Chapter 8

ADAM'S P.O.V

Julie had just gone to check Connie's place, there hadn't been much debate about who should go, as I wasn't sure whether she'd let me in, and Guy wasn't sure whether she'd want to talk to him, so Julie was the only person that could go. Julie had given me a lecture about everything and trust me when I say, I couldn't have felt more guilty.

"Nothing". Julie came in and immediately took her rain coat off.

"Ok, let's call the others". Guy said. He was the calmest out of all three of us, so he did the calling.

Within 15 minutes, all the ducks had arrived, all thinking that this was a house warming party. I just stood there like a wet leper, whilst Julie and Guy tried to begin explaining things. But as soon as they got passed the part where they told them that Connie was back, the room was in uproar.

"Look, she didn't want to tell you that she was back because of this". Julie shouted over the noise. "She didn't want this, and wasn't ready to answer all your questions".

"What Julie's trying to say, is that Connie went away to clear her head, because she's pregnant". I blurted out.

"Yeah, very funny Banks". Portman chuckled.

"He's telling the truth". Guy told them.

"WHAT"! Charlie's mouth dropped open.

"Whose the slime ball that's the father"? Russ asked angrily.

"Yeah, when we've finished with him, he won't have to worry about getting girls pregnant". Portman thumped his fists together. Both Guy and Julie looked at me, then the others did, expecting me to answer them.

"Erm, you're looking at him". I almost whispered.

"Hold it"! Charlie said, silencing the room. "You, you're being serious"? He asked. I nodded in reply. "How? I mean when"?

"About 2 months ago, when we met her after her blind date".

"You've known all this time and you didn't tell us"? Averman pretended to act hurt.

"No, she told me this afternoon. I didn't exactly handle it very well, she walked out and we haven't been able to find her since". I explained.

"Exactly what did you say to upset her"? Ken asked.

"We haven't got time for that at the moment. We just need to find her". Julie told them getting me off the hook.

We separated into 4 groups, I went with Averman and Charlie, Julie, Guy and Luis went together, Goldberg, Dwayne and Russ went off together leaving Fulton, Portman and Kenny. We each had separate destinations and different places to check. Our first place was the college dorms, to make sure she wasn't sat outside any of our doors.

"C'mon Banks, what did you say to make her walk out"? Charlie asked as we drove over to the college campus.

"Something along the lines of who the father was". I admitted.

"You didn't"? Averman asked. I nodded.

"Why the hell did you say that"? Charlie continued probing.

"I don't know, try and see it from my point though, how would you feel if Holly turned round to you after a one night stand over a month ago, and told you she was pregnant".

"Ok I see where you're coming from". Charlie agreed.

GOLDBERG, DWAYNE & RUSS

"I wonder what Adam said to make Connie walk out"? Goldberg said.

"I bet he told her he wanted her to have an abortion"? Russ suggested.

"Yall, Adam isn't like that". Dwayne told them both.

"True, true Cowboy. But he must have said something". Russ replied.

"Maybe he didn't say anything, that might have got her mad". Dwayne said innocently.

"We're talking about Con's here Cowboy". Goldberg answered.

JULIE, GUY AND LUIS

"Man, Adam must really have pissed Connie off to make her do this". Luis commented.

"They'll sort it out eventually". Guy responded, not willing to give any details away.

"Who would have thought, Connie and Adam, I'd have never thought of those two together". Luis said again. He was the type who talked and talked.

"Well, people grow and change". Guy answered calmly.

"Let's check here". Julie said suddenly, pointing to a diner similar to Mickey's.

PORTMAN, FULTON AND KEN

"So what do you reckon Adam said to Connie"? Portman asked Fulton and Ken.

"I think he told her he didn't want anything to do with the baby". Ken said.

"No, I think she went off at him. Adam wouldn't be out looking for her now if he had said that". Portman answered.

"Guilty conscience. Why would she go off at him"? Ken argued back.

"Well, he's made no secret of how he reacted. He said he didn't take it too well, Connie might have jumped the gun, you know how she gets". Portman replied.

"No, no, you're wrong". Ken retorted.

"You're the one that's wrong little bash". Portman smiled, thinking how innocent his friend was. "Fult, what do you think"?

"I think you both sound like bickering old Grandma's, who need to start concentrating on finding her, instead of talking about her". Fulton replied.

"Sorry Fulton". Ken apologised immediately.

"Yeah, sorry Fult". Portman.

"C'mon let's keep looking". He said as they carried on walking around town.

FULTON'S P.O.V

I had been walking around town for nearly an hour now, it was about 8.30, and with every second, I was getting that little bit more worried about her. Connie was the very first girl that I had become friends with and after 10 years of friendship, she had become much more than a friend, she was my little sister. I knew all the ducks felt more protective over her, mainly because Julie had Guy, and Connie was the baby of the group. We had seen a few look-a-likes but not the real Connie. I was just about to give up hope, when passing a club exit, I heard laughter. I turned to see who it was coming from, and much to my relief it was her.

"CONNIE". I yelled as all 3 of us dashed over to her. She was visibly drunk, and lolling on this sleazy looking guy.

"Oh, hey guys". She slurred.

"C'mon let's get you home". Ken stepped forward to take her from the guy. He got hold of one of her arms, but the guy wouldn't let go of her other arm.

"She's coming with me". He argued and punched Ken. The punch came out of nowhere.

This got Portman's back up, and he retaliated by punching the guy back, I caught Connie and she lolled on me. The guy hadn't stood a chance against Portman and after the first punch the bouncer of the club had separated them. Portman and Ken walked next to us as we made our way to Ken's car. I pushed Connie into the back seat and followed her, immediately on me climbing in, she leant on me.

"Hi Fult". She slurred. "I love you, you know". It was funny in a way, she was always like this when she was drunk.

"I love you too". I smiled at her.

"I love Kenny and Port, too". She told me.

"They love you too". I answered her.

"Hey Fult... Guess what"? She whispered.

"What"? I whispered back.

"I'm pregnant". She whispered again.

"No way". I played along.

"WAY". She screeched as we pulled up outside her place.

"Come on". I helped her climb out.

"Everyone's on their way back here". Ken told me, as we each helped Connie upstairs.

When we got to her floor, some of the ducks were already waiting. Charlie, Averman and Adam all helped us get her inside, I was slightly expecting her to go off on one toward Adam, but she didn't. I continued holding her up with one arm and Charlie now had the other. She tripped a little but we held her steady.

"You ok"? She turned to Charlie after she had recovered from her trip.

"I'm fine, you". Charlie laughed.

"I'm brilliant". She giggled, shrugging us off and heading to the refrigerator.

"Where did you find her"? Adam asked us whilst she shuffled through the contents of the fridge.

"She was coming out of this club down town". Portman replied.

"Yeah, I met this really cool guy". She poked her head above the door.

"He was a complete sleaze". I whispered. Just then Julie barged through the door, with Guy and Luis right behind her.

"Where the hell have you been"? Julie dashed over to Connie

"Oh hey Jules. What you doing here? I thought you'd moved out"? Connie told her. Julie looked directly at us.

"Drunk". I motioned silently with my lips and acting as though I was drinking a can of beer. She nodded.

Eventually, Julie managed to get Connie to go to bed and sleep off the alcohol. I don't think any of us settled until that point, and even then I worried that she might start throwing up in the middle of the night and choke on it. Once I had voiced these concerns, we all decided to stay the night and in turn sit awake in her room and watch her like a hawk.

So what do you think? PLEASE R&R!!!!
