It was 9:00 by the time Aaron and I left our room. When we enter the dining room Aaron heads straight towards the coffee machine while I sit across from Kenji.

"Good morning everyone," I say with a bright smile. Winston grunts in acknowledgement without looking up from his coffee, the others offer waves and nods. When I look up at Kenji I notice his raised eyebrows and sly smirk, I stare at him expectantly until he finally speaks.

"You're thirty minutes late Princess, were you...busy or something?" he asks waggling his eyebrows. I simply glare across the table at him. I then notice that everyone at the table has stopped what they were doing to observe the exchange. From his position at the drink cart I can see Warner's shoulders shaking, no doubt in amusement because of my obvious discomfort.

"Where are Adam, and James?" Aaron asks changing the subject. He then glides across the room and takes his seat next to me.

It's Castle who answers, "I normally pass them on my way to breakfast and I didn't see them this morning, so I'm not quite sure." All of a sudden James comes stumbling into the dining hall rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.

"Nice of you to join us in the land of the living, kid," Kenji says.

James shrugs and swipes a piece of bacon of Kenji's plate.

"HEY! That way mine," Kenji hollers. At this Winston looks up, and glares at him from across the table.

"It is way to early for that shit, keep it down Moto."

Kenji scowls, and responds, "Can it, Blondie."

I laugh silently, and interrupt the two by questioning James, "Where's Adam?"

"I'm not quite sure he said-" James cuts himself off by yawning; "he said that he wasn't coming down for breakfast today, he said instead he was going straight to the gym. He seemed upset this morning, and when I asked him about it he told me to 'stop asking so many questions', so I don't know what's wrong." I frown when I hear this. I thought Adam had been doing better recently.

I scoot my chair back and stand up, "Well I better go check on him then," I announce. Warner meets my eyes, but his expression is unreadable. I lean down and place a kiss on his cheek for good measure, his lips turn up in a small smile then.

I find Adam in the gym, where James said he would be, violently jabbing at a punching bag.

"Hey Adam" I shout approaching him.

"Hey," he spits back as he continues his task. I stand and wait for a full minute waiting for him to stop and talk, but he never does.

"Can you stop for a second?" I ask, "We need to talk."

"Talk then," he responds still punching the bag.

"Adam," I plead.

"Fine," he responds, walking away towards the locker rooms using a towel to wipe of his neck and forehead. I follow him,and sit down next to him on one of the benches.

After a few beats of silence I whisper, "What's wrong Adam?"

He sighs and takes a moment to answer, "I hate the way that things ended between us. I hate myself for what I said to you, and I hate myself even more for not apologizing until now. I'm sorry Juliette, I only said those things because I was angry and confused. That's not the only reason I'm angry though, I saw how you and Warner acted with one another yesterday. There is something going on between you, I'm just frustrated that you didn't come out and say it when I accused you of it earlier."

"To be fair Warner and I weren't together when you accused me of it, and we never did anything behind your back when you and I were together," I respond.

"I know you never cheated on me, I only said that because I was upset. You can't deny that you loved him though when I accused you of that too."

I take a moment to respond and whisper, "My heart already belonged to him, my brain just didn't know it."

"I use to be mad about it, you know, the idea of you and him together use to fill me with so much rage. At first it was because I was jealous, and then, when I got over you, it was because I thought he was the biggest piece of shit, and that he didn't deserve you." He pauses and runs his fingers through his hair.

"But now that I know what he went through, due to our piece of shit father, I can understand why he did all the things he did. I know he's really not that terrible of a person, Anderson made him that way. I can see the way you two look at each other too, that's true love. We never had that, and I understand that now."

I smile and wipe the tears off my cheeks, "Thank you," I rasp out.

"Why are you crying?" He chuckles.

"I never wanted to lose you, Adam. Even though we aren't together romantically you're still very important to me," I respond.

"And you're still important to me," he says. He stands up and opens his arms for a hug, I don't hesitate to be wrapped in them.

"Friends?" He whispers.

"Friends," I respond.

I didn't really like how things ended between these two in the series, so I wanted to give them closure. I hope you enjoyed! I would also like to thank the guest and Lala-rainbowlight for their reviews; I really appreciate it! I may change the rating of the story to M due to next chapter's suggestive nature. Even though nothing's actually described I want to stay on the safe side, or I may cut those parts completely. I'm not sure yet. Anyways, thanks for reading and I'll see you next chapter.
