My Fake Fiancee Chapter 14: Brother Boss, a hamtaro fanfic

Chapter Fourteen: Brother Boss

I'm sorry that Andre is engaged to Bijou, but that's the way the story works. Anyways, here's Chapter Fourteen.

**********Boss's Hospital Room**********

The second day that Boss was admitted into the hospital, the Hams were sick from worrying. They impatiently followed the Nurse to Boss's room, and did not like what they saw.

Boss was laying unconsciously on the bed. He was practically in a coma, but the Nurse insisted that he was well. Bijou felt knots in her stomach. "This iz all my fault." she kept repeating to herself.

"Could we have a moment alone with our friend?" Hamtaro asked the Nurse.

The Nurse carefully scanned her mind to see if it was really safe to leave a Ham in a very critical unstable condition unauthorized, but she saw the love that the Hams had for Boss in their eyes. (AN: That was no doubt corny) The Nurse nodded her head in acceptance as she walked out of the room.

Bijou went up to Boss first. She took her hand in his, and she said, "My big brother! You cared for me so much that you could not stand to see me live a unhappy life. I owe you my life. After all the things that you have done for me, I think zat it iz fair to say you will always have a special place in my heart. You are my big brother, you will always be my big brother. You were a guardian for me when I was weak. You were like a coat: a beacon of warmth and safety amongst the coldness of hate and terror. My savior, that's what you were." she cried as she knelt down on her knees still keeping his hand succumbed in hers, "Most people dream of having someone like you, but I don't dream. I give thanks for someone as loving and nurturing as you. I can't stand to see you like this! It iz not fair what you are going through on my behalf. I should be the one laying there. Well, I won't let your care for me go to waste. Because you have made such a big sacrifice for me, I must make one as well. I will..... I will.... I will marry Andre."

A large gasp swept over all the Hams.

"Bijou, what are you doing?" Hamtaro asked as calm as his voice would let him, "Boss wouldn't want you to do this, I wouldn't, the rest of the Hams wouldn't."

Bijou looked to Hamtaro, then to Boss "None of us Hams would want to see Boss like this either." She simply stated as part of her radiant skin color started to slip away.

Hamtaro took a step back from Bijou and watched as she played with Boss's hand.

"I must leave.... I have a wedding to plan." Bijou stated in an almost robotic like tone as the weak smile faded from her face.

"Zarling, you don't want to marry Andre, zoo you?"

"I must do what iz right before anybody else gets hurt."

"But Bijou-" Hamtaro said, but was cut off.

"Hamtaro?" Bijou asked as she stood up to leave.

"You're better than that, you're better than him."

Bijou did nothing but hurry out the room, Hamtaro following.

**********The Dirt Road**********

"BIJOU!!!!" Hamtaro called as she ran to the villa.

"ZOO NOT TRY TO STOP ME. I have made up mind." she called back as her voice faded.

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat, but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give fate a fighting chance

"Come on!" Hamtaro said as he rolled his eyes "You don't have to do this."

"Yes I zoo." and Bijou picked up her speed and started competing to get to the villa before Hamtaro could say anything else.

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance, I hope you dance

**********The Hall Outside Bijou's Room**********

"Bijou, open this door." Hamtaro demanded as he waited impatiently.

"I'm not done yet." she answered.

"What're you doing in there?"

"Something, it iz none of your business." she responded, wondering if she had made the right choice.

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances, but they're worth taking
Loving might be a mistake but it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out, reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance

**********Bijou's Room**********

Bijou sat on her bed, in her wedding dress. Yes, this whole time she had been putting the cursed dress on.

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance (time is a wheel in constant motion always)
I hope you dance (rolling us along)
I hope you dance (tell me who wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
I hope you dance (where those years have gone)

She sported no makeup, nor donned any jewelry, and despite her diminishing color, she beamed.

She looked like a princess. Her gown cascaded down her graceful body, and her cape swept most of the floor. Her emerald eyes highlighted the dress's elegant flow. The diamonds in the veil glistened as she moved. The sunflowers woven into the top were beautiful, but were wilting ever so slowly, just like her. The silk of the gloves adorned her slender fingers all the way up to her elbows.

"Wow" she breathed as she took a look at herself in the mirror "This dress is amazing."

"Bijou open up!!" she heard Hamtaro cry as he banged on the door.

Still sitting on the bed, she whispered "Mrs. Andre"

"Bijou open up!!!!" Hamtaro still called.

"Mrs. Hamtaro..." she whispered to herself.

"Bijou, what the heke are you doing in there?" Hamtaro asked.

Bijou started crying. "Coming." she replied as she got control of her tears.

She opened the door to find an angry Hamtaro, turn amazed.

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean.
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens.
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance.
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

"Come in." she ordered.

"You look.... where'd you get that dress anyway?" he asked making a cherry look pale.

"Closet." she simply responded.

"I'm sorry I couldn't have been a better fiancée." he apologized as he leaned on the doorway.

Bijou looked at him, then started fidgeting with the contents on her vanity.

"You zid your best."

"But that didn't fool Andre."

"But still...."

"Soooooooo....."

"So what?" Bijou asked.

"You're really going through with this, aren't you?"

"Yes."

"Can I change your mind, or at least try?"

"No, I want to marry Andre because I want to do the right thing."

"But is promising yourself a terrible life with Andre considered doing the right thing?"

"I zon't know, and I ........ (gulp) zon't care. All I know iz that I have to correct my wrong doings."

"Are you sure?"

"I've said it enough times, haven't I?" her dead tone asked.

"Fine, believe that you want to ruin your life, and believe that that's the right thing to do, but don't forget this." and Hamtaro held up his pinky.

Bijou didn't answer. Instead, she gave him a strange look. There was really no word that could describe it. It called for help, yet it also demanded for Hamtaro to leave.

Hamtaro left, taking the "get out" part of Bijou's look, but he didn't forget the "help me" part of it just yet.

"But Bijou, don't forget about Boss. He wouldn't want you to do this." Hamtaro reminded as he walked out of the room, and out of the villa, and possibly out of Bijou's life if she didn't do something fast.

**********The Corridors**********

Bijou stepped out into the hallways.

I hope you dance (time is wheel in constant motion always)
I hope you dance (rolling us along)
I hope you dance (tell me who wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
I hope you dance (where those years have gone)

"If I get married to Andre, Hamtaro, you'll always have a special place in my heart as the silly boy."

****************************************

Awwww, how sweet. But we mustn't forget that Bijou is now AGREEING to marry Andre because she feels guilty. The end of the story is coming soon, but not just yet. What will be the outcome? Will Hamtaro and Bijou get together in the end? Only time will tell.
