Oh I forgot I DO NOT OWN DEGRASSI
Drew, Eli, and Clare were sitting on Eli's car eating chips and drinking vitamin water when they saw Alli step out of Adam's building.
"Alli, over here" Drew said as he waved her over, Drew and Alli shared a kiss.
"Hey I didn't expect to see you here, where you with Anya?" Clare asked
"Uhm yeah after I called Drew I got here as fast as I could to make sure Fiona didn't beat her up"
"Yeah that turned out to be unnecessary we got here at the same time as they did, the only one that got hurt was Adam" Eli said as he remembered Adam getting kicked.
"So what happened up there?" Drew finally asked what they were all wondering.
"Well Anya saw when Adam and Fiona hugged and she wasn't too happy I think she pieced everything together, because as soon as Adam walked through the door she slapped him, hard, and I mean hard."
"Oooh" they all said in unison.
"Yeah, as soon as that happened I got the hell out of there."
"So it must be like a full on war up there."
"Nope, if I know my brother the slap didn't faze him, he's probably trying to smooth things over, but as soon as this is over he's definitely going to feel all the hurt he got today." They instinctively looked up to the fourth floor of the apartment.
Adam had decided on taking the stairs, it gave him time to think about what he could say or what would alleviate the situation even a little bit. His hands were starting to sweat and he felt like his legs were made of led. He got to his door and stared at it for what seemed like hours and then he finally gathered enough courage to open the door. He walked in looked around and spotted her on the couch next to Alli?
"Anya, I think we need to talk" Anya turned around looked at him got up and slapped him as hard as she could, out of the corner of his eye he could see Alli walk out, he grabbed his cheek.
"Please give me a chance to explain, please Anya stop" Anya was crying and hitting his chest with her fists, he grabbed her forearms and pulled her in to hug her she struggled but finally let herself cry on his shoulder.
"Listen to me the last thing I'd ever want to do is hurt you, but when you saw me with the ring and you thought I proposed I didn't know…" Anya pulled away from his embrace and stood up looking at him with nothing but pure hate in her eyes.
"You didn't even mean to propose, so why were you on your knee, why did you let me call all my friends and family, and why did you let me put on the ring that was meant for your ex!" Adam was silent he knew that if he didn't say something now to fix it, he was certain to lose her, but he couldn't think of anything. He had hurt her so much in a matter of minutes and she deserved so much better than any of it.
"I..I don't know" Anya ran to their room and Adam could hear things being thrown and went to the room behind to see her putting clothes into a suitcase.
"Anya stop you don't have to pack your stuff…" Anya turned to face him.
"this isn't my stuff this is your stuff, you're the one that's moving out why should I, I did nothing wrong"
"Fine, okay that's fair but listen to me I don't want to lose you"
"You don't want to lose me? Are you serious, if you didn't want to lose me you could have fixed this the moment I stupidly assumed you'd proposed, I should have known…" She stopped to see that she had ripped his shirt and she could see the tattoo, F.C.
"You never got over her, I should have known from the moment you came home with that stupid tattoo, forever crowned my ass. We both know that, that means Fiona Coyne" Adam looked down at his tattoo, why didn't his brother or Eli for that matter try to stop him from getting it, they just stood there.
"I am over her, I love you" Anya stopped shoving all his stuff into the suitcase to look into his eyes.
"Then answer one simple question"
"Okay anything"
"Do you still love her" Adam thought about when he hugged her and the jolt of electricity he felt at her touch, and frowned, Anya saw the look in his face and walked back into the living room with his suitcase in hand and he followed.
"Anya wait" he tried to take her hand in his but she stepped back pulling her hand.
"I don't want to see you again, don't call, don't text, and if we happen to run into each other turn the other way, this is it were done, get out" Adam's eyes started to tear and he could feel a knot building in his throat he swallowed it and reached his hand out for the suitcase, which she then continued to throw out the window. He didn't budge for a second as he saw her start to cry, he wanted to hug her but before he could reach out, Anya stepped back pointed at the door.
"I SAID GET OUT, NOW!" He turned and started to open the door he looked back one more time to see Anya with her hands to her face crying. He had done that to her, he broke her heart. He opened the door and let himself out. Suddenly he just wanted to hit someone mostly himself but instead settled for the wall he punched the wall over and over until he heard something crack, his rage was gone and he looked at his fist it was bleeding and he'd probably broken a knuckle or two.
