Nellie2- Thank you so much. But I'm keeping my lips sealed, you'll have to
wait and see about Adam and Julie.
(adam) Dinner passed with casual conversation. I stayed out of it; I mean there a family I fell like I was intruding. I picked at the food but barley ate anything. Truth was I hadn't been hungry in days. When I asked to be excuse everyone stared at me slightly but said okay. I got up cleared my plate and headed to my room. I pulled out my novel and settled into bed. Exhausted from all the work of the day I fell asleep immediately.
(Charlie) After about five minutes of awkward silence, Coach broke the silence with his normal jokes. After a while I fell back into the normal scheme of thing goofing off with my friends. Truth was I had no clue Adam was there until he asked to be excused. I tried my hardest not to giggle, I mean who the heck is this kid, I normally just get up and leave. He even cleared his plate; Darn preppy was making me look bad.
"He hardly ate three bites." Mom said worrying as usual.
"Hey Casey, give him some time. Once he adjust better I'm sure things will work out." Coach said with a reassuring smile. That made Mom smile. I like the fact Coach can make Mom smile. Corny as it sounds I do want my Mom to be happy.
"Wonderful dinner Casey, thank you for letting me stay." Julie said. She sure dose know how to suck up. She's all cute and sweet around people get out on the ice and I swear that girl could rip me in two goalie or not.
"Yea Ma it was great." Jesse added. I don't remember when Jesse and I started referring to each others mom's as ma but it made sense, considering he practically lived here. I jump on the good child bandwagon and agree, "Yea Mom this it my favorite."
She smiles and bows dramatically as she clears the table, "Thank you thank you." We all start clapping and yelling Encore, like the dorks we are. The guys and I, Oh excuse me, the guy and girl and I settled into the living room for a movie. I have no idea what we settled on because before the previews were over we were in the middle of a colossal pillow fight. The phone rang and I grabbed off the receiver, "Hello." I say just as Jesse and Julie hit me from both side. I drop the phone, "You guys are so Dead."
The fight continues brutally until Gordon comes in, "Who was it?"
"Oh crap," digging for the phone I found it under the couch how'd it get there? "Are you still there?"
"Yeah," A voice says laughing on the other end.
"I'm sorry about that, who did you want to talk to?"
"Adam."
"Who?" I asked having a total brain fart, "Oh never mind, uh May I ask who this is?" Adam was pretty quick giving out our number.
"Jason, his older brother."
"Ohhh, yea he's here let me get him." Charlie said. Looking up at Gordon, "It's for Adam."
"So?"
"So what do I do?"
"Why don't you try walking back there and knocking?" I roll my eyes and walk back there Jesse trailing me. I knocked, but no one answered me. I looked at Jesse for help but he just shrugged and opens the door. The light was on but Adam was curled up on his bed.
"Uh, Jason I'm sorry but Adam seems to be sleeping." A hand flew out from under the cover reaching for the phone. "Well look at that, the dead has woken." I say interrupting Jason and handing Adam the phone. Jesse and I walk out but halfway down the hallway I realize Jesse isn't behind me. Turning around I see him, "What are you doing," I whisper. "Shh, I'm listening."
"What are they talking about?" I ask curious.
"Cake eater's been telling him about the apartment and you guys." We huddled around the door. ' (adam again.) I was in the middle of a wonderful dream when I hear Captain ducky say, "Uh, Jason I'm sorry but Adam seems to be sleeping." Ugh I sighed who dare wake me. I threw my hand out and motioned for the phone, I hear Charlie say, "Well look at that, the dead has woken." And I feel the phone in my hand.
"Hello?" I say groggily.
"Hey shrimp, how's it going?" Jason says happily.
"It would be better if I was still asleep."
"Well good morning to you to Mr. cranky. Listen I just wanted to make sure you were doing okay. And ask about the family."
"I don't know. I just don't fell good about this."
"Hey give it some time, If I know you, which I do, you've been quite Adam and haven't said more than six words to them." I couldn't help but smile, Jason knows me like the back of his hand. "So how is everything so far?"
"Well I guess the apartments nice. My bedroom's nice and big. Casey is sweet but really concerned about me which is slightly annoying. She checked on me like a zillion times already. Gordon's nice but I think he's trying to recruit me for hockey, which I can't blame him after all I am the best." I hear my brother snort. Giggling I continue, "And Charlie, well we haven't fought yet. Truth is I haven't decided on him, he had some ducks over and kept out of the way."
"Well try not to fight with him, besides they sound like fun." Oh joy now Jason is on there side. "Anyway I better let you get back to sleep, long distance is not cheep."
"Wait, what am I going to do all night? When will I get to talk to you again? Jason?"
"Hey hey, chill." He tried to sooth knowing Adam was slightly freaked out by the new living arrangement. "Why don't you go and sit down with them, watch some TV. If that doesn't work go take a shower and get to bed. I'll make sure I call you Tommrow night, and if you need me before then just call me cell."
"Alright," Adam crocked out. Why the hell am I getting so emotional?
We said our good byes and I sat on my bed for a few minutes tryin to pull myself together. I sighed rubbed my face and got up to brave the family.
Opening the door I was suddenly face to face with Charlie and Jesse both looking at me sheepishly. I couldn't help but roll my eyes they are really bad at this spying thing. I'd spied on my older brother for years and never got caught, I'll give Charlie a break I mean he has no siblings but I have come expect more outta loud mouth Jesse.
I brushed passed them with out a word and walked into the living room. Gordon, Casey and Julie were scattered around the room watching none other than Trading Spaces. I had to smile as Paige Davis rambled on about the rules. I hung the phone up and headed back towards my room.
"Hey Adam wanna watch TV with us? We can find something else?" Julie said from the couch a friendly smile on her lips. I smiled back and nodded walking sheepishly over she patted the couch next to her and I flopped down. Charlie and Jesse found spots in the slightly crowded living room. We ended up on some old horror movie; the kind with terrible effects and the sound is off from the lips. Before I knew it we were joking and making fun of the movie. .
Gordon looked at the kids and smiled. The foursome had fallen asleep around eleven and each was curled up around the room. All the kids seemed to be adjusting well. Charlie didn't warm up to people fast but there were very few people he couldn't get along with. Jesse was slightly harder to read, but he didn't hate Adam in fact he seemed mildly interested in getting to know him. Looking at Julie he had to sigh, she seemed to really like Adam, making his job of getting the kids to be friends, a lot easier. Adam was funny kid, he's deathly shy and quite for the first six hours, then after dinner he came out and really tried to get along. Maybe this was going to work.
