Becky awoke from her slumber to find herself in Adam's room curled up next to him. Both of his arms were wrapped around her like a cocoon. She remembered last night and how wonderful it was. Her and Adam climbed into his bed and held each other all night; barely talking but just listening to each other's calm breathing. She looked up at Adam's face and admired how innocent he looks when he's asleep. Not wanting to wake him, she slips out from his hold and started to inspect his room.

His room was neat and tidy but still very boyish with a couple articles of clothing next to his hamper that he missed but was too lazy to pick up. She walked over to his extensive comic book collection and breathed out a silent 'wow' when she saw how much of his collection were original copies from the 1960s. She walked over to his desk to find papers scattered from his backpack everywhere and pencils and pens out of their holder. His LGBT pin stuck out from the rubble and he grazed her fingers over it lightly. She chuckled at herself for being so close minded before and is taken aback about how far she's come since she got to Degrassi; how far both of them have come together in a short period of time.

Becky decides to make Adam breakfast before he wakes up to surprise him since his mom's not home. She lightly bounds down the stairs to the kitchen and notices that the door is still open slightly. She closes it and turns back around to the kitchen when she hears a soft knock at the door. Becky wondered if she should open the door; this wasn't her house but she didn't want to wake up Adam. She decided not to wake him up and just answer the door.

"Hello?" she said, looking at the guy that seems a little older than her but not by much; maybe about Drew's age.

"Oh, I must have the wrong address? Is this the Torres residence?" said the guy.

"Yes, I'm a friend of the Torres'. How may I help you?"

"I'm looking for Adam. My name is Jacob. I was hoping to speak with him," said Jacob tentatively.

She wonders if this is the same Jacob that tormented Adam back then. Becky knew that Adam wasn't ready for this after what happened last night and that she shouldn't wake him up.

"Listen, Jacob, Adam told me all about you. You have scarred him deeply and he has not gotten over what you did to him. I think it's best if you just leave him alone," Becky said firmly. She didn't know how sensitive Adam was to this guy. She knows he promised last night never to hurt himself again but she didn't want any provocation.

"I know what I did was wrong. I was stupid back then and scared. I had never heard of transgendered people before and I didn't want him with my sister. I felt like I was protecting her. All I want is to make amends with him; all I want is to apologize for what I did," Jacob said with tears in his eyes, "But if he's not ready then could you give this for me?" He handed Becky an envelope. She took the envelope and embraced Jacob.

"I will tell Adam you came by and I will tell him what you told me. Maybe in time he will be ready to talk to you. Everything is going to work out, Jacob. I promise."

"You're such an understanding person. Adam is lucky to have you in his life. Thank you for everything-?"

"Becky, my name is Becky; Adam's girlfriend."

"Thank you, Becky." He walked off the porch and to his car.

Becky dismissed making breakfast for him; she thought this would be more important. She ran up the stairs to Adam's room. He was still in the position she left him. She crawled onto the bed and whispered, "Wake up, Adam, I have something for you." He groaned and went back to sleep. She got closer to his face and pressed her lips to his slowly, waking him up immediately to reciprocate her actions. She broke away with a smile on her face.

"Good, now that you're up- here you go."

"What's this? A love note," he said in a teasing tone, "You didn't have to, I know you love me."

"No, silly, it's from Jacob."

Adam's smile diminished and all the color drained from his face. "J-Jacob Whitcomb?" he said. His palms began to get sweaty and the room instantly got hotter.

"Adam, it's okay. He came by the house and-"

"He knows where I live?!" said Adam nearly screaming. He got off the bed and started pacing. "I need to get away, I need to move far, far away from here," he said frantically. He started to hyperventilate. Becky hopped off the bed and grabbed his arms stopping him in his tracks.

"Adam, calm down. He came by the house to apologize to you. He wanted me to give this to you."

"Bull shit, Becky. He wants to bait me and then terrorize me again. What's inside that envelope is probably a death threat. I'm not safe!"said Adam freaking out again.

"You need to calm down. How about we read it together and if it's a death threat then we can talk about moving away but for right now you need to calm down."

"But Becky he-" Becky cut him off with a kiss. She could feel his body relax and the tension ease away.

