Charlie groaned and laid his head down on the kitchen table. Up stairs he could hear Adam and Amore fighting for the third time in just a couple short hours. He wasn't sure what this fight was about and he really didn't want to know. The two of them were going to have to figure out their problems on their own. He could hear a few light laughs coming from his laptop speakers and he glared at the screen and the faces smirking back at him.

"It's not funny!" Charlie demanded as his friends laughed and nodded back at him.

"You were the one that agreed to do it." Goldberg said taking a bite of a candy bar. "You could have told Bombay no."

Charlie cringed when he heard a door slam upstairs and Amore scream his name.

"Charlie! I swear I'm going to kill him!" Amore demanded as she beat on the bathroom door. "Adam! I have to pee! Two seconds and I'm out! You can shave in your room anyway!"

Charlie looked at his friends with a look that read help.

"Sorry Charlie, but like Goldberg said." Connie said with a smirk. He could see her room mate roll her eyes in the background. Apparently Connie and her room mate didn't hit it off that well. "You could have told Bombay no."

"And let them go through life like they had the last four years." Charlie protested. "Something had to be done. And you all know it."

Julie sighed heavily. "Just do what you have been doing. Stay out of it. Eventually they will get sick of fighting and one of them will break down."

"Didn't they have four years for one of them to break down?" Goldberg asked. "I say its a lost cause. They're both too stubborn. Charlie man pack up your shit and get out of there before you get killed in the crossfire."

Charlie sighed. "They haven't been stuck in the same house for four years. Even at the dorms our rooms were on different floors..."

Charlie cringed when he hear Adam yelp.

"Damn it Amore get out!" Adam roared.

"I have to pee!" Amore screamed back at him. There was another slamming of the bathroom door and a pained cry from Adam.

"You could have waited till I was all the way out of the bathroom before you slam the door!" Adam demanded. Charlie sighed and put his head back down on the table.

"I'm sorry Charlie." Julie said sadly. "I don't think any of us realized it was going to be this bad."

Charlie groaned. "It's only been two days!"

He looked back up at the computer screen. "Two days and I'm about to lock them in a room together and let them fight it out."

"My money's on Amore." Goldberg said causing Julie and Connie to roll their eyes.

"And why in the hell would Bombay pick an apartment with one bathroom? Its like he picked this place knowing it would make them fight!" Charlie said in frustration. "Oh and did I mention they have to share a closet! Why would they put those two in the conjoined bedrooms! Are they mad! Why didn't they just stick to the place I chose!"

Connie and Julie couldn't help but laugh at sharing a closet part. The thought of those two sharing a closet was priceless. Especially knowing Amore ran around her room in her underwear. She never got fully dressed till last minute.

"Charlie!" Adam said storming into the kitchen.

"I'm not switching you rooms Adam." Charlie said. "And I'm not getting involved."

Adam groaned and sat down next to Charlie. He knew he had been talking to some of the Ducks and at this moment he really didn't care if they witnessed this conversation.

"I can't do this Charlie." Adam said looking at his best friend with sad blue eyes. "I can't have her this close."

Connie's heart broke for the poor boy. She wished she could reach through the computer and hug him. All through high school she had seen Amore's struggles. And know that she was seeing Adam's it made her realize they should have done something sooner.

"Then apologize." Julie replied simply. "We've talked about this Adam."

Adam rolled his eyes and shook his head at the screen.

"Oh my god!" Connie's room mate said coming to the screen. "Is that Adam Banks?"

Adam blushed a bit and looked down at his hands. "Hey Trish."

"Wait you know her!" Connie said pushing her roommate away from the computer screen.

"She went to school with Amore and me." Adam replied.

"You sure have grown up." Trish said with a smile. "Is Amore still scrawny?"

Adam rolled his eyes and glared at the screen. "She grew up better than you, that's for sure."

Trish's jaw dropped. "Should have known..."

Before Trish could do more damage Connie closed out of the video chat.

Julie smiled. "One step at a time Adam."

She then also exited her video chat.

"Hey how is the cafeteria food there?" Goldberg asked.

"Good bye Goldberg." Charlie said with a shake of his head as he also exited the video chat. He then turned to Adam.

"We all understand that it's hard Adam." Charlie said patting his friend's shoulder as he stood up. "But you have to make an effort. Or its going to be like this forever."

Adam rolled his eyes. "You just quoted Julie didn't you."

Charlie nodded. "That I did."

XOXOXOXOX

Amore sat out on the small deck in the back of their apartment. Adam and Charlie had left to go check out the campus a few hours earlier and she was more than happy to stay behind. A couple hours free from Adam was just what she needed. Sighing heavily she turned to her laptop hoping one of the Ducks would come online. She needed to talk to some one other than Charlie and she didn't care what Duck it was.

Connie rolled her eyes at her room mate as she bombarded her for the fifth time that day about Adam and Amore. Connie was sick of telling her they were none of the girls business but she didn't seem to take the hint. She looked at her computer and smirked when she saw that Amore was online. She clicked on the girls name and Amore was soon on her screen with a warn look on her face, but her eyes lit up to see Connie smiling back at her.

