This is after the episode Halo aired so if you have not seen it, it will probably be confusing. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the story.

"I'm sorry, Adam. I just couldn't..." Fiona said quietly. Adam felt like pulling his hair out! She just didn't get it!

They were still in Art class so instead of the screaming like he wanted to, he settled for a sarcastic snort.

"I don't care about the party right now. Well I do but I'm more hurt by the fact you don't trust me enough to tell me what's wrong," Adam said once the teacher stepped out of the classroom.

Fiona looked like she was to say something but closed her mouth as soon as opened it. Luckily for her the bell rung before Adam could say anything. He stood up and gathered up his stuff and walked away, leaving Fiona behind.

He was walking so quickly he bumped into someone. That someone happened to be Fitz.

"Watch it freak. Wouldn't want to run into my fist now would you?" He sneered.

Adam just shook his head and said, "Have a good afternoon Fitz" before walking away.

Fitz stood there confused. Usually that got a rise out of Torres. What changed?

OoOoOo

When school was over Fiona had tried to Adam to no avail. Finally she just sat down on the steps and waited for her taxi to arrive. Suddenly she saw Adam come out of the shadows. She immediately stood up and rushed over to him.

"Adam," She sighed in relief as she hugged him. He tensed instantly and only then did Fiona realize what she was doing/did. A few seconds later she reluctantly let go of him. He immediately missed the warmth.

She's going to find out my "secret" some time so this will probably be the last time I will talk to her..She wouldn't want to hang out with a freak, he thought sadly. I might as well make it worth while. With that thought in mind Adam put his arm around her waist before pulling her closer. Fiona noticed he had a wistful look in his eyes before he straightened up and hesitantly caressing her cheek with his thumb.

She couldn't help the shiver that ran through her body at his touch. She assumed Adam thought it was a negative reaction because he sighed and pulled back.

He lent in and gave her a lingering kiss on the cheek before walking towards the car waiting for him. When he was gone Fiona raised her hand to her tingling cheek.

What did this mean for them? Fiona wondered.

OoOoOo

As soon as the Torres' got into the house Adam took a long breath before looking at Drew.

"Andrew can you please go out for a while? Mom and I need to talk alone" he said. Drew nodded but was obviously confused. When Adam was sure he was gone he turned toward his mother.

"We need to talk, once in for all." He said with a hard look in his eye. She also stood there confused before realiztion dawned upon her. She took a moment to compose herself before she silently nodded and motioned to her office.

When they were both seated Adam said the thing that finally brought reality to Audra Torres.

"I want to start taking the shots."
