All Your Life
A/N
I really don't like how they made Fiona just get drunk and not go to Adam's party. So I decided to write this ^_^ It takes place during Halo Part 2, by the way.
It would mean a lot if you could review this because I would love to grow as a writer! Good or bad, constructive criticism is good.
Anyway, enjoy! I'll try to post a new chapter every week or even shorter! But at the very latest it'll be a week before I post a new chapter.
So with that, read! It's good for the brain!
Oh and I don't own Degrassi or Fadam or anything! Just trying to write fanfiction!
:)
'Is she standing me up? Does she think I'm too weird? Is she already at the party and I didn't see her? Where is she?' Adam's thoughts raced as he walked up to Fiona's condo, phone in ear. He looked up at her window. The lights were off. The phone finally rang its last ring. She still hadn't picked up.
It was the fifth time Adam had called. He left her a brief message and sighed. 'How could Fiona do this to me? I thought we were really hitting it off. I guess I'm not good enough for her.' Adam never felt good enough for anyone. Even though he knew Fiona didn't know his secret he felt like no one wanted a transgender guy. He felt like he was just too weird for girls to handle, whether they knew his secret or not.
Feeling self-conscious and bad about himself, Adam sighed and started walking back home. He figured there was no point in going back to his party. His secret crush wasn't coming and stood him up. He felt himself start to get teary-eyed but he just shook his head. She was just a girl. Granted, she was a beautiful girl. She made him smile and laugh and he really did like her. But she was just a girl. 'She's just a girl. Just a girl.' He reminded himself over and over again as he walked down the sidewalk to his house. It wasn't far from hers, though hers was more in the city.
It was cold so Adam pulled his jacket across his chest. It was also really dark in the city tonight; though the dim street lights and stars did light a nice path through this city. It was pretty quiet except for the wind whistling a bit through the trees.
But then suddenly, Adam heard a scream. "Get off of me!" A voice called out. "Please someone help!" The familiar New Yorker twang in the voice made Adam realize who it was.
"Fiona?" He yelped out, following the voice to a nearby alley. Even if it wasn't her, he knew he needed to help the girl, whoever it was.
Running into the alley, Adam grabbed a trashcan lid; He needed some kind of protection. And there he saw her.
A guy dressed in all black sweats had Fiona pinned against the side of a building. Tears were streaming down her face as she looked over at Adam. The guy seemed as though he hadn't heard Adam coming, so when Fiona looked at Adam he put a finger on his mouth to keep her quiet. He wanted to sneak up on the guy, hit him and then run. But it was dark, so Fiona didn't see him.
"Adam! Please save me!" She screamed looking over at him. This naturally, made the guy turn to look at Adam. Adam was so scared. He had never dealt with anything like this before. Normally, someone would run if the guy had even looked at them, but Adam couldn't let him hurt his Fiona.
Immediately, Adam ran up to the guy and pushed him off of Fiona. He wasn't super strong but Adam could at least push the guy off. "Stay away from her!" Adam yelled. The hoodlum had no visible weapons so Adam decided to push him over with the trashcan lid. The guy was very hard to get down. It was a struggle. He almost had pushed Adam down, but Adam pushed him completely down after a few seconds.
Since the guy was on the ground, Adam knew he only had a few seconds to get them out of there. Grabbing Fiona's wrist, he pulled her out of the alley and a little bit down the street, near her condo. Once they got under a street light, he stopped, catching his breath. He looked at Fiona, who collapsed slowly to the ground, bawling and shaking.
He lowered himself down to the ground and sat with her on the sidewalk, not caring who saw. Wrapping his arms around her, he rubbed her back gently. He knew they hadn't ever been this close but he knew she needed to be held.
"It's okay, Fi. He's not going to hurt you anymore. You're okay. You're okay." There were a few moments of complete silence as Fiona hid her head into his shoulder and cried. He hated seeing her like this. He knew he had to be strong for her. So he just rubbed her back as she cried.
Finally, Fiona caught enough of her breath to say a few words as she looked up at Adam, still with tears in her eyes. "You saved my life."
Adam couldn't help but give her a small but worried smile. "Come on, Fi. Let me take you home." He slowly picked her up, still feeling how shaky Fiona was. He never let her go as they walked home to her condo. They got into her condo, no one was home.
Taking her right to her bed, he sat down with her. He looked into her sad eyes and brushed the hair away from her face, tucking it behind her ear. "Do you want me to get you anything? Some water?"
Fiona shook her head and tightened her grip on Adam. She had already had her arms tight around his chest as they walked home and she never let go of him. "C-can you just stay with me? My-My mom doesn't get home until tomorrow." She looked down and a few more tears fell down her face. "And I don't wanna be alone."
He looked at her sadly, wiping her tears away from her eyes gently. "Yeah, of course. I can just tell my mom I'm staying over at Eli's. It's okay, Fi. You're safe now. I'm gonna protect you."
Slowly, Fiona's pale gray eyes drifted back up to Adam's baby blue eyes as she leaned in to place a gentle, weak kiss on his lips. It only lasted a few seconds but it was what Adam always dreamed about. Her perfect lips on his, colliding in such a way that he felt a spark. It was a short spark, but it was a spark indeed.
"Thank you." She whispered against his lips, and then laid her head into the nook of his shoulder. He breathed slowly, matching hers.
"It's getting late. I think we should get you to bed. And then we can talk in the morning alright?" He slowly unwrapped his arms from around her so she could get up. At this point, Fiona had stopped bawling and just stayed in Adam's arms. She still looked pretty shaken and pale though.
She nodded. "I need to change. But I don't know if my brother left any pajamas here."
"It's fine, I'll just sleep in this. I guess I'll take the couch." He said, getting up and starting to head for the living room.
Fiona bit her lip, hoping her next question wouldn't be too forward but she just didn't want to be alone. "Could you sleep with me? I mean it's a king sized bed and there's no real reason for you to sleep on the couch when the bed is comfier. And I-I wanna make sure you're still gonna be here in the morning…"
Adam knew his mom would kill him for lying to her. Even more so if she knew he was sleeping in the same bed as a girl. But he knew Fiona needed him. "That's fine, Fi. I'm just going to let you change and I'm gonna get you some water and then we can sleep, okay?" He flashed Fiona a very small smile then walked out of her room into the kitchen.
He got her some water then Fiona poked her head out of her room to call him back in. Walking back in, he sat on her bed and took off his shoes while she got in her bed. He thought she looked adorable in her pink satin pajamas shorts and her matching tank top.
Once he slipped into bed with her she squirmed over, wrapping an arm around him and laid her head into the nook of his neck and shoulder. "Thank you, Adam. Who knows what would have happened if you hadn't found me?" She whispered into his neck with her eyes closed. "And I'm sorry I didn't go to your party." Fiona sighed deeply, trying to let all the stress go, which was incredibly hard.
Adam's immediate reaction was to wrap his arms around her. He loved being so close to her. "Don't be sorry, princess. It's been a rough night. Just go to sleep. I'll be here in the morning." Fiona was soon out like a light. But Adam had stayed awake, thinking about the day.
The night had been very intense. He had gone from thinking his crush had ditched him, to having to save her from a mysterious guy, to kissing her, to sleeping with her in the same bed. 'What a night.' He thought to himself as he rubbed Fiona's arm gently. 'At least it has a happy ending.'
Adam sighed like Fiona had done before she fell asleep and closed his eyes. Soon he drifted off to sleep, with his perfect princess in his arms.
