Previously on Chapter 2-
"Okay. Anyways remember 2 years ago when I stayed at my house for the whole summer" Adam asked.
"Yea"Jack and Amanda said.
"Well here's what happened"he said.
"You guys get a F and you will have to study everything in this year at high school until you guys catch up" she said.
"B-but" Wendy was cut off.
"FINAL" the teacher said shaking her head in disappointment that 2 of her best students failed.
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo" the whole class started.
Adam and Wendy couldn't believe that they got a F for the first time in their life. Adam blamed Wendy while Wendy blamed him. They didn't speak to each other for the rest of the year. Adam's mom was disappointed at him. He didn't get in trouble in his life. He never got yelled at by his mom. His dad passed on when he was 5, but he knows that he would be mad at him. While Wendy's dad didn't really care about her grades. All he wants her is to be a lumberjack. Her mom will be disappointed if she was still alive.
Adam looked at his phone.
"Aw shoot" he sighed.
"What"Jack wanted to know.
"I have to walk home" he said.
"Are you serious" Amanda asked.
"You house is like 20 blocks away" she said.
"I know" Adam said.
"You guys want to walk with me" he asked.
"Sure" Jack said.
"I'll just call my mom to pick me up at your place"
"Okay" he said.
When Jack was finished, they all got up and payed. When they reached the door out, it opened. There were 6 people outside the diner looking at them. It was Wendy and her friends. Wendy was holding the door for her friends to come in, but they didn't. They watched as Adam and her made eye contact. Jack and Amanda looked at each other then back to them.
Atom was a year younger than Adam. She had blond hair with blue eyes. She wore tank tops with purple button down shirt with pink jeans. She wore the same shoes as Adam, but of course she was in her pajamas. Adam grabbed a bottle water with chips and went upstairs in his room. He changed into his white t-shirt while in his boxers. He pulled out his phone from left pocket of his jeans and looked for the one item that he always kepts with him since his 10th birthday.
"Huh" Adam getting worried now.
He looked around his clothes that he wear and still he couldn't find it.
"My back pack" he said running downstairs to his back pack.
"Whoa bro. Wear some pants for crying out loud" Atom said covering her eyes.
"Sorry sis" Adam still looking in his back pack.
"Its not here" Adam stopped looking.
He needed to sleep more than looking for the thing. So he decided to look for it tomorrow.
Wendy and her friends sat at the same spot that Adam,Amanda, and Jack sat at. They were having a normal day at the diner. Lee and Nate were racing to see who can finish 10 pancakes first while Thompson watched. Tambry didn't even touch her food yet and Robbie was in the bathroom probably trying to make up something that might get Wendy back. Wendy was eating when she accidentally knocked her phoned on the ground.
"Boo"she said.
She reached for her phone when she saw something familiar. She went and grabbed her phone and the item. She held it and realized that it was her present to Adam on his 10th birthday. It was a necklace which had a green pine tree. Adam always wore it before the he and her got F's. She never taught that Adam kept the necklace.
Chapter 3 - Project
Adam woke up with a head hurts and he was late for class like 5hours late and no one bothered to wake him up. He quickly ran down grabbed a bread and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Once he finished, he grabbed the piece of bread that was laying on the toilet lid and ate it. He grabbed his backpack and zoomed to school. 10minutes past and he saw his class and decided not to rush. He opened the door and everyone in the room started to stare at him. They all saw that Adam's hair was messing,his white t-shirt wasn't all the way down showing his belt, his boxers, and a pack giving the class that he has a 6pack.
"What" Adam asked as he placed down his shirt.
"Your late" Mr. Gabe said," and your usually not late"
"Sorry I lost something last night and I slept late" he replied back taking his seat.
Wendy thought about why he kept the necklace and decided to hold on it for a little while.
"Anyways, today your going to work on your project. With your partners. You will have an hour so the more you guys work, the less work you'll need" Mr. Gabe said.
"Begin"
Adam looked over at Wendy who was looking back at him. He felt a nudge on his shoulder to see Amanda and Jack looking at him.
"What" he asked.
"Go to Wendy man" Jack said and a nod from Amanda.
"Fine" Adam said grabbing his backpack and went over to Wendy. She was already thinking on what to write on the poster.
"Hey" he said awkwardly.
She looked up only to get lost in his eyes,but she manage to shake it off.
"Hey" she replied.
Adam took a seat followed by Robbie and his partner, Jacob who decided to try and get Wendy back while Jacob did the work.
"Hey Wendy" Robbie said sitting on her right.
Wendy used her hand to lay her face on looking away from Robbie.
"So where should we start at" she asked lazily looking at Adam.
"I don't know. Maybe to photosynthesis" Adam replied.
So for the past hour, Robbie tried to get back with Wendy. Wendy and Adam took turns with the poster added some drawings, information, and other things and chatted a lunch, Jack, Amanda, and Adam chatted a little and the rest of the periods went normal. (Today was Friday FYI) Adam was walking through the woods as usual. He was enjoying the adventure he went through when he was a kid even now. He always slept at his comfy spot every Friday. It's just his hobby. His spot was a flat grassy area that only had one fallen log in the middle. Also, the trees surround the small area. It was quiet at night and the view was good.
