I don't own degrassi
I was waiting for Becky at my locker. The whole weekend she was only able to call me once while her father and mother went out on their weekly date night. She couldn't stay on for too long because Luke, her older brother was still home. All she told me was that she was fighting with her parents right now so things were a little rocky between them, so she would see me on Monday at school. Mom of course went into her protective mode after Becky's parents left. "Adam, I like Becky I really do. But, her parents have a problem with you being you. I won't just sit here and listen as they insult you."
She had told me right after they left. Even though mom wasn't completely on board with me being Adam just yet, she made a lot of progress. She was more okay with it then she had been before, she even stopped making pronoun mistakes.
I was completely zoned out when I felt a light tap on my shoulder. It wasn't enough to bring me out of my daydreams but then I felt a pair of soft lips press lightly against mine. "Becky! How long have you been standing there?"
"I had a feeling a kiss would bring you out of your out of your daze and I haven't been here for too long. But you were so out of it that you didn't even realize." She said with a giggle.
"Kisses do have magical powers, so am I your prince now my lady?"
"Yes you are indeed Prince Adam."
"Well being the charming, dashing, bold, heroic prince I am, I think I deserve enough kiss don't you Lady Rebecca?"
"Most certainly." She pressed her soft lips against mine once again, this time I pulled her into a tight embrace as we kissed.
"Now that I got that out of my system, what happened with your parents after you went home?" I asked her, I really wanted to know. I hope that she didn't get into any trouble because of me.
"Well they were in the car with me and at first it was silent in the car but then after a little while they started asking questions."
Becky's POV
I sat in the backseat of my dad's car. It was a quiet drive, too quiet. I knew that they weren't happy that I had stayed the night at Adam's house. It also made things worse that I didn't tell them I was going to Adam's house, I just told them I was going for a walk. It hurt me to lie to them, I can't lie to my parents it's not right. The whole night I was at Adam's house I prayed for forgiveness for my actions against my parents. "Becky we have some questions we need to ask you."
I didn't say anything, just nodded as I got ready for the line of questions that was going to come. "Why did you lie to us?" Dad asked.
"I only lied because I knew that there was no other way you would let me see him. He wasn't even talking to me at school; I knew I had to do something. I decided to go talk to him and explain things, because I hurt him badly."
"Lying is not okay Becky, don't ever do that again" my dad said to me, giving me a stern glare in the mirror.
"What happened when you were over there?"
"I walked to the door and rang the bell, Adam's older brother Drew opened the door and told me Adam was in his room. I asked him if I could go up and talk to him. At first Drew was really against the idea, but after a few minutes he said as long as it was alright with Adam. Drew told Adam that I was here and Adam said it was okay. Drew went into his room next door. Adam and I sat and talked for a little while then when his brother came to get him for dinner, Adam asked his mom if it would be alright if I stayed for dinner. We all eat dinner together and then after dinner I sat down and talked to Adam, his mom told us about the storm coming and we watched the weather so his mom asked if I wanted to stay over because it wasn't safe for anyone to drive in the storm. So I slept on the couch and cooked breakfast the next morning for everyone, and I cleaned up the dishes. Then you guys came."
"Thank you for telling us what happened, but I meant what happened with Adam."
"Well mom and dad I need to tell you both. Adam and I, are beck together. Now before you say anything I want you guys to know that I gave your class a try, but it didn't help I'm in love with him and he's in love with me. I know now that Adam is a boy deep down and soon he'll be one completely, please let us be together, he makes me happy."
I waited to hear what they would say I was nervous about it though, it didn't make too much of a difference last time. I hope that it will this time because I tried what they wanted me to do, now they would hopefully see that it was love not confusion. "Becky will talk more about this after dinner, now when we get home I want you to go up to your room."
My dad said as we turned onto our street and then pulled into the driveway. I went straight up to my room. I have a bad feeling about this. If they were fine with me and Adam then they would have said so already wouldn't they? I lay down on my bed as I felt myself start to cry. I had no idea what I would do if they said I couldn't be with Adam. We loved each other and I had already hurt him so much. Images of his cuts kept popping up in my head, only making me cry harder. "Becky, dad said to come get you for dinner."
