The second Chapter! Disclaimer: I own nothing!

'Chère, where ya' going…?' Remy's psyche asked softly as she padded down the street.

"Away Remy, far away. I need to clear my head..." Rouge laughed softly to herself, "or cut out my heart…" She entered the hotel. When she reached her room, she was weary to her soul and her heart was barely beating.

'Rouge, Mon Coeur, Remy…I need to tell you something.' Rouge nodded mentally and the story began.

"I'm going ta' talk very carefully, so that you understand every word I say. We clear Chère?' Rouge said nothing and the psyche continued.

' I love you with all of my heart, but there are things in this life that you don't understand. Things about me…that I was afraid to tell you. Things that you need to kow about me and what's happening.'


Hey there Delilah
What's it like in new York city
I'm a thousand miles away
but girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Time square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

'When I was adopted by the LeBeau family, a deal was made. It was supposed to end a hundred years of war; the deal was that I would marry the daughter for the Assassin guild, Belladonna Bordeaux. At first I didn't understand what it meant. When I got a little older I didn't mind marrying Bella, she was beautiful and smart, a little cold, but her looks more than made up for it. By the time I was eighteen and the wedding was hanging over my head…I knew I could never marry her. She hated my entire family and me. She was a cold woman; I'd have cuddled up to an iceberg in the middle of the artic before marrying her, so I ran. I ran to Magneto and I ran to you…'

Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side

'You opened my eyes. Made me realize that it was okay to love, that it was you I wanted to spend my life with. I left Magneto's team with the treat of death looming over me, but your pretty eyes and sassy attitude had me so enthralled I didn't notice. It was going to spend the rest of my life right beside you, I was, I am, ready to settle down in your arms, but I got a message from my father. He said that the assassins had killed my cousin Etienne and that they were coming for my family. I couldn't let that happen. So I left, with all intention of returning to you. When I got home, I realized that there was no chance of that happening.

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

' I married Bella three weeks after I got home, the whole time her brother Julien was holding a gun to my back. Right after the wedding Bella left. I figured that if she could leave I could leave…but I was wrong. Bella and her brother had captured my sister-in-law, Mercy, and my Brother Henri. Bella told me that if I double crossed her, if I looked at another woman, if I even left the house without her permission she'd kill them.

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

'Storm contacted me about a year into my 'marriage' and told me how you were doing. It broke my heart to know that you were hurting. I knew how you felt because I was feeling the same things. I sent Wolverine the money with a note attached to it. I didn't want to sent it to Storm because I knew she wouldn't understand. Wolverine, he may not like me, but he is much smarter and more understanding than he let's on. I knew that I could never tell you how much I loved you or how much I wanted to be there, so I did my best to see that you were taken care of.

Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

"There is not a person in the history or future of the universe. Nor is there a person living now, who has loved as deeply as I have. Who loves as deeply as I do, or will love you as deeply as I will.

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

'Before I meet you I was fine with living my life, alone and without love. You changed that. You are a bright stroke of color in a dull grey world. I know that you might not be able to forgive me, but I will spent every waking hour of my life loving you. I will draw you in with each breath because you're my everything.'

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This ones for you

"Your just his Psyche, how do you know all this? How can you still be in my head…it's been two years since I absorbed you." Rouge asked as tears pooled in her eyes.

' Rouge, Never doubt the power of love.' The psyche whispered gently in her mind.

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

'Don't give on me…Fight for me. Save me, Chère. I am lost with out you.' The voice began to fade and Rouge was left by herself again. She knew what she had to do. With a heavy head and a light heart she changed into black jeans and a black long sleeve top. She left the hotel on silent feet and made her way back to the house where Remy lived.

The song is "Hey there Delilah" by the Plain White T's.
