I sighed as I walked out of the change rooms with Guy and Charlie. It had
been a while since I had been on the ice. Thank God Dr. Best gave the okay
for me before he thought that Josie was pregnant or I might have been
benched because of his biases.
"So, what are we planning to do about your situation?" Guy asked after being briefed on what happened while Charlie and I skipped Science.
I looked over at Charlie who looked over at me and we both shrugged. "No clue." I said depressed. After such a great practice, I have no clue how I could be so upset. "Charlie you always have a plan, come on! Think!"
Charlie frowned. "Banksie, my plans revolve around well thought out pranks and game plans. This is out of my league."
I rolled my eyes as we walked up the steps to our dorm. "Perfect just perfect; she's going to go to a girl's school and I'll never get to see her again."
"The only thing I can think of is eloping." Guy replied.
I scoffed. "I don't think she'll go for that. Besides I think it's a little impossible seeing were not even sixteen."
We walked the rest of the way to my dorm in complete silence. No ideas. I was going to lose her.
Charlie frowned as we walked to my door and heard extremely loud music being blasted from behind my door. "I thought Averman was going on a date!" Charlie yelled over the music.
"So did I!" I yelled back as I reached for the doorknob finding it was unlocked. I pushed open the door quickly and looked around usually neat room.
"Adam!" Josie said jumping from behind the door more giddily than a girl who just found out that she was going to an all girl's school. "Here have a beer!" She said grabbing one of the full brown bottles off my desk and pushing it into my chest, and quickly frolicked over to my bed and got on top of it.
I blinked at my room. Averman's side looked fairly normal other than the beer bottles scattered around his bed, but my half looked like a tornado has torn through it. "Josie, what happened?"
She shrugged. "I thought I would come by and surprise you!" She slurred slightly. "Surprise!" She yelled jumping off my bed and walking over to Charlie and ruffling his hair giggling.
"Yeah. That's nice." I replied turning down the music and guiding her over to my bed and sitting her down. "Why are you here?"
She motioned to Guy and Charlie to huddle up. "I'm hiding." She whispered.
Charlie smiled. "Good plan." He replied grabbing one of the beers of my desk and cracking it open.
I frowned at Charlie and grabbed the cool bottle from his hands. "You're encouraging her."
"Adam?" Josie said resting her head on my shoulder. "You know what? You are so cute. So smart. But, you need to loosen up!" She said getting up and turning the music back up and grabbed the opened bottle that I had taken away from Charlie.
Guy walked over to the stereo and turned it off as I grabbed Josie and took the beer out of her hands and gave it Charlie to take away, who instead sat down in my desk chair began to drink it. "I'm not even here and she's drinking." I murmured.
"Drunk! I'm drunk!" she corrected me as she stumbled towards my bed again.
I sighed and scooped her off her feet quickly and sat her down before she a) injured herself or b) trashed my room.
She smirked and wrapped her arms around my neck. "Thanks Adam." She giggled.
I rolled my eyes. "No problem." I said rolling my eyes and sitting her down and sitting beside her to make sure she doesn't go anywhere. "You realize you can't stay here. This is the first place your dad will look."
Josie pouted at me and rested her head on my shoulder again wrapping her arms around my torso. "But Adam!" She whined. "Erin is an evil bitch! I don't want to stay there. I want to stay with you. You're cute!"
I shook my head; if only she was saying that when her thoughts weren't distorted by alcohol. "Yes you've said that already, but they'll find you here."
Josie looked over at Charlie and jumped onto his lap. "I'll stay with Charlie Brown then!"
Charlie replied with an 'oof' and then with a "What!"
Josie squeezed him tight. "He likes me! I'll stay with him! My dad would never think of looking in his room!"
Guy snorted and then quickly realized that was his room too. "Whoa! Connie would have a cow if she knew there was a girl that wasn't her in my room."
"Josie, I don't think it would be smart if you stay in Charlie's room either." I said eying Charlie who looked pleasantly surprised.
Charlie shrugged. "I don't mind but I have no place to put her though."
