Fiona sat on the edge of her bed and sighed. She looked at the same white walls she had been looking at for the past 3 weeks in rehab.
For the first few days, Fiona had been mad at her parents, Holly J, and Adam; especially at Adam. How could he have betrayed her like that? He fooled her and then sent her away. But as time went on she realized that he only did it to help her. Sending her away probably hurt him just as much because she knew that he was in love with her.
Today she is finally leaving rehab, sober and clean. And now, as she sits in her small room, Fiona thinks of all the things she said and did that hurt Adam.
First was that party thrown specifically for her that she didn't show up to. After that there was when she kissed him and then told him to forget about it. She had seen the hope and happiness in his eyes and it crushed her to bring him down. But she had to do it. She wouldn't let her guard down, not after Bobby. And then there was the night Holly J had walked in on them. Fiona was drunk and raised Adam's hopes. Only to smash them at the Lovers' Lunch.
Fiona cringed when she thought about what she had said to him that day, that drinking makes it easier to be with him. It wasn't right to say in the first place but then to say it to Adam, a transgendered, was worse. And then she lied directly to his face when she said she loved him. She just wanted to keep him around and knew that by saying this, he would stay. It was, on that day, a flat out lie. Fiona liked Adam, a lot, but she wasn't so sure that she'd label her feelings as love (not yet anyway).
But what hurt him the most was when she said she never wanted to see him again. She was mad that he had brought her to an intervention and used his feelings towards her against him. It was a low blow and she knew it would crush him. But at the time, Fiona couldn't care less. She wanted to make him feel the same betrayal and hurt she was feeling.
Adam. He was so adorable, and not in a brotherly way, in more of a gentlemanly way. Maybe it was the way he looked at her with those cool blue eyes, or they way he always treated her like a princess that made her like him. All Fiona knew was that right now, she missed him. She missed his smile, his voice, his gentle touch, but mostly his love towards her.
The door opened to Fiona's room and pulled her away from her thoughts. Her mom peeked in and told Fiona they were ready to leave. Fiona stood up and walked towards the door.
She turned around one last time to look at the place she had stayed for the past 3 weeks. Her eyes fell to the edge of her bed, the place she was just sitting, the place that she realized that she truly was falling in love with Adam Torres.
