I turned to KC, we were sitting in the library.

"Come on man, I know you don't like B but we were friends." He turned to me and spoke low.

"Man you ditched us to get high with her we could of won. Now I have to play baby daddy and obviously you don't like Jenna much. Maybe its best if we are just going are separate ways." I sighed.

"You can't mean that man." He stood gathering his books and left. I leaned back and stared at the ceiling tiles. I stood and left. I entered the room and began to drum, it seemed lately the only thing that didn't judge me was the solace of the beats. I heard someone come in and I turned to see Sav.

"Up for a session." I sighed.

"Your sister Ok with that?" She had flipped out at us when she saw us together.

"Eh. I just need to get away from all that crap."

"Same here man." We began to just jam out.

They were getting on my nerves, I know I got all moody when Fiona left but I am fine. I turned to Eli who was eying me.

"I am fine Eli."

"She hasn't talked to you and its been a few days. I know you are far from fine." I turned to him.

"Stop being overprotective of me. I know what Clare means now!" I shouted it at him and I regretted it, I never gave away what my friends say and I just broke my number one rule.

"Clare what do you mean!" I excused my self from class and went to the memorial garden, the place where it all started. I turned the corner and she sat there, I plucked up all my courage and entered.

"Do you hate me?" I asked her, her cool gray eyes looked up at me.

"No, I figured you would hate me." I sat next to her.

"I didn't want to send you Fi but you worried me." She sighed and put her sketchbook aside.

"I know, I had a lot of time to think when I was away. I kept thinking of you, Holly J kept me updated on your conquests." I smiled.

"We have only talked briefly." I sat down next to her.

"What do you want Fiona? I mean are you still confused or..." I trailed off and she looked uncertain.

"I don't know yet Adam. I haven't got all the answers." I nodded at her.

"I know, I understand that just is there any hope?" She smiled.

"You know there is." I sighed and kissed the top of her head.

"Good because I wasn't sure if there was one." She looked down at her hands.

"I thought you hated me, you were giving me death glares."

"You walked right by me no notice, I got angry."

"I know, I was distracted I didn't even notice where Holly J and I were going." I took her sketchbook and looked to her for approval and she nodded. I flicked through a few pages looking at her new designs and I came across a sketch of me. I looked numbly at the book and her. I was there but there were question marks around me. I closed the book and heard the door slam open.

"Adam what are you doing with her?" My brother spat at us angrily.

"Drew I can hang out with who I want."

"Come to mess my brother up again?" I stood, having enough with my brother and shoved him out the door.

"Chill out, I can do what I want Drew! Did I tell you that you can't date Bianca? I should have, she is turning you into nothing but a jack ass. Go to class Drew now!" I shouted at my brother.

"Next time she leaves don't come crying to me. One day you will see I was right." He spoke low and quiet to me, I shoved him away and he walked off. I turned to look at Fiona. She didn't need this plus I didn't want her going into relapse. I didn't know what was going on with Drew. I walked back in.

"Sorry about that, something is going on with him. He started dating Bianca and I think she is the issue." She looked at me shocked.

"She is dating him after what she did to you?" I shrugged.

"He is happy after the whole Ali thing, I thought it would be good for him but I guess I was wrong." She looked at me sadly.

"He will be there for you Adam. I have to go get a few things straightened out see you at lunch?" I smiled.

"I would like that." She walked off and I went to my locker thinking lunch was to far away.


How could he just crawl back to her, was he not a man? I could not believe he would just let her have another go at him. I thought that it would be her crawling back to him begging him, that's what he deserved not the other way around. I walked out to the football field and saw Bianca.

"Drew what are you doing here?" She sauntered up to me and gave me a kiss. I lead her over to the bleachers and looked up at the clear sky.

"Ok QB whats going on?" I looked to her.

"Adam was with Fiona. He is angry at me, I am only trying to save him the pain. I have watched him go through it all." She sighed and placed a hand on my knee.

"You need to let him grow. Drew whether you like it or not, you have to back off otherwise you are going to lose your brother." No one knew that she had a caring side. I loved that about her.

"Its just I know how relationships can suck and he has fallen to hard."

"Ever think that he may be in love? You cant stop how you feel or hide it." I sighed and looked at her caramel colored eyes.

"I just want to protect him from the pain." She smiled and kissed me.

"Sometimes we need to feel pain to know we are alive." I held her closer knowing soon lunch would start, nothing was right but I knew at some point Adam would come around.
