whole new story I'm all nervous! You guys have been great, and thank you so
much to the people nagged me in to updating you know who you are!
Charlie rubbed his eyes.
"That was festive," Russ said coming back into my room.
"Yep," I agreed.
"Well, I'm heading in man, goodnight." Russ said rolling down on to the mattresses Mom and I had set up on the floor. I loved having Russ stay with us, it was like having a sibling for the first time. I laid down in bed knowing full well I wouldn't sleep. I had way to much to analyze, like why exactly did Portman even go there? I mean sure do the whole rebel thing, but leave Adam alone. I tossed over punching my pillow in the process.
"Do you want to talk about it or are you just going to periodically sigh all night long," Russ said flipping on the lamp by my bed. "Come on Conway, spill I tired."
"It's nothing,"
"And I'm Maddona" He said with a laugh, "Come on,"
"It's just. I don't know what to do Tommrow, I mean part of me wants to kill Portman."
"Which is pretty normal considering Banks and you are like best friends."
"I know, but Fulton him are best friends, and I just don't want this thing to get any more out of hand." I sighed pushing myself into a seated potion. Russ sat down across from me. "Adam," I took in a ragged breath, "He just doesn't deserve any of this."
"I don't know man, I mean he way off the hinges saying it and all.. But with some of that stuff he had a point."
"Your wrong, and if you took the time to know anything about Adam you'd know that."
"Well he doesn't exactly make it easy for us or anything,"
"Newsflash he doesn't want to be friends with everybody, he's barley friends with us,"
"Why?" Russ looked at me confused. I think I'd pissed him off slightly too, but I was too tired to know or care why.
"Look it's complicated but take a non-social socialite who was ten going on thirty. Give him two, and only two friends and have them completely burn him and see how buddy buddy you are."
"What the hell are you talking about Conway?"
"Remember the Adam was Hawk that became a Duck story," He nodded. "Well there was a lot more to it. Like Adam having to switch school's last year because they were bullying him so much. He use to come to practice with black eyes. And his Dad just kept saying it was part of growing up and how it would build his character; the school finally asked Adam to leave. There were rumors about him flying left and right, things you only tell your best friend. And sure he was only ten; they weren't earth shattering or anything but everyone suddenly knew." I paused licking my lips.
"Look, maybe Adam hasn't been the nicest to you guys. But he's been my best friend, I've practically lived over there since Greg moved, I showed once at like two in the morning. He didn't ask any questions just let me vent. He's the best friend I've ever had," I stopped off short. Adam was so much more to me than that even, somewhere over this last year he became my brother.
Russ let out a low whistle. "Okay so he's not a stuck up prick... He's just," Russ paused obviously searching my ceiling for the word.
"He's just him, take it or leave it," I finished for him.
Russ nodded before yawning. "So are you done because man I'm wiped."
"Yeah, goodnight Russ."
"Night Captain,"
"Thanks,"
"No problem sunshine, Just don't let it happen again. I need sleep to be this beautiful." I snorted at his last statement resulting in a pillow thrown at my head. I lay back pulling up my covers tight, what am I going to do? Fulton's POV
I didn't not realize when Charlie said he'd be there in the morning the term I'll he meant me. And when he said early he meant seven AM.
The entire above happening has left me in a sour mood.
"Come on, he'll have me and Portman will have you. That way it's fair," He explained to me for the millionth time as I laced up my skates. Ah yes every child's summer dream getting up at seven in the morning to roller blade a million miles to a fight.
We got to the Banks home just before eight. "You go find Port, and I'll find Adam. Try and talk to him, see what's up."
"If he's awake," I grumbled heading up the stairs to his room. I didn't bothering knocking before throwing the door open. The sight in front of me was quite amusing. Have you ever seen a girl, a petite girl might I add, lecturing someone twice her height and weighing two times as much. If you haven't you really should some time.
"I can't believe you talked to him like that, I mean this is our home. Is that how you treat people who have been so kind to you?" She asked shaking her finger sternly.
"Ahh.. umm. I mean No.. n.. No..." Oh my god, Dean Portman just stuttered I never thought I'd see the day. I coughed a laugh letting my presence known.
Portman looked at me like I was some kind of savior. Yes my Bash brother I'll protect you from the little girl, no worries.
"I was just discussing with Dean why you can't treat humans like that," She said hands on hips. "But you agree with him right," I opened my moth but before I could say much she cut me off, "Just as I thought. Men," She said giving me a disgusted look and strutting out of the room slamming the door behind her.
We looked at each other before busting out laughing.
"That was,"
"Yeah," I agree laughing.
He looked at me like his whole world was caving in. "I messed up big this time, right?" He asked. Something was wrong, I couldn't put my finger on what though.
"Yeah, but we just got to figure out how to fix it." He nodded in agreement. Alright problem solving time.
Charlie rubbed his eyes.
