David and Logan. Erik and John. Bobby. All rattling around inside her. Five voices shouldn't be so loud.

It was off-balance, five of them against one of her.

One kiss with David and he was still in her head now, a faded voice asking over and over why she was hurting him.

Logan was still strong -- she always found herself a little surprised when she didn't heal magic-quick after she'd been hurt. Erik was still powerful, always questioning everything that she trusted, that she believed.

And now she had Bobby and John.

She hadn't realized just how much Bobby liked her until that kiss. Not just wanting to touch the untouchable, but also wanted to spend time with her. To laugh together and be a couple. Bobby was the guy that any mother would be happy to have her daughter date. Kinda ironic, considering.

Ironic but, yeah, sweet. She'd never had sweet in her head before.

David had been terrified. Logan... wasn't sweet. He was a great guy, but sweet wasn't anywhere near the right word for him. As for Erik... she should've killed him before he'd taken off with John.

John was bravado covering fear and pain. His voice added to the questions that filled her mind from dawn to dusk.

The worst part? Not one of them knew how to shut up.
