Chapter 4: Fairytale

The wedding went by in a blur of tears, laughs and a lot of love. I don't really remember a lot of what was said but I do remember feeling warm. How chessy is that? Whatever, it was a wedding, I'm aloud to get a little girly every once and a while.

The reception was held in the park. Now you may ask yourself, a park? You just have to understand that in that park there is a pond and on that pond the Ducks were formed. It may also have been the first place Connie and Guy met. They have been together for so long that no one, not even Connie and Guy, remember where or for that matter when they met. But it was the perfect spot for a June wedding.

As the day turned to night we all sat down for dinner and the traditional best man, maid of honor toasts. Charlie gave a great speak in which he tried to trace back to the beginning of the Connie-Guy fairytale. Some people laughed, others cried. Leave it to Captain Duck to say what was on everybodies mind. Connie and Guy were meant to be and they would live happily ever after.

Next up was me. I spoke of my love for my "sister" Connie and for my new "brother" Guy and of course about their love for each other. I ended by saying that everyone should be so lucky as to fall in love with their best friend. When I said it I made a point not to look at Adam, but I could see him. Out of the corner of my eye I could have sworn I saw him look at me. Well, of course he looked at me I was the one talking. I brushed it off.

That's when the party really began. The alcohol was flowing and by the time Connie and Guy left for the airport we were all feeling it. I was talking to Tammy when I felt a tap on my shoulder.

"May have this dance?"

All I could manage to do was shake my head. As Adam and I walked out onto the dance floor the song changed. At first I didn't recognize the song, and then I heard Vanessa Williams start to sing.

Sometimes the snow comes down in June Sometimes the sun moves round the moon Just when I thought our chance had passed You go and save the best for last

I was feeling a little light headed. I giggled and said, under my breath, "Could this song be more perfect?" I didn't think Adam could hear me. Wrong

"Huh?"

I looked up into his damn eyes and saw him looking at me a little confused.

"What did you say?"

I had to think fast. I didn't want Adam to realize what I said. This song fit us perfectly. There is a whole verse about all of the nights you came to me. Get him off the dance floor, away from the music, and do it quick.

"Hum...I said could this day be more perfect?"

He shook his head in agreement. I don't know if he fell for it. I didn't want to take the chance.

"Do you want to go get a drink?"

He said yes and we headed for the bar, which thankfully was far enough away from the DJ that the music was muffled.

I really don't remember what happened next, but somehow Adam and I ended up back by the lake, far way from the ongoing party. We were just walking. Adam was telling me about some of the times he had shared with the Ducks on this pond and a little bit about some of his time with the Hawks. It wasn't something that he spoke of often or with many people but every once in a while it would come up.

"Did you like being a Hawk?"

"Would you think I was an awful person if I said yes?"

"Come on Adam, I have known you for 8 years. I already don't like you." I said with a smile. Adam smiled too, he knew I was joking.

"Yeah, I guess I did. They were the guys I grew up with. I had known most of them since I was like 4. Plus I loved playing hockey and they did too."

"If you could go back and change it would you stay with the Hawks?"

"Not a chance in hell. Sure at the time I thought it was the worst thing to ever happen to me, but now. Look how much the Ducks have given me. I know I am the player I am today because of the Ducks, and I got a terrific education too."

"Yeah, but Adam, you would have had all of that with or without the Ducks."

"Maybe, but I wouldn't be the person I am today and I wouldn't have met Charlie or Jesse, or you." As he talked he turned to me and placed the back of his hand on my check. I closed my eyes. Was I dreaming? This could not be happening.

When I opened my eyes I saw Adam staring at me and then the next thing I knew he was kissing me. Adam Banks, the guy I have liked since I was 14, was kissing me. I felt like I was floating. But then he pulled away. I opened my eyes. I wanted to tell him that was perfect, that I had been waiting for that for years, and I was going to. However, Adam spoke first.

"Oh god! I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have done that. It was a mistake. Oh god Julie I'm so sorry. I have to go."

He left. Adam Banks left me standing there, completely dumb founded. I couldn't understand what had just happened.

"Julie! Hey Julie! Goldburg's parents invited us back to their deli for a late snack. You coming?"

I heard Averman yelling at me, his words were making very little sense. I just wanted to curl into a ball and cry. Shit, I'm staying in Adam's house! Maybe if I leave now I'll beat him home and I can disappear into my room.

"Julie, earth to Julie did you hear me yelling at you?"

Averman was out of breath. He must have run over hear.

"Sorry. Les, I'm not feeling too well, can you guys give me lift back to the house?"

"Yeah sure, do you want one of us to stay with you?"

"No, I just think I'm tired. I want to go to bed."

I was quiet the whole car ride. I don't think anyone noticed they were all too wrapped up in their reminiscing as we drove to Edina. When I got out of the car I did hear Linda ask me if I wanted company. I just closed the door and shook my head.

I couldn't tell if Adam was home or not. But considering he had no car and he wasn't going got the deli, there was a pretty good chance he was walking and that I definitely had beat him. I entered the house and went straight to my room. All I wanted to do was take a long hot shower and go to bed.

I cried my eyes out in the shower, so much so that I have no idea how long I was in there. When I got out I put on my favorite Ducks jersey (the one from the Goodwill Games) and a pair of sweats and headed back into my room. My head was down. That's why I didn't see him standing there until I was almost on top of him. I just stared at him. What did he want now? I wanted to scream at him. I wanted to hit him, make him feel the pain he had caused me. But he spoke first.

"We need to talk."
