"I can't believe the love of my life is gone," Averman said wistfully on Monday at practice.
"Shut up Averman," Jesse said annoyed at with his fellow duck.
"Who?" Dean asked confused.
"The angel of perfection that is Ashley Huntington."
"She can't be the love of your life Averman, she's dating another guy." Julie said looking over at him.
"So! We had our moment. She even danced with me."
"She danced with you for one song because she felt sorry for you not having a proper date." Connie said rolling her eyes boys were so stupid.
"Hey, you know neither Goldburg or Ken had dates and she didn't dance with either of them." Charlie said feeling a little bad for Averman.
"Has anyone seen Adam?" Nick asked a hint of concern in his voice.
"No," Jesse said, "It's been a good day."
"Why?" Charlie asked being the only one to picked up on the concern.
"Oh no reason, he just wasn't in any classes after second period. And he's missed a hockey practice in his life and that includes the time he had chicken pox. I'm just worried he's acing so weird."
"You're telling me. When he was with you and Ashley he was like a different person." Charlie said looking over at Nick, "He was loud and funny as all hell. And the boy could not keep himself off of Ashley, my Mom was so freaking out." Charlie told the rest of the team.
"I know, that Adam is my best friend. He hasn't always been this cynical. I mean I use to like hanging out with him and now, its just different."
"Maybe you should tell him that." Julie said patting Nick on the back. She could tell he missed his best friend. It was sweet.
"Alright, lets get out there and practice." Coach Bombay said walking in while Orion did a head count.
"Where's Banks?" he asked looking around the room.
"He wasn't feeling well, he headed home." Nick covered for him quickly.
"Why didn't he come tell me?" Gordon asked looking confused.
"That's my fault I was suppose to come tell you on my lunch hour but I uh had to stay late in my math class and didn't have time." Charlie lied. It was hard to lie to Gordon in the face.
"Alright lets get out there." Coach Orion said breaking the silence. They headed out to practice.
But all Nick could do was worry. I mean where is Adam? Maybe Julie is right, maybe I should talk to him.
Adam came out of his room around four. Gordon Jesse Charlie and the rest of the team were at the kitchen table working thought there social studies report, Casey was picking up the living room. I wandered into the kitchen when the phone rang. It was Miss. Ashley.
"Hey Ash," I said leaning up against the counter, "What's up?"
"I miss you. And I wanted to talk to you. What you've been up to?"
"Just missing you, and sleeping." I replied smiling ear to ear. We had our nauseatingly cute conversation. That was filled with I miss you more, oh no I miss you more. We were pathetic, but it felt great to love someone. Once I got off the phone Casey came into the kitchen. She looked over at me opened her mouth and closed it, she repeated this several times never making a noise.
"What?" I finally asked, she had something to say.
"Well Adam, Gordon and I were wondering," She cut off looking down at the floor. I glanced over at Gordon who had just walked in at the sound of his name.
"What, just ask?" I said completely lost opening the fridge.
"Are you a virgin?" Casey sputtered out. I looked up at them slightly shocked, a smile spread across my face. I could hear Charlie and Jesse laughing in the other room. I picked up my plate and walked into the dinning room Charlie was all red in the face and Jesse was trying his hardest to laugh.
I set my plate down and looked over at them. "What makes you ask?" I said innocently trying not to giggle myself; it was funny to see them so uncomfortable
"Well you and Ashley seem very serious, and if you are we need to talk to you about all the responsibility and risks that come with having such a relationship and."
"Don't even go there, I'm not having a sex talk with you." I said cutting him off; I paused trying to decide how much I wanted to tell them. "First I want to say I don't think this is any of you business, seeing my own parents never asked me." I started slowly, "But yes in all technicality I am virgin." I said gazing over at each of them.
"Back in my day there was no technically you either were or you weren't." Gordon said with a chuckle.
"You know what I mean, I've never gone all the way." I said feeling slight uncomfortable. Casey looked so relived she might pass out. Gordon just nodded still suppressing a smile. I just rolled my eyes. I walked back into the kitchen grabbing a soda out of the fridge I headed back towards my bedroom. That was so weird, I think that was officially our first parent/son moment. I flopped down on my bed. I was bored out of my mind and talking to Ashley just seemed to make it worse. I missed her so much. I missed everything she represented.
Yes she was my girlfriend but she also was like a constant reminder of who and what I use to be. Back when thing were normal, where I could make since of the world. For the last three months I'd tried to be happy, tried to move on. I convinced everybody that I was okay and somewhere along the lines I started believing it myself. I wished like crazy it were the truth.
But it wasn't. I wasn't happy. This wasn't me. I just didn't know what to do. I crawled in my bed and stared up at the ceiling. Something I use to do whenever I felt down. I lay there and thought until I felt my eyes get heavy and I fell asleep.
(OKAY THIS IS IN NICK'S HEAD)
Nick sat down on the bus for the third time this week. He normally got a ride with Adam but he kept leaving early. Adam and I had been best friends as long as I could remember. He settled in and stared out the windowing thinking. Our mothers were best friends who decided it would be fun to be pregnant together, so we were born like a week and a half apart. We've done everything together.
So I cant' help but worry about him. We've grown up together. He's practically family, especially now. I know everything about him. Like the first girl he liked, I was there first goal he ever scored, even the small stuff like his favorite color, and what kind of cake he likes.
But this isn't Adam. I've tried being the supportive friend, to just go with the flow of it all. But it's getting to be too much. For the last two weeks he's been awful. Adam Banks got a C on his progress report, I thought he might pass out the moment he saw it. He'd never gotten a C in his life. But then again he'd never skipped school or practice in his life either. It's hard to watch someone you genuinely care about go thought such a rough time.
At first I didn't like the ducks. I mean there the whole I hated you when we were seven thing but it went a lot deeper that that. They hated Adam, and if you hate one of us you hate both of us. But once I got here and meet them, I realized they don't hate Adam, Adam just is pushing them away. Granted they weren't thrilled we were coming here but they gave me a shot, he just burned that bridge.
Adam left right after lunch today. I know he's not sick, he just waited until he knew Casey was at work and left. Maybe Julie's right. I should tell him all this. I sat there in my computer class thinking of all the things I needed to say to him. And just praying he wouldn't hate me afterwards. The buss came to a stop and I got off heading home to figure out what I wanted to say.
