Disclaimer: I don't own Degrassi, sadly. However, I own Adelaide AND the Adelaide/Craig relationship! (I don't OWN Craig though!) You can steal if my character if you ask, JUST DON'T STEAL MY STORY!
A/N: Still continuing the song Until The Day I Die. Oh and, obviously..Craig and Ashley are NOT together in this fic!
Adelaide stood by Craig's door with an incredibly surprised look on her face. Craig Manning, the most gorgeous guy in school..LOVED HER? No way. Adelaide was staring at Craig in disbelief. He broke out into a grin. Taking her into his arms, he asked, "Will you be my girlfriend?"
Adelaide was breathing heavily. "Yes," Inside she was more frantic than she sounded. Inside, she was more like, YES YES YES YES!!!!!! "But, um, what about that chick that looks like Britney Spears?"
Craig pulled away, looking confused. He scratched his head in contemplation. "Who? Paige?" Craig didn't see what Paige had to do with anything.
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you
Adelaide shook her head. "No. That girl. Man something." Craig laughed. Man something? He was thinking. He knew she meant Manny, but he was almost about to crack up laughing.
"Manny's her name. Yea well I went out with her, and the date didn't go so well," Craig laughed, remembering the awful date. Manny had almost killed him that night! He remembered almost choking to death on cotton candy, and getting smacked in the eye with the ball from the game at the carnival. "She still is really upset about it. She likes me a lot."
Adelaide nodded, understanding. "Why wouldn't she? But I think she's a bit psycho if you ask me.." Adelaide had a weird look on her face.
Craig raised an eyebrow at her. "Why, what did she say to you?" He was interested. What was Manny telling everyone?
"She said that you're hers or something and that I had to stay away. I told her she looks like Britney Spears and I called her a lesbian. I told her to go make out with her little save-the-mongoose friend." Adelaide replied, laughing.
Craig gave Adelaide a surprised look. "Emma? She's, um..actually not that bad of a person. She's just concerned with the environment. Did you even talk to her?"
Adelaide shook her head. Geez, I didn't mean to offend him! Adelaide felt horrible now for saying that.
"No, I didn't talk to her. I'm sorry if I offended you, Craig." Adelaide knew tears were welling up in her eyes. Anything close to a fight terrified her. She knew that fights end relationships, because she had seen that in her parents. Adelaide turned away, and the tears flowed from her eyes. She couldn't hold her pain in. There were too many open wounds. She wasn't over having her heart broken the first time.
Yeah I'd spill my heart!!!
Yeah I'd spill my heart for you!!!
My hands are at your throat
And I think I hate you
We made the same mistakes
Mistakes like friends do
Craig took a tissue from a nearby tissue box, and wiped Adelaide's tears away. He never wanted to see her cry. Now HE felt terrible for making her cry! She was just overly sensitive, but he didn't know that. Craig frowned.
"No, I'm sorry, Ade. I didn't mean to jump all over you," He was studying her with his eyes, and then he realized why she's so sensitive. "I know there was probably some guy who did you wrong back in the past there. Whoever he was, he was stupid. Giving you up is the most idiotic thing a guy could ever do." Craig said sincerely.
Adelaide let a small smile creep up onto her face. "Actually, no." Craig raised his eyebrow. No to which part? He was confused, again.
"No to which part?" Craig asked.
Adelaide played with a string from her pants. She felt her face getting hot. She knew she'd have to tell him sometime.
"A guy that did me wrong. It..wasn't a guy," This was so hard for Adelaide. It was way too soon. "Craig, I'm bisexual."
Craig's mouth opened widely to form an 'O'. Then he smiled. "Okay. What I meant then, was..there was a girl that did you wrong. She was stupid." Craig didn't even care that she had been with a girl. Why would that even matter anyway? Some guys would find it kinky, and they'd be wanting a threesome. But not Craig.
Now it was Adelaide's turn to be surprised. "What, so it doesn't matter to you?" Adelaide asked, curious.
"No, it doesn't matter. I mean, it matters that she hurt you, but it doesn't matter that you were with a girl. It doesn't bother me at all. I feel the same way about you that I did just a minute ago. I love you, Adelaide. Why don't you understand that?"
Adelaide sat down on Craig's bed. She looked up at him. "I don't understand it, because I haven't been loved in so long. Marian..she cheated on me. I had been with her-" Adelaide had to stop because her voice broke. A tear fell from her eyes. Then another. And another.
Craig sat down beside Adelaide, rubbing her neck softly, he spoke. "It's alright, Adelaide. I understand. You're not ready."
Inside, Craig was feeling an emotional rollar coaster. Adelaide wasn't ready to love him with her full self. How come he had to push her so hard earlier? If he had known..
My hands are at your throat
And I think I hate you
We made the same mistakes
Made the same mistakes
Adelaide hated him so much for making her admit it. But at the same time, she felt relief. It was so confusing. She still loved Marian, with all of her heart. Then this love for Craig comes pushing in. She didn't know what to do. Adelaide didn't know why she still loved Marian. She felt as if she shouldn't, because of what Marian did to her. Adelaide just couldn't help it. She wasn't over her ex. She didn't even want them to break up in the first place, so how could she want anything or anyone else?
Craig slumped over sadly. Now she probably hated him. Sure, if she wasn't ready for a relationship, he understood. He would wait for as long as she wanted. But since he pushed so hard..if she hated him, there was no going back for them. Or was there?
Until the day I die
I'll spill my heart for you, for you
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you, for you
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
Until the day I die!!!
Craig didn't know. What he did know was that no girl had ever made him this confused in his entire life.
