You okay?"

Cara glanced at Maria with strange eyes. An all to strange feeling shivered down her back. "Yes." she replied.

"Where's Jonas and Sammi?" Maria asked almost bewildered.

"We'll find them but first, you must go back to the mansion. That girl you were talking to could be allying with Mystique and Sabertooth." Scott said as he watched the girl slowly vanish.

"Ryan? A supervillian?" Maria recalled about how Ryan had told her about her setting fire to her boyfriend's house. "Say, do you think... that maybe... Ryan's from the same world that we are from?"

Maria Cline

The group got back to the mansion to news that there was two new members. one there and one at the school who would be brought the next day.

Meanwhile, Teb was still unconscious and being taken care of by a very worried Angelo.

Teb

==Hope's Entrance (told from her point of view)==

I wasn't sure how the experiment was going to work. The basic idea was that plants held small amounts of electrical energies, how did they use these energies was the thesis for my biology final. I never expected that I would get sucked down a vortex, nor did I expect to crack my head on a concrete stair. The last thing that I can remember is seeing a bunch of well-dressed people standing around and a very concerned Beast staring at me.

*****

I wake up trying to get my bearings.

"Excuse me but I seem to have received a blow to the back of my cranium. I think that I might have sustained a concussion." I begin to mutter to myself about my pulse rate being rather high and distinctively having blurred vision. Which would substantiate my original prognosis.

As I check over the rest of my body I notice that my normally honey colored tones are somewhat darker. At first I put it off to bad lighting till Beast moves back into the house, carrying me. At that point I realize that my skin is an apple shade of green. With that, I let out a shriek that I am sure the entire world can hear and faint.

Lady_Yann

Beast shook his head worriedly as he carried the unconcious woman to the medlab. He did not know her name...but he thought she was beautiful.

/Enough of that...I am a trained medical professional, and this woman is in need of care... I should not be thinking of her in any way other than that of a patient./ Beast told himself.

Still, in his heart, he had already nicknamed her, Sleeping Beauty.

Rainfall

Leilee woke up with a muffled scream as Gambit carried her down the hall to her and Cara's room. Upon seeing that it was Gambit carrying her, and not Sabretooth, she gently slipped out of his grasp to stand up and face him.

They both stared at each other for a moment, not sure what to do, when Leilee stepped forward and hugged him tightly. They embraced for a moment before she stepped away.

"Thank you," she whispered before walking into her room.

Leilee

It was a chilly night, and it was getting a little cold as they were getting higher and higher, But Sammi didn't really mind. What was a little cold... When you were in the arms of a loved one?

She put her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes, and she felt Jonas do the same.

/I hope he is not closing his eyes too./ she thought and smiled.

Jonas held her hard, careful but hard, his arms around her waist to be sure that he would not drop her.

Finally he found the destination, he was glad he always had good night vision.

He sat them down on the ground, Sammi feeling relieved that they finally was having something under their feet.

She parted from him, looking into his eyes, and then said the first words in a long moment.

"So where are we?" she asked and ran her fingers threw his thick short hair.

"Look around, I thought that without flying too far this is as private that we may get."

Sammi looked around, there where on top of the Empire State Building.

Jonas smiled at her.

"Did I ever mention that I'm scared of heights?" Sammi said as she held Jonas closer.

"We can go down if you like." He said afraid that he might have done this wrong.

"Did I say anything about leaving this place? I'll be fine as long as you promise to catch me if I fall." Sammi said grabbing him by the neck pulling his face to hers

"Nothing could stop me from catching you if you ever fell, but I must remind you." Jonas leaned in to kiss her.

"I think I'm already falling... want to catch me?" he was about to kiss her but she pulled back.

"No! I think I rather fall right along side of you." she kissed him.

Here they were standing on the ledge of one of the most famous building's in the world, kissing, strangers in a strange world, every thing so different yet the same.

Every thing was right nothing could ruin this... well almost nothing.

Sammi smelled something a moment before... "Hello, I hope that you're not about to jump, I'd hate to break this up."

They turned startled around to see a red and blue person sitting on the side of an antenna, looking down at them.

"I should have known this..." Jonas said angry, he might have liked to meet Spiderman, but not now... this was real bad timing.

As much as he considered Spiderman his favorite non X-Men character.

"Buzz off bug!" Jonas said and frowned

======

Admiral

Cara was fuming; she didn't know why, but every little thing was making her even more angry...she felt like she was losing control of herself.

