I liked the ONE review I got for this chap so far and I love how this story is turning out I know how it ends but I don't know the middle stuff lol…anyway here we go
Julies P.OV
"What are you doing here you almost scared me to death"
"Someone had to watch Katia" Adam told me coldly
" Mrs. McKay and Jan were here" I defended myself " I would never let Katia be in danger. You should know that"
" Whatever. You're here now so I'm going to go to my room. I'll see you at practice tomorrow" He had grabbed his jacket and was half-way out the door before I realized what was happening
" ADAM WAIT! Please let me explain" I pleaded with him to give me a chance
" Explain what?. You lied to me…To us. How could you just pretend nothing was wrong. Especially at Eden Hall. You know what it's like…all the pressure and everything. You should have given me more credit than what you did. I wouldn't have turned on you."
" so what are you doing now?" I asked him
" It's not about our families. You didn't trust me with that information when we first met." I had never seen him so angry
" I didn't know how you were when I first met you and by the time I realized who you were it as to late. I didn't think it would even come up or that it would make as big a difference as it did."
" You thought wrong"
" Are you guys fighting?"
We turned to see Katia at the door looking at us
Adam's P.O.V
Shoot. How long had she been there? What was I going to do? I didn't want to worry her. No matter how I felt about Julie at the moment I would not take it out on an innocent little girl .
" Don't worry about it sweetie. Your Aunt and I were just discussing something."
" It looked like you were yelling at each other"
" Sometimes grownups do that. Katia. Its alright no matter what happens even if we argue, we still care about each other, and about you. Nothing is going to change that alright?" I was hoping she would say okay so I could go. I didn't want to argue more with Julie tonight
" Yes. Can you tuck me in?" Katia had definitely inherited her aunts ability to turn me into putty because the look she gave me made me incapable of saying no even though the only thing I wanted was to high-tail it out of there
" If it's okay with your Aunt"
She gave Julie the same look she had given me a moment ago " Please Aunt Julie?"
" I don't think its such a good idea…."
"Aunt Julie…Please" Katia tried again. Julie gave me a look to see if I as okay with this , I sent her a nod to let her know I was.
"Okay" she relented. " Don't give him a hard time.
10 minuets later
"She's asleep and I don't think she's going to wake up again any time soon" I told Julie as I re-entered the room
" Thanks for doing this. I know your mad at me but… Thanks"
" I didn't do it for you. It's not Katie's fault that you lied to the ducks." I was her face fall a little and immediately regretted my choice of words " It's not your fault your sister ended up with a baby either. This Billy Calhoun is a sick man. You became a victim not a criminal. You understand that don't you?" I needed to make sure she dint blame herself before I could go.
" Sometimes it feels like I left her to her fate. I should have tried harder to get her to leave" She had started crying from her spot on the couch
"And your teachers shouldn't have asked you to skip a grade, and your parents should not have had you. Julie you cant what if your whole life. What happened happened and you cant change it." I said as I walked over to dry her tears. I hated to see her cry.
' Thank you Adam" She looked so pretty with tears in her eyes
" Okay. Well I'm going to go. Gotta get up early if you want to go hunting for goose eggs" I tried to get a laugh out of her.
" Adam. Are we okay?"
" We will be. Just… Give me some time okay?" It still hurt that she didn't trust me enough to tell me about her background.
" I understand" she sounded a little disappointed but I couldn't help the way I felt.
" Goodnight Julie" I said as I walked out the door
"Goodnight Adam" was the last thing I heard before the door closed.
I wish I could go back to yesterday when everything was okay and being around Julie wasn't weird.
