Armor→Adam Banks[3]

T H R E E

After a long and grueling hockey practice Connie, Julie, and I piled into Julie's car and began our journey home. Connie and Julie were having a conversation, probably arguing over something, I sat in the back in silence while playing with my fingers. I didn't know what to do, do I go out with Dallas? Do I even like Dallas? I mean, he's not Adam, so maybe I should go out with him? Am I even ready to move on?

"Right, Hads?" Julie said while looking at me through the rearview mirror.

"What?" I asked quickly while snapping out of my thoughts.

"We were just checking to see if you were paying attention, which you obviously weren't. What's wrong?" Connie asked .

"Um, well, this boy named Dallas asked me out today. I don't know what to do. I feel like I should only go out with him if I really like him, which I don't know if I do yet, I mean I only met him once." I admitted.

"Well, maybe it would be a good thing. You've never dated anyone besides Adam before, this is a new start for you, possibly a new relationship." Julie suggested.

"I get that, but I still have a problem to deal with." I sighed.

"Which is?" Connie inquired.

"I still love him." I wholeheartedly admitted out loud, for the first time in awhile.

Connie and Julie shared a look, and Connie looked back at me with sympathy in her eyes, "I know you do, honey. But, do you even forgive him?"

"I want too, but I don't want to give in and say sorry first. What he did was the worst thing he could've ever done to me."

"I definitely agree, but maybe there is more to be explained." Julie pondered.

"Julie, he freaking kissed her. He kissed my worst enemy. There's nothing he can really do to explain that." I argued.

"There really is nothing that can be explained about that. But, think about the date with Dallas a little more. Get back to us tomorrow about it." Connie said and smiled as we stopped in front of my house.

"Will do, see you guys tomorrow." I said with a soft smile and got out the car.

"Bye, Hads." They said in unison and drove away.

I sighed and walked into my house.

"Charlie, I'm home!" I yelled, to get no answer back.

I groaned, realizing that I was home alone and had to make my own food, and walked into the kitchen. While I was looking through the fridge for food, I heard the doorbell go off.

"Coming!" I yelled and walked over to the door.

I lazily opened the door, assuming it was Charlie, "You know, Charlie, you really have to start remembering your key-"

"Uh, not Charlie." That oh-so familiar voice spoke.

"Oh, well Charlie's not here. So bye." I said quickly and tried to close the door, but it was stopped by his foot.

"I'm not here for Charlie." He spoke and looked at me hopefully.

"Adam, what do you want?" I asked exasperated.

"For you to not go out with that Dylan kid."

"His name is Dallas first of all, and second of all what I do anymore is none of your concern."

"Yes it is." He argued.

"No it's not."

"Hadley, I still want to be with you." He pleaded.

"Maybe you should have thought of that before you kissed her. Goodbye now." I shot and slammed the door in his face.

In annoyance, I screamed loudly and punched the wall next to me. Which, considering my lack of strength, was not a good idea. Now clutching my now bruised hand in pain I came to a decision.

I was going on that date with Dallas.