She watched as Gambit carried Leilee up to their room...then turned around and went back outside. She decided to take a walk in the woods; She really wanted to be alone, and maybe it would help her cool off.

==

On the other side of the woods was a little clearing; it was on top of the cliff that the hidden Hanger was housed in, and the cliff overlooked the sea.

Cara walked over to the edge of the cliff, and sat down. She watched in the distance as the waves crashed against each other, glittering in the light of the full moon. The breeze whirled around her; playing with her hair, and brushing against her face.

She felt her anger begin to recede, and closed her eyes...enjoying the peaceful moment...

Rainfall

Maria had to run. True, it was the middle of the night and there's a chance that some supervillian would be lurking in the woods but she felt safe as she turned invisible and ran.

The feeling of danger still lingered as she stopped and stared at the stars. The dark cloth of night that sparkled with it's own gems. As usual her thoughts turned to her family who's not even sharing the same sky with her. She walked on toward a cliff to see Cara standing there. Some part of danger grew stronger as Maria walked toward her silently.

Cara seemed relax now but her face was still tense. Maria couldn't bear to disturb her but she couldn't leave her alone either. So, in the silence she watched Cara stand there.

Maria Cline

===Empire State Building===

Sammi looked at Spiderman and then back to Jonas. She faced Spiderman and said, "So are you the Real Peter Parker or are you one of the clones?"

Spiderman was shocked."How did you know my name?"

"Its a kinda magic." Sammi said smiling. She turned and said to Jonas,"I love this but We should probably get back before Logan kills you and Rogue kills me."

jubilee_79

"You know this is weird." Jonas said and looked at Sammi.

"X-men, Generation-x and Spiderman who is next?" Jonas lifted both of them off the ground. "But you're right, I'm in too good a mood to fight Logan."

Spiderman jumped down and grabbed Jonas by the arm. "I asked you a question, who did you know my name."

"Oh, I know many things about you." Sammi said a wicked smile on her lips.

"Don't worry Spidey, we won't tell anyone." Jonas said and landed on the ground again.

"Sorry I snapped at you, and that... bug thing." Jonas held out a hand. "Jonas, I have always wanted to meet you, showed up at a bad moment that's all."

Spiderman took Jonas hand, puzzled but it was a strong friendly handshake, and his spider sense was not sounding.

"Nice to meet you, I don't get many visitors up here, but the occasional jumper, tired of life... figured you two might have been one of those."

"Oh, the last thing we would do is jump of a cliff... or building." Sammi said hugging Jonas.

"Well I'll leave you to what ever you was doing." Spiderman jumped up in the air. "If Logan and Rogue is who I think, say hello from me." Spiderman disappeared in to the darkness.

They looked after him, then started to laugh... so that was the old web head...

"Funny I thought he would be bigger." Jonas said as he once again lifted into the air feeling Sammi grab tight.

======

Logan eyed Rogue... Rogue eyed Logan...

They were both still at the club... or rather outside.

"I'm going to explain one or two things to that kid when they come back..." Logan said after ten minutes of watching the sky.

"HIM! Ah'm telling ya she better be nice." Rogue responded without missing a beat.

"Well he have one thing in mind, I'm telling ye he lay one finger on her, we will find out just how *invulnerable* he is." Logan turned to face Rogue

"Ah think that he should be more worried about his feeling's than your claws."

"Oh is that so, don't ye think I know what he wants... I can see it in his eyes."

"They make a cute pair, don't ya think about getting in the way." Rogue faced Logan.

Logan frowned, she was right... they fitted like a pair of gloves, and it was hard to accept when you wanna protect someone.

Xavier heard a knock at his door and knew who it would be. He had sensed her concern as the group had approached the house and had already gotten the details from her. He also knew where Sammi and Jonas were and had decide to talk to them when they returned. He was also concern about the emotional stability of both teams. The X-men were growing attached to this group while the others were now understanding what life here was like.

(Hello, Charles. Are you here?)

Xavier turned towards Amanda to see her staring at him dressed in her uniform. He felt a stab of disappointment that she had change out of her club dress. He realized he was getting in way to deep.

"What can I do for you?" he asked

"I'm worried about Cara and Maria. I think that girl who left with Sabertooth may have gotten to them."

"What makes you so sure? I mean to say, what makes you think that it was that girl not the two new guests or just the constant fighting."

"Well, this place lately seems to be a cross between a motel and a wrestling ring. Is it always this busy?" she asked smiling.

"Only every other week." he replied laughing.

