Disclaimer- I own everything that isn't from the hit TV series Dark Angel like Kellie, while James Cameron and his crew own everything from it like Adam and/or Jondy and Syl.

Since school was cancelled today (thank god!) I get to sit here in my pajamas and write fanfiction all day. Just thought I'd tell you that, lol. There should be a flashback in this chapter if not then it will be in the next chapter.

Chapter 10 The Beginning

Adam stood there and watched as Kellie disappeared out her front door. He didn't move, not sure of what had happened. 'She kissed me.' He thought. 'And ran away.' He was confused. He knew he felt something for her, something stronger then just friendship and a simple crush, he just didn't know what. 'But what about her.' He thought. He groaned in frustration before following Kellie out of her door. They really needed to talk.

On his way out he saw Kellie pacing in the hallway biting her nails. She stopped when she saw him and sighed. "We need to talk." She said. Adam only nodded and moved out of the way of the door so Kellie could walk back into her apartment. She sat down on her couch and crossed her legs and watched as Adam sat in a chair opposite of her.

Kellie bit her lip. Silence wrapped itself around the two people in the apartment. Finally sighed and broke the silence. "Ok this is turning into one of those conversations were the two people just sit there and lie about their feelings for each other. Ok and since I hate those kind of conversations were they do that and just resume being friends when they really want to be something more I'm not going to lie. When we kissed, Adam I felt something and it wasn't just your average crush. I mean there's only been one other time when I felt like this, and it wasn't this strong, and I'm not even sure how you feel and crap but-" Kellie rambling was caught off as she felt Adam's lips against her. Adam pulled back and she looked at him.

"You were rambling." He smirked.

"Yea well I like to ramble." Kellie said crossing her arms. "And when did you move over here? I don't even recall seeing you move and then you just-" One against Adam's lips was pressed to hers, this time Kellie broke away. "Why do you keep doing that?" She asked.

"I thought it was obvious." Adam said simply. Kellie raised an eyebrow at him.

"So your saying you like me more then just an average crush?" Kellie said.

Adam looked at her and raised an eyebrow in answer. "What do you think?" He asked.

"No answering with a question mister." Kellie said poking his well muscled abdomen. Adam smirked. "So I take it your answer was yes?" She asked.

Adam, in response leaned over and kissed her again. Kellie smirked and kissed Adam back. 'We can talk later.' She thought and went on with making out with Adam.

(Somewhere Between Seattle and San Francisco)

Jondy sat there in Zane's vehicle humming to her self and bobbing her head to the music she produced. Zane was in side the gas station picking up a few odds and ends for the road. Her hands twiddled as she grew bored, and it was never a good thing when Jondy got bored, she could get a bit crazy.

Jondy began to shake her keg and move her head around everywhere, not noticing the stares she was getting from the people around her. Her brown hair was flying around her and she continued to bounce in her sit going La, la, la.

"Jondy!" Zane exclaimed at her from outside his car door.

"ZAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNEEE!" Jondy squealed and clapped her hands together before going back to bouncing about in her seat.

Zane looked at his sister with a weird expression before shaking his head and getting in the car. "Will you stop it! People are staring." He said as he sat the bag with his purchases down.

Jondy stopped what she was doing and looked at Zane with wide baby blue eyes. "Really?" She asked in an amazed voice before going back to bouncing around.

"How Syl can trust you to go off and be in a city all alone is beyond me." He muttered and was whacked over top the head by Jondy. He mocked glared at Jondy.

"My sister trust me very much thank you." Jondy said with a huff.

"Yea that's why her and Krit are coming with you to Seattle." Zane said playfully.

Jondy glared at him. "No they just want to help me. It's you dear brother of mine that doesn't trust me to be alone in Seattle."

Zane only raised an eyebrow. "Yea sure whatever. You keep telling yourself that Jondy." Zane said and patted her on the head.

She stuck out her tongue at him and started to bounce around again. Zane chuckled and continued to drive onward.

(Back in Montana)

Kellie pulled away from Adam and looked at him. "Adam I can't do this." She said looking at him sadly.

Adam looked at her confused. "Why not?" He asked confused.

"Adam I-I, you're like my best friend ok." Kellie said. "And I don't want to ruin or lose that."

