Chapter 15:

Disclaimer: I do not own the Mighty Ducks and I am not getting paid to do this.

Connie's POV:

Our last practice before the big game was brutal: sprints, a minor scrimmage, and various endurance drills. None of us complained though– because we knew it would be well worth it come Friday– but at this rate I would be dead by then. At the moment I was lying on my bed reading A Tale of Two Cities for English class. Julie was sitting at her desk writing away.

" Hey Connie" Julie said turning around to face me.

" Yeah, how may I help you?" I asked sitting up and tossing my book– which I was happy to have a break from– on my desk..

" I need you to do me a favor" she said.

" Okay, well it depends on what it is." I replied.

" Its easy enough" she said. " Can you give this to Adam for me" she continued thrusting a folded up piece of paper into my hands.

" Yeah sure, but what is it?" I asked

" Nothing just a note" she answered.

" If its just a note can I read it?" I inquired, even though I already suspected the answer.

" No way" she said giving me one of those infamous Julie stares. That said I will kill you if you do.

" Ok. Well can you at least tell me what its about? So I'm not tempted." I teased.

" Well it's about last year" she hinted.

" That's not a very good hint, Jules. Last year was very long, and a lot happened. Do you mean your breakup?" I reasoned.. She didn't even need to respond the look on her face told it all.

" Julie what happened?" I continued. To my surprise she started crying. I had only ever seen her cry twice, and it was always alarming. She was just not the type to randomly start crying. I quickly got up and put my arm around her in an attempt to comfort her.

" If that loser did something to hurt you, I will kill him" I stated.

" No, No, You know Adam would never" she sobbed. The revelation left one other option.

" Yeah I know. Julie you didn't..." I muttered.

" I am such and idiot." She cried as she got up and started pacing back and forth. I could tell she wanted to say this probably since the breakup.

" No, I am sure. I mean it was justified or something" I reasoned, trying to think of something to say to comfort her.

" No. I had no reason I was stupid and upset and I don't know" she rambled– and sat down at the end of her bed– I took my desk chair and placed it across from her.

" What exactly happened?" I inquired.

" Well I made out with Jesse." she said composing herself. I was shocked at this and it was almost fell of my chair.

" WHAT?" I exclaimed. Her and Jesse were hardly friends, honestly I was expecting her to say that she was with Scooter. The two of them had obvious chemistry and he had a crush on her. He seemed like the first option. I guess I was way off. Not to mention that Jesse and Adam were best friends. That explains why they hadn't been talking lately. I had just assumed it was because of the Varsity/ JV rift.

" I know, you remember Tracey had that Christmas party last year?" she asked and I nodded.

" Well Adam and I had this huge fight about something stupid– the sad thing is I don't even remember what it was about– well I went to the party hoping to get over it by just hanging out with you guys. But when I got there Jesse was the only one there. We started talking– mainly about Adam, really the only thing we had in common– I had a few to drink, and so did he. Well out of the blue he kissed me and I didn't stop him. And it went on for a few minutes maybe more I don't know. I was kinda lost in it all. Its not Jesse's fault he didn't even know Adam and I were together or anything, and I guess he had a crush on me. I managed to stop before it went too far, and I told him about Adam." she said as tears rolled down her cheeks.

" Jules. Did you tell Adam about this?" I said, that was the only thing that came out of my mouth. Obviously Adam had found out one way or another, but I hoped Julie told him herself.

" No, I didn't even get a chance to tell him. That's the worst part in all this" She said chocking back tears.

" What do you mean?" I asked.

" Well on Monday at school I meant to first thing. I meant to apologized and beg for his forgiveness you know?" she said and again I nodded.

" But he apologized to me: for the fight and all that. By that point I had forgotten all about it, and he was just so sweet I couldn't say anything. And by the next time I saw him he already knew, one of his friends told him about the party and I guess it just came up" she continued putting her head in her hands.

" Connie, when I saw him like that it broke my heart, because I knew I had broken his. He looked so sad and so angry. He told me he could never trust me again and that it was over. It didn't matter that we both still loved each other, I had hurt him too much. Oh God, I made the biggest mistake of my life– I miss him so much– he won't even look at me anymore" she finished. I got up and sat next to her on the bed and put my arm around her and she leaned her head against my shoulder.

" It will all work out, he has to forgive you. I mean after all he is Adam Banks, he forgives everyone. And how can he resist your charm?" I said and Julie managed to smile.

" I hope your right." she responded wiping the tears off her cheeks.

" So that's what the note is about?" I reasoned.

" Yeah I just need to talk to him" she said.

" Well I think it is a better idea to talk to him in person" I advised.

" Yeah, I know. The thing is its hard to be alone with someone when they are avoiding you" she joked.

" Hm, your right there. Well I will give it to him first thing tomorrow morning" I said.

" Thank you" she said

" One question though. Is forgiveness all that you want? I asked.

" Of course not." she laughed. " But I am trying to be realistic here. Even though I do usually get what I want" she finished, and I laughed.

She was right there Julie was one of the most competitive people I have ever met, and loved to win. When she saw something she wanted– whether it in hockey or the real world– she got it.

" Well I will help you any way I can" I said, and picked up my book and started to read. Well I tried to read but I kept thinking about things. I couldn't imagine if Guy ever cheated on me I would probably have to break up with him too but I would still love him. There was probably nothing that could make me stop loving the boy, and I hoped Adam still felt the same way about Julie. Than there would be hope in reuniting the two of them.