Charles realized that he had never laughed as much as when he was with her. He enjoyed her company so much. He loved the way her dark blue eyes sparkled when she laughed. She understood him better then anyone else. She was also his match in power. He realized how empty his life would be when she left.

"What's wrong?" Amanda asked.

"Not using your powers?"

"With the hostile emanating from Rogue and Logan, no way. In fact I was wondering if you would like to take a walk. I want to discuss what I sensed from that girl and what happen when I was hooked up to Cerebro."

Charles thought about it for about two seconds.

"I would love to." he replied.

"Great let's go the back way through the woods, if your hoverchair will allow you. I can sense Cara and Maria out front and I think that they need some time to think."

"I'll be fine. My chair allows me to go most places that a wheelchair cannot."

Amanda smiled as she open the door. How he loved that smile. This walk may not have been a good idea, but as long as he was careful nothing would happen but an important discussion. He would not allow what happened before with Jonas to happen again, though Jonas did make a good chicken.

Not that Jonas would be a problem till later when he had those two separated. There was no way they would stay in that room together. He may be 'old', but he had not forgot what happens between two people in love. As he watched Amanda leave, he was well aware of what it felt like to be in love.

A.C.

Sammi smelled Logan and Rogue as they got closer to the club. Then she heard them. She looked at Jonas and said, "Their worried, but this may involve some yelling. Are you ready?"

"As I'll ever be." Jonas said hugging her tight as they started to land.

Sammi kissed him, and said,"For luck. We're gonna need it."

They landed, and Rogue and Logan came over to them. Logan looked as if he was going to kill them and Rogue looked as if she wanted details.

Unfortunately for Jonas and Sammi, Logan spoke first. "Where have you been? Did you even think of your friends?"

"What are you talking about? What happened?" Sammi asked getting worried after he mentioned their friends.

"Leilee had a run in with Sabertooth. And Cara and Maria met a girl that was friends with him, Sugar."

"WHAT?? Sabertooth was here?" Sammi asked as she started to feel like she let her friends down.

"Don't worry, sugar. Everyone's fine. Leilee just got the fright of her life but nobody got hurt." Rogue said putting her arms around Jonas and Sammi. She could tell that they were both worried about their friends.

"Yeah, they're fine this time, but what happens next time you two decide to go off?" Logan said still upset.

"Us. What about you? You leave without a word to anyone anytime you want. You are the last person to be yelling at me for wanting a few moments in all this maddness to be with someone I really care about. So don't you ever lay a guilt trip on me for going on my own.,Got that Logan!!!!" Sammi yelled.

She was worried about her friends, finally got some private time with Jonas out of dragon form, and now the man who ups and leaves on a regular basis is yelling at her about leaving. She was about to lose it, and not a good way. Jonas could tell she was getting really upset and started to hug her. She hugged him back.

Logan was stunned. No one ever brought up about him leaving before, and now a girl he just met a few days ago and started caring for like a daughter had finally made him see that every time he ran off, he was only thinking of himself.

"Sorry, darlin'. I was just worried, about ya. Can you forgive me?" Logan asked slowly patting her hand that was on Jonas's shoulder.

"I just want to go home and make sure everyone is OK. Then have a nice hot cup of coffee and relax. I do forgive you, Logan. I'm just so tired all of a sudden." Sammi said looking at Logan.

"Are you OK?" Jonas asked looking at her.

"I'm fine. Its just everything has got me on edge. First us dealing with Sabertooth and now Leilee. I just need to regroup myself and then I'll be fine." Sammi said looking into Jonas's eyes. "I promise I'll be fine." She said after she saw all the worry that his eyes held.

They all walked over to Logan's jeep, got in and headed home.

***************************************************************

~Back at the Mansion~

Sammi was sitting at the table with Jonas. She was looking at her coffee and holding his hand. All she wanted was to put everything out of her mind and then deal with it later when she had the strength.

"Tell me something to get my mind off of all of this. Tell me a story."Sammi said.

jubilee_79

"A story?" Jonas asked puzzled.

"Yeah." Sammi answered back.

/What kind of story?./ Jonas thought, thinking of something good to say.

"I'm not to good at that, but what do you want to hear."

"Anything, just something to get my mind of all of this." Sammi responded.

Jonas sat thinking for a moment, his face turned sad...

"What is it?" Sammi asked concerned.

"I was thinking about how empty my life was without you... before I came here." Jonas held on to her hand.

"I have no memory that compare to what I have here, right now... that don't lead to pain." A tear ran down his face.

Sammi was about to say something but Jonas put a finger on her lips.

"Please, listen... don't say anything."

