Chapter 19-

Pain shot through my face clearing my drunken mind pretty quick. When I realized that Eddie was rearranging Adrian's face I just acted. I flew at him knocking him across the hall. He hit pretty hard, but at that moment I didn't really care. "Damn it Eddie, that fucking hurt," I yelled rubbing my eyes. "What the hell were you thinking?"

Eddie looked over at me with a look of confusion. Then something crossed his face. Horror? "Oh God Sam, I am so sorry. I didn't realize. I didn't think-"

"That's the problem,"' I said with a sigh. "No one seems to be thinking lately." I shook my head and headed back towards my dorm.

I sat on my bed staring out my window at the sun that was that was just coming up over the horizon. I sighed. It was something I actually did miss. I hadn't been out in it in a while and I just wanted to lye out there and soak up the rays. There was actually a lot about my old life I missed. I wouldn't go back if you paid me, but I missed my family and the sun and well I guess that's about it. I was just having a hard time grasping the fact that for the rest of my life I was going to be bonded to this person. I would feel everything they felt and some day go all freaky like Rose does and see though his eyes. And really, that thought scared me. I did NOT want to see anything through Adrian's eyes when he got…excited.

I was staring out my window when my chest got tight and I felt like I wanted to cry. I had no idea why. I mean, I was sad and a little homesick, but nothing that would make me cry. Then I realized it was coming from Adrian. I knew he wasn't on the verge of tears, but he felt guilt and when I feel guilty about something, I cry. Damn this bond.

I got up and opened my door before Adrian even had a chance to knock. He gave me a startled confused look. I pointed to my head and smiled. "Built in Adrian sensor…remember?" He nodded but no emotion played on his face. It was so not Adrian and this did not suit him at all. "Get in here before the hall matron sees you and we both get in trouble. The last thing I need is for you to get kicked out of school and sent away to where I can't protect you or kick your ass for getting me drunk." Giving me a small smile he walked in. "Above the rules Sam."

I glared at him. "Yeah, you may be, but I most certainly am not. Now what I can I do for you?" I asked sitting on my bed.

"I came to apologize," he said not looking at me. "I didn't realize that it was already starting to happen. It took longer with Rose and Lissa. I never would have done anything like that if I knew it would affect you like that. I never want to hurt you."

I looked up and smiled. "Yeah, well, I guess you are forgiven. Just keep it to two bottles from now on. I like my liver the way it is thank you very much."

He nodded and finally gave me a smile. "You did quite the number on Eddie, you know. Lissa said he had a concussion and there was a dent in the wall where his head hit."

My jaw hit the floor. "Shit," I muttered. "I didn't mean to do that. I guess there is going to be a lot of apologizing today."

"Well you can apologize in four hours when you meet us at the gates."

"Why would I be meeting you at the gates in four hours?"

"Because my dear friend, today is the day we go shopping."

Adrian was grinning one of his stupid smiles that makes me want to smack him.

"I am not going shopping," I said crossing my arms over my chest. "I am going to bed."

"You can sleep on the ride out there," he said. "Besides you have no choice. You are going to be my guardian, you have to come."

"I'm not your guardian yet," I said glaring at him. "So, therefore I have no obligation to go with you on your little adventure."

"Sam, you said you would go and Rose and Lissa are really looking forward to it."

"That doesn't count," I said pouting. "I was drunk and had no idea what I was agreeing too. And I cant afford to go."

I walked over and sat on my bed looking back out my window.

"Sam, you know this is on Lissa and I, don't you? You don't have to worry about money."

"That's the problem Adrian. I don't feel comfortable with that. I am not a charity case."

"We never thought you were. We just wanted to do something nice for you. You have been a good friend. Truthfully we never thought you would be so…accepting of us."

I couldn't help but laugh. "Accepting of you? Yeah, okay Adrian."

"Sam," Adrian said coming to sit next to me. "You really don't see yourself clearly do you?"

I looked up at him and narrowed my eyes. "Eddie said the same thing to me. I see myself just fine. I see the real me."

"No Sam, you don't. Just come today. I promise you a good time and wont force you to buy a thing if you don't want to. I cant make promises for Lissa, because honestly she will probably buy you everything she thinks would be cute on you. I don't know, I think it's a princess thing."

"Okay, so what's Roses excuse then?" I asked

"She practically is a princess. She's been friends with Lissa since she was in kindergarten."

"Fine," I said glaring at him. "But I am not going to be happy about it. I am only going to please the rest of you."

"Good, now get some rest. I'll call you in two hours so you have time to get ready."

I grunted and face planted into my pillow. "I really hate you right now Adrian. I hope you know that."

"No you don't my little human guardian. You love me," he said kissing the top of my head. "I'll see you in a few hours and we can talk more."

I grunted and through my pillow at him.

After he left my room I decided that an hour and a half of sleep was just going to piss me off so I just stared out my window and watched the sun that was now making the sky shine with beautiful pinks and blues and oranges. I let the rays into my room and pressed my head against the glass and soaked it up. I really had missed the sun.
