Author's Note: Okay - thanks for your kind reviews! On the suggestion of one of my reviewers I will be adding some couples to the story! Just give me some time! LOL - It could quite possibly be in this chapter! You never know I could get some massive brain wave - but then again the existence of UFOs (or something unexplained like that!) is more likely! LOL Well once again suggestions please! jess_from_ns@hotmail.com! & also tell me what you think of the title! I can't believe I actually though of one! Oh yea - thanks to Shannon for giving me the idea of who to pair up as a couple!!

As Adam lay on his bead he thought about the summer that had just passed. He spent a month with his grandparents in Ohio, and the rest of the time in Minnesota. Words could not describe how happy he was to finally be away from home. It was common knowledge that his parents didn't get along at all. Philip was the controlling father figure, who only cared about pride - Pride at any cost!, and his mother Ellen was much more liberal, allowing her children to make their own choices, she didn't care what hockey team Adam played for like Philip did she just wanted her son to be happy. As you can tell they are complete opposites, but many years ago they were very much alike. Until the horrible day when Adam's sister Jennifer died. Adam was only 6 when she died of crib death, he didn't know what happened at the time, but he knew his father blamed his mother. But, only months after the death of Jennifer, came Jordan, yet another hard scenario for a 6 year old to comprehend! First his
baby sister dies and then only about 11 months later he has another baby sibling. Adam started to with draw from the world, the once loud and out spoken kid, now spoke very little. His father began to ignore him, focusing all his attention on baby Jordan, that's when Adam took up hockey. He first learnt how to skate from his older brothers, once his father saw his son playing hockey - several years later, Adam was quickly enrolled in the local Pee Wee league. But he still remained withdrawn.
A tear fell down Adam's cheek as he snapped back to reality. Looking over at the clock on the wall, he realized he had been "spaced out" for about an hour. Time to start unpacking! He walked over to Charlie's CD player and turned it on, as the sounds of Linkin Park's "In the End" began to play Adam got to work!
No more then 5 minutes later there was a knock at the door. Feeling rather annoyed Adam opened the door.
"JULIE!", he exclaimed.
"Hey Adam! Long time no see", Julie replied as they hugged.
"Come on in", Adam said to her.
No sooner had they got in, and found the stash of soda, Charlie came bursting though the door!
"Adam!", he said.
"Hey Charlie!", Adam replied as he hugged his best friend.
"Ummm, am I interrupting anything here??", Charlie asked looking over at Julie.
"You wish don't you Charlie!?", she replied is a sarcastic tone as she got up to hug him.
"You never know", Charlie replied.
"Well I'll see you guys at dinner a bit later, I have tones of unpacking to do, and it looks like you do to Adam!", Julie called as she walked out of the room.
Adam quickly got back to work. There was silence in the room.
"So when are you going to make your move on Julie??", Charlie asked as he broke the silence.
"Excuse me?", Adam replied a bit annoyed.
"Look Adam it's obvious that she likes you, and I KNOW you like her. Don't try to deny it you told me yourself! So common ask her out!", Charlie stated.
"So what if I like her, how can I be certain she likes me too?", Adam questioned.
"Because"
"Because why??"
"Okay I wasn't supposed to say anything. But..... Julie told Connie & Linda, and Linda told me. - Happy??", Charlie retorted.
"Yes"
"Then ask her out!!"
"If I promise to seriously consider it will you at least let me unpack in peace???", Adam asked.
"Sure!", Charlie replied, "I'll be in the lounge if you need any help"
"THANK YOU!", Adam said in a hushed tone looking up at the ceiling.

Author's Note: Okay I think this Chapter was kind of Cheesy. I understand if the first paragraph was kind of confusing. It's just that I had a rush of ideas coming at me (my brain actually worked!) - you writers know the feeling! Remember suggestions welcomed! - jess_from_ns@hotmail.com!