I bit my lip. This was definitely not a good situation. If anyone, a teacher, any of our parents, or Orion came into the room right now, they would be kicked out of Eden Hall for underage drinking. "Ok, we need to get rid of these." I said picking up some of the bottles.
Josie got up off of Charlie and lifted up my mattress revealing an empty space from where the bed was built into the wall. "Ta-da! You're secret stash of beer!"
I sighed as Guy and Charlie got up and began to hide it under my bed, but only until I could find a way to dispose of it. I sat my mattress down in place and sat on my bed staring at Josie. "I wonder how many she had."
Guy smirked. "I say at least four."
Charlie frowned. "Is this while she was in Banksie's room or in her own?"
"It doesn't matter." Guy said shrugging.
"Five bucks she had six." Charlie said smiling, beginning to count the empties around my room.
"Guys! No time for bets!" I yelped at them. "I have an extremely drunk girl in my room and beer under my bed. We need to move her to you two's room without looking suspicious to one of the teachers' on hall duty." I glared at them both. "Any ideas?"
Guy smirked. "She stays here and we'll move her in the morning once she's slept it off."
I rolled my eyes. "It will be little late for that. You know exams."
Charlie glared at his roommate. "You do realize that you just cost me a drunken girl in my bed."
"You do realize that if you touched her you would have gotten your ass kicked." I stated getting Charlie's attention.
Josie's eyes fluttered open suddenly. "You guys. . ." She murmured sleepily. "Just rock." They seemed to get heavy again and closed.
Guy nodded. "And on that note, I think I'm going to go meet Connie and do some last minute cramming." He gave a mock salute to me and smirked. "Good luck!" He yelped as he ran out the door.
Charlie shifted uncomfortably on my bed and bit his lip as he eyed the door nervously, his eyes moving sharply to me and back to the door.
I sighed defeated. "You don't have to make a lame excuse. Go."
He made a guilty face. "Are you sure you can handle. . ."
"Yes go. I'll deal with the drunk girl. Go."
He grinned and jumped off the bed and ran out of the door before I could even yell a goodbye.
I shook my head as I got up and picked Josie off Averman's bed (mainly because I'm sure that his new girlfriend wouldn't be too pleased to find out there was a girl other than her on his bed) and moved her to mine. She immediately turned towards me and sighed. I reached out to her face and pulled a few loose strands of hair away from her face. "Josie; how do you get me into situations like these?" I asked quietly to her incoherent body.
She shivered a little and sighed in her sleep was her only response to me. She was out like a light.
I got up and grabbed an extra blanket from the top shelf of my closet. I unfolded it and let it fall gently onto her body. I sat at the foot of the bed and watched her sleep peacefully, a change from her upset and drunken ways. I scooted up closer to her head and brushed my fingers along her ivory cheek.
She stirred in her sleep, waking, barely able to keep her eyes open, let alone focus on me. "Peter?" She asked quietly.
I closed my eyes and shook my head. "No Adam."
She nodded and closed her eyes. "I like Adam." She murmured.
I got up off the bed and smiled. Good I like the fact she likes Adam . . . I mean me. I sat on my desk chair and opened my English book, leaving just the placid aura of the room.
~*~
I felt a hard jab on my shoulder blade and tried to ignore it although it pestered to me to open my eyes.
"Banksie! Wake up!"
I groaned and looked over at Averman who looked rather rattled. I blinked tiredly hoping he would get the message that I was tired as hell and I wanted to sleep. He stared at me back, waiting for my response. "Yes?" I finally replied.
"A girl just kissed me."
I groaned. "I'm glad your girlfriend kissed you." I turned around and rested my head in the way I was before.
He poked me again. "The girl was Josie."
"Where is she?" I asked suddenly alert. It was after eight, and she probably started drinking around the end of the last class of the day, and we had practice right after school, so she should be pretty much hung-over by now.
Averman pointed at the washroom. "She kissed me and ran in there."
I shook my head and got up and knocked on the door. "Jose?"
A loud retching noise came from behind the door in response.
"Josie you ok?" I asked.
"What happened?" Averman asked pointing to my side of the room that looked like a disaster.
I shrugged. "Long story." I tried knocking on the washroom door again. "Josie?"