He was about to reach his spot when he heard a scream. It sounded familiar so he rushed to the area. As the sound got closer, Adam hid behind a bush. He looked and he was shocked. He saw Robbie holding down Wendy who had her pants on the ground.
"Wendy stop squirming around ugh. Your making this harder" Robbie said trying to hold her still on the ground.
"Hey" Adam shouted getting his attention only to see a fist from Adam to the face.
"Why do people always get in the way" Robbie said angrily. He pulled out a pocket knife.
"Leave us alone or you'll regret it" he said.
Adam stood over Wendy with his back turned to her.
"Leave her alone then" he replied.
Robbie charged at Adam and stabbed his chest, but Adam was able to hold the pain and grabbed Robbie's wrist and twisted it.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"Robbie's scream echoed through the forest.
"Suddenly, Sheriff Blubs and Deputy Durland came out from behind with a tazer gun and shot Robbie. Robbie down on the ground right away getting shocked. While Adam on the other hand couldn't take the pain anymore and pulled out the knife falling down on the ground unconscious. Wendy crawled over at Adam with her jean on and placed her hands on this chest. She quickly called the ambulance with tears in her eyes.
At Night
Adam woke up staring at a white ceiling and figured out he was at the hospital.
"Thank god your okay" Atom said hugging Adam making him flinch.
"Thanks" he replied.
"Hey, what happened to Wendy is she alright" he asked.
"Yea, she's at home trying to tell her dad everything" she said.
"Shoot, is it night time already" he asked.
"Yea sleepy head" she giggled a little.
Adam turned his head to the right to see 2 flowers from Amanda and Jack.
"Guessing mom is at work" he asked.
"Yea. Good thing I was informed or you'll get your butt beaten" she laughed a little.
Adam got up and felt his chest not that much painful. He got out of the bed and saw bandage wrapped around his chest as the blanket fell off.
"and what about Robbie" he asked.
"He's in jail and stop asking me questions. I'm getting annoyed" she replied
He chuckled. He slowly walked up to the window and realized he was on the first floor.
"If anyone ask, I'm at my resting spot and here" Adam reached in his jean's pocket and reached out a hundred bucks.
"Pay for the bills" he said.
"Fine, only once since your hurt"
Adam jumped out the window and walked away into the forest, shirtless. Atom watched him as he disappeared in the forest and walked to the counter. She paid the bills then saw Wendy at the entrance.
"Hey, Wendy. came to check on Adam" Atom waved.
Wendy was about to speak when Atom interrupted her.
"He's at the forest at his resting spot. Remember when 4years ago when he showed us"
"Thanks" Wendy said quietly walking to the place.
She didn't say thanks to Adam yet that's why she was looking at him. When she reached her destination, she saw Adam on grass with his arms behind his head staring at the stars.
"Hey" Wendy said getting his attention.
Adam turned to see who it was, it was Wendy. She was wearing gray jeans with a green tank top. He can tell that she was crying for a lot.
"Hey" Adam said smiling at her then turned back staring at the stars again.
Wendy walked closer to him and blushed when she saw him shirtless.
"Lay and look at the stars it's beautiful" Adam said while she nodded.
She followed what he said and looked at the stars. She had to admit that it was beautiful. She then turned her head to him.
"Adam, I just wanted to say thanks for, s-saving my butt over there. a lot" she said.
Adam just looked at her and said" Don't worry about it. We are still friends(Wendy was shocked with her eyes wide) I made a promise to you and Atom 4 years ago on this very same spot to protect you" he said smiling at her"
She suddenly remembered about what he meant.
4 Years Ago
Adam and Wendy were 11 and Atom was 10. They were all on their backs watching the stars.
"Hey guys, I want to make a promise with you guys" Adam said getting their attention.
"What" they both asked.
Adam sat up and the two followed. He then placed his hand in the middle of the group. They were confused, but Adam explained.
"I want to make a promise with you guys that I will protect you guys no matter what" Adam smiled.
Wendy placed her hands in the middle"Okay but if you break the promise, you'll pay us 20 bucks... each"
"Deal" Atom placed her hand in the middle now.
"Yea. Like thats gonna happen" he chuckled.
Wendy started to cry. After everything that she did that made his life hell. He still remembered the promise. Adam looked at Wendy and asked whats wrong.
"I'm sorry for all those years I did to make you life hell. Adam I'm really sorry" she cried.
Adam felt sad now. He used his right arm to scoot her closer to him and laid her head on his chest. She cried on his chest hugging him tightly.
"It's okay Wendy. shhh" he said softly while he raked her hair.
She started to cry until she felt sleepy.
"Please, I don't want to sleep by myself after what happened. Stay with me" Wendy asked looking up at Adam.
"Of course, I will never leave you" he said smiling back at her.
She shifted to a comfortable position with her head sill on his chest while he raked her hair.
"Thanks" she said quietly before drifting off to sleep with the best pillow she ever had. Adam winced a little when she laid at the same spot he got stabbed ,but he smiled. She looks so cute he thought soon falling asleep too.
