I was so confused. Who was I? What…What were those extremely frightening through revolving through my head? I looked up to find Adam watching me with intensifying blue eyes. They drew me to him, but I didn't want them to. It would only confirm my fears. So I looked at the floor, staring down the carpet, blue like Adam eyes. No! No blue, no blue! I seeked comfort in looking at my hands. What to tell him, what to tell my best friend. I looked up again, daring to gaze into my best friend's eyes. I had to prove that I wasn't…but when I raised my eyes, his head was lowered, almost fearfully.
"You see," I was surprised to hear that it was me who had been speaking, that it was my voice, "You see, I've been utterly confused for the past while."
"It-it's nothing, um, a-abnormal," he stammered, looking past me. What was going on?
"N-no, it' not just normal confusion. I-I-I…I'm confused about who I am," I confessed.
Adam paused and after a beat, he laid back on Guy's bed to stare at the ceiling, "What do you mean, who you are?" Sweat was spilling over my body and my heart was beating faster than it had been even before Goldberg made the last goal during the JV-Varsity showdown. What was I going to say? What was he going to do?
"I don't know if I like girls or guys or both!" I blurted out. There was absolute silence. It was so quiet, it was loud. I refused to look up, but I don't think Adam was looking either.
"Wh-what do you mean?" he asked, voice cracking slightly.
"You're not…mad?" I responded with a question after a beat of shock and amazement.
"Don't be ridiculous! Now elaborate," he demanded.
"Well," I sighed, "You know I loved Linda and I liked Kori for awhile too."
"Wait. Liked? Past tense?" Damn it, Charlie! You messed up again!
"Well, you know I'm still wobbling on the fence here."
"Oh, I see," he sounded slightly let down, but I didn't pay much attention to it.
"But late I've been seeing posters, billboards, TV, and magazine ads of famous celebrities. Male celebrities. And I find myself…attracted to them. Thinking they're cute, but I look at female celebrities and I still think they're cute. And what's more," I took in a deep breath. Once I got started, it was a lot easier, "I find myself eyeing guys in school, thinking about the blond hair…" I trailed off realizing I was thinking about the one person I didn't want to be thinking about. Adam, "brown hair…you know, the muscles." I heard Adam take in a sharp breath.
"Charlie?" he spoke with a tiny bit of unexpected satisfaction in his voice.
"Adam."
"I think I can identify your…identity crisis."
"You can?" I sat all the way up.
"Yeah. You're bisexual," he threw the term out there casually as if it was used in my everyday vocabulary. But it wasn't.
"Bi-bisexual?"
"Don't sound so scared, Spaz." What was he talking about? Don't sound so scared? Was he crazy?
"Wh-what?"
"It's nothing to be afraid of, it's who you are." He sat up.
"Sure you may accept it, you're my best friend but…" I made the mistake of looking into his eyes. We both fell silent, my muddy eyes focused on his beautiful ocean of eyes. I didn't even scold myself for thinking those thoughts, I just let myself fall. It was as if nothing was around us, like it was me and him and the rest of the world was gone. They could have jumped off the edge of the universe for all I cared. All I wanted was to get lost in Adam's eyes. I never wanted him to leave. And for a moment I caught desire flash across his eyes sending them into a deeper blue.
"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow, Connie. Good night. Hey…Charlie," Guy came into the room, catching a glimpse of us, "Uh…Banks? Charlie?" And with that, the magic connecting us was gone. Adam glanced at Guy frantically.
"Hey Guys. I, uh, I got to go," Then he turned to me, "Charlie," he whispered, "Me too." Without so much as a good night, Adam was gone. What…What just happened?
Thanks for the reviews!
Mestmaddi: Yeah, Kori is kind Mary-Sueish…not so much as another OC I made in another story. Now she is a Mary-Sue. Hehe, well try as I did, I couldn't make Kori not Mary-Sue oh well…I did try. But I kinda like her, she's kind of cool. Thanks for reading!
Scootergirl: Thanks, it's one of my favorite stories I've written =D
Kellyerielf: Yes, Bangst is a wonderful thing. Still I kind of feel bad for him for all the brutality dished at him. But I don't feel bad enough not to put Bangst in my story hehe, I'm so mean. Oh well. And no, you're not being whiny. I understand this tension mounting up, you know?
Gothic Author: I'll take your comment as a compliment…I think *smiles confusedly*. Oh well, thanks for reading!!!
Flat*Out*Crazy: How'd you know? Are you a mind reader or something? Okay, okay, just don't tell anyone else. Except it's probably predictable enough, hehe.
LB: SURPRISE!!!! Lol, sorry I do the cliff-hanger thing, although some of the chapters weren't too cliff-hangerish. =D
Hilde7085: Oh yes, I'm a horrible person. It's what I do…lol no I'm just joking. Here's another chapter for you, please don't kill me.
Sphinx the Minx: That would be too easy for them. Besides the whole point of this story is for Charlie to realize he loves Adam, hence the title. Oops…did I just say that? Oh well, not like you didn't already know, lol.
WeBuiltThisCityOnRockAndRoll: Guy is hot, isn't he? Well, there's more of him in this chapter, hope you liked it!! It's okay, obsessions are only healthy…you're talking to an obsession freak here =D
