Unexplained Connection

Chapter 10 Pt. 1

*Adam's P.O.V*

I had a miniature heart attack when I didn't see Tanner laying next to me. What's wrong with me? I have to find someway to lower my anxiety, I mean this is ridiculous! I've become dependent upon Tanner's presence. I rubbed my eyes attempting to wake up, there was some noise coming from the bathroom and I automatically assumed it was Tanner.

Today was the day he would be able to check out of the hospital, about damn time! The scent of iodine makes me nauseous. Standing up, I stretched and did all that morning routine stuff, Tanner came out of the bathroom wearing the clothes he was checked in with. I chuckled, "Shouldn't those clothes smell awful by now?" "Are you saying I stink?" He said looking a bit pained. I couldn't help but laugh, he took everything so serious. "Of course not, I'm just saying that by now those clothes should smell kinda funky, you don't smell bad." I said walking over to him. "How about your clothes? You're still wearing the scrubs they gave you." He asked looking around the room. "You know you're very awkward." I said observing him. He looked puzzled at me, "It seems like everytime I slowly walk towards you, you tense up and blush and of course get all fidgety." I slowly walked towards him, eyeing him. He started backing up, "Now you're backing away, eventually you'll be cornered, literally, " as I said that he backed into a wall his face was flushed. I chuckled, "Are you intimidated by me, Tanner Martinez?" I whispered seductively. I quickly pecked his lips and he seemed to be like a statue. I began laughing uncontrollably at how cute he was. Looks like the old Adam is back. He hit my arm playfully, "Don't do that ever again." He said. "No promises, I know you liked it." I contained my laughter as his face proved my point. I interlocked our hands and I took him out of the room, time to check out of this awful place.

After checking out, which was surprisingly quite easy, they gave me my clothes back which were washed ridding them of any foul aromas and after that I took Tanner home. As soon as he stepped in, his parents and Jason attacked him with hugs, I separated myself from them and went to my new room, I was taken back by how big it was. Almost twice as big as my old one, this room actually had walls, my very own bathroom, a ginormous bed with soft pillows and aqua colored sheets and blankets, how did they know my favorite color was aqua? There was a balcony and it was just so amazing . I was taken back by their backyard, Tanner never told me that they were into gardening, lush green grass, fruit bearing trees that made the air smell fruity and sweet, multicolored flowers, roses, vines, and a tall tree in the middle.

There was a small feeling that I was being watched, but I quickly put it to rest. I put my clothes with my other garments, most of my clothes were neatly folded in the mahogany drawers, the rest were hanging in the closet. I haven't noticed before but I had such a low amount of clothes. I also didn't have a lot of belongings just my phone, my school stuff, and clothes. Just sitting there, in the middle of this new room I was given, made me feel kind of odd, they're all downstairs being a family and doing whatever families do, I've never known how families do that whole bonding thing. I sat on my bed and then continued to lay down.

My dad has always been abusive, that made my mom leave and with some kind of sabotage he was able to win full custody of me. I've never met my mother nor have I even seen a mere photograph of her. I've never been allowed to have friends, date, or even leave the house. Over the years my dad began drinking and eventually became an alcoholic, due to him being drunk all the time he began hitting me, and back then I was a defenseless, scrawny kid. It wasn't until I took charge in my life and began getting fit in order to defend myself, the beatings became less frequent until finally it was rare. It wasn't until these people came along that I've been taking care of myself and it's thrown my whole world upside down and in all other directions.

With a small knock on the door someone stepped inside, I sat up expecting it to be Tanner but instead it was Jason.

"What can I do for you Jason?" I said motioning him to sit down next to me. "Well first of all I'd like to apologize for criminalizing you for getting Tanner, um, pregnant; I was just trying to put everything together and, well, ugh, I just wanted to blame someone. Again, Adam, I'm sorry and I hope you can forgive me for acting foolishly." He said sitting down close to me, closer than expected. I patted his back and said, "Yes Jason I forgive you, you did what you did to protect your brother and I respect that, and I promise to never come in between you two."

His eyes shined with relief, I opened my arms and motioned him in for a hug. We hugged and when we pulled away I saw something different in his eyes and before I knew it Jason's lips were on mine, and to my horror, I was kissing back. In no time at all we were on the bed kissing furiously and let's just say clothes were flying everywhere.

*Tanner's P.O.V*

Walking back into my house holding Adam's hand was one of the scariest things I've ever done. I've never dated anyone before but Adam just makes me feel like myself, I'm comfortable around him. When I walked in there was screaming, pushing, and lots of hugging going on. I felt Adam's hand slip away from mine as I was carried, unwillingly, to the living room. Out of the corner of my eye I saw him going up the stairs to his room.

When I sat down my mom was the first to speak, "Now let's get serious, now that you're, I never thought I'd say this, now that you're pregnant there's a few more rules you have to oblige to, firstly, you are only allowed to go to and from school, any other time you have to be here with Jason, and if course Adam, secondly you tell no one and thirdly once you start getting the belly you will be taken out of school well if you even get fatter I mean I don't know how this works." I could tell she was a bit unsure about this situation but I am too so who's to blame her. Jason poked my stomach and said, "Don't worry mom, it's going to take a lot of food to get rid of his six pack." He laughed and stood up, "Well I have to go talk to Adam so you guys keep talking." He straightened his shirt and walked out.

"Tanner I've been contemplating this over and over again and the only logical explanation is well that you're the one who's cursed." My dad said leaning forward. My mom cringed at the word, but she didn't say anything. "Well then, what's wrong with that? I mean at least I'm not going to die like you feared." I argued. There was some muffled noises coming from upstairs which I guessed was Adam and Jason talking, it sounded like how they talked, slow and steady but I could've sworn I heard something like a moan. Must be all that medicine they have you, it's making you hear things. And I could tell it was talking because it was frequent, it didn't stop.

My dad eyed me, "Just try to be careful, I don't want anything bad to happen to you. " " I will dad don't worry. " I said smiling. I got up and made my way upstairs, I wanted to know what Jason and Adam are talking about.

When I got to Adam's room door I heard creaking and panting, puzzled, I opened the door and right in front of me Adam and Jason were having sex. I slammed the door and ran to my room locking the door behind me. I slid down and began crying uncontrollably, I banged my head against the door, I could feel my heart being ripping apart.Adam pounded on my door and told me to open up. I sat there still crying as Adam yelled and screamed my name in vain.

*A/N* MUAHAHA I'M EVIL!! Didn't see that coming did you now? Sorry for the late update and short chapter, I fell victim to writers block and I couldn't figure out how to continue, the same with my other story. I promise to keep updating and please don't kill me for adding this plot twist! Remember to vote/comment loves!
