"Adam, what was that?!" I ask in fury as I slam the front door shut. I can't believe he started a fight in my class. He doesn't even go there anymore. He probably got Mike fired because of that stupid fight.
"I don't want to talk about it." He mumbles as he forms a bouquet of lilies. I groan in disbelief. "I mean, what the hell were you thinking?" He ignores my question and goes on to a new bouquet. I walk over to him and put the half made bouquet down.
"Adam." I sigh, looking into his eyes. He looks away and takes a seat at the kitchen table. I lean against a chair and wait until he answers. He bites the inside of his cheek before he says, "Emily cheated on me." Oh. He looks me in the eyes and continues, "with... Mike." He says Mike's name like he is the devil.
"Wow" is the only thing that comes out of my mouth. I don't know what to say. She seemed so nice and loyal. I didn't expect this at all. "I- I thought it was going well between you two. I mean, we spend Christmas Eve with her and her parents." Adam looks down to his feet. "Did she have a reason to cheat on you?"
"Oh for God's sake, Grace! Maybe she cheated on me to celebrate that we were gonna get married! But I could be wrong, maybe she didn't love me at all!" Adam doesn't shouts that often at me. But when he does, he is very very angry sometimes even furious.
"Maybe... you should go to one of your friend's houses tonight." Adam starts to shake, "I- um-" then he breaks and starts to tear up. One second he is shouting and the next he is crying. Is he on his period? Sorry, wrong moment for humor.
"It's okay." I tell him as I put my arm around him. "It's all gonna be okay." He turns towards me and sobs into my stomach. He was going to get married and then his fiancée cheated on him. Why are people so cruel these days? I put a handkerchief in his hand and he takes it. When he blows his nose it actually sounds pretty funny, but then I remember the situation I am in and I put on my normal face.
"I'm sorry." He says in between his sobs. "I didn't mean to yell at you." He looks up and I put my hand on the side of his face, "it's okay. You're upset and you don't know how to act it out." He nods and hugs me. "Please don't go to one of your friend's house. I really need you."
And that night we had the most bonding moment of all. We talked about sad and happy things and we both cried and laughed. We fell asleep on his bed after wallowing for a long time.

I really like mornings because I'm an early bird, but this one was is especially beautiful. The sunrise is breathtaking and there is a small layer of fog above the grass. I take my coat off the coat rack and step outside on my barefoot. I inhale the smell of fresh air and flowers and start my morning with a smile on my face.
Kyle gets the new eggs from the chickens and hand them over to me. I'm going to make a special breakfast for Adam. Well, since I'm not very good at the whole cooking thing, Kyle is going to make it for me. When he is finished I put the eggs on a tray and make a cup of tea.
"Wakey wakey!" I say, when I walk into Adam's room. He slowly opens his eyes and smiles when he sees me with his breakfast. I put the tray on his bedside and take a seat in the chair next to the bed.
"You made me breakfast?" He asks and he looks suspicious over to the eggs. "Ehm, no. Kyle did." He pfiews and sits up straight. He puts the tray on his lap and starts his meal.
"So, before we start to do work today, I wanted to do something that will clear your mind." Adam nods as he sips from his tea. Immediately after he took a sip, he coughs and says, "warm." I smile and wait until he's finished his breakfast.
"What exactly are we going to do?" I am pulling Adam outside the house towards the barn. "Count hay bales?" I chuckle and shake my head. When I stop, Adam bumps into me. He oofs and says, "sorry."
"Climb up." I tell him when I put down a ladder. He scoffs, "I beg your pardon?" I make motions with my hands that tell him to walk over to the ladder and climb up. With a confused look on his face, he starts climbing.
I climb up after him and stand on the flat rooftop. It's pretty high from up here, but the higher the better.
"Are you gonna tell me what we are doing here?" I nod and start screaming. Adam startles and looks at me in shock. I exhale in relief. "Now you do it." I tell him. "Scream? I'm not gonna scream." He says when he shakes his head.
"Oh c'mon. It's a relieve." He sighs." "C'mon, do it!" He closes his eyes and screams. When he stops, I can tell that there is some weight that has left his shoulders. So, as I expected, he screams again. "Maybe you should scream words out. No curse words please. My ears only want to hear clean words come out of your mouth." I give him a sweet smile and he nods.
"Go to hell Emily!!! I don't need you!!!" We both scream a couple more times until we're out of breath. I give Adam a hug and I can hear his heart beating fast. "Thank you." He mutters under his breath. "Thank you."
