Title: More Than You'll Ever Know

This chapter: Uh…just read it. =D
Oh yeah and PyroRockerGirl, yeah I made Jessica out to be a Mary-Sue. Oops, didn't mean to do that. Oh well, what can I do? More bad things are going to happen to her, but right after that it's Adam's turn to have a little bad luck. You'll see what I mean. But yeah, a lot of bad things happen to Jessica, but I'm not sure why I made it out to be like that….hmm…oh well. Thanks for pointing that out. I read the story again, and I flinched too lol.
Guy
After the funeral, I saw Charlie run off and was about to go after him, but Kenny stopped me. I sighed and looked at Connie who smiled sadly at me. We'd decided a while ago that although we loved each other dearly, we spent too much time together. We were almost suffocating each other and we needed a break or we'd both blow up. It wasn't working out too badly at that point.
I saw Banks leave quietly. Jessica met him right at the fringe of the grassy field, hugging him tightly as his body slumped. He walked away with her, speaking softly. Fulton came up next to me.
"You think we should talk to him?" he asked, reading my thoughts.
"I don't know," I shook my head, "I'm not sure Charlie would be too happy about that."
"I don't see Charlie anywhere," Averman commented.
"I feel bad for him." I spun around to find that Connie stood behind me. Julie nodded, agreeing.
Goldberg sighed, "He used to talk…" I smirked,
"Well no one talks to him much anymore."
"So let's go!" Russ said leading the way. Luis rolled his eyes and smiled, running off after Russ.
When we reached Varsity dorms, I realized we had absolutely no clue where Banks' dorm room was. Julie caught Scooter in the hall. He looked almost scared of us, "Um, hi."
"Is Adam around?" I asked casually, holding my hands up to show we weren't doing anything fishy.
"What did he do to you? Because he had no clue about the dinner thing. We didn't tell him until after we left, I swear."
"Nothing," Luis insisted, "We came to apologize to Banksie."
"Oh," He looked happier, "Good." Another Varsity player walked by, "Hey Scooter, could you get Cole to…hi." He spotted us.
"They're not doing anything," Scooter assured him, "Do you know where Banksie went?"
The other guy shrugged, "He and Jessica came in a few minutes ago. I think they're getting along better than they were before."
"I think Banks likes her."
"I think Bombay likes him."
"Hmmm," Scooter turned back to us, "Check Adam's room and then check Jessica's if he's not there."
"Thanks," We walked away.
"This is Adam's room," I said a few minutes later approaching yet another brown door.
"How do you know?" Dwayne asked.
"Because," I pointed to the bulletin board next to the door, "his name's right there."
"Oh."
Averman read a note out loud, "Adam, went out. Sleep, don't wait up. Cole. Dated…the night before the dinner…"
"They were planning it without him," Russ realized.
"Then that must mean that he really didn't know," I said, looking around at everyone.
"Shit," Fulton cursed. Luis knocked on the door, but Cole answered it, "What do you pukes want?"
"Adam."
"Not here. Now go away and don't bother him either." What was with Varsity? Why were they so protective? This was a side of Varsity I'd never seen and, for some reason, was uncomfortable seeing. Maybe it was because of their tough reps that I didn't want to see the soft side of them. We walked to the very end of the hall and found Jessica's name on the bulletin board, which was practically covered in crude notes other people left for her about Zak. The only good note there was 'Jess, practice tomorrow morning. Riley.' I shook my head as Fulton knocked on the door.
"Hold up, I'm coming! Riley, if that's you," she opened the door, "Oh. Hi, what's up?"
"Is Adam there?" Fulton asked as gently as he could.
"Yeah," Jessica stepped away from the door, "He's sleeping though. You can come in and I'll wake him." We all filed in on tip-toe.
"Why were you yelling if he was sleeping?" Connie asked suspiciously.
"Adam sleeps through everything," she replied, looking at us strangely as if she expected us to know that, before turning to Adam shaking him gently, "Adam, get up. Your friends are here."
Adam stirred after Jessica shook him again, "I don't have friends Jess."
"You do have friends. Why would they be here if they weren't your friends? Why would they look for you if they weren't your friends?" she had a way with words, I'll admit. Adam rubbed his eyes and sat all the way up. When he saw us, he sighed. Jessica got up from her sitting position and patted his shoulder.
"That's my cue to exit. I'm going to go practice." She picked up a guitar and left. Jessica played guitar? Who would've thunk?!
"Look, I didn't do it. Whatever Varsity did, I don't' have anything to do with it. What did they do? I'll tell them to stop if you want."
'Oh boy,' I thought, 'This is going to be tough.'
