The Technicolor Phase

Part 9-Change??

[Anna's POV]

The next few months flew by. It was now December. I didn't go to collage because, well it was to much money and since I'm living with the Young's they couldn't afford it. Adam is getting famous, he hasn't been around the house as much. We've been getting into fights, which isn't good. Every time I look at Adam I feel like something's have changed about him, like his attitude, he spends all his time in his basement, we rarely speak to each other, I mean yeah since I'm living with them I see him, but he kinda just passes me by like I'm invisible.. I talked to Adam's mom about it and she said I should talk to Adam when he is, oh his shall I put this,uh calmed down a little bit from the overwhelming sensation that he has fans. The way I feel about it, it's like you fancy someone and they don't know you exist. (A/N:For you whovians yes I just used a quote from Doctor Who anyway back to the story).

I did a lot of praying and learning the scripture. Over the past few months I asked God continually to guide me to show Adam that Jesus loves him too. A white blanket of snow had covered the ground, I saw Adam shoveling snow off the side walk. I got off the couch and put on a long sleeve shirt, pants, snow boots, a heavy jacket and a winter hat and gloves. I went out the door, the snow crunched under my feet, I went into the middle of the yard and picked up a handful of snow and shaped in into a deformed ball. I threw it at Adam, it nailed him in the arm. He looked up from what he was going. He threw the shovel on the ground and charged after me with a smile on his face. We were running around the yard for a few minutes, Adam threw snowballs at me, one nailed me in the back and I fell face first in the snow. Adam came over to me and rolled me over, I looked into his warm chocolate eyes, a grin was slowly spreading across his face, then he burst out laughing. When Adam laughed it sent shivers down my spine, I hadn't heard him laugh in about two months or so. He got up and helped me get to my feet then we went inside for hot chocolate. Adam decided to race me inside, he won. We took off our jackets and boots and walked over to the table.

Adam's Mom came and set two steaming hot cups of Hot chocolate. There was marshmallows. Adam took a huge gulp of his and spit it out faster then he drank it. I laughed a little. He got up and got a ice cube out of the freezer and sucked on it. I blew on mine then after It was cool enough so it wouldn't burn my mouth I took a small sip. After we finished our hot chocolate I asked Adam if he wanted to go on a walk with me. He told me he couldn't because he was working on music. I was crestfallen, slowly I turned and went to get my jacket, gloves and hat. When I had them on I looked back at Adam, he was having a small argument with his Mom. I sighed and walked out the door.

I walked a few miles with the snow falling around me, I realized I was crying. I quickly wiped it away,my stomach growled at me. My guess it was lunch time. I turned around and walked back.

When the house came into earshot I heard a loud crash from inside. I ran. I forgot the fact that I was hungry. I burst through the door to find Adam with a large gash in his side. Blood was everywhere. He was laying on the floor. I knelt down near him. He grabbed my hand. I started crying, Adam's mom called the ambulance. When the ambulance people came and took him away they asked what happened. I looked to Mrs.Young for answers, she said she didn't know. I told them I was walking. Then I remembered something.

"Before i left to go on a walk i looked back and saw Adam fighting with his mom, but there was something else," I racked my brain to remember. I gasped, "Adam was holding a piece of broken glass behind his back." I told the ambulance person

"I see. So how did you hear a crash?" The person asked

I looked behind me, in the puddle of blood there was the piece of glass shattered into a million little pieces. Oh Adam why would you do this to yourself. I thought. Me and Mrs.young went in the car and followed the ambulance to the hospital.

When we went in the hospital a million question flooded my brain at once. The one question that i mostly thought about was:

Why did Adam do it in the first place?

I sighed and followed Adam's mom to the waiting room. Then a doctor came in, he told us that Adam would have to go into emergency surgery. Adam's mom started to panic. Th doctor quickly explained that no internal organs were damaged it's just that there is a large gash we have to put stitches in. Adam's mom started to cry. To be honest, I was getting sick and tired of visiting hospitals. All i wanted to do was to go home. I hugged Mrs.young and asked her if we could go home. She agreed that we can and it would be better. I smiled a little.

We walked in the front door. Mr.young was standing near the puddle of blood. we forgot to clean it up! I quickly explained what happened. He just stood there. He sighed. Then he came over to me and whispered something in my ear. I couldn't believe it ! After all this time Adam has been taking medications for his Insomnia. I went to his room. On his nightstand there was a bottle. It had these huge pills. I looked for side affects, I found it and read it. I nearly dropped the bottle. One of the side affects was:

Warning:Side affects May include possible thought of harming yourself. Or if living with someone may cause you to forget their there.

Well DUH!! That makes total sense now! But still Adam, God made you special in your own way. Your body is a temple, don't ruin it! I thought. I took the bottle and went out of his room. I showed it to Mr and Mrs.Young. They both ran out of the house and rushed to the hospital. I stayed home because I couldn't bring myself to even look at the hospital. It was getting late so I went to bed, or tried.

I couldn't fall asleep. I got out of bed and took my Bible to the desk in the room. I turned on the small desk lamp and read a few passages. I prayed, that Adam would be okay and stop taking the pills. I sighed and went back to bed.

The next day

I woke up with the sun shining on my face. I got out of my warm comfy bed and walked out to the kitchen. Adam's parents weren't back yet. I wonder if Adam is going better. I got myself breakfast, i ate some hash browns. Then I decided to finish shoveling snow off the sidewalk that Adam was supposed to do yesterday. I got dressed and went out. i found the shovel buried under the snow. I shoveled some off. 

After a few hours I was finished. i saw Adam's parents drive in the driveway. They got out. I saw Adam get out of the back. I ran towards him and gave him a bear hug. He pushed me off of him. I looked at his parents. They told me that he was on steroids and needed a day or two to as Mrs.young put it, be himself again. I helped Adam  inside and to his room. He didn't talk the whole time  I helped him. Adam laid down on his bed. I walked near the door.

"Thanks Anna" he told me

That was the first time he talked to me in three months. 

"your welcome Adam, i hope you get better soon" I told him

He smiled and closed his eyes and went to sleep. i went out and closed the door behind me. I walked to the living room and sat down on the couch. i was happy that Adam is home, but even more that he talked to me.
