Chapter 3
Adam's P.O.V
A week later, one by one the ducks returned from their spring break. I had missed them being around and honestly glad to have them back. Though in the time they had been away, I had spent a considerable amount of time with Julie. I felt we had gotten closer and as a result had gained more of an understanding of each other.
Connie and Guy where the first to reappear, Connie obviously thrilled to see her best friend again, I wasn't so sure about Julie. The look on her face as the girls embraced showed me anything but happiness, more like fear of feeling the same way she did before they left.
"Where's Guy"? I asked quickly changing the subject.
"Oh, he's just getting our bags". Connie answered leading Julie into their room.
A few minutes later Guy appeared laden down with 5 bags and struggling to fit through the door. I instantly took 2 of the bags from him.
"How long were you gone for"? I asked laughing.
"Can you believe we only took 3 bags. Connie decided that she needed some more of her things". Guy laughed as we sat down at the breakfast bar.
"So how did your parents take the news"? I asked gently approaching the subject.
"My parents took it incredibly well, in fact my Mom was ecstatic, but Connie's Dad didn't take it too well at first but he's come around to the idea".
"You weren't expecting him to do any other though were you". I said knowing full well what Connie's Dad was like.
"Nah we both knew he wouldn't take it fantastically well but he's ok now. Anyway what have you been getting up to? You and Julie been all alone and all". He said devilishly.
"Nothing is going on between us before you even think it. We've just been hanging out together watching films mainly". I replied putting him straight before he had the chance to even think anything had gone off between us.
"Wasn't gonna say a thing". He laughed raising his arms innocently. "Anyway what was up with Julie, she seemed a bit distant before we left"?
"Nothing that I know of. I think it's just that everyone was going to see their families and she wasn't". I excused her behavior.
"How come she didn't go home"? Guy asked. Julie had never really told any of the ducks except me and Connie about her family, it wasn't that she was trying to keep it all one big secret, it was simply because I could relate to her about families and Connie had actually met them.
"Her Dad's away on business and she doesn't really get on with her Mom and Brother". I replied truthfully, though not going deep into the reasons why.
"Families eh". Guy rested his hand on my shoulder then got up and headed to mine, Charlie and his room to unpack.
I sat staring around the apartment, thinking about what I could do. Connie was busy talking to Julie and Guy was unpacking. Suddenly the phone began ringing and I headed over to the phone, A hockey stick as the receiver and a puck as the holder.
"Hello". I asked politely.
"Yes, is Julie there"? A rather ignorant sounding person asked.
"Let me just see". I replied resting the phone on the side of the sofa. We had all learnt from past experiences not to say that they were in the dorm incase one of us didn't want to talk to the person calling. I knocked gently on Julie and Connie's door then popped my head around it. "Jules there's someone on the phone". I said softly.
"Who is it"? Came her only reply.
"I dunno, they sound rather posh". I replied not telling her about the ignorant thing.
"Oh God it'll be my Brother, I'm not in". She answered simply. I nodded my head and shut the door.
"I'm sorry, she's not in at the moment, can I take a message"? I spoke into the phone.
"No, I'm sure I'll catch her soon". Came the reply, then the phone went dead.
"Ignorant twat". I said.
"Whose an ignorant twat"? A voice said entering the room.
"Charlie". I looked up then headed over to him and gave him a quick hug. "Just this posh geezer on the phone". I explained. "So did you have a good time"?
"Yeah it was ok. I spent more time with my Mom than anything else. So who else is back"?
"Just Connie and Guy". I helped him by taking one of his bags from him.
"I wish you'd have come with me, it can't have been much fun here on your own". He followed me into the bedroom.
"I wasn't on my own. Jules didn't go home either". I said suddenly regretting my choice of words.
"Ohhh. Julie stayed too did she". Charlie raised his eyebrows.
"Yeah and they hardly left the dorm". Guy joined in.
"REALLY". Charlie's voice came over with interest.
"Nothing happened". I tried assuring them, but neither really paid attention just carried on laughing.
"Yeah right". Charlie continued.
"Don't let Julie hear you say that. She might get offended". Guy joined Charlie.
"Julie might get offended by what"? Julie said loudly, tapping her foot and arms folded with a rather annoyed looking face with Connie leaning over her shoulder.
"ER, nothing". Both Guy and Charlie said instantaneously.
"Adam"? Julie looked at me not as angry though.
"They both think something happened between us while they were gone". I told her truthfully.
"Well they'd be right wouldn't they". She replied. When she said that I thought I was going to die. Nothing had gone on between us. We were just friends, close friends at that but nothing more.
"What"! Connie, Guy and Charlie all shrieked. All I could do was stand there totally idiotically stunned. All three glanced at me as overwhelmed as myself.
"Yeah, did we or did we not watch movies and have fun together". She said looking totally emotionless. "As FRIENDS". She then said cracking a smile on her face.
As soon as she said those words I felt my heart start beating again. A let out a huge sigh of relief as did the other 3. Julie looked at me and smiled evilly.
"This might teach you not to assume things". She told the 3. "And as for you, I can't believe you actually thought I was going to tell them what really went on". She said walking out of the room, laughing silently with Connie hot on her heels.
They all knew she was joking about the last part but looked at me slyly anyway. Now I knew she was just kidding, I shrugged and begun laughing. It felt good to have a bit of the old Julie back. Though she wasn't all here just yet.
Within the hour most of the ducks had returned and caused havoc as usual. There was just Goldberg, Russ, Portman and Fulton to return. Though we surmised they would all turn up together as Russ had spent the week staying with Goldie and his family and Portman had stayed with Fulton. God only knows how Fulton's family coped with both of them. One was hard enough but two, that was heading towards suicidal.
Later on that evening when everyone had settled back in, we settled down to catch up on what we had each been doing. I had told Julie about her message a few hours ago, and she didn't seem absolutely enthralled by the fact that her Brother was trying to call her. Kenny was just about to give everyone their small gifts that he brought back every time he went home, usually they were just simple little things like bookmarks, postcards, pens and on the odd occasion home made sweets, when there was a knock at the door. Charlie being the closest got up immediately.
"Can I help you"? Charlie asked then was pushed aside as a body walked in.
OHHH who could it be??? PLEASE R&R!!!!
