Yes it is me again, I'm back finally! This chapter was kind of fun to write I hope you all enjoy.

I don't own the X-men nor the song "October" I really do wish I did but I DON'T, how sad.  In case you don't know who does own them…. it would be Marvel and Evanescence………

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


My only hope,
(All the times I've tried)
My only peace,
(To walk away from you)
My only joy,
My only strength,
(I fall into your abounding grace)
My only power,
My only life,
(And love is where I am)
My only love.



High up in the maple tree Remy sat watching Rogue sleep peacefully below.  For two weeks, two whole agonizing weeks he had tried to stay away from her.  He knew something was troubling her and he had hoped that she would confide in him but instead she was avoiding him.  He didn't know what he had done to make her act that way and if he did he would have apologized but she obviously didn't want to talk to him. He was hurt that she didn't want to be around him but more than anything he was worried about her. He really had tried to stay away, he just couldn't.  Since the night she had left him so suddenly he had followed her almost everywhere just to make sure she was ok.  Lately she seemed totally oblivious to anything happening around her.  Whenever he could he had made sure she stayed out of harms way. 

This afternoon he had finally made up his mind to come find her to talk to her.  He wanted to know what was wrong and what he had done to make her mad.  As he watched from his perch he remembered what had happened this afternoon. *He had seen her out in front of the bookstore talking with Kitty. He had been watching her for a while but when he started walking towards her she noticed him and he stopped in his tracks.  She looked so startled when she saw him she froze for all of a second and then a look of determination came into her eyes and she forced herself into action.  She took the keys to the car and threw them at Kitty telling her she could drive and then she dove into the passenger's seat.  The look of shock  on her face was all that kept him from moving from where he had stood watching them.* After seeing her in town he made his way up to the institute grounds and waited for her in the maple tree. He was sure she would come; she had everyday for the past few weeks.

He waited until she had been asleep for a while before deftly making his way down the tree. Night had already settled and a light breeze chilled the air he could tell that she was shivering but he didn't want to wake her up she looked so serene.  He took off his coat and covered her with it then he settled down near her.  He softly traced the features of her face with a gloved finger.  "Chere y' so beautiful, Remy jus wish y' knew it" he whispered.  There were a lot of things he wished that she knew about, things that he hadn't been able to tell her yet.  Ah chere y' everthin to Remy.  Remy be at peace when he's with y'.  Y' give 'im strength, y' make 'im happy.  T'morrow always looks better when he sees it through y' eyes. Y' jus don't know dat do y' chere. Maybe it be time dat Remy told y' dat he never felt dis way before.  Y' it y' his everything. 

He looked up at the moon, a thin silvery crescent; it looked so fragile just like Rogue but then some appearances were deceiving.  The moon might be a tiny sliver right now but it would soon grow full, it had been in the sky forever and it probably always would be, it was determined to keep circling the earth. Just like Rogue full of determination, she might look vulnerable to him right now but he knew better he remembered seeing the fire in her eyes, her strength.  It was beyond him how she thought that no one could love her, when he had since the first time he saw her.  All he wanted was to be near her, to see her smile, to hear her voice. If de chere think Remy gonn' let her go dat easily she got another thing comin'. Remy not gonn' let her run from 'im no more. "Mmhmm Remy got it bad" he murmured then he laughed to himself.  Looking back down at Rogue's sleeping form he tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled. He wondered what she was dreaming about, if he was in her dreams. "Chere I love y'" he said.  There Remy said it out loud to bad his chere be asleep.

He looked around again and decided it was time to wake Rogue up before it got too late.  He wanted to talk before he walked her back the mansion.  He slowly reached over to wake her, he touched her face once more before taking her shoulder to shake her gently.  "Chere" he said "chere it be time t' wake up."