"Oh thank god!" Amore said with a sigh of relief. "You have no clue how long I've been waiting for one of you to get online."

Connie smiled. "Adam still giving you troubles?"

At the sound of Adam's name Trish perked up. She came over to Connie and looked over the girl's shoulder to see who she was talking to.

"Trish! It's none of your business. Don't you have some where else to be!" Connie demanded when she realized her room mate was standing over her shoulder.

"I thought you looked familiar." Amore said rolling her eyes. "How's it goin Trish? You still a Hawk groupie?"

Trish smirked. "Ready for a rematch."

Amore smirked. "they had their rematch, and we kicked their ass. What more is there to prove?"

Connie smirked then turned to face her roommate with a glare that could set her a blaze if possible. The girl rolled her eyes and went back to her bed. Connie rolled her eyes and turned her attention back to Amore. "Sorry about her. She's been a pain in the ass since she saw Adam last night."

Amore tried not to glare at the girl but found it almost impossible. Connie giggled knowing her friend was about to make a comment about her talking to Adam first and not her. "I was talking to Charlie when Adam came down demanding Charlie switch rooms with him. That's when Trish recognized him. He didn't seem to happy to see her."

"Of course he wouldn't." Amore said with a smirk. "She was the biggest Hawk groupie there was. Followed the boys around like a lost puppy. Adam the most. She tried to split us apart on multiple occasions. Bet she's happy to hear about the fall out. Probably made her day."

Connie snickered. "She doesn't know. Last night she asked if you were still scrawny. Adam told her that you grew up way better than she did."

"He said what?" Amore said in awe. This caused Connie to giggle.

"See, don't give up on him yet." Connie said with a sly smile. "You two still have a chance to get married, have four to five kids, live in a big house with a couple dogs and drive mini vans."

Amore rolled her eyes. "You've been talking to Diana again."

Connie nodded. "Stop denying it. You want that too."

Amore blushed but shook her head. "I am not having four to five kids!"

"So you would marry him!" Connie said in a fit of giggled.

Amore smiled and shook her head. "I'm getting out of this conversation before you make something of it. Bye Cons. Tell Guy I miss him and will get a hold of him soon."

"Will do. Love ya girl." Connie wiggled her nose and exited the video chat. Amore sat back and sighed. She really wanted to go find Adam and Charlie. But she knew better. The less time she spent with Adam, the less chances of starting a fight.

She closed her laptop and turned around to find Charlie and Adam standing behind her. By the look on Adam's face he had heard a lot more than he should have. He rolled his eyes and walked away. For some reason this angered Amore. She stormed past Charlie and followed Adam up stairs. When he turned to shut his door, he jumped to see a very ticked off Amore standing behind him.

"What?" Adam asked rolling his eyes.

"Why are you doing this!" Amore demanded. "Do you know what this has done to me the last four years!"

Adam sighed and shut the door in her face. Amore slammed her fist against the door. "Damn you Adam! I'm sorry ok. How many times do I have to say it!"

Adam opened the door and glared down at her. "You don't have to apologize any more ok. I get the hint. Your sorry. I really don't want to hear it any more."

Amore felt tears well up in her eyes. "I did love you back then Adam. But what does a fourteen year old girl know about love. I was scared."

Adam rolled his eyes. "Scared of what Amore? Being with some one you've known for years?"

Amore shook her head. "No, of loosing my best friend if something went wrong."

Adam shook his head. "I don't believe you. You knew me better than any one back then. Do you really think I'd hurt you?"

Amore bit her lower lip and smacked him hard across the face. "You did hurt me."

Amore rushed back down the stairs past Charlie and out the front door. She got into her car and drove off. The moment Adam heard her car he rushed down stairs and out the door as she drove away.

"Amore!" Adam called after her. He knew she couldn't hear him. But he refused to give up. He couldn't let her run away again. No matter how mad he was at her. He couldn't live with himself if she disappeared again.

"Let her go Adam." Charlie. Said placing a hand on his friends shoulder. Adam shrugged it off.

"I can't let her run away again Charlie." Adam demanded. Charlie looked at his friend then back at Amore's tail lights.

"Shit."

XOXOXOX

Amore walked back into the apartment about two in the morning. She knew Charlie was worried sick about her because the Ducks had been calling her nonstop since she left. She walked into the house to find the living room light on. She sighed knowing that she would be getting an earful from Captain Duck. She hung her head and walked into the living room and smirked at what she saw. Charlie was sleeping in the recliner. His long legs spread open to keep him from sliding out of the chair as he slept. She grabbed the blanket on the floor and placed it over him. As she turned to walk away she spotted another sleeping form on the large L shaped couch. She bit her lower lip and slowly walked up the stairs. She came back a few minutes later with one of Adam's favorite blankets and placed it over him. She then went to her room and fell asleep the moment her head hit the pillow.
