DISCLAIMER: I don't own the Mighty Ducks
Chapter 3
"It's Over"
The next morning came all too quickly for Connie. She groaned and rolled over as the alarm clock went off.
"C'mon Cons, time to get up!"
Connie groaned again. Why did her roommate have to be such a morning person? Especially on a morning that was going to be anything but happy. She thought, recalling yesterdays events. That's when she made her decision.
"I'm not going, Jules."
"Not going where?" Julie asked.
Connie rolled her eyes. "Don't play dumb with me, Julie. You know what I'm talking about."
Her friend sighed. "Cons, it won't be so bad."
"Yeah, right. Everyone in that school thinks I'm some skank."
Julie sat on the edge of Connie's bed and looked at her friend. "You have to face it sometime."
Connie threw the covers over her head. "Well, it's not going to be today!"
Julie stood up. It was time to call in the Calvary.
A few moments later, Julie stood outside Adam's and Charlie's door. She knocked and Charlie stuck his head around the door.
"What's up?" He asked.
"Connie." She replied. He stared at her confused. Julie sighed impatiently.
"She won't go to school, so you need to convince her."
Charlie nodded. "I'm on my way." He said as he headed down the hall.
"If you need more help, call me and I'll round up everyone else."
Charlie nodded and called, "maybe, you can help your boo find a shirt to wear, in all his mess."
Julie shook her head as she headed into Adam's room. She knew it was more than likely Charlie's mess, not Adam's.
Once he reached the door, Charlie knocked and then opened the door with the key, Julie had given him.
"Cons?" He called.
"Go away, Charlie! I'm not going to school!" Came a muffled voice from behind the bathroom door.
Charlie turned the knob only to find it was locked.
"Connie, you can't hide in here forever."
"Says who?" Was the reply.
"Me, and the rest of the ducks. We would miss you…I would miss you."
The lock turned and Connie's head peeked out. "Really?"
Charlie laughed. "of course, Cons. As long as you have us, it'll be ok."
She seemed to think a moment. "Well, I guess it wouldn't be so bad as long as you and the other ducks were there….."
"That's my Cons." Charlie said, giving her a hug.
The whole school day, Connie was glued to at least one ducks side. There were a few whispers at first but by lunch people had more or less forgotten about it.That is except for Guy, who had hardly spoken a word to any of them all day.
"Look Connie, there's Guy." Portman said.
Connie tooka deep breath. "I'm going to talk to him." She decided and headed his way.
"Guy!" She called.
He turned and scowled when he saw it was her. "What do you want?"
She cringed. He was not going to make this easy. "I just wanted to tell you, that I would never cheat on you, Guy."
Guy snorted. "That's hilarious."
"Guy, John's lying, why can't you believe me?"
Guy threw up his hands. "he had proof, Connie."
A tear trickled down Connie's cheek. "So you believe him over me?" Guy nodded.
Connie smiled sadly. "Then I don't think we can be together."
"Fine." guy said, stomping off.
Connie sighed as she headed back to the Duck's table. In some ways, she felt relieved, in others, she just felt sad.
Once she arrived back at the table, the conversations stopped. She had the feeling, she was the topic of all of them.
" So…" Luis started
"It's over." Connie simply said as she sat down between Russ and Julie.
"Oh, Connie. We're so sorry." Dwayne said meaningfully.
She smiled faintly at him as the others offered their condolences. She lifted her gaze and rested it on Charlie, who sat across from her, his eyes were reassuring and for some reason, she felt that maybe everything would be alright.
Later that evening, Charlie showed up at Julie and Connie's door much to their surprise.
"Hey, Charlie, what are you doing here?" Connie asked.
"Well, I thought, maybe we could hang out."
Connie stared at him like he was nuts. "in this?" She asked pointing to her T-Shirt and shorts.
Charlie shrugged. 'I don't care."
Connie thought a moment and agreed.
"So, where are we going?" She asked as she fell into step beside him.
"Your pick."
She thought a moment. "The park!"
And off they set towards the park.
Once there, they ran around like little kids, playing on all the playground equipment. After about an hour, they were exhausted and settled down in the swings to talk.
"So, are you real upset about Guy?" Charlie asked casually.
Connie was quiet a moment before speaking. 'A part of me is relieved but another part, deep down feels like I've lost my best friend."
Charlie looked up at her. "You haven't, you know."
She smiled warmly. 'I know. It's just so weird. It's always been me and Guy. Is this how you felt when you and Linda broke up?"
"You mean angry, betrayed, and sad even though you want to hate them?"
Connie thought a moment before answering. "Yah, I think that about sums it all up."
Charlie laughed. "it's hard but after awhile, you move on." Connie nodded.
"And Cons- I want you to know that I'm here and I'm not going anywhere."
Impulsively, Connie pulled him into a hug. "thanks." She whispered against his neck.
After awhile longer, they headed back to the dorms but were met with a shocking surprise on their way. Connie gasped and pointed. There, next toa bench, was none other than Guy and Linda. It was clear, there was definaely some fraternizing going on.
Connie quickly moved on. Now, very eager to get back to the dorms. Charlie stared a moment. Even though, him and Linda were long over with and his heart had finally healed, It was still a slap in the face every time he saw her with another guy. This time, it being Guy, a friend (had been at least) made the slap more like a punch in the gut.
"Charlie, you coming?" Connie called.
Charlie nodded and hurried to catch up.
