Julie's wish had been granted. Connie was nowhere in sight when she opened the door to their room. Probably gone to surprise Guy she thought as she sunk down on the bed allowing the fresh tears to fall.
Why couldn't her relationship with Scooter be like Connie and Guy's she wondered. Sure they had their fair share of fights and bust ups but it was evident that they were deeply in love and that Guy would never hurt Connie the way Scooter had just hurt Julie.
A knock at her door brought Julie back to reality. Crap. It must be Scooter. I hope he's come to apologise she thought as she carefully wiped her eyes with her sleeves and tried to act as naturally as possible.
She opened the door to find Adam standing there. "I heard the commotion then saw you, are you alrig……. Holy shit!" Adam exclaimed when he saw her lip.
"Adam, I'm fine – really" she protested but in the protective role that all of the male Ducks took towards her and Connie he gently pushed her back into the room and shut the door behind him.
"You got any ice in here?" he asked heading over to the mini fridge that Connie has bought "to keep study snacks in". Julie nodded. "Good, go get me a towel" he ordered.
Julie protested "Adam, really I'm…" "Julie" Adam said with his eyebrows raised. "Alright" she said in defeat and headed towards the bathroom to retrieve a towel to put the ice in.
"Sit" Adam ordered pointing to the desk chair. Julie did as she was told. "Tilt you head back" he said gently pushing her hair out of her face and applying the homemade ice pack to her lip. "Don't move and keep it there" he said hearing the door knock "I'll get that" he announced before Julie could get the words "It might be Scooter" out.
"Cake-Eater?" Dean was surprised to see him answer Julie's door.
"Portman now's not a good time" Adam reasoned trying to close the door on him
"Like hell its not" Portman was too strong for Adam and flung the door open causing Adam to stumble back into the room.
He looked around the room in awe. He'd never really seen the inside of Julie and Connie's dorm room before. They had hockey posters on the walls and two desks that were actually tidy and neat without clothes thrown on them but then again, him and Fulton were slobs. And then he saw her.
