Cat2fat900-LOL. Thanks, but you will just have to wait and see. ;-) but if you really do enjoy the thought of Scott getting hurt, you will enjoy this chapter, at least I hope so.

El diablo- Thanks, glad to hear it.

FRIENDS

The bath really did do Remy some good. He was in less pain and more limber. But when he left the bathroom, he found Anna had fallen asleep on her bed. He smiled at this and quietly made his way over to her. Remy gently pulled one of her white streaks from her face in order to get a better look at the girl before him. Still asleep she turned slightly and then he noticed something that she had in her hand had fallen onto the floor. He bent down and picked up the crumbled note. It was Scott's note that came with the flowers. All Remy could see was red. He looked back down at Anna once more before leaving the room and shutting the door behind him.

Remy made his way downstairs and found a phone. He knew the numbers by heart, pounding them into the phone furiously and pacing as it rang. Then finally, "Yeah?" a gruff voice answered.

"Logan?" he asked as he sat down on the sofa.

"Who else would it be Gumbo?" Remy chuckled.

"Just as charming as ever mon ami?" his only response was a grunt. But after a moment he asked his own question. "Where were you today? Didn't see you 'round the school or anything."

"So ya actually went for once?" he asked sarcastically. The guy on the other line grunted again.

"Gotta make an appearance every once in a while. What do you want anyway?"

"Need a favor."

"Since when?" he asked a little bit annoyed. Then he spoke up before Remy could answer, "I told you no more favors after the last time you got me into a mess." Remy sighed and briskly rubbed his fingers through his hair.

"It be important Logan."

"Really? If it's for a girl, count me out." he answered annoyed.

"Come'on Logan, dis one special." he heard him laugh, but then the gruff voice asked, "Aren't they all?"

"Non, seriously. Look just hear Remy out, den turn him down." a grunt was his reply.

"Da femme, she bein' harassed by good ol' Scott. Just thinkin' maybe ya could help Remy seein' how you enjoy his company 'bout as much as he do. 'Sides, dat femme, she be new in school, but she already good friends wit Jean." There was silence between the two until, finally Logan gave his answer.

"Alright, but if anything goes wrong, it's on your head, bub." Remy smirked.

"Just make sure all de hommes ready. Gonna need whoever ya can get." once again, grunting in reply as both hung up the phone.

"Who was that?" Remy turned to see Anna making her way down the stairs towards him.

"Nobody. How ya sleep chere?" she yawned and stretched.

"Didn't know Ah was so tired." he watched her intently, enjoying the thoughts running through his head over what to do about Scott.

"Ya feelin' any bettah?" He stood up and made his way over to her, and in a low voice replying, "Dat bath did da trick. Too bad ya couldn't help Remy in dere. Could'a used da help." she laughed at him.

"Right. Lahke ya just didn't call one of ya many girls ta come ovah and help ya with that." She turned away from him and went to the refrigerator searching for a snack.

"Non, ya be da only femme Remy wants ta nurse him back ta health." But as soon as he finished his sentence, there was a knock on the door.

"Now who on Earth could that beh?" she asked quietly as she made her way to the door. But Anna was definitely surprised at who it was.

"Scott." Remy grimaced at the sound of his name, and made his way over to Anna, wanting to make his presense known.

"Anna, I just came to check on you after this afternoon. I'm sorry I was so...forward." She smiled innocently as Scott smiled at her gently. But as soon as Remy stood behind her, Scott looked up and his expression dropped. He turned back to Anna.

"What's he doing here?" he asked her through gritted teeth. She turned around to see Remy and then noticed the two rearing for a fight.

"He's mah friend Scott." she told him plainly. "Do ya have a problem with that?" He wouldn't answer though. Finally Scott backed down and slightly grinned at his handy work.

"So was it that bad that you couldn't come to school Remy?" Remy however didn't answer, but wouldn't back down any either. He just stood there.

"Scott." Anna placed a hand on his chest. Scott looked down at this and smiled. "Ah think ya should go." Anna pushed him back slightly and closed the door between the two of them. But Scott was able to see Remy smirk and wave at him before she closed the door. She waited a minute to make sure Scott had left, then she turned around and leaned against the door and sighed. Remy watched her, but misunderstood her body language and put his hands on the door, blocking her escape, pulled her chin up to meet his gaze and kissed her. Just as he was about to deepen the kiss she shoved him away from her. He winced, since she accidently pushed on some of his bruises, which she felt bad for but wasn't about to let him turn this around on her.

"What was that all 'bout?" she growled out at him pointing at the door. He looked her over a bit amused, "Dat be a kiss. Thought ya remember dat." She took a deep breath and then proceeded to ask, "Scott?" but he merely shrugged.

"No, ya not getting out'a this. Ya can't just kiss meh and expect meh ta fall all over ya lahke ya lil all girl's fan club. What did he mean?" Anna was getting very annoyed very fast, and all he did was make it worse when he did nothing but walk away. She knew what he meant, but she needed to know if it was the truth. She calmed herself down just a little bit and then asked, "It was Scott, wasn't it? That's whay ya here. He did that ta ya?" He froze with his back to her, but refused to answer, even though that was the only answer he needed.

"But whay? Is he what ya wanted ta protect meh from at school?" he still didn't move. She walked up behind him and put her hand gently on his shoulder.

"Remy, please tell meh." He turned around to face her, but unwilling to admit anything. He ran his fingers down the side of her face, smiling gently at her and then ran his thumb across her lips.

"You really are tres belle chere." he whispered to her. But she was also unwilling to give up.

"Whay Remy? Whay did it happen?" He just stared at her. Then she picked up on everything. Sure she was smart enough to pick up on everything else until now. 'How did Ah not see this? Ah thought we were friends. Ah thought he only saw meh as a challenge. Ah thought him kissing meh was just a pass time until he could get to the next girl. Ah nevah really thought that he would, does he? Ah left him with Scott in the park, alone. Oh no. It was meh.' She pushed away from him shaking her head, tears making their way down her cheeks. He just stood there, watching her break down.

"Chere?" he asked her gently. But she barely heard him and took off as fast as her legs could take her up to her room.

"Anna." he called out to her as he tried to catch up to her.
