It had been three days since that game and still no change in Adam's condition. The doctors were puzzled, there was no logical reason for his coma. All the tests had come back negative for any brain damage and he wasn't attached to a single machine.
"Why isn't he waking up?" Phil asked the latest doctor
"Mr. Banks I can't figure it out. There is nothing physically wrong with your son, it simply seems he's given up on living. Has anything happened recently that would make him not want to wake up? A fight with a family member or friend perhaps?" The man checked Adam's vitals and scribbled them onto a chart.
"No, not that I know of." Philip out and out lied he knew what it was. Adam didn't want to live without Larissa, just as she didn't want to go on without him.
"Hey Kenny is there any word?" Rissa jogged up behind him in the hallway
"Still the same Larissa. We're all going to see him today after school, you should come with us." Ken was on of the people that trusted her
"I really want to but the ducks and the Bankses hate me."
"I'll drive you if you want to go."
"Thanks Ken, I'll meet you in the court yard."
Larissa could hardly pay attention in any of her classes she was to pumped about going to the hospital. She'd spoken to Molly at lunch and she'd agreed no to go so Rissa could tell them she was Molly. Phil and Nancy having told the nurses to keep Larissa out. The team was all gathered in the courtyard discussing who was going in which car whose car. They immediately became silent upon seeing Larissa making her way toward them.
"You're coming too?" Connie had a snooty tone
"Ken invited me." The younger girl answered
"We're not gonna fight about this again. Let's just get in the cars and go." Their captain barked and they broke into groups
"Ken we stop at the store on the way? There's something I want to buy for Adam." Larissa slid into the passenger seat of Kenny's civic.
"Sure."
When Ken and Rissa arrived the rest of the team was already there. They had sent Banksie's parents to the cafeteria and Nicky was in with Adam. She looked at him with her chocolate eyes and signed. Nancy had told them the doctors theory that Adam had no will to live. She too knew it was because he lost the love on his life and only she also knew it was her fault.
"Banks, I don't know if you can hear me right now, but they tell me you're in there." Nicole began "Larissa didn't set you up Adam, I did. I planted the condoms on her and called her father telling him to keep and eye on you. The conversation where she confessed to sleeping with you never happened either. I told Dwayne that if he didn't tell you he over heard it I'd leave him. Please don't blame him I knew he loved me and used it against him. I was jealous or her and I wanted you back, I'm a rotten person I know that. I've known Rissa since she was 4 and I've never seen more happy then she was when she was with you. She loves you, so much. I can hear her cry herself to sleep every night, she misses you so much. I know she'd never do anything to hurt you. And this…this is breaking her heart. So you've gotta open you're eyes and wrap those strong arms of yours around her, because she needs you Adam, as much as you need her. I'm so sorry, I'll send her in now okay. I'm going to go tell the ducks the truth." Nicole exited the room and tapped Larissa on the shoulder.
"Go in now."
The auburn haired girl nodded and walked slowly into the room not fully closing the door behind her.
"Adam it's me." She sat on the chair at his bedside struggling to remain calm. "I know you probably don't want me here right now but I had to see you. I brought you Twizzlers to makeup for the ones I ate on you that day at the movies. Do you remember that day? I do I remember it like it was yesterday, I was so nervous, I put so much lip gloss on that night I could've waxed a floor with it. Adam I know you don't believe me, but I never did anything to hurt you. I love you so much, you used to love me to. You got me to skate again and I owe you so much for that. And that deal we made, you won. Ducks are the state champs, so I have to try out for the figure skating team next year. So you have to wake up, you have to be there." She looked down at him his lips slightly parted, his chest rising and falling rhythmically, it almost looked like he was sleeping. The last time she'd seen him like that had been the night they'd visited her father. And like she had the following morning she pressed her lips against his. This time however he didn't respond with kisses, he only laid there, looking beautiful.
"I thought I said I didn't want you in here." Larissa's head snapped up at the sound of Philips bitter and harsh tone
"Mr. Banks I…" She didn't hadn't even finished her sentence before Banks's father had grasped her arm roughly and was tugging her out the door.
"Dad, don't." A weak raspy voice came from the bed behind them
"Adam!" Larissa broke free from Phil's hand and dashed to Adam's bed side "I didn't do it Adam. I love you." She dropped to her knees beside him
"I know baby." Banksie's had came up gently caressing the side of her face "I know you didn't, I'm sorry I ever doubted you for a second."
Larissa was lost in his eyes it was great to see them open again. They were lacking their normal sparkle but still were the same sky blue that put her in a trance.
"I love you Larissa and I promise you I will never doubt you again. Can you forgive me for being a jerk?"
"Already done." She blinked back happy tears now as she brought her mouth to his again. This time the kiss was returned with everything he had. That was the way it was suppose to.
The End
