A/N - yes, I'm back, are you surprised? bout time right? haha. anyway, Fiadam is my new Degrassi OTP... so expect some stuff about them. This happens after that pesky finale cliffhanger.

Adam Torres did not give up that easily. If his Princess wasn't going to come down, he was going up. He wasn't sure what he would find when he got to the girl's door, but he wasn't backing out now.

Fiona Coyne was afraid. Fiona Coyne, the socialite, usually wasn't afraid of anything. But, Fiona Coyne was still a girl, with a crush on a baby faced boy. The same baby faced boy that seemed too good to be true. Adam Torres was a gentleman, a sweetheart. She wanted to fall for him, but the memory of Bobby scared her shitless. She felt weak, vulnerable, and Adam brought out another side of her, the real her. Fiona Coyne had a reputation to uphold, a reputation that was too much weight on her shoulders. Sometimes, even princesses fall. Alcohol was always there as her safety net. It was there when Declan was away at school, it was there when Holly J was doing her duties as Student Council President, and it was here right now, with Fiona as she sat in her condo, crying because she's too afraid to trust Adam.

There was a quick knock at the door of Fiona's condo, she stiffened and silenced her sobs.

"Fiona?. Fiona, are you in there? I forgot my key. Open up." Holly J's voice was heard through the door. In the living room, Fiona could barley stand, she just barley made it to the door. Part of her feared that it was Adam, she just couldn't face him today. "What's with the pitty party? Don't you have a real party to go to? A party thrown for you specifically, as I recall..." Holly J asked.

"I'm not going. I can't go. I..."

Holly J cut her off.

"Are you kidding me right now Fiona? You've been making googly eyes at this kid for weeks, he throws you a party, and you decide to chicken out?. Look, I know he's not like most guys, but this is just wrong, Fi."

The raven haired girl didn't know what else to say. She wanted to go, but she had that impending fear of something going wrong. "Why does everyone keep saying he's not like most guys? He's Adam. That's it." And with that, Fiona stood up, stumbling to get her shoes on, she had to see Adam, she had to talk to him. Holly J grabbed her arm so she wouldn't fall. "Fiona, stop, you're drunk. Why are you drunk?" "I don't want to talk about it Holly J, I need to see Adam." she stumbled over the armchair, landing on the couch, her best friend was worried. "Why don't you just call him?"

Adam was sitting outside of the Dot, nursing a coffee when his phone rang. "What is it Eli?"

"Where are you? are you with Fiona, because I can call back..."

"No, she uh, she didn't answer. I called, and rang the buzzer... nothing. I'm at the Dot. I don't know what else to do..." Adam sighed, he was really looking forward to showing Fiona a good time.

"The party's over. Cops came, and everyone left. We'll meet you at the Dot." Adam hung up and sighed, he wanted to go home... he'd had enough humiliation for one day.

Fiona was a mess. she lie on the couch, sobbing after opening up to Holly J. She knew she hurt Adam, she felt it. "Why am I such a train wreck?" She asked herself out loud. Holly J told her before that she's not, she's just going through as rough patch, but Fiona didn't buy that one bit. While her friend was in the bathroom, she left the condo and headed towards the Dot.

Eli and Claire pulled up in Eli's hearse, Morty about 45 minutes after the phone conversation. Adam was about to get in the car before he heard his name being called. He'd recognize that voice anywhere.

Princess Fiona.
