Time to continue just because I was a cruel writer and left it too much of a cliffhanger with the last chapter. I might as well be nice and bring a new chapter faster and longer, I hope. We'll see how the longer thing works out. Anyways, thanks for the reviews. I love hearing from you.
Remy's mind was working at a mile a minute. Half of his thoughts were centered around winning Cally over, not forcing her to dump Lance, but to pick Remy over Lance. This, when Remy thought about it again, would be forcing her to choose. He knew that she had liked him in the past, but how much effort could it really take to win her back. A lot, he reminded himself. She was with Lance, and that 80s wannabe was many things, but he was not a quitter. He would not give Cally up on anyone's terms but his own.
The other half of Remy's thoughts were on leaving. He knew that was the right thing to do. Hell, it was exactly what he should do. But he felt as though he couldn't. For one, he couldn't stand being away from Cally anymore. He had left for only a month or two, but he couldn't spend another day away from her while thinking he might not come back. He wasn't sure whether she would be sad to see him go, but he figured she would, considering the way she acted when he arrived. She had been ecstatic to see him, he could see it in her eyes when she had first seen him. He wanted that look back in Cally's eyes, so he knew he had to stay. There was no doubt about that. His mind was torn, he honestly couldn't think of what to do. He was caught with no way out in the foreseeable future.
Remy would wait, plan his next move carefully and patiently, which he figured could be very hard, being himself.

Cally pushed Lance back just slightly. "Hey, we're done working on the car. I know we rarely get alone time, but we've got the dance thing tomorrow and I think the guys will be getting curious as to what we've been doing this whole time.
Lance sighed, truly not wanting to return to the house with the group of pervs. Well, at the moment there was only two because he honestly didn't count Gambit because he had never actually caught Gambit staring at Cally making out with Lance. But as soon as Lance saw him staring, Gambit would be counted, too. Of course, Fred was out of town for once, so he was no worry to Lance whatsoever. "Fine, let's go," Lance said, backing up from Cally to let her lead back into the house. Her hips still swished seductively, almost drawing him into her. He came up to her side, snaking an arm around her waist lightly as they walked to the house.

Remy started walking down the stairs to get back to the rec room, but turned around as soon as he heard Lance's and Cally's voices. He couldn't handle being in the same room as those two while his emotions were still so raw. Remy turned around, headed back up the stairs. Remy had to get out of the house. And so, he would find a way. He walked back into his room. He didn't slam the door, but instead closed it extremely quietly, pulled on his jacket, which he had taken off earlier, and opened his window silently. He hopped out of the window quickly and landed gently on the ground even though he just jumped out a second story window. He bent his knees expertly, absorbing the energy from his landing. He smiled slightly and ran. Ran to his bike and drove off into the setting sun, hoping to find something fun to do in the broken down town.

Cally and Lance sat in the rec room. Lance was on the couch with Cally on his lap, as usual. She was still looking as gorgeous as she had earlier in the day, but she looked a little unhappy when she didn't see Remy in the room. Well, she'd just have to live for now. She'd go up and see him later. She just wanted to make sure that everything was ok.
"So, Cally. You ready for the dance?" Lance asked, nudging her out of her thoughts by popping his knee up slightly.
Cally turned to him in a daze. "Oh, yeah," she replied after a few seconds. "I'm totally ready."
And I'm going to end it there because I was supposed to be in bed a half hour ago according to the 'rents. I'll try and have a new chapter up tomorrow, but no promises. But I'll definitely have a new one up by the end of the weekend. Thank you all for reading.
