Thank you to all my wonderful reviewers. (
Hey guys, There is a recent picture of Vincent Larusso at the welcome page to the new version of the Sween on top website. Apparently, there's more coming soon! I'm pretty excited about it. I know I'm a dork. If anyone is interested and doesn't know about the website, let me know and I'll e-mail the link to you. I would put it here, but FF.Net doesn't allow it. (

A NEW FAMILY -CHAPTER 18
ADAMS POV
I was so nervous to go back downstairs. I took a deep breathe, and decided I had to get this over with. I got up and walked over to the door, where I had hung my clothes after I ironed them. My clothes were gone. They came up here and stole my ironed clothes. This was a new low even for them. I calmed down a bit and decided that I would just have to wear jeans and a polo shirt, because the rest of my dressy clothes were still in the garage with most of my belongings. I opened my drawer, only to find it empty. The same was true for all the rest of my drawers and my closet. I had no clothes to put on. What the hell was I going to do?
I can't go down there naked. I thought for a while, and realized there wasn't much I could do. I was just about to give up, when an idea popped into my head. I smiled an almost devilish smile as I threw the door to my room open and walked my half naked, towel clad butt over to Charlie's room. I would probably be able to find something suitable to wear in here.
I found a pair of jeans and a pretty nice sweater. It didn't fit perfectly, but it was pretty close. I looked around the room for a hat for a while and smiled when I settled on the one I wanted to wear. It was Charlie's favorite hat. He was very protective of the stupid thing. He wouldn't even let his best friends wear it. I laughed a little to myself, and grabbed the very worn and tattered Mighty Ducks hat. I threw it on over my extremely nasty looking green hair, and headed down stairs all decked out in Charlie's clothes.
I walked down the stairs and had to hold back from laughing when I saw the look on Charlie's face. It was priceless. I guess you could call it a mix of shock and anger. It was hysterical. It looked like Gordon was stifling laughter himself. Casey smiled a little and tried to pretend not to notice.
"Alright," Dean Buckley and Coach Orion meet Adam Banks." Gordon said trying to cut the tension in the room.
After the pleasantries we sat down to eat.
"So Adam, What brought you to Eden Hall and Minnesota?" Dean Buckley said obviously having no clue about my situation.
The room got real quiet. "My parents died." I answered.
"Oh, I'm sorry." He looked like he felt terrible.
"It's Ok, you didn't know." I said giving him a slight smile.
Coach Orion broke the silence. "Why should we bend the rules and give you a spot on the team? I know that you come from a very well off family, but I don't bend rules just because people have money."
"First of all, I don't think that my family or the money they left me has anything to do with this," I said getting a little mad. Gordon shot me a calm down if you want to get on the team look that I just shrugged off. "This isn't anything except for a sixteen year old boy trying to get on a high school hockey team. So, let's not make it about my money or the fact that the Ducks hate me. Hockey is the only remnant I have left of my old life. I started playing hockey when I was three years old. I'm not asking you to give me anything. I'm asking for the opportunity to show you what I got. I don't need a formal tryout. Give me five minutes of playtime and you can make your mind up on that."
"You're very confident," Dean Buckley said.
I smiled back. "About hockey I am, everything else in life is the problem."
I looked back at Orion, "All I'm asking is that you see me play before you cast me aside."
"I'll see you play." Orion answered. "Come to our practice on Tuesday and you'll get some time to show me what you got."
"Thank you." I answered.
Dinner continued on while we made some more small talk. Charlie was really pissed. He was hardly saying anything. Orion and Buckley left after we ate. They said that they would both be at the practice on Tuesday. They would decide then weather or not I could be on the team. Gordon and Casey went into the kitchen to clean up and left Charlie and I in the living room by ourselves. I don't know what they were thinking.
Charlie came over to me. "What the hell is your problem, huh Banks. Don't ever go through my shit again. You're a guest in this house."
"Give me a break. Ok Conway, Why the fuck do you think that I would take your clothes. Maybe because you and your little Duck buddies took all of mine, you're just mad because your little plan back fired. I think that tonight is a very good lesson for you. I'm not going to take it sitting down anymore. For every little duck trick that you play on me, there will be something equally bad done to you. I'm just as capable of pulling this shit as you are. Don't cross me again." I laughed a little, "You know you think my whole goal of coming here was to ruin your life. That was never my intention. I just didn't have anywhere else to go. Be careful what you wish for Conway. You can have the hat back when I get all my clothes back, and a signed apology from all the ducks that were here tonight." As I walked back upstairs, I thought how good it felt that I finally stood up for myself.
