Chapter 4

ADAM'S P.O.V

I accepted Connie's offer to stay the night, and before I knew it, we had made the sofa up. She said goodnight and left me alone with my thoughts. Ever since I suggested her coming home, there had been a slight tension between us. I had to admit after seeing her, I realised how much I had actually missed her. We'd never been REALLY close, but every Wednesday afternoon we spent our free period together and after she and Guy split, we often talked about our feelings, mainly me prattling on about my dad and how it felt being on varsity and her telling me about Guy, her mom and her brothers and sisters.

I really wanted her to come back to Minnesota with me. I mean all the excuses she'd explained were rather easy to overcome. I mean I'd got a quite a large apartment of which all three of them could live in and I wouldn't charge rent so the money thing wouldn't be as huge a problem as she makes out it would. I was determined to persuade her to come back, but it would be no easy task. Eventually I fell asleep at what must have been about 3am, only to be woken by Connie's sharp whisperings.

"Kelly, don't you dare wake him up, he won't want to be woken at 7". Connie hissed.

"Will he be here when we come home"? I heard Kelly retort.

"I don't know, just please go help Tyler get ready while I get you some breakfast". Connie pleaded.

I slowly stood, glancing around me, I just caught a glimpse of Kelly's brown hair flying behind her as she ran towards the bedrooms. I slowly stumbled to the kitchen where Connie was buttering some toast with her back toward me.

"Morning". I croaked, seeing her visibly jump.

"What is it with you and making people jump"? She turned around.

"Just can't resist". I smiled cheekily. I heard a small scream and a small body dash into the kitchen grabbing hold of Connie's legs, and then Kelly dash in after him.

"ADAM". She screeched.

"Morning". I smiled at her sleepily, receiving a scared look from Tyler.

"Connie, Tyler won't let me help him get dressed". Kelly told her quickly.

"She was being mean". He whispered.

"Tyler, just go into your room and I'll come in two minutes". She gently pushed him forward.

"Who, you"? He creaked his neck to look up at me.

"I'm Adam". I bent down a little to help him out.

"Pleased to meet ya". He took my hand and shook it heavily. "Connie you coming"? He almost demanded to know.

"Two minutes Tyler". She replied, trying to sort breakfast out.

"Hey, how about I come and help you out"? I tried relieving Connie of some pressure.

"Ok". He took my hand and began dragging me toward his room. I vaguely saw Connie mouth a thank you to me as I disappeared.

Within 5 minutes we had managed to pick out a suitable attire and he was dressed and ready to go. He quickly ate his breakfast and he and Kelly grabbed their jackets and book bags. They both said a quick goodbye and Connie told me that she'd be back in about 15 minutes and to help myself to anything. I decided to take the opportunity to call Guy from my cell.

"Hello". He croaked groggily.

"Guy, it's Adam". I told him.

"Adam, did you find her"? He jumped straight to the main topic he had been on for the past God knows how long.

"Whoa Guy slow down". I tried holding him in suspense.

"Ok, Did you"?

"Yes Guy I did".

"YOU DID". He shrieked. "How is she? Why hasn't she been in touch? What's she been up to? When's she coming back to Minnesota"? He threw questions at me.

"She's fine, I can't really explain everything at the minute, but I'm at her place now, I'll call you when I get back home ok". I told him.

"Yeah". He replied. "Oh and Adam". He stopped me from putting the phone down.

"Yeah"?

"Thanks".

"Anytime". I replied and put the phone down.

When Connie returned she came back into the living room and sat next to me, passing me a bag containing waffles, in the process.

"I remembered how much you liked them for breakfast when we were at Eden Hall". She told me. I offered her one but she declined. "And thank you for helping me out with Tyler this morning".

"Anytime. I can't believe he's the same little boy that you and Julie got Portman and Fulton to change his diaper, years ago". I reminisced.

"I know it only seems like yesterday that he was a tiny bundle". She smiled.

"Right, what have you got planned for today"?

"House work, why"? She answered.

"Your coming out with me". I told her.

"I really shouldn't. I've got tonne's of laundry to do, the apartment to clean and after all that I'm going to watch Kelly's hockey practise".

"Well, I've got to go and get changed anyway. Just be ready for when I get back". I winked then climbed up from the sofa and left the apartment. As I headed down the corridor, John the guy I met last night was just coming out of his apartment.

"Morning". He smiled toward me.

"Hi". I answered.

"So, how'd you know Connie"? He struck up a conversation.

"We were on the same hockey team since we were 10". I answered.

"Ah, so you're the famous Adam Banks that Kelly wouldn't stop talking about last night, she wouldn't put that hockey magazine down". He laughed gently.

"How long you known Connie for then"? I asked.

"3 nearly 4 years, we were chem partners when we first started at NYU, and then when she had to drop out and find an apartment, I helped her move in here".

"Do you think you could do me a huge favour"? This wasn't like me but I decided to go with the flow.

"It depends what it is". He looked at me sceptically

"Could you look after Kelly and Tyler tonight. I really want to take Connie out and catch up".

"Yeah, why not". He answered.

"Thanks. Erm, I'm not absolutely sure what time it will be because Connie mentioned that Kelly's got hockey practise, and we won't be late back either".

"Kelly's practise finishes about 5.30, but Connie's usually working so I normally take her anyway, so how about I pick them both up from there". He suggested.

"Yeah, that would be excellent".

"Anytime, I just know how much Connie needs this". He answered.

We quickly said goodbye and headed off in separate directions. I had no idea really where I was going to take her today but I knew either way that it would bring her out of herself even if it was only for today.

Well, hope your enjoying it so far. PLEASE R&R!!!!!
