On with the story..
Charlie walked in from school Jess and Julie trailing behind. Boxes filled the living room.
"Hey Charlie. Jesse, Julie great to see you guys." Coach said smiling big at all of us. "Adam and your Mom are in the back unpacking." Charlie and the gang started back that way. "Charlie," they all stopped short and turned back, "come here one second, listen I know there are some hard feelings between you and him but he's going through a rough time, at least try to be nice."
"I'll try Coach, but I don't know if its gonna work."
"What about you guys?" He said looking at each of them.
"I'll try coach but I don't know if it's gonna work." Jesse replied.
"Oh I think it will work. He has said less that five words since he got here."
They all nodded in agreement and headed towards the fridge grabbing sodas. Charlie grabbed an extra one and they headed down the hall. Charlie paused at the first door on the left. In the middle his Mom was making up a bed with dark blue sheets, on the other corner of the room Adam stood unpacking books onto a desk. Charlie stood there silently for a minute looking at him, he was almost six foot he had the same light brown hair. He was wearing a plan pair of blue jeans and red t-shirt.
Charlie knocked light on the doorframe. His mom looked up and smiled at him, "Charlie your home. Come on in. Adam, this is my son Charlie and his friend Jesse and Julie." "Hey." Charlie said awkwardly.
"Hi." Adam said glancing at him then fixing his gaze at the floor.
(All right into Adams head we go) I got to Gordon and Casey's apartment around noon. The social worker took me up there and introduced us. We went out for lunch I sat there silently while the adults talked everything over.
"So Adam do you still play hockey?" Gordon asked with a warm smile.
I know he's trying to be nice, but hockey is the last thing on my mind right now. But instead I smiled a little and simply said, "Yeah, I played hockey up at Jostens."
"That's great. Maybe you can check out my team, see if you interested in playing."
"Yeah Maybe." Lunch went smoothly for the most part. The three of us went back to the apartment and stood there awkwardly for a few minutes.
"Well why don't I show you your bed room." Casey said walking back down a narrow hallway. She opened a door and I stepped in. It was small rooms with a mattress in one corner a nightstand beside it and a desk on the far wall, the wall were light blue. Looking around it wasn't that bad.
"It's nice." I said trying to break the silence.
"Oh I'm so glad you like it. I know its small, and if you don't like blue we can change it."
"Hey Casey don't sweat it. It's fine. I think I'll start unpacking if that alright with you"
"Yeah sweetheart. Do you need any help?"
"Uh not right now, but I'll call if I need anything." She smile and turned on out. I followed her back to the living room and grabbed a couple boxes. I unpacked quietly in my room for quite a few hours.
Casey came in around four thirty and offered to help me make my bed. I agreed quietly. She talked to me about herself a little. I felt a bad, I know she's trying really hard I just didn't feel like making small talk. We were just about done when there was a knock at my door. I glanced up to see three teenagers around my age standing in my doorway.
"Charlie your home. Come on in. Adam, this is my son Charlie and his friend Jesse and Julie." Casey said. Oh great he brought reinforcements I sigh inwardly.
"Hey." Charlie managed to say after an awkward pause.
"Hi" I replied with a slight smile. I glanced back down at the floor then I saw a Pepsi being offered to me. I glanced up curious and was shocked to see Charlie. I took the pop and mumbled, "Thank you." I could see Casey beaming thrilled that Charlie was trying to be nice to me.
We stood there silently for a while longer no one knowing what to say.
"Hey, what's going on back here?" Gordon pocked his head, the lifesaver that he is.
"Oh not much, I was just introducing the boys." Casey said smiling at him.
"That's great. Dinner is ready. I assume you two are staying?" he said smiling at Julie and Jesse.
"Of' course." Jesse replied, "I'll have to call my parents, but if it's alright with you guys, I'd love to stay." Julie said sweetly. Adam couldn't help but role his eyes, she was hot but he couldn't stand perky people. Everyone filled out of the room, but I lingered for a minute thinking.
Jostens had been filled with rich perky people, and I no longer had the patients for them. It's kind of weird but having your parent's die you come to some odd realizations. Like the fact the whole world dose not revolve around Homecoming, and hockey games, and who broke up with who drama. It's scary to think there is the whole big world out there and there is absolutely no one to help get thought it. Maybe once Nick gets here it'll be easier but I'll never be the old Adam, in fact nothing will ever be the same.
