Guy went to bed almost instantly when they got home from the diner even
though it was only 9:00. Adam walked the ladies home and then came back to
his own dorm and went to bed.
Adam woke up the next morning to the sound of Guy yelling at him.
"Get your lazy ass outta bed! You're gonna be late!"
"Okay, alright. I'm up!" he yelled back. He sat up in his bed and Guy walked over and handed him a cup of coffee. Guy threw a pair of jeans and a shirt at Adam's head. "Guy, calm down, I've got an hour before I have to go."
"We're not going to the doctor's yet, you dunce, now get ready!" he yelled.
"Where the hell else would we possibly need to go at seven in the morning?" Adam asked annoyed.
"You'll see when we get there...and we're takin' my car so please try to keep your hands off of Connie's underwear!" he joked.
"I'll try to contain myself," he joked back. He finished his coffee and started getting dressed. At 7:15 there was a knock on the door and when Guy answered it Connie and Julie walked in beaming at the boys.
"Let's go," Connie said hustling the boys out door. Everyone quickly crammed into his car. Julie grabbed Adam the second the were in the car and they started making out.
"Get a room," Connie said giggling.
"Maybe we will," Julie said taking a breath.
"What's this all about my appointment isn't until like 8 and it's 7:..." He was cut off as Julie pulled him back in. Adam shrugged it off and went along with it.
Ten minutes later, they reached the hospital and they went inside. They took Adam into the hospital room that he'd be staying in. His room was filled with hockey posters and Mighty Ducks colored crepe paper and all kinds of hockey stuff everywhere and Bombay was standing at the side of his bed.
"Coach, it's great to see you," Adam said running to the other of the room and hugging Bombay.
"Do you like it?" Guy asked walking further into the room. "Since you were gonna be here for like a week we made it more like home."
"We'll come every day to visit you every day to bring your work..."
"...And to make-out," Julie said interrupting Connie. Everyone in the room laughed. All of the sudden Adam's happiness turned to terror when Dr. Barnes walked in and told him to go to the radiation room. After chemo, Dr. Barnes ran the same tests as she had before. These results were not encouraging. There had been no change. Julie and Guy escorted Adam back to his room.
"How'd your tests go?" Guy asked as they reached the room.
"Everything was the same as yesterday," Adam paused. "At least things didn't get worse." Guy pushed the doors open to a completely dark room. "Do you guys know where the lights are in this room? I haven't had time to even find the bathroom yet." Guy felt for the switch on the wall and flicked it on. All the Ducks jumped out.
"SURPRISE!!!!" Adam almost fell backwards out the door in surprise. He walked over to his bed and sat down. The Ducks had brought him tons of get well gifts. They spent about two hours there before Dr. Barnes finally kicked everyone but Julie out.
"Don't spend too long in here. I'll be back in an hour to kick you out. Adam needs his sleep," Dr. Barnes said leaving them alone in the room. Julie crawled up on the table and laid down beside Banksie.
"Thank you, tonight was great... well besides the tests and and stuff," Adam whispered to Julie.
"You better have liked it. Guy, Connie and I got up at three o'clock this morning planning and decorating. I'm so tired," Julie said yawning. Julie and Banks looked at each other and Julie got the sudden urge to jump Adam's bones. Julie and Adam began to kiss very extensive kisses. Julie must have made out with Banks for like an hour because Dr. Barnes came in and told her it was time to go.
Julie caught the bus and she thought about Adam almost all the way home. She must have been crazily in love with him. She couldn't get his tender kiss off her mind all night.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Adam knew that he needed to get to sleep but he just couldn't get Julie off his mind. Stupid leukemia!!!!! Stops him from doing WAY more than just hockey! After a few hours of thinking of nothing but Julie, Julie, and more Julie, he drifted off to much-needed sleep.
The next morning he awoke to the sound of a knock on his door.
"Come in," he called sleepily.
"Hey...sleep good?" Julie asked as she walked in the room.
"Fine."
Julie pulled up a chair controlling her urges to crawl up on the bed with Banks. "Good."
"What time is it?"
Julie looked at her watch. "It's like 10 o'clock. They're having a freak staff meeting today and they cancelled school."
"Are you serious? That rocks and here I am stuck in a hospital bed."
"Don't worry about it Adam. I'll just spend the whole day with you," she said smiling. "Guy and Connie went out to Ruby Tuesday's for a bite to eat and some dessert, but they'll be by later."
"Did you make sure that they didn't forget their handcuffs?" Adam asked. Julie laughed.
"Oh, don't worry, they weren't on Guy's bed." They both laughed again.
They talked for half an hour when they heard a soft knock at the door.
"Come in," Adam yelled.
In strolled Connie and Guy actually looking very close to normal. Except for the pink lipstick on the very tip of his dark green sweater.
"How are you doing Cake Eater?" Guy said pulling up a chair next to him and Connie pulled up one right next to Guy.
"I'm fine... How was Ruby Tuesday's?" Adam asked looking at the two of them.
"Ooh... Ruby Tuesday's was beyond belief," Guy smiled.
"Yea... incredible," Connie smiled. "Julie can I borrow your cell phone for a minute? Mine went dead in the car and Guy left his at home.
"Sure," Julie said digging around in her tiny purse. While shoving things around she pushed two large silver rings onto the floor.
Everyone stared at Julie. "There they are," Guy said picking up the handcuffs. "Now why didn't I think to look in Julie's purse?" Everyone laughed.
"I swear i didn't put them in there," Julie said looking at Banksie as inoccently as possible. At that moment Dr. Barnes walked into the room and Connie hastily shoved the handcuffs into her purse.
"Um...okay," she said looking at each of them and then back at Connie's purse. "Anyhow, Adam, it's time for some tests. You guys can wait here if you want. It'll be about an hour or so."
"Uh, yeah, we'll wait," said Julie. Adam stood up and walked out of the room with Dr. Barnes. Adam was very nervous about these tests. If two more of them came back unchanged or worse they were going to stop chemo because it would be useless. His heart sank when Dr. Barnes said that the results came back unchanged again. He had one chance to get a positive or else...
He walked into the room and laid down on the bed. Julie could see the test results written all over Adam's face. Connie, Guy, and Julie all looked at each other.
"Um, sweetie, how bad was it?" Julie asked Adam.
"I have one more chance to get better results or we're stopping chemo," he said trying to keep his voice steady. "Tomorrow could be the last chemotherapy session I ever have to go through." Julie had tears running down her face and she walked over and wrapped her arms around Adam. Guy sighed and looked at Connie she leaned onto his shoulder.
"It's okay Adam tomorrow is gonna be positive," Julie cooed into Adam's ear. Guy and Connie stood up.
"Listen, Banksie, Connie and I are going to leave you two alone," Guy said standing up and walking towards the door. "We'll be back later tonight." Adam nodded and scooted over so Julie could lay on the bed too.They laid there for a few minutes talking about the hand cuffs again. Julie was trying to comfort him by making him laugh and she was doing a good job.
Adam woke up the next morning to the sound of Guy yelling at him.
"Get your lazy ass outta bed! You're gonna be late!"
"Okay, alright. I'm up!" he yelled back. He sat up in his bed and Guy walked over and handed him a cup of coffee. Guy threw a pair of jeans and a shirt at Adam's head. "Guy, calm down, I've got an hour before I have to go."
