Adam's blood boiled as he sat across from Bobby wanting to jump over the table and strangle him with his bare hands. Fiona practically runs to the table and grabs Adam's hand.
"We have to go now!" She demands
"We were just talking" Adam says as calmly as possible.
Fiona turns to Bobby "you know you're not supposed to come near me. Especially before trial" she says
"I just wanted to meet the famous Adam. Can you blame me?" Bobby questions sarcastically
"Let's go before I hit him" Adam says with anger in his voice.
He gets up from the table and they leave the restaurant. Fiona has her arm tucked under his and she can feel the tightness in his muscles. He was tense and silent. She knew he was ready to explode with anger. Just as they pass the first block they hear Bobby call out from behind them
"Oh come on Gracie don't run away from me"
Adam looks at Fiona in shock. 'How could she tell him that?' He thought. Adam felt so betrayed. He lets her arm go and turns around to face bobby.
"What the hell do you want?" Adam questions with a violent look on his face. Adam looks like he's ready to pounce on Bobby.
"Oh look at this, Fiona has a protector now!"
"You have no idea who you're messing with" Adam threatens
"Adam please let's go!" Fiona begs.
At that moment Bobby takes a cheap shot and hits Adam in the left eye. Adam doesn't budge. He turns to look at Bobby and in a split second hits Bobby in the jaw with his right hand. Bobby falls to the floor as a police car runs up on to the sidewalk.
"Freeze!" A voice calls from the police car
Adam puts his hands up as he hears Fiona's cries behind him.
Immediately an officer grabs Adam and slams his face down on to the hood of the police car.
-mmmmm-
12 hours later Adam is told someone bailed him out. He knew it had to be Fiona. When he walks out front he sees Fiona and Declan waiting for him.
"Hey are you ok?" Declan asks
"I'm fine" he responds "did you drive here?" Adam adds
"Yeah I brought your car" Declan responds while reaching over to hand Adam the keys.
"You drive" he tells Declan while holding up his swollen right hand. "Hospital please" Adam adds
Declan immediately gets in to the car and starts it.
Fiona walks over to Adam and hugs him tightly. He only puts one arm around her. She knew he felt betrayed by what Bobby knew about him and she felt terrible for telling Bobby as much as he did.
-mmmmm-
While at the hospital Adam dissapears on Declan and Fiona after getting his hand put in to a cast.
They knew he couldn't have gone far, nor would he go far if Declan still had the keys to his car.
"Declan, I can't take this. He's starting to really worry me" Fiona says
"I'm sure he just went to the washroom or something" Declan responds.
"You didn't see him earlier... he's up to something I know it"
-mmmmm-
"Finally the room I am looking for" Adam says to himself under his breath
He opens the door and let's himself in.
When he closes the door Bobby's eyes open wide. He starts trying to scream but can't open his mouth because his face is wrapped up tightly. Adam can easily see that he broke Bobby's jaw.
"I will be quick.." Adam pauses "there was a camera right above me when I hit you. That's why I let you hit me first. So if you decide to press charges on me I will press them right back on to you. I can always say it was self defense. Now this is what you are going to do. You're going to confess to all of the times you hit Fi. You are going to give a written statement to the judge at your trial. If you don't do this... just remember, I only hit you once and you're in here. Imagine what I could do to you"
Adam quickly leaves the room and finds his way back down to the emergency room. He sees Fiona's face just as he turns the corner in the hallway.
"Where were you?" She yells
"I got lost..." he answers. He wasn't lying, he did get lost looking for Bobby's room.
"Declan just get us home" she demands
Declan drives them to her condo.
"Thanks for everything Declan" Adam says while hugging Declan.
"Anytime little bro" he responds.
Declan hops a taxi back home after hugging Fiona.
Adam silently follows Fiona upstairs to the condo. Once they make it inside she sits down on the sofa and pats the seat next to her so as to say for him to sit down.
He takes a seat.
"Care to tell me where you went when you got lost in the hospital?" She questions
Adam stays silent for a moment
"ADAM!" She yells turning to look his straight in the eyes.
"I went looking for Bobby's room" he responds in a low voice
"What the hell were you thinking?" She asks
"I just wanted to tell him something that's all" he replies
"Did you threaten him?"
"I just told him there was a camera above me when he hit me and if he decided to press charges i'd get the footage"
"That's all?" She questions
"Well he couldn't talk Fi, his jaw is broken" he replies
"Oh my god Adam. Who are you?" She questions
"What the hell does that mean?" Adam asks angrily
"Look at you, this wasn't the Adam I knew"
"Well this wasn't the Fiona I knew. The Fiona that I knew wouldn't have shared my personal details with some other guy" he pauses. Then continues
"You know what Fi... I don't know what you want from me. It's like you want some kind of wimp who can't stand up for himself. Or protect you. Well you know what, a prince protects his princess. By any means necessary" Adam says
"You promised me you wouldn't fight" Fiona responds in a low voice.
"Did you hear what he called me? And he hit me! Was I supposed to walk away?" Adam questions
Fiona doesn't respond. She knew he had a good point. No man would let someone hit him without throwing a punch in return. Selfishly all she could think of was how this could affect her trial. She knew she shouldn't be worrying about that at the moment when her and Adam were arguing but she couldn't help but come back to those thoughts.
"I'm going home Fi. I don't belong out here." Adam says breaking the silence.
Fiona couldn't speak. She tried to ask him not to go but she couldn't bring herself to speak without feeling like she was going to burst in to tears at any moment.
Minutes later she watches Adam leave the condo with his suitcase in his good hand...
Note: Don't hate me for that chapter! More Fadam loving coming soon, i promise!
