Authors note (AN): ok this is a fair warning about what you'll encounter while reading my fanfic. 1 there is violence in it, 2 there is bad language in it, 3 yes there are a lot of mature audiences only. If you have no clue to what I'm talking about, well you'll see when you read my story. Oh and before I forget! Biker Mice From Mars isn't mine it belongs to the person(s) that created them which doesn't include me!!! Which means Throttle, Modo, Vinnie, and Charley and any bad guys from BMFM aren't mine for those of you with a slow mind, or are just incredible tired (I hear ya on that!!). All other characters are mine and I would like it if you ask me first before using them in any of your stories!! I will gratefully let you use them, just so long as I get some credit, cool? Cool!!

A quick thought on world events.

I sincerely hope that all of the soldiers from all over can come back to their families and loved ones, and all who have lost their lives find peace at last in their true home in heaven. I hope this war can come to an end soon and that both sides can reach an agreement with out sending more people to their uncalled for deaths. May God Bless both sides by stopping this war. And for those of you who may think I'm in the wrong for some reason or another, think what you will, but I'm an American. And all I want is peace, for both sides. This is my opinion. Thank you and let Freedom's Ring sound soon for peace.

Chapter 7: Thoughts

He look up at the ceiling eyes slightly glazed over as he blinked carefully every few seconds, looking as if, he were to take his eyes away from the ceiling it wouldn't be there and he would be faced with nothing but the open sky above. A beautiful morning sky, peaceful, but still horrifying if it meant she wouldn't be there with him. His mind began to wander as he heard her footsteps moving towards her bathroom, music slowly coming on. He smiled a little before letting it fall of his lips. Hopefully she wouldn't be angry with him for taking off the alarm from her clock. After last night he only wanted her to get a good nights rest.

Last night. 'What exactly had happened last night?' he thought to himself. It was raining, heavily and thundering too. And thanks to his sensitive ears he had heard a sob escape those soft lips. 'Wait a minute' he again subconsciously said to himself. He gave a soft ragged sigh letting it escape him, 'soft lips, her lips. She had been crying; and had the thunder not stopped for a moment he wouldn't have heard it.'

He began to think about how she looked when he first came upon her in her bed. She was in a fetal position eyes closed in restless sleep with pearl like tears caressing her cheeks.

All at once he felt a swarm of robust emotions filling him quickly in a manner he had never felt before in his life. He felt a vast anger for the person who had done that to Charlene, to his Charlene. He also felt a great sense of uncertainty, that for the first time in his life he was not the first one jumping head first off a cliff and then looking how far the bottom was. No he was actually thinking things out thoroughly, so thoroughly it was beginning to scare him. Never in his life had he ever had to do this.

Sure their were the occasional few times but they were shortly after solved by one of his bro's or by Stoker. Never by himself, or so he felt was the situation. Sure his friends would help him, he thought looking over at their sleeping forms next to him. They would with out question because this was Charley he was talking about. But, for some reason he wanted to be the one to solve this problem. He wanted to be the one she came to when she needed comforting. He wanted. he wanted her to need him. To want him, no. not just want him, but, to love him.

There, finally it had come out, it had finally been able to push past his stubborn pride and mixed emotions of uncertainty. But. did she love him? Could she love him? Or did she only think of him as just one of the guys, one of her friends, or a brother. or worst did she just totally loathe him and only put up with him because of the others? No. of course not. He pushed that thought aside. She could never loathe him, he had known her now for too long to know how she would react if she hated him. And from the past few days she had shown another side of herself to him, one he only thought he'd see in his dreams, a side that was the total opposite of loathing.

Before he could continue on with his thoughts he became aware of the music coming from the upstairs bathroom. The song 'Closer' was playing. He couldn't help but give a little smirk then continue on with his thoughts. But before any of that could happen he heard a soft boom like sound come from upstairs. As if someone had just fallen.down! Before the other mice could blink the sleep from their eyes he shot up from the couch and ran up the stairs.

As he came up to her door he forced the bathroom door open and quickly looked around. He found Charlene sitting down besides the tub breathing in heavily, the floor a little messy and her forehead beginning to form a bump and bruise. He could have almost sighed in relief if it wasn't for the look in her eyes, a look of disbelief and, fear.

AN: Ok I'm really, really sorry it took so long just to get this short of a chapter out but I've had a very, very, VERY busy month! I have a play coming up that I'm in the Orchestra pit for (I'm playing my clarinet) around one hundred some pages of music. And I still mess up on some of the sharps in the songs and the play is this Friday!!! Oh well I'll just have to really practice hard, and I also have early morning band tomorrow. I'm at school at 7:00am till 6:00pm cuz of after-school play practice. Oh gosh I better just stop whining cuz I love band. ^_^

It's 10:01pm (3-24-03) right now and I really felt inspired to finish this chapter right after I read the story 'An unexpected love' by Eowyn (rated R) (It's a great story and I suggest you go read it!! It's in the Lord of the rings section)

Anyway I'm working on chap 8 right now too and I'm trying to see if Casey Toh or my friend, Jasmine will Beta for me. So this will be the last un- betaed chapter for me hopefully. No more spelling/ grammar mistakes (hopefully!)

I'll see you all soon, hopefully maybe in three weeks or so! ^_-

Check ya later CAtz!!!
