Chapter 16
July 6th, 1998 Adam's POV
When I woke up this morning, I had noticed that I didn't have any feeling in my right arm. I didn't know why. My lower half was still tied down to the bed, so I was forced to sleep on my back. Something that took me a couple of nights to get used to. I like to sleep on my stomach. I looked over to my right side and found my sister curled up next to me, with her head on my shoulder.
"BELLA! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN THIS BED!" I screamed.
"What… woah," Bella said and then she fell onto the floor.
"Are you alright?" I asked.
"Yes, I am fine," Bella said as she got up. Luckily, she landed on her ass and didn't hit her head.
"Good. Now what the hell were you doing in my bed?" I asked.
"I couldn't sleep, I came here in the middle of the night. I needed to sleep with my brother," Bella said.
"That is gross on so many levels," I said.
"You would not be saying that if it was Gunnar in this bed and not me," Bella said.
"Oh please, Gunnar hasn't been up here in the last few days, I think that we are kind of through," I said as I rolled my eyes.
"He hasn't broken up with you yet," Bella said.
"Yeah right, who would want someone like me?" I said.
"I do! Don't be thinking about wanting to die again! I have something I need to tell you," Bella said.
"Yeah what's that?" I asked.
"When I get back to Minneapolis I am filing for emancipation from mom and dad," Bella said.
"What?" I asked.
"You heard me," Bella said.
"Emancipation from mom and dad, Why?" I asked.
"Because Ollie is right, they don't deserve to have us, since they abused us so much," Bella said.
"You realize that Dad will fight you tooth and nail over this," I said.
"I don't care, Adam. If Dad never disowned you, we would not be here in this situation. It's dad's fault that we are so screwed up," Bella said.
Breakfast had come and then Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy and My psychiatrist came to pick on me in back-to-back order. I was so tired when my psychiatrist, Dr. Caseman was done with me I needed a nap before lunch. When I woke up, I saw Bella sketching and Ollie reading a big thick book, that he was totally engrossed with. "Hey Bella, what are you sketching?" I asked.
"Some inspiration that I got from this morning's walk with Physical Therapy," Bella said.
"Can I see it?" I asked.
"It's not done yet," Bella said.
"So? I want to see it please?" I asked.
"Bella if he wants to see it let him see it," Ollie said.
Bella sighed before saying, "Oh alright.' She got off her perch on the window box and came over to my bed. 'It's not done yet; I am not particularly good with self-portraits."
It was a picture of me and her together. I was in my hospital gown walking down the hall while Bella was right beside me, she had just finished her body and was working on her face and hair.
"It's good," I said.
"Thanks," she said. I would never have been as artistic as she was. I don't know where she got that talent from.
Bella's POV
Charlie, Gunnar, and Casey came up to visit Adam in the hospital this afternoon. Coach and Ms. MacKay came up an hour before to see Adam. "Hey your looking good, man. How are you feeling?" Charlie asked.
"Better now that they have me untied, I am actually able to get up and visit the bathroom with supervision of course," Adam said.
"Good I am glad," Charlie said.
"Hi" Gunnar said.
"Hi" Adam said. They shared a kiss on the cheek. I was slightly disgusted with it, but I suppose that if my brother is gay, I needed to accept it. I was glad that Charlie wasn't that way.
"Oh, good your all here," a lady said as she walked in. "I am Dr. Caseman and what we like to do with the family all gathered together is a game called never had I ever," Dr. Caseman said as she passed out paddle boards to all of us.
"What's this game for?" Coach Bombay asked.
"It's an exercise to show Adam that we are all not as perfect as we all pretend to be," Dr. Caseman said.
The rules of the game were simple we were all given a paddle except for Baby Hans that had I have on one side and I never had on the other side and we had to be honest. Adam, Charlie, and I were sitting on the couch in Adam's room. Charlie was in between Adam and I; Ollie had the reclining chair, Gunnar had the straight back desk chair and we had to go and get 4 chairs from the meeting room for Coach, Ms. MacKay, Casey, and Dr. Caseman
The first 20 or so questions were soft ball questions. Things like never had I ever slept in regular clothing or thought a cartoon character was hot. Coach's reaction to the cartoon character question was hilarious because it was Wilma Flintstone. "I was 9 years old," Coach said.
Then came the question I had been dreading; Never had I ever had sex with another person. Charlie was the last person to raise his paddle to I have.
"Wait a minute, wait just a minute. I knew about Reilly raping my sister. Charlie you were a virgin when I left?" Adam asked.
"Yeah, I and Bella had sex together. And it was good!" Charlie said.
"YOU HAD SEX WITH MY SISTER? I OUTTA KILL YOU RIGHT NOW!" Adam yelled and then he put his hands around Charlies neck and pressed down.
"Adam, let go," Dr. Caseman said. He kept pressing on Charlie's airway.