The door opened and Josie stepped out, dark circles under eyes gave her face a sunken look, both tired and ill. "Yo." She said, trying to smirk the best she could, as she teetered on her feet unbalanced.
I weaved my arm around her waist and guided her towards the bed. "You ok?"
She nodded as she winced at my voice. "Promise me that you'll never allow me to drink ever again."
I scoffed as I sat her gently on the bed, pulling the covers off the bed. "You got it."
She frowned as I walked towards my desk and propped my head up with the heel of my hand and looked down upon my copy of 'Hamlet'. She looked over at Averman who had already crawled into his bed and began to read some of his notes for his exam. "Adam, are you going to stay at your desk all night?"
I shrugged. "I dunno." I replied as my eyes stayed glued to the book.
She bit her lip. "I forgot my notes in my room. Could you come here so I could at least look over your shoulder so I'm a little prepared for our exam?"
Averman suppressed a little laugh and looked over his glasses at Josie and I.
I rolled my eyes and got up and sat beside Josie on the bed. She immediately rested her head on my shoulder, making me throw an arm over her shoulders. I flipped the page and looked down at Josie who was reading over the page quickly.
I smirked as I looked over the page. Lying in bed with Josie was a whole lot better when I knew where I was and I knew that it was Josie I was lying with.

A/N: Ok, no Adam drunk because I could never be able to write a drunk Adam, but a drunk Josie; much easier because she is a figment of my imagination and I can make her do whatever I want! Muah ha ha ha ha ha! Now you see how Josie deals with grief and major change. Obviously, not well. Anyways, random shout outs!
Rachel- Ok, whoa, I thought you were flaming me for a minute until I reviewed your review, if that makes sense. Ok you don't like the fact that Josie is going to a different school. Uh . . . yeah that is kind of the point. Don't be mad at me! It just could be a reaction of a father who just had this weird idea that her daughter was pregnant. Yes it could be a Greek tragedy, the only difference is that it is modern day and you know, in America. But other than that the resemblance could be uncanny!
SPLASH Panther- Oh go ahead! Please tell me what Josie's father is! Use any curse words and be different! I may use it in a future argument! That Josie or Adam or someone says to Dr. Best! I'm not exactly sure if ALL girl schools are like that, but I do know some are like that. Some are for like delinquent girls and you aren't allowed to have anyone but relatives visit you and I'm pretty sure that all girls' schools don't allow male visitors unless they are, or accompanied by a relative. But I'm not exactly sure. I'm just a regular Canadian who is in the public school system! Sorry!
Beaner- Adam didn't get slapped this chapter! However this time he found a drunk girl in his room, which could be a plus or a minus, depending on which way you look at it. So yeah, this week, actually, I would say the last 2 weeks, have not been Adam's most shining moments. *runs up to Adam and squeezes him tightly* Don't worry he'll be fine, right Adam? *Adam nods in agreement and frolics off into the author's backyard* Yeah I'm pretty sure I'll put the headline for the school newspaper in for next chapter. I'm brainstorming. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED! Yes I understand that you want Josie to stay, but it's just a little twist in our plot so just stay tuned and we'll see ok? Ok so you're not stealing my thoughts. But I still think we're sending each other thought messages. Hmmm . . . maybe. It would be cool!
Tara- Nope I didn't plan it that way, it just happened, but I'm glad it made you happy. I'm an angel am I? *grins happily* Really, everyone else I know says I'm evil. Whatev. Yes, I do love slapping Adam around. I'm sorry. I've promised Adam I will not slap him anymore, however I cannot promise any violence coming from Will, which comes in the forms of punching. *Adam runs up from behind author* Adam: "Kicking too!! He has steel toed boots and they hurt like hell!" *Adam goes back to frolicking in author's backyard* Yes I know it sucks that Josie could be moving and I know that the 'it's on' lines was rather confuzzling, but I thought it seemed appropriate at the time. Yes Charlie was mainly there for comic relief. And don't worry about Adam. *Adam runs up and gives author a big hug* See! After everything I have put him through he still loves me! No worries!
Review!
