Chapter 1: Break-Ups and Heart-Aches

Adam was locked in his room, and lying on his bed just staring at his ceiling thinking back on what he had recently done that ended the first real relationship he had with a girl. And it was not just any girl, it was the girl. Her name is Fiona Coyne, and she was known as one the hottest girls at Degrassi Community School. Plus she was packed with money and fame. Although some of it was not the good kind of fame. She did get caught in the usual tabloid scandals, but she wanted to change all that and be a better person. Adam never expected that he would be dating that kind of girl, but it happened. She just showed up one day and he was instantly attracted to her. This later led to a minor confrontation with his step-brother, Drew, who was also attracted to Fiona. The situation was quickly resolved when Drew realized that Adam really liked this girl and thought that it would be fair if his brother had some romance in his life. Later on during the school year Adam invited Fiona to a secret party that he organized just for her. She agreed and Adam was overjoyed. However, even though the party was a success Fiona didn't show up at all which left Adam confused and depressed.

The next day Fiona confronted Adam and told him how sorry she was for missing his party. She tried to give an excuse, but Adam denied it. He felt awful for being mad at Fiona, so he offered her to be the lead lady in his play. She nails the audition, and he goes over to her home one day to rehearse some lines. When they were about to do the kissing scene, Adam admits to Fiona that he is transgender. Fiona, however, says that she already knew and that she doesn't care. Soon Fiona admits that the real reason she didn't show up to the party was because she was afraid he wouldn't accept her for who she really was. Adam assured her that it would never happen, and the two end the day with a sweet and passionate kiss. After a rough start, the two eventually came to realize that they both seem to like each other very much. One of the reasons Fiona liked Adam is because she felt safe and comfortable around him. The two quickly became a couple, and Adam couldn't have been happier. Unfortunately things didn't stay great for long because Adam eventually realized that Fiona was an alcoholic and that he was enabling her. When he faced Fiona about this, she denied it and said that it was nothing. But deep down he knew the truth. She drank so much because she thought it would make it easier to be with him. With a little convincing from Holly J, Adam helped her set up an intervention so that they can help Fiona with her drinking problem. When he brought Fiona to the intervention, where her mother and Holly J were waiting, Fiona became frustrated. She tried to leave, but Adam got in the way to stop her. This only made things worse, and led Fiona to do the unthinkable act that Adam would later regret.

"Get out of my way Adam," yelled Fiona as she tried to leave. Adam was blocking the doorway to prevent her from leaving.

"I said get out of my way!"

When nothing seemed to work she turned to face Holly J.

"Make him get out of my way. Please!"

"Fiona, Adam's a good guy. He's just doing what's right for you. We all just want to help you."

Fiona looked at Holly J with furious eyes. Her cheeks were red from the anger, and her eyes began to look teary. She let out a big sigh to calm down before speaking.

"Fine. Whatever. But I don't want Adam to be here!"

Adam was shocked to hear her say that, but then he did lie to her to bring her here in the first place.

"Fiona please," begged Adam, trying to convince Fiona to forgive him. "I really do care about you. I care about you a lot. I just want to help you overcome your drinking problem that's all. Doesn't that mean anything?"

Fiona stood there silently for a second, but then she turned to face Adam while still maintaining her angry look.

"The only problem I see is a boy who lies and betrays people's trust even if it hurts that person."

Adam stood there speechless, and his eyes began to look teary. He opened his mouth ready to say something, but Fiona cut him off before he could say anything.

"I don't want to hear it. In fact, I don't want to hear anything from you ever again. I don't want to hear you, see you, or even think about you because we're done. Get it! You and I are through. It's over! As if it never happened. So please just go and stay away from me."

By the time she finished speaking she had already started tearing up. Hot tears streamed down her flustered face, and she turned away while staring down at the floor. Adam was utterly devastated at what he had just heard. Fiona had basically cut him out of her life completely, and there was nothing Adam could say that would change her mind. Tears began to stream down his face as well. Finally he turned away, and started walking with his dignity gone and his heart broken in more ways than one.

Now Adam was lying on his bed thinking about why he couldn't just have this one relationship. It was as if he could never have the kind of true love you see in those cheesy and corny romantic films. He might never be like his friends Eli and Clare. They are a symbol of true love, the one thing Adam will probably never have. While he was thinking about it Adam wiped his face with his hands because he was still shedding tiny tears from the whole break-up.

"Please God," said Adam while still staring at his ceiling. "If you're up there please, just give me another chance. Even if it doesn't involve Fiona, just give me another chance at love. I've done nothing wrong, so why should I suffer like this? Don't people like me get to have love? Or do you too find it hard to accept people like me? Do you take your sweet time tormenting the hearts of transgender kids all over the world just to put a smile on your face you stupid mother…"

Adam stopped himself before he went further with his sentence. He knew that talking smack about God wasn't gonna help him. He just had to face the fact that maybe Fiona wasn't the right girl for him. But he still wanted to be with someone. He wanted someone who could not only accept him for who he was, but who is also sweet, pretty, and has no complicated issues. Adam wanted love so badly, but he knew that in order for him to be truly in love he needed to find the right girl. It might take some time, but one day he'll find the right girl. It's like Drew always tells him, "There's plenty of fish in the sea. You just got to reel in the right catch." Adam thought to himself that if he was gonna go fishing for new love, he should avoid the vicious heart stomping sharks like Fiona. He found that thought so funny that even he chuckled at it. It was the first step in starting fresh, and Adam was ready to face the world again.
