More Than Just a Four Letter Word
Authors Note: Sorry it took so long for this chapter. I hope you all aren't mad at me. Thank you for those reviews. You don't realize how important they are to me. Anyway I've been trying to figure out how to do this chapter. It's gonna be a real short one, but a good one. I promise the next one will be longer.

Chapter 2: Saying 'Thank You' is Hard When You Think You Hate That Person
Antoine paced up and down the floor of the hospital of the village that their group was staying in. He couldn't believe that it was her and why she would do something so ridiculous. He breathed a sigh, sat down on the hard wooden seats and pondered the night's events.
He and the others were awakened in the middle of the night by a loud crash and they had both to ran to see what it was. Of course it was Bunnie's aircraft. It had almost landed right on top of the house they were staying in. When Antoine had gone to inspect the crash the last thing he expected was to find Bunnie unconscious at he controls. Afraid that she might be seriously injured he picked her up and hurried over to hospital. The doctors were shocked to have him come in so late, but when they saw Bunnie they quickly took her to the ER.
Antoine looked up at the nearest clock. It read 8:16 am. That meant that he had been there a little over eight hours. He knew she was in bad shape by the looks of her but he also knew that many doctors had never had to work on a patient that was partially robotic.
Antoine let out another sigh and looked towards the ER doors. Finally one of the doctors walked out. Antoine could tell by the look in his eyes he was exhausted but seemed pleased.
'I 'ope zat eez a good sign.' Antoine thought.
"Doctaire, eez she alright?" Antoine asked worriedly.
The doctor shook his head and smiled comfortingly at him.
"Yes lad, she'll be fine. She may be cooped up a while in bed but she'll live." the doctor answered in a brogue Scottish accent.
Antoine shook his hand,
"Zank you very much."
The doctor waved him off,
"Ah, think nothing of it laddie. Oh, she is awake now and in her own room if you want to see her, but please don't wear her out or she may be in bed longer, eh."
Antoine nodded his head at him as her walked to her room.
'And zee others think my accent eez bad?' Antoine thought as he walked down the hall.
When he reached her door all his previous thoughts vanished and were replaced by an uncertainty he did not know. What should he say to her? They hardly spoke since they broke up and when they did it was always hateful and/or spiteful. What in the world would he say? What would she say? His face grew stern suddenly. It quickly became clear to him that it didn't matter to him any more one way or another and he walked through the door.
Bunnie looked up at him as he walked through the door. He almost stopped dead in his tracks at the look on her face. It was one of sorrow and at he same time humbleness. Antoine's façade dropped a little as he sat down in the chair beside her bed. They sat in an uncomfortable silence for almost 15 minutes. Neither one of them could look the other in the eye.
Finally Bunnie broke the silence.
"Thank you sugar, for bringing me here. That was ………"
"No no, zink nothing of eet Bunnie. You are a friend after all."
Antoine interrupted .
Bunnie stared even harder at the blankets on the bed. She spoke again softer,
"I guess I need to rest a while, huh?"
Antoine stood and bowed a little,
"Of course. I will leave you to rest and will be back later with their majesties."
Antoine turned and left the room.
Bunnie watched him go, then laid down on the bed. A lonely tear slid down her cheek as she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Awww. Isn't that sad? No ? well fine then :shrugs:
I hope you all enjoyed it. I also hope it wasn't rushed. I tried to take my time with it and I'm sorry if the grammar and English is off a little. I try not to be but sometimes it's hard to remember what you learn in class. I hope you don't mind that I focused more on Antoine this chapter. The attention will be on Bunnie more in the next chapter. Thank you to those who have reviewed my story .
God Bless