He swallowed and continued.

"I don't have many friend's back home, none that I really care about."

"I lived with that, I was a loner... I had lived all my life in hospital, you don't make many friends there."

"And I learned the hard way that you must not get too attached to someone, you never know when they might leave... or die."

"That don't stop when you get out of that place, you find a new reason to continue to be that way."

"And it didn't matter that they sent a horde of psychiatrist your way to help you, you have been fooling doctors all your life."

"I have lived like this all my life, I tried to get out from that rock once or twice, but there is always someone standing there to hit me on the head with a hammer."

"Instead of hitting back I always crawled back under that stone."

"Now I end up in a dimension far from my own, and I find you, I stick out my head from under that rock of mine to see what is going on and you pull me out..."

"And the rest is history." Jonas paused.

"I know that this might not be the story that I intended, but... you have helped me sort out so many things, helped me clear out some ghost I have been caring around."

"Jonas..." Sammi tried

"When I first saw you in medlab, there was something about you... it took me a moment to see It." he smiled. "I guess you distracted me."

Jonas held her hand's tight.

"I want you to know, that what ever happens, where ever we and up, here or back home, or in another dimension for all I care... I will always love you." He said smiling.

===================

Cara finally felt better; her face was no longer tense, and Arac had taken a backseat...at least for the moment. But Cara was having the strangest feeling that she was being watched.

She turned around, but didn't see anyone there; she listened very closely, and heard a twig snap...

/Let's see...who do I know that can get around without being seen...Of course! It must be Maria!!!/ Cara thought with a touch of surprise.

"Maria? Is that you? If it is, please show yourself..." Cara spoke to the air.

Maria hesitated for a moment, then appeared. "Are you alright?" she asked Cara.

Cara seemed more like her normal self to Maria; the sparkle had returned to her eyes, and the sense of danger surrounding her had lessened...but Maria still worried about her...something was not right.

"I'm feeling better Maria...I'm sorry for snapping at you earlier...I don't know what's gotten into me." Cara said, smiling apologetically.

Cara looked back at the sea, then turned back to Maria.

"You know what I could go for right now?" Cara said with a grin, "A triple chocolate peanut butter shake...they're my speciality. Care to join me?"

==Baddie's Headquarters==

Monitors beeping, soft shallow breathing and quiet sobs were all that could be heard in the room. Ryan sat next to Victor's bed holding his hand trying to be comforting. It was hard for her she had never really had to do that for someone. Sinister did all that he could do for him and now it was a matter of his healing factor kicking in.

"They seemed so nice." Ryan spoke softly to herself in the room.

She was trying to sort things out in her head. She had finally sobered up and had a horrible hang over which didn't help the thinking process. Mystique had told her who those people were. Now she was confused. They were nice to her and she was happy... for a little while. She looked down to Victor resting in the bed. If he died then they would too.

"I'm so sorry", she whispered over and over again. ________

~Outside the room.~

"You know that is the first time I think that anyone has cried over Victor Creed." Mystique said looking at Sinister who was also watching the girl in the room.

Le Fae

==X-Mansion==

"I think she is finally waking up." Athena heard the voices before she saw the faces attached to them.

/What happened,/ she thought to herself. She opened her eyes to the same blue face that had caused her to faint in the first place.

That's when it came back to her. She had fallen out of a tree only to be greeted by what looked like Bobby Drake and Dr. Hank McCoy. Only it couldn't be them, they were comic book characters. "Someone is playing a really bad joke on me!"

Le Fae

Xavier and Amanda were in the midst of their walk when they sensed Jonas and Sammi return. Xavier had wanted to turn back, but Amanda had convinced him not to. She had distracted him by talking about Sinister's involvement and what she had picked up from Ryan. She was surprised how a feeling girl could become so bitter, but love and rejection could change a person. Xavier had agreed that they would call a meeting when everyone had calm down to discuss these developments.

Amanda was surprised at how good she felt. She was no longer upset or angry. She smiled as she looked at the reason why. Amanda knew what Jonas and Sammi were feeling. She was feeling it too, only she had pick an unlikely candidate for those emotions. Charles Xavier. He was so stoic and kinda all knowing. The X-men all looked up and admired him. Even Logan and Gambit, but they did their best to hide it. She knew he was the most unlikely person for her to love, but love him she did.

There in lies the problem, should she tell him. She had almost spilled it awhile ago. If Jonas hadn't interrupted she would had kissed him. She had been disappointed he hadn't come to the club, but that scene wasn't him. It was another reminder of their differences. Jonas and Sammi were different, but managed to connect. Maybe she should ask them for advice.

