Chapter 11:

Sheldon was glad to make it home, people caught on to what was going on between Hawkes and Denver. He just hoped that it didn't get over to Don, he would kill him, he was sure of it.

Hawkes was watching the Discovery Channel, with a beer in his hand. He really didn't want to invite Camille over, he didn't know his feelings towards her anymore. Sheldon felt his eyes get heavy when he heard a loud banging on his apartment door.

He groaned, pushing himself off of the couch, placing the bottle on the table, and going to open the door. He opened it and there appeared an upset looking Don Flack.

"What is it Flack?" Sheldon asked, not really in the mood for confrontation.

"You tell me Hawkes, why is my girlfriend ignoring my messages. And also she came to the precinct telling me that maybe me and her should take a break. Then she told me to come and talk to you about it. What did you do to Denver?"

"I don't think I should tell you. I really don't want you to get upset."

"Just tell me Sheldon," Flack crossed his arms.

"Camille let it slip to her that I'm still in love with Denver," he sighed in defeat.

"What do you mean still in love with her? How long have you felt this way about her?"

"Since I first met her, but then she felt attracted to you and it's hard seeing her with someone else," Hawkes sighed.

"I know you two kissed the other day, she told me about it because she felt guilty. So what I can't understand is why you couldn't tell me your feelings for Denver. Because now she is confused, and I swear I don't know what I'm supposed to do to help her out."

"In my opinion, if she wants space I would give it to her."

"Oh I'm going to give her space, I'm done trying to please that woman. Have fun with her, because I... I just can't handle this anymore," Don huffed and left Sheldon's apartment, closing the door shut.

"Thanks for coming over Adam," Denver was snuggled into him on the couch as they were watching The Dark Knight.

"I didn't have anywhere else to be anyways," he smiled, feeling a little uncomfortable her arms wrapped around him.

"I have to apologize for bringing you into my problems with Sheldon," Denver frowned, looking up at her friend.

"Don't worry about it Denver."

"I have to pay you back somehow, you really don't deserve this, because I know that you're close to Sheldon too."

"I just want to know why you're so mad at him just because he held from the fact that he's in love with you."

Denver frowned, "It's just that I trusted Sheldon to always be honest with me, no matter what. A few days ago when we kissed we agreed that I should just be with Don to save us from the trouble. He should have told me about his feelings."

"Maybe he was just trying to protect you from the truth. If there is something I know is that he cares about you, and doesn't want you to get hurt."

"But you do see how that turned out, I end up getting hurt anyways. Sheldon doesn't deserve me."

"He doesn't deserve you pushing him away just because you found out his true feelings for you."

"What if you found out that Stella was in love with you, and didn't even tell you about it?" Denver asked.

"I would be a little upset at first that she would hold something that big from me, but I would understand why. We work together, so do you and Sheldon, but you are dating Don I can understand why he would want to withhold information."

"Maybe I overreacted just a little, but how can I possibly look at Sheldon after this? How can I look at Don after this? Don was the best thing that ever happened to me and my feelings for Sheldon just destroyed a perfectly good relationship. I'm a horrible person."

"No you are an amazing person, you just are bad at controlling your feelings."

Denver nodded, "Yeah, you're right Adam. I'm horrible at controlling my feelings, I shouldn't even feel this way for my best friend. Life is complicated."

"Actually, love is complicated, if you make it that way."

"God Adam, you really need a girlfriend, you seem like you can control your feelings."

"Not with you snuggling into me."

"Damn, I'm sorry, I made you uncomfortable. Apparently that's what I'm good at."

"Hey Denver, it's no big deal, it's just that I haven't had a girlfriend in a long time, so I'm uncomfortable to any kind of contact you give me."

Denver looked at Adam curiously, "Adam, if you had a thing for me, would you tell me?"

"Um... I don't know," he nervously rubbed the back of his neck. "I've always found you attractive, plus you are way out of my league, no offense."

"None taken dude," she nudged him in the side. "How could I take offense to that? How about I help you find a woman who is good for you?"

"Can they be someone like Stella or Jess?" Adam asked.

"Adam Ross, you're telling me you had a thing for Jess Angell?"

He nodded, "I still keep in contact with her."

"Damn Adam, I gotta high five you for that," she held out her hand and Adam shook his head, giving her a five anyway.

"Does Don know this?"

"Yeah, well he kind of saw Jess kiss me, but he doesn't necessarily know that I had a thing for her. I told him the kiss meant nothing, but a goodbye, as she was leaving to work in the New Jersey police department for a few months, and if she didn't like the new environment, she could always come back to New York."

"Is she coming back?"

"She emailed me saying she gave Jersey her two weeks notice because she is coming back to be with our police department."

"I'm happy for you Adam, you deserve someone like her. Jess might be a little out of your league, but if you're happy, then so am I," Denver pulled her friend into a hug and they continued watching the movie.

Well did Adam liking Jess come off as a shocker to you? And what about Don's conversation with Hawkes? And just how much longer is Denver going to go without talking to Sheldon? Thanks for taking the time to read, now if you can, take the time to review as well... it'll mean a lot to me.
