I have always felt like Connie's parent never really loved her so this is what this chapter is about. I have also always liked Connie more than Julie as well. I don't think they would have been "best friends" just because they didn't hang out with any other girls. This chapter is really long. WARNING.

Connie's POV

I couldn't go to our dorm because I couldn't deal with Julie. I mean she really hurt Adam with whatever she did. So I went to the lobby where I found Averman, Goldberg, Charlie, Guy, Portman and Fulton. I have to admit I was mad because he had NO reason to blow up in my face. I didn't want to deal with the rest of ducks right now either. I mean I love the Ducks, but I need space to cool down and not freak on other people because of something that happened between me and Adam. I wasn't only mad about Adam. I got a call this morning from my mom and… I need to stop thinking about this! She doesn't love you Connie get over it.

"Hey Connie…Over here" Portman yelled and they all looked over at me. I kept walking and I didn't turn back. I didn't move my head to look back. I walked right outside the door. I knew they would follow me so I started running and pretty soon tears were falling down my face.

"Connie!" I heard a voice yell. It was Guy's and pretty soon I heard everyone else screaming my name. ALL the ducks. Even Adam and Julie. I knew I couldn't out run them so I went into an alley and hid behind a dumpster.

"Where'd she go?" I heard Goldberg ask

"What happened" Guy asked

"I think I might know" Adam said quietly

"What did you do I swear if you hurt her I'll kill you!" Guy yelled

"I didn't mean to. I was mad at Julie and I yelled at her for no reason" Adam said

"Connie wouldn't get so upset just for that" Guy said calmly "I know her and I KNOW we're going to find her NOW" Guy yelled

I knew there was a reason I was in love with him.

I heard them walk away so I stuck my head out and they were gone. I stood up and started walking. I walked to a park and sat down on a bench. It was cold I mean it was the end of October. The dance was tomorrow and well I am in a bad situation with my mom. My dad died when I was 7. My mom got remarried and my step dad beat me. That's why I started playing hockey. To hide the bruises. I also got tuff, independent and I felt better about myself. That was until this morning.

Flashback

"Hi Mom" I said cheery

"Why are you so happy?" She said in a grumpy voice

"Because the dance is coming up and I'm going with my soul mate" I said cheery again

"What are you talking about know one loves you! You're an ugly girl who sucks at everything. KNOWONE loves you Connie. Not me not Tom and not your dad!" My mom said yelling. Tears were rolling down my cheek so I hung up the phone.

I was crying thinking about it. The words were haunting me.

"Connie!" I heard

Oh great they found me. I didn't turn my head. They all gathered around me.

"Con what happened?" Guy asked worried

"Yeah we were really worried about you" Fulton added

"Cons I am SO sorry about earlier!" Adam said as Guy sat next to me on one side of the bench and Charlie sat on the other side so I was in the middle.

"It's personal" I said quietly staring straight ahead.

"Connie I- are you okay?" Guy asked

"No. I'll never be okay, because well know one loves me" I said starting to cry. They all looked at me like I was crazy.

"Connie I am so in love with you because you're amazing your pretty-"Guy started as he grabbed my hands

"Funny" Charlie added

"Smart" Luis said

"Nice" Russ said

"Cool" Averman added

"Tuff" Portman said

"You're a great hockey player" Charlie said

"You can keep secrets" Julie said as the rest of the team smiled

"You give great advice" Fulton said

"Your really perty" Dwayne said blushing

"We love you because you're our little sister" Goldberg said giving me nugdy which made the team laugh.

"Thanks guys. That really meant a lot to me" I said. Then we all hugged.

"Why don't we all head to my dorm and have some fun. It is Friday." Ken suggested

"I'd like that" I said smiling. I got up and hooked arms with Portman and Guy

"Let's go…babe" Dean said which made me laugh