(Amanda?)

(Yes, Charles?)

(There is something I have to tell you, but I would prefer to have a normal conversation.)

"What is it, Xavier?" she asked

"I have to tell you this."

A.C.

In the kitchen, the two girls were creating a massive dessert. Maria had gotten out the ingredients as Cara made her triple chocolate peanut butter shakes.

Maria smiled as she also take out some cornbread and hotdogs to make her special Cornbread dogs to go with the shakes. "Cara, I know that you're not yourself. I mean being two people must've been a real difficulty."

"What do you mean?" Cara asked as her eyes grew cold.

"I mean, I read X-Factor and I read about all the problems that Jamie had with his personality. I thought that, well... something happened to you and I don't know. Maybe... we should get someone to look in your mind for anything wrong."

Maria Cline

Cara bit her lower lip and looked away from Maria...she was finally in a good mood, and all of this talk about her 'problem' was making her feel uneasy.

She turned back to Maria.

"There really isn't anything wrong with me...I just had an off day." she hedged, "There isn't any reason to--" she was cut short by the look on Maria's face.

Maria wasn't buying it...she was really worried about Cara.

Cara's face took on a beaten, tired look.

"Alright...if you feel it is necessary. Just please don't tell anyone...let me be the one to tell someone...I'll talk with Jean...but I would like to wait til tomorrow. I'm a little too tired tonight." Her eyes were pleading with Maria.

Maria looked at Cara...reluctantly, and against her better judgement, she agreed to let it wait until the following day.

Cara smiled a little, and said, "The shakes are done...Are your special Cornbread dogs ready?"

Maria nodded, she still had that dubious look on her face...but she handed one of the plates of food to Cara. Cara put the shakes on the table, and the two girls sat down, and ate the food in relative silence. No more was said about Cara's problem that night...

=====GARDEN=====

Xavier stopped speaking for a moment, and looked off into the distance...he knew what he wanted to say, but not quite how to say it. He cared deeply for this girl...this Woman; he didn't want to say anything which would chase her away.

As he was looking around the garden, attempting to gather his words, he spied a rosebush. On the rosebush was a single perfect red rosebud, not yet bloomed. Xavier smiled. He moved over to the rosebush, and plucked the rosebud; then turned back to Amanda and held out his hand.

Amanda walked over to Xavier, puzzled by his actions.

When she reached him, he looked up at her and smiled, then gave her the rose.

"This is a representation of our...friendship." he said, "May it be as perfect as this rose, with all of the potential for growth that it holds."

Rainfall

==JONAS==

It was a beautiful night, stars in sky, the wind blowing soft against the treetops...

Scott had talked with them about the room thing, but it was diverted by the fact that they were all to tired, so the discussion was dropped for the night.

Sammi was showering... Jonas on the other hand was not even in the room.

200 meters over the mansion, hovering in mid air, calm wind plowing past him, focused and relaxed... not a stray thought in his head, one with all the world.

It was incredible how easy this was... flying, if he didn't know better he could think that everyone could fly this way if they only knew how.

Something bothered him...

He had not been there for the team, they were ok... but as Logan said what about next time.

"Mind if ah *drop* in on ya." the voice scared him, last time he was surprised he almost died... never again.

He swung around ready to deliver a blow that would have knocked down a building at whoever was behind him... no one?

Someone grabbed him from behind. "Easy sugar, didn't mean to scare you."

Jonas calmed down... Rogue.

"Let me go... please." Jonas whispered, not in the mood to talk right now.

Rogue let go, carefully.

"Let me guess, ya are angry at yourself for not being there today, right?" Rogue said and was hovering beside him.

"Yeah, I mean... Leilee could have been killed, that guy is nuts, I could not live with myself if..."

"Ya know, Logan was ready to explode when he realized that ya two skipped out." Rogue said grinning and trying to get his mind off his troubles.

Jonas smiled...

"Sooooo?" Rogue tried smiling wide.

"So what?" Jonas tried to act innocent.

"Ah wanna know, where did ya two end up?" She pushed him to the side.

"Empire State Building." Jonas said and grinned. "I know, I know... it's not the most romantic place on the planet... but it was private..." he sighed.

"Or so I thought." Jonas frowned.

"What do ya mean?" Rogue said and looked at him puzzled.

"Well Spidey decided to drop in on us... I guess I should get back, I didn't tell Sammi I was getting out, I don't wanna make her worried."

"See you tomorrow, ok?"