"Go tell him I'm not hungry Luke."
I heard Luke walk away from the door and head downstairs. Luke must have gotten a ride home from hockey practice with one of his team mates. Luke is my older brother, he's very protective of me, and he doesn't like me being around Adam very much. I have no doubt that he will be on their side. "Becky can we come in?" My dad said standing at my door, knocking softly. "Sure." I wiped off my face and blew my nose.
"Sweetie what's wrong?"
"You guys don't like Adam and I know that you won't let me be with him."
"Becky, you need to understand this, we don't want you to be sad we just want what's best for our little girl, and that is not Adam. We want you to be happy, but at the same time we want you to be safe and to life a full righteous life. You know that in the eyes of God, Adam is really a girl, and not a guy. If you choose to be with him you're taking yourself down a bad road. We just want to protect you from that." My dad said as he rubbed my back. "We love Becky, and trust me, we know that it seems like we are being unfair to you, but we're just doing what we think is best for you." He went on then gave me a big hug. My mom started talking then. "Becky, listen honey, I'm going to tell you something. Adam might be the first person you think you like, but there will be others then one day you'll fine who you really want to be with." She gave me a hug and a smile. "Come on Becky let's go downstairs and have a nice family dinner together, I think we kept Luke waiting long enough."
"Mom, dad I respect you both so much and I don't want to say anything bad or hurtful. But I love Adam, and I'm going to be there for him. Even if you don't like it you're just going to have to learn to deal with it." I said even though I hated going against them like this, it was what I had to do and deep down inside I know I'm doing the right thing.
"Don't you talk to us like that young lady!"
"That's right Rebecca, you live in my house, you will follow my rules, and you should also follow the rules of God, you learned and followed for years. Are you really ready to set all this aside for one girl?"
"Adam is a boy and God would understand this. After all we are supposed to show love to everyone, not make it alright to hurt other people!"
"That's it, I've had it with this young lady, stay in this room you're grounded, and you are to stay away from Adam!"
"Dad you can't do that!"
"You're my daughter I can do what is best for you."
With that both my parents left me alone in my room. I started to cry on my bed once again. I will find away to be with Adam, they'll just have to get used to it. I spent the whole night planning how to talk to Adam. I needed to let him know what was going on. But my family was watching me like a hawk.
Finally a day later, my parents went out and Luke was sitting watching the hockey game on TV. I took my chance and used the phone in my room. I quickly punched in Adam's number. On the second ring he picked it up. "Hey Becky, I'm so glad you called. Is everything okay with you and your family? Are you in trouble? Becky I'm so sorry about this." I could hear how sad and worried he was. I hated hearing him like this. I just wanted to be there to hug him and make everything better but sadly I can't now, soon though.
"Adam, I can't talk long my parents are out but my brother will be up here if he hears. I'll talk to you about this in school on Monday. Things are a little rocky around here. But don't worry Adam, I love you and I won't let anyone get in the way of us. I'll talk to you later."
"Okay, thanks for telling me, I love you to Becks."
"Becky, who are you talking to?" Luke called up the stairs.
"Bye Adam." I hung up just in time as Luke came in my room.
"Don't you knock Luke, its rude not to."
"I'm supposed to watch you, so who were you talking to?"
"A friend from Florida, I told her I can't talk though."
"Sure it was Becky, sure it was." Luke walked out of the room and I let out a breath I didn't know I had been holding.
Luke's POV
I know Becky wasn't on the phone with a friend. It had to be Adam, I don't like that. Adam isn't someone she needs to be with or even have in her life. All he is doing is messing up my sister. I won't let Adam take Becky to hell with him.
Adam's POV
"I can't believe you said that to them."
"Me neither, I didn't really like having to talk to them like that. But they need to know that this is what makes me happy and I'm not going to let it go again." Becky said taking my hand in her's.
"I love you Becks, so much."
"I love you to Adam." We kissed again and went to class.
