I don't know why Tori came by.......

"'Ro?" Remy seemed puzzled that Ororo came calling early in the morning. He knew she
woke early, but not this early.
"Hello, Remy."
She had explained all of it to him the night before. How lost she was, and what Forge had
said. He welcomed her into his room but she remained at the doorway. His eyes danced over her,
took in her tan coat, leather gloves and Jackie-O sunglasses. She looked freshly pressed, and
grown up, but there was something in her eyes that made her seem all of six years old.

But I could see by the look in her eyes
Tori'd been drivin' around the town for awhile
Playin' with the thought of leavin'.......

"Ya already packed?" she startled at the fact that he knew what she was thinking, but then
again he always knew what she was thinking.
She simply nodded. The air hissed out from in-between his teeth and his gaze penetrated
her soul.
"Did ya tell 'im?"
She handed him an envelope, written in crystal blue ink, and her curly letters spelled out
one word. Logan.
It was a relief to Ororo that she never had to explain anything to Remy. He never asked
too many questions, he just understood. Her mind didn't puzzle him, and he knew when to push.
He hated the fact that she wanted to leave this all behind, but he comprehended that she
needed to go. She was desperate to find herself, and eventually that desperation would swallow
her soul.

I don't know why Tori just smiled
Mentioned somethin' about how you were right

A placid smile broke across her undaunted, otherwise expressionless face.
"The one person," she whispered, "who knew me best, and understands me the most, will
always be you, Remy. But Logan saw how confused I was. Understood the whirlwind that had
overtaken my mind. He'll know why I'm leaving. He'll understand."
"Then tell 'im face ta face."
"I can't. I tried. I went to his door, but if I see him I will never have the nerve to leave
here. I won't want to leave him. I won't want to leave here. And I must."

Must have been hard to see through the tears she was hidin'......

He took her in a tight embrace and held her close to his warm, lean form for the last time.
He tried to memorize her smell. Eucalyptus and lavender. She carried that scent since he had met
her. He used all his energy to remember how she looked. He wanted to remember his best friend.
She had to become an engraving in his mind. He had lost too many people in the depths of his
memory, and he would not loose her.

She said I might not be seein' him soon
I've got a few things I've been waitin' to do
Hey Tori came by
Tori came by tonight
Hey Tori came by
She says to say goodbye........

"Will you give him this letter, Remy?"
"Of course, ma belle." Something was lodged in his throat and his normally smooth,
accented voice escaped in a quiet, raspy tone. "How you gonna get outta here?"
"Broke into my savings. Bought one of those little silver beetle cars." A smile flashed
across her face and he saw a single tear emerge from under her large lenses and run down her
cheek. Her fingers hastily wiped it away, almost as if she was embarrassed that he should see her
cry.

Looked outside at the car in the drive
And the suitcase on the backseat inside
Sure it's so she can't look out behind at the road.....

He watched her walk to her car and open the door. They had made it here together. It was
the first home either of them had ever had and she was the only family he'd ever really had. She
looked up at him and blew a single kiss his way. He smiled at her from behind the large, fogged
window and his eyes saddened to see her car drive away.

She said I might not be seein' him soon
I've got a few things I've been waitin' to do
Hey Tori came by tonight
Hey Tori came by
She says to say goodbye

"This is all she left, Cajun?"
"Oui, mon ami. She didn't know who she was. You knew that. She knew you
understood."
Logan had spent hours reading and re-reading the ten page letter Ororo had left him. His
blue eyes seemed to ask Remy the same question over and over again as the scanned the pages.
Why? But Logan knew. He was completely aware of this weakness in her. This vulnerability.
Her confusion. He was the one who originally suggested that she find herself.
"Mon ami, she needs ta know. Needs to have some time, but Ah know she'll be back. She
loves you. She didn' wanna leave ya. She got a big heart and it won' let her be away long."

Don't look down she seemed alright
You might be askin' where is Tori tonight
Somewhere out on the highway
I'm sure that she's fine.
