Eden Hall love story~ Adam Banks

Fighting

I got home after practice and immediately walked upstairs. It was already 3pm. I changed into normal clothes. Just a sweater with sweatpants.

The whole afternoon I played games and watched movies with grandpa. We watched 3 Harry Potter movies.

I walked upstairs to the bathroom and changed into my pjs. I wore one of Adam's hoodies I stole. While brushing my teeth I looked in the mirror. I don't know what happened but I looked really skinny. I've always had a curves but they were gone. I didn't think about it to much and spit out my toothpaste.

I walked to my room and jumped.

"What the hell Adam! What are you doing here?" I looked at the boy who was sitting on my bed. He was crying.

"I'm sorry but can I sleep here tonight? My parents are fighting. It's really bad." He sobbed.

I sat down next to him and hugged him. "Of course you can stay here. Stay as long as you want."

He stared at me. Our heads moved closer to each other. Our lips filled the space between us.

He pulled away. "Still wearing my hoodie huh?" He asked.

I laughed. "Yeah." I stood up. "Make yourself comfortable. Want something to drink?"

"Yeah just a glass of water." He said. He still had teary eyes. I felt so bad for him.

I grabbed 2 glasses of water.

"Grandpa, is it okay if Adam stays over? His parents are fighting. I feel really bad for him." I said.

"Of course it's okay Ki!" He answered.

I smiled and ran upstairs where Adam laid on the couch in my room.

"You can sleep in the bed if you want?" I sat down on my bed.

He got up and also sat down. "Thanks."

I gave him the glass of water.

"So you want to watch something or do you want to sleep?" I asked.

"Let's watch Teen Wolf." He said.

I smiled and turned on the tv.

In the middel of the night Adam sat up, sweating and breathing heavy.

"What's wrong?" I also sat up, wrapping my arms around his neck.

He turned and dug his head in my shoulder. He started crying.

"It's okay Adam, I'm here. Nothing can happen when I'm with you okay?" I comforted him. I leaned back into the mattress with Adam in my arms. He fell asleep again.

The next morning I had a game but grandpa called me off because I didn't feel really good and I barely slept. Coach said it was okay but I still felt bad. First Charlie and Fulton quit the team and now I didn't play.

Adam left to watch the game but I stayed home with grandpa. Charlie also came over. We listened to the game.

We sat on the couch. Well, I laid with my head on Charlie's lap.

"Your mother has been calling. She's been looking for you." Hans said to Charlie.

"I'm right here." He said, throwing his hands in the air.

The ducks game was over. 4-1. They lost.

"Sounds like they the team needs you guys huh." Hans said.

"They don't need us. What they need is a new coach." Charlie said annoyed.

Hans looked at him. "You're not a little boy anymore Charlie. Please stop acting this way."

"I just don't know what this guy wants from me." Charlie eyes locked with mine.

"He won't just let you skate by. He wants it because he knows that it is there inside of you, like Gordon did. He needs you to lead." Hans said.

"How can he expect me to lead when he takes away my C? I was the captain Hans." Charlie stared down.

"It's only a letter Charlie." Hans opened a box with C's in it. "Here, I have hundreds of them."

Charlie picked them up. "These are not the same. Don't make fun of me Hans."

"He took away the C, Charlie, not what was under it." I said.

"Go, be with your friends Charlie. You are the heart of the team. Don't let it slip away." Hans leaned forward.

Charlie sighed and stood up. "They're the ones that are slipping away from me."

Hans breathed heavily. "Are you okay Hans?" Charlie asked. Hans smiled. "I'm okay!"

Charlie sighed. "I gotta walk. I'll see you."

"Bye Char." I turned to look at him.

"Goodbye Charlie." Hans said.