"Adam, Adam it was my idea, I needed to know if I could be intimate with a man, any man. Charlie and I started seeing each other again. I asked him," I said.
"IS THAT TRUE CHARLIE?" ADAM YELLED.
"Yes, oxygen I can't breathe! World getting dark!" Charlie said with a strain on his vocal cords. Then Adam released Charlie, who took several deep breaths.
"Are you okay Charlie?" I asked.
"Yeah I think so," Charlie said.
"Adam we will be talking about this in a future session," Dr. Caseman said.
"Casey are you okay with this? Because I don't think that I am comfortable with them exploring this side of their sexuality at 15 years old!" Coach said.
"I wasn't at first and then I realized that it's a part of life, as long as they are careful and if they do see other people that they are truthful to them when they approach that stage of their relationship and I know that Bella went on birth control," Casey said.
"How did you know that?" Charlie asked.
"Genny Moreau," Casey said.
"Oh, great Connie's mom is just as much of a blabber mouth as Connie is," Charlie groaned.
Coach just shook his head; I don't think that he could picture the four of us in a sexual relationship.
"Okay, let's take a break from Never have I ever. Can you tell us the age's you were when you lost your virginity?" Dr. Caseman asked.
"I was eighteen," Coach Bombay said.
"Twenty-one," Ms. MacKay said.
"Nineteen, I got pregnant with Charlie on that one," Casey said.
"Fourteen," Gunnar said.
"Fourteen," Adam said.
"Fifteen," Charlie said.
"Does rape count?" I asked.
"No," Dr. Caseman said.
"Fifteen," I said.
Ollie coughed and quickly said something.
"What was that Ollie I didn't hear you," Dr. Caseman said.
"I was thirteen, Alright? Thirteen. I was playing truth or dare, and I was dared," Ollie said.
"Alright let's take a deep breath in,' Dr. Caseman said. Which we did, 'and blow it out like a balloon," Dr. Caseman said. "Alright let's take another deep breath in and blow it back out," Dr. Caseman said.
Then came the next question that really surprised me. "Never had I ever, kissed someone that was the same sex as me," Dr. Caseman said. I, Ollie, Coach, Ms. Mackay, Casey all raised the never had side. Adam, Gunnar, and Charlie raised the I have.
"What? Charlie? Who?" I asked.
"Adam, last Thanksgiving," Charlie said.
"You kissed my boyfriend?" I yelled at my brother.
"He kissed me first," Adam said. I got up and ran out of the room. I couldn't take it anymore, I had to leave.
"Bella, Bella, wait," I heard Charlie say in the lobby of the hospital. I had tears in my eyes I just ran faster the man that I loved, the man I willingly gave myself too had kissed my brother.
Charlie had grabbed my arm in the parking lot "Would you stop a minute?" Charlie asked.
"HOW COULD YOU, HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ME? YOU KISSED MY BROTHER! THEN YOU KISSED ME AND HAD SEX WITH ME! THAT'S LIKE WAY WORSE THEN GUNNAR AND ADAM HAVING SEX TOGETHER!" I yelled.
"I know, I'm sorry. I don't know what I was thinking but if it makes you feel better I like your kisses way better," Charlie said.
I slapped him, hard!
"I guess I deserve one," Charlie asked as he cupped his cheek.
"YOU THINK? DON'T COME NEAR ME CHARLES ALEXANDER CONWAY! I HATE YOU! WE ARE DONE" I said. And then I ran off. I didn't know where I was running too, but I had to get away from them!
Adam's POV
Bella left; Charlie went after her. We all sat there for a good five minutes, Before Gunnar said, "I can't believe it Adam. Kissing Charlie?"
"I know, I'm sorry, Gunnar," I pleaded with him. I didn't know what else to say. True I didn't start the kiss, but I didn't know what to do to make Gunnar feel better.
Then we heard from my third-floor window Bella yelling, "HOW COULD YOU, HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ME? YOU KISSED MY BROTHER! THEN YOU KISSED ME AND HAD SEX WITH ME! THAT'S LIKE WAY WORSE THEN GUNNAR AND ADAM HAVING SEX TOGETHER!"
Then within a minute we saw Charlie getting slapped. "YOU THINK? DON'T COME NEAR ME CHARLES ALEXANDER CONWAY! I HATE YOU! WE ARE DONE!" Bella yelled. Ms. MacKay saw the four of us; Coach, Ollie, Gunnar, and I were spying on Bella and Charlie from my hospital room.
"Bella and Charlie would not appreciate you spying on them," Ms. MacKay said.
When people started to leave, Gunnar said, "It ofer! Goodbye." In three short words I lost my boyfriend and Bella broke up with Charlie. I sat in my bed and cried.
A/N: What do you think? Were Bella and Gunnar right to break up with their respective boyfriend's? What are your thoughts on the various confessions? What will happen to the Banks children? Please be kind and leave a review!
