Here is Chapter Four. J
Tom left the cubicle as he did so he noticed Sam over at the desk. He walked up behind her he placed a hand on her shoulder, causing her to jump. 'Tom! Don't do that' Sam tells him. 'Sorry, but where have you been for the last hour? You didn't turn up at the canteen' Tom tells her.
'Sorry. I was going to and then' Sam paused unsure how to continue. 'Go on' he encouraged her. 'I had a voice mail from my brother's school saying he'd been in a fight and he'd been knocked unconscious. And well you probably know the rest as you're probably his doctor' Sam informed him.
Tom nodding 'Why didn't you just tell me? I've been worried sick. And don't worry I've already met Adam' Tom tells her. 'You must hate me' Sam tells him. 'I could never hate you. I just wish you'd told me that's all' Tom tells her.
'Sorry' Sam replies. 'So how is he?' she asked. 'Just a boxers fracture, nothing too serious. But he wouldn't say what the fight was over, has he said anything to you?' Tom asked. Sam shook her head. 'He hasn't been himself for the last few days, he says its nothing but I can't help but wonder' Sam tells him, concerned for her brother.
'Want me to have a try?' Tom asks. 'Would you?' Sam asked him. 'I don't mind' Tom offered, 'he's asking to see you anyway' Tom adds. As they both walk over to the cubicle where Adam was Tom pulled back the curtains.
'Hey Sam, Hey Tom' Adam says as Sam makes an appearance. 'Adam, what am I going to do with you' Sam says, 'Don't go giving me the big sister speech' he says. 'How can I not when you get yourself into a fight' Sam says.
'it was nothing' Adam tells her. 'It must be something, I mean Charlie is one of your best friends. It's not like you both to fight' Sam says. 'Well you know nothing' Adam tells her.
'Adam, how about we go and get some chocolate' Tom speaks up causing both Sam and Adam to look at him.
'I take it that this is the Tom you've been telling me about' Adam asks his sister. Tom raises an eyebrow at Sam. Who quickly nods.
'I hope its all been good' Tom says.
'Of course' Sam tells him
'Shouldn't you be getting back to work sis?' Adam says, Sam nods.
'I'll check on you in a bit' Sam tells him before leaving. A silence falls over Tom and Adam.
'So Adam, you had a fight with one of your friends today then. Want to tell me what happened?' Tom asks.
'Yeah as long as you promise not to tell my sister' Adam says. Tom mocks locking his lips. And throwing away an invisible key.
'You can trust me' Tom says, Adam takes a moment. He clears his throat.
'Me and Charlie are, well were…' Adam pauses, embarrassed.
'Its okay Adam nobody will know apart from us' Tom reassures him.
'He was my y'know' Adam says.
'Not sure that I do, Explain' Tom says.
'He was my boyfriend' Adam finishes.
'Adam are you telling me that you're gay?' Tom asks. He sees Adam nod.
'Please don't tell my sister, I don't want her to know' Adam says.
'Your secret is safe with me, but know its better you tell Sam yourself before she hears it from someone else' Tom tells him.
Adam groans at the very thought.