"Did you see that" Drew said pointing at the window.
"See what?" Eli was looking around but nothing was where Drew was pointing, Clare eyes landed on a suitcase in the middle of the road, and turned Eli's face to it.
"Is that a suitcase" Alli walked over and picked it up, then shrugged at Drew.
"That's Adam's, I swear I saw it fly out the window, I guess it didn't go over too well. They all got up as soon as they saw Adam walk out of the building holding his hand, they walked over to him.
"What the hell happened to your hand, it looks fucked up" Drew said as he grabbed Adam's hand to fully examine it. Clare saw Adam's eyes were blood shot and knew that he really wanted to break down. She grabbed Adam and took him into the alley out of everyone's view. He looked up at her and sure enough tears were running down his cheeks.
"Adam…" She had never seen him so distraught and broken, he suddenly grabbed her around her waist as he fell to his knees and started to cry into her dress, she dropped to the floor next to him and tried to soothe him. Next thing she knew Drew was pulling his brother up and holding him up as he tightly hugged him. Eli was shocked into his position but he saw his friend was really hurting so the only thing he could do was to put his hand on Adam's shoulder just so that he'd know he was there.
"It's alright, go ahead and cry, we're here for you" Drew whispered into his brother's ear, he hated seeing him like this it broke his own heart, it took every fiber of his being not to cry with his brother. He had seen Adam when he had been thrown through a glass door, when their mom had forced him to be Gracie, when he'd miss family reunions for the sake of hiding who he was, and when he had broken the engagement with Fiona. All those times Adam had sucked it up and tried to push his feelings down, and after today his brother had finally broken all those times he had held his tears had finally broken threw.
When Drew heard his brother stop he decided to break the silence.
"You done, cuz you're really heavy. All those muscles are starting to kill my back." Everyone laughed and Adam stepped back with a grin on his face wiping away the tears that hadn't dried. Clare and Alli had been crying to, at the sight of so much emotion. Eli turned around and saw them wiping away tears trying to hide that they had cried and couldn't help but to smile at them.
"See Adam, you got them all weepy" Adam gently punched his friends arm and groaned at how he'd forgotten that his fist was probably broken.
"FUCK! That hurt" he groaned as he held his fist. Eli smirked
"See Clare Adam's not the only one with guns of steel" Alli smiled and took a look a Adam's fist.
"We better get him to a doctor, that looks pretty bad." They all started to walk to the car, when Adam remembered his suitcase, he didn't want to return and run into Anya.
"Did you guys happen to see my suitcase fly out the window?"
"Oh yeah Alli threw it in the trunk of the car" Adam nodded and then they drove in silence to the hospital, Adam's phone vibrated with a text.
D: Hey man I hear you fucked up?
A: Oh shit you already heard? Where are you?
D: Yup word travels fast, it does help that the people involved happen to be family. New York
A: True, oh you're in New York? Man things have only gotten worse.
D: Yup, while Holly J is over there, my mom's been taking care of Gracie. How so?
A: You know all my life I hated that name, but you made me love it. Well I'm on my way to the hospital right now.
D: I'm glad you let me use it, wow did my sister actually beat you with a baseball bat.
A: Of course, I'd do anything for that little girl. Ha Ha no, she didn't this one is all on me.
D: Maybe I should go over there, make sure you don't hurt yourself even more.
A: I wont hurt myself anymore but it would be cool to have you here.
D: It would haven't seen you since the bachelor party
A: Oh man the bachelor party, that was fun… but that second tattoo def backfired.
D: Indeed it was. You mean the one that stands for Forever Crowned ;)
A: Yeah, Yeah that one. Why'd you let me get it.
D: I tried to make you change it, but you insisted on Fiona Coyne. I managed to have you just get initials though.
A: True, that's something. Well I'm at the hospital gotta go. C U L8R?
D: Alright get checked for stupidity while your there. Definitely see u in a few
A: Funny, alright text me I'll pick you up…. If I'm not too drunk.
D: Okay
Fiona was unpacking her clothes, putting them on all the hangers and thinking about Adam. It had been years since she saw him, all that time she'd been trying so hard to forget he even existed and then she sees him, and all those feelings come rushing back to her.