Adam was extremely confused now. "But just a while ago you said you hated it when people did this, I don't get it. You said you had feelings-"

"And I do, but I Adam I... I-"

"Your scared." He said. Kellie looked away from him .

"Yea I am ok. Is that a crime?" Kellie snapped.

"Why?" He asked.

"Why what?" Kellie asked. "Why am I afraid?" At his nod she sighed. "Because." She said.

"Because?" Adam asked waiting for more of an answer. When he saw Kellie not answering he sighed in frustration. "Kellie I don't understand. You say you have feelings for me and now you don't want to act on them." He said a bit angrily. Kellie looked at him and then away. "Why? I want to know." He said. When he saw Kellie was going to answer him he sighed and said softer, "I need to know. Kellie please don't shut me out now. I need to know why you want give me a chance, us a chance at something new." He said sincerely. (sappiness, I'm surrounded by it!! I could cry!!)

Kellie looked at him, her eyes full of tears. She sighed and nodded her head. "Fine you want to know why, I'll tell you. Once upon a time there was this naïve teenager named Kellie. One day she met this older guy named Paul. Paul and Kellie became serious with each other. Kellie loved him a lot and Paul said he loved Kellie a lot. One day Kellie went to visit him and saw him sleeping with another girl. Paul said he didn't mean it and he would never do anything to hurt Kellie, so Kellie stayed with him. They were together for a while, and over that time, Paul had become violent really violent. To make a long story short, Paul hurt Kellie a lot and finally took what he wanted from her and left her to put the pieces back together. And Kellie never really got over it." Kellie said quietly a tear slipping down her cheek. She looked at Adam and saw sadness and anger in his. He brushed her hair away from her face.

"I'm sorry." Was all he said. "But I'm not like him." He said softly to her.

"I know Adam, but... You were the first guy that's I've kissed willingly since him. You're the first guy that has made that spark come back, and... I dunno." She shrugged.

"It scared you, because you thought you would never be able to feel that way about anyone again." He said.

Kellie looked away from him. "Yea I guess it did." She said. "But Adam I-I don't think I'm ready for this yet." She said. "It might have happened a while ago now, but the pain and hurt is still fresh in my mind and I don't want to go through that again." She said softly.

Adam sighed and looked away from her. "Kellie..." He trailed off not knowing what to say to her. Kellie looked at him expectantly wondering what he would say to her.

"I'm sorry Adam, but I don't know if I could possible go through that again." She said so softly he almost wasn't able to hear.

"I understand Kellie." Adam said sadly.

Kellie looked at him her face showing sadness she reached out and touched his hand and felt him tense under her touch. She bit her lip as another tear slipped down her cheek. "I should go. I have things that need to be down. I have to help Jack and Buddy with things at the ranch." He said standing up.

Kellie only nodded her head and wiped away her tears. "I'll check up on you later, make sure your alright." He said and stood up, pulling on his jacket. Kellie nodded her head and looked at him as he made his way to the door.

'Kellie you wimp. Your just going to let him leave. Your throwing something good and you know it! Life's full of chances and risks, and sometimes you have to take them!!! I can't let this go no matter what.' Kellie thought as Adam walked out her door. Kellie quickly got up form the couch and ran out into the hallway to see Adam down at the end. 'Damn he can walk fast.' She thought.

"Adam!" She yelled out. Adam looked back at her and raised an eyebrow at her. Kellie walked down to him and looked up at him.

"Kellie you should get rest." Adam told her.

Kellie rolled her eyes. "Life's full of chances and you have to take them right? Well this is one chance and risk I can't let go. Please tell me you didn't change your mind." Kellie said in a pleading voice.

Adam looked down at her and she could tell he was happy. His eyes were twinkling as he bent down and lightly kissed her. "Never." He replied as she kissed him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he held tighter to her. Kellie pulled back and smiled softly at Adam.

"You should go." She said. "Before you get fired." Kellie said.

"Yea." He replied and didn't move.

"This the part where you start to walk away." Kellie said and laughed a little at him.

Adam smiled at her. "See you tonight Kellie." He said and touched her non-bruised cheek before leaving. Kellie smiled softly and walked back toward her apartment thinking about Adam's and her start at forming a relationship.

"Tonight." She thought as she walked inside her apartment and closed the door.