"Adam, I will be right here the whole time," she said stroking his cheek, "I'm not going anywhere. Whatever is in that envelope, we can and we will get through it together."

He felt safer now; knowing she was going to be right by his side. Adam nodded his head, agreeing to reading the letter. They went back to his bed and leaned their backs against the head board.

"Are you ready?" asked Becky. She slipped her hand in his and gave him a gentle squeeze of encouragement.

"With you, I'm ready for anything," he said kissing her on the cheek. He pulled his hand away from hers to open the letter then immediately kneaded his hand back in hers and began to read aloud.

Dear Adam,

I know you may hate me; you have every right to. The way I treated you was beyond unnecessary and I apologize eternally for it. If I could go back to that day in the hallway and change things, I would. I was angry; I was angry and I took it out on you. My parents had been fighting for a really long time and Carly must have told you this but they split up. Carly stayed with my mom and I stayed with my dad; Carly and I would switch houses every week. The only time I could see her was at school. The day that Carly told me about you wasn't the best timing. My parents sat me down that day and told me to pick who I was going to live with permanently. They also told me that the college I committed to for football, Emory, wouldn't give us financial aid. And because my parents slip up, the money that would go to my college savings was being used by them to buy a new house for my dad to live in instead of the apartment he resided in. Emory was my dream school, I dreamt about going there ever since I found out about it. It felt like my world was crashing down before my eyes; that's when my sister told me about you. What she told me was: "Adam told me he's transgendered, meaning he has a girl body but in his head he's a boy." What I took from that was that you were tricking my little sister into believing you were a boy. At the time, I didn't know that it was real, I just thought you made the term up. It had set me off and before I knew it I was walking away from your crumpled body. To be honest, I never really thought about it until 7 months ago. My mom got a boyfriend, Stephen. I thought Stephen was really cool and I could relate to him; he played football in college and was an All-American. He sat me and my sister down one day and told us he was going to marry my mother and wanted our permission. Carly and I were stoked to say yes but he told us before we answered there was something we should know about him first. He told us that he was originally a girl and that he was transgendered until he got surgery. He told us to mull it over and get back to him whenever we felt like it. When he told us this, you came to my head. I asked my mom if she knew and she said she did. She said that it didn't matter because Stephen is a genuine person. What he was before was not his fault and couldn't be helped. All in all, she loved him and that this shouldn't change how Carly and I should perceive him. I went to my room and I cried, I cried for hours because of how I treated you that day. If I had gotten to know you I would have liked you-that's what Carly told me. I tried calling you but you hung up before I could apologize. So here I am, writing to you because I feel like you deserve an explanation for what I did. In no way does this justify it. I shouldn't have done that just because my life spiraled out of control. I didn't have to go and ruin yours. I am so so sorry, Adam. You don't have to forgive me; I don't expect it.

I hope that your new school treats you well and is more accepting than ours was.

I'm sorry.

-Jacob.

Adam read the last line and stared at the wall. He couldn't feel anything; no emotion came to him when he finished the letter. He just felt numb; he couldn't even feel Becky's hand in his anymore.

"Adam? Are you okay?"Becky said rubbing the side of his arm.

"I-I don't know," he said finding his words. Tears came to his eyes but he shook them away. He was not going to cry for this. He had been harboring this for so long and now he had answers, he had closure. The wall of tears kept probing him to let them fall but he wouldn't let them.

"You know, it's okay to cry. It doesn't show that you're weak. It shows that you've been holding on for so long and that you've finally let go. Let go, Adam."

And he did.

FIN

I really hoped you guys liked this story- I think it was a good idea to end here 'cause any other ideas I had about it weren't that great. SO YEAH. Review and Comment! I will be doing another story shortly- I got this from another fanfiction about my other die hard couple from 6 season ago: Semma(Sean and Emma if you don't know) they were so cute together and didn't end up together-stupid Degrassi writers. Anyway, I'm doing one of their stories but making it my own. To avoid plagiarism or whatever this site calls it- I'm basically taking the idea of the story NOT COPYING IT. So be on the lookout for that soon.

Love you guys!
