Title: Events Leading Up To

Paring: Adam/Tanya

Rating: T

Summary: Why did Adam act so foolishly during Always a Chance? He could have been destroyed. This is my reasoning. Short Story. Warning: Sorta Angsty

"Adam! Adam will you wake up! Jesus!" Tanya grumbled, shaking her boyfriend; attempting to wake him up.

"M'tired Tanya! I was working until 4 this morning!" Adam complained trying to move away from her.

"We're supposed to go hunting for an apartment today! Come on!" Tanya replied in an irritated tone. "Wake up!" she yelled shoving him till he rolled off the bed.

Adam stood up "Tanya! Can't we go later, I've only had 3 hours of sleep!" he yelled back.

"It's always later with you! Everything is later, later, later; I'm tired of it being later!"

Adam glared at her "I've been working my butt off Tanya. I'm sorry if that interferes with your schedule! What more do you want from me?" he asked heatedly. He'd been working over time doing stunt work for local filmmakers to save up enough money for them to move in together.

"I don't know" she said quietly. "All I know is I never see you anymore and I'm tired of it."

Adam's temper was cooled by the tone of her voice "What are you trying to say?" He asked in a deadly calm voice.

"I'm tired of this Adam; all we've been doing lately is fighting. You're always working, and when you aren't working your sleeping. Why are we doing this?" Tanya replied, taking a deep breath. "Maybe we shouldn't be doing this."

Adam's heart stopped "What are you trying to say Tanya?" He asked again, even though he already knew what she was going to say. "I love you."

"I… I know… go back to sleep, I'll see you around" she said turning around, walking out of Adam's bedroom.

The slamming of the door shook Adam out of the dazed shock he was in. She hadn't said I love you back, "Tanya" Adam said softly, sitting down on the bed, holding his head in his hands. He let out a frustrated and heartbroken groan and pushed himself up off the bed. "I gotta think" he said to himself, before quickly getting dressed and heading out the door.

Author's Note: Don't kill me people! There WILL be a sequel.