"Hey Fiona, penny for your thoughts"
"Hi HJ, just thinking, so how's Declan and Gracie"
"They're both good, we got to talking about Adam. Did you know that they never stopped talking to each other?" Fiona stopped shoving clothes into her closet and turned around, and nodded at Holly J.
"Really? I didn't know and I'm his wife."
"Well to be fair he didn't tell me I was at your house once and I got on his laptop to check my email when an IM popped up from Adam. My heart jumped because I thought that after so long he wanted to talk to me but I remembered that I was on Declan's laptop not mine. Curiosity got the best of me so I opened it to see what they talked about" Fiona sat next to Holly J on the bed.
"Okay, so what were they talking about?"
"I guess Declan had asked Adam's permission about the baby's name, because I opened the IM and it said 'I thought it over and yeah, I would love it if you named that little girl after me' at first I thought why would Declan want to name his daughter Adam, but then when the baby was born and you named her Gracie it clicked."
"Oh wow, they are really close huh, what a bromance" then they both laughed.
"So it didn't bother you that Declan and Adam kept in touch"
"Nope because I know my brother, Adam is the closest he'll ever get to a brother, besides Declan deserves a friend like Adam"
"Yeah I gathered after I talked it over with Declan."
"Did you know that the tattoo on your brothers wrist stands for Adam, Declan, Eli, and Drew?"
"What really, why would he get that?"
"Apparently Adam threw Declan a bachelor party and at the end of the night they all decided to get matching tattoos"
"Oh wow, I bet they were drunk"
"Adam was definitely drunk I mean why else would he get your…forget it" Holly J started to stand but Fiona pulled her back down.
"Why else would he get my what?" Fiona was staring at Holly J, and she knew that Fiona wasn't going to let it go.
"Okay fine, Adam got a second tattoo over his heart" Holly J hesitated and thought maybe she could just lie.
"Stop stalling, and don't you dare lie to me. I see that look on your face"
"Fine, fine, he got a tattoo of a heart with two crowns and in the middle of the heart the letters F.C." Fiona smiled as she imagined the tattoo.
"And you're positive that it means well Fiona Coyne?"
"Declan has some pretty good evidence that yes it does in fact mean that, although when asked apparently Adam says it means Forever crowned" they laughed.
Adam stared at his fist and felt his cheek burn and touched how sensitive his ribs were, then he felt a sting on his chest. Today had definitely been a painful day.
"Adam Torres, Adam Torres" a nurse called his name and they all got up to follow.
"Are all of you Adam Torres" Adam turned around to see that they were all standing around him, he was telling them with his eyes to back off but they stood their ground until he just nodded.
"It's fine they're with me" then they all went into an examination room, after a few minutes the nurse came in with a chart.
"Alright so what hurts" the nurse asked as she took out a pen.
"His fist" Alli said with concern.
"His chest" Clare said as she remembered the stapler.
"His ribs" Drew smiled.
"Oh, and his nuts" Eli said as he laughed.
"Thanks guys, but yeah they're right all of the above" they all laughed. The nurse grabbed his fist and took note of how bad it looked.
"You're going to need this in a cast" he figured as much, she asked him to take his shirt off and looked at his chest where the stapler had apparently cut him.
"That's going to need two stitches" she felt around his ribs moving them to feel anything out of place.
"Were going to need x-rays on your fist and rib cage" then she gave him a gown to wear, so that she could check his groin.
"Do you want them in here when I check your groin" as soon as they all heard that they stepped out of the room. As she felt around for any anomaly.
"Were just going to give you an ice pack for that, it might get bruised so no sexual activity for at least 3 days, unless u want to pull something."
"Trust me there won't be any sexual activity for a while" he grinned at the nurse, and she smiled back. About 5 hours later Adam walked out of surgery with a cast on his arm, an ace bandage holding together his rib cage, two stitches and an ice pack in his shorts.
"Finally god that took a long ass time" Eli said trying to rub the sleep out of his eyes, he saw that Drew was still sleeping on Alli's shoulder, so he took the opportunity to slap him.
"Ow, what? Oh hey Adam can we go now I'm starving" Adam smirked at his brother. They all stayed silent as they saw the memories of the day wash over Adam's face.
"So were to now?" Clare asked trying to change the subject.
"TO THE BAR!" Adam replied.
I felt the hospital was a little boring but had to be done.
Was I the only one who almost cried when Adam broke down.
Drunk Adam makes a returns.
