Disclaimer: (I thought I should start doing these so I don't get sued or anything...unlikely...but just in case) Main characters: I own Bunny. I own Sophie (she's my bi-atch). And Leggy owns herself…Stephen King owns the other characters (duh) but Rob Reiner owns the gorgeousness of the other characters because he gave them gorgeousness in the movie! All hail Rob Reiner! And any of the other characters that you see are also mine. All mine. Like the pube I can see on my bed……………………………………………………

Author's Notes: Sorry sorry sorry for the wait. I truly am. Distractions people! Men and exams! I'll actually keep my note short this time! (I'm shocked also). Going to include a few lines from the last chapter so you sort of know what's going on and crap.

#Chapter Nine – The Lovers Reunite?#

What the hell was I thinking? I loved him? Why was I letting him walk away? Why was I stood with a cloth held on my eye having all these thoughts and not doing a god damn thing about them?

I ran to the door, unlocked it, opened it, and ran through it.

He turned around.

I still held the cloth up against my eye and looked at him with a pleading eye, I fumbled with my words, not making anything legible, just annoying grunting noises.

I didn't know what to say. The man I loved, the man I had come back for was stood right in front of me and I couldn't say anything. Those three little words would do. Why wasn't my mind working? Why wasn't I saying anything?

Ace was looking at me expectantly and had fully turned around to look at me. He looked as uncomfortable as I felt, our eyes met and I felt my eyes watering again, tears flowed down my okay eye, the other eye stung. I gasped at the pain.

Ace had looked away and was rubbing his temples, his body was turning from me and I knew he was going to leave. I had to say something.

"Ace…" My voice was barely above a whisper but he heard, his head shot up at your eyes locked. I hated myself, the pain I had heard in his voice and now the pain in his eyes tore through me. How could I have been so selfish? Why did I have to leave so quickly? I was protecting myself. That's what I had done. I knew Ace loved me…but not to this extent, he looked as if he was going to start crying. And that was a scary prospect, making a grown man cry is bad enough, but Ace Merrill? That's a whole different ball game.

He too looked as if he were struggling for words, our gazes left each other as we stood feet apart, arguing with ourselves. He was the one who broke the lengthy silence.

"Why?" I looked up at him, and the hurt he showed scared me.

I shook my head, tears rushing back out in streams, I made those horrible choking noises as I cried, gasping for breath, I sniffled and shook too, and I felt at my most pathetic. "I. Don't. Know." I slobbered out in between my wailing.

I was looking down at the floor, my hair hiding my face, I didn't want him to see my face when I cried. The red in my cheeks, the streaks of tears, the possible snot and drool.

I saw his feet, he was wearing his shiny shoes, and I'm not sure why but that made me cry even harder. I felt his hands on my arms, he moved his hands up and down them, and it felt so soothing and electric. Like the sensation you get when the water in the shower is really hot. But this was more than that, this was what I'd been praying for, this was my sweetheart, wrapping his arms around me and holding me close.

My crying became quieter and I gently sniffled into his shirt, I wiped my nose on his shoulder and heard him chuckle and felt his hands squeeze me (nowhere rude…sick minded readers).

My left arm still held the cloth at my eye, Ace pulled back from me and pulled my arm away from my eye too. I couldn't see out of my eye that well, everything was blurry and difficult to make out.

His eyes went blank as he looked at me (I still have one good eye…), "What did you do in there?" He asked worriedly, gesturing towards what happened in the bedroom to make this happen to my eye.

"It was just a bit of dust, I wiped my eye on my sleeve." I said simply whilst shrugging. I was then amazed at how simple that actually was, me and Ace had to be back together now right? We were being normal! Yay!

"A bit of dust?" He asked skeptically, squinting at my bad eye. "Can you see anything with it?" Worry had seeped back into his voice.

"Sort of, it's kind of blurry but I can make things out."

"How many fingers am I holding up?" He said, putting the palm of his hand over my good eye.

I laughed at how he was over-reacting, I could still see it was just a little blurry. I folded my arms smugly, "Four".

He removed his hand away from my good eye and looked at me with worry, "One."

I also began to feel worried, because he was worried and I didn't know how bad my eye actually looked. I thought a little blood shot and watery, possibly swollen, but nothing serious.

I turned to Ace with scared eyes, "What does it look like?"

He stood back from peering at me eye and scratched the back of his neck, something he did when he didn't want to tell the truth.

I looked at him sternly, "Don't lie."

"Well, Julie…it aint pretty." He slide his arm around me and coaxed me to walk with him, "I think we should take you to the hospital." He looked at me and then looked away again, what did my eye look like?

It must have looked pretty nasty because Ace pulled up my arm with the cloth in and placed it in front of my eye for me. He guided me down the stairs, and yelled to the others that were in the house that we'd back soon.

I heard curious questions, but neither of us answered them, we just got into his car and drove to the hospital.

#Author's Note: I'm impressed, this only took me an hour to do (including the thinking parts like "Hmmmmm…what to do? What to do?") Anyway, not really at a cliffhanger, I think, I've not written for so long I've forgotten what cliffhangers are! Argh! Well, the next chapter isn't going to start where we left off, it'll be like…after they've figured out what's wrong with Bunny's eye (of course I already know…being the author and all. Hahaha)

Anyway, hope you enjoyed the chapter. Reviews are greatly appreciated.

Just two quick notes:

To Sophie – love you and I've finally updated this and the others! Go me!

To Sara – that mysterious shower curtain I mentioned in Chapter Eight? I do believe (after asking my mum) that it's from Tescos. Has fish on it. Good luck on your search :P

(I'm amazed at how short the Author's Notes have been, if you don't review the chapter please review my shortening notes? Come on…this is good for me…) Love you all!

Oh and another thing – as next chapter is chapter ten (yay!) there will be shout outs to everyone that has reviewed this fic so far! Love you all still!

And it's my birthday on the 13th! I'll finally be sixteen! Woo!

And I forgot about my Leggy-Poos birthday…so I'll try and make it up to her in one of the later chapters. I haven't heard from her in a while…

God damn my Author's Notes have turned out long! Poop…
