Please blame college for my lack of update. :( But since you waited so patiently, I have TWO chapters tonight. :)

After Adam hung up with Eli, he started walking towards the alley by the Dot. That's where Fitz and his goons usually hung out. As he walked, tears were running down his face, and his heart was pounding. His fists were clamped so tight that they were turning white. Never in Adam'as life had he felt so disgusted and ashamed of himself. He hated Amelia. He hated Fitz. He hated himself. Would he ever be understood? Accepted?

"No." he thought aloud to himself.

Adam finally arrived at the Dot and began looking around for Fitz. It wasn't long until he heard that sickening tone of voice.

"Well look who we have here." Fitz said nearing Adam.

"I need a favor." Adam said.

"What the hell makes you think I'd do anything for you freak?" Fitz retorted.

"I think you'll like this." Adam said, no tone in his voice, no expression on his face. " I want you beat me until I'm unconscious."

Amelia POV

I...what..a girl...transgendered...a boy?

I just couldn't believe what Adam just told me. I mean, I knew what being transgendered meant, but it was so mind boggling...to be trapped in the wrong body. I never thought I'd meet someone in that situation, let alone have feelings for someone like that. Strong feelings. I guess what was freaking me out more was the fact that despite his lies, despite him not technically being a boy...all I felt like doing was kissing him. I still really liked Adam.

"Oh God." I said aloud.

I just walked away from him. I left him there. How could I do that? He hates me. I'm sure of it.

"I have to find him."

As Amelia was turning around, she heard her phone ring. It was...Eli?

"Hello?" Amelia answered.

"Amelia! You have to help me find Adam! I think he went to fight Fitz!"

"Oh my God." Amelia's heart stopped. "The Dot. Eli that's where they should be. Hurry!"

Amelia hung up and presses the gas. She had to find Adam.

"What the hell?" Fitz said to Adam. "Are you insane dude?"

"No. You want me dead Fitz, just go ahead and fucking do it!" Adam shouted as he shoved Fitz.

"Back off!" Fitz yelled back pushing Adam and knocking him down. "Just stay the fuck away from me freak." he said as he walked away shaking his head. Just then Adam heard a car door slam, then another following it.

"Adam!" Amelia and Eli shouted simultaneously.

Both Amelia and Eli ran to Adam as soon as they saw he was on the ground.

"Oh my gosh, are you okay?" Amelia said exasperated. She was crying.

"Dude you're insane!" Eli shouted." What were you even thinking? You're lucky Fitz didn't destroy you!"

"I'm fine." Adam said getting up. "Just leave me alone." he said as he started walking away from both of them.

"I think I cant take it from here..." Amelia said looking at Eli.

"Alright." Eli said nodding his head. "Thanks for coming." He said patting her shoulder, the retreating to his car.

"Adam! Adam wait!" Amelia shouted after him. She could hardly keep up. "Would you please just stop?" Amelia shouted again. Finally, Adam stopped in his tracks.

"What do you want Amelia?" He said quietly.

"I want you to come over." She said hesitantly.

"Why?" Adam said. Amelia could hear the hurt and anger in his voice.

"Just...please." Amelia softly pleaded.

"Okay. Whatever." Adam said. They headed towards the car.
