Chapter Thirty Three

Start from the beginning
                                    

I know the whole truth..,what the hell did he mean?
Adam thought.

Adam: what are you talking about?,
Charlie: I called you here, because I wanted to talk to you about you. No lying, Adam, got that?

Adam just nodded. He had no idea what the hell Charlie was talking about, he just wished Charlie would be more specific. But he had to be patient, Charlie never gets to the point fast, never.

Adam sighed.

Charlie: now let's start over...would you ever keep a secret from me?
Adam: Charlie-
Charlie: would you?

Adam just sat there, his heart racing.

Adam: um...well, there's a lot you don't know. That's all.
Charlie: fair enough. Listen, Banks-
Adam: I'm sorry, I really want to leave, please just- just tell me what's going on? Please.

Charlie: (sigh) Adam, you know I would never judge you, you know I'd never keep secrets from you. Everything about me, you know. I tell you everything, Adam. I just- I can't believe you'd keep a huge secret from me. I can't believe you don't trust me.

Adam: what secret, what're you saying?
Charlie: Adam, you should've told me. You should've. I wouldn't have judged you, I swear.
Adam: Charlie.
Charlie: you should've told me?
Adam: (angry) told you what?!
Charlie: that you're Gay.

Adam was beyond shocked. He was afraid that would come out of Charlie's mouth. He knew he was gonna say it, he knew. Adam sat there, eyes wide open, mouth dropped as well. The lump in his throat grew bigger, he choked.

His heart raced faster, he was nervous. He didn't know what to say, he didn't know how to react. He didn't know what to do. He was broken, he knew.

The one person be never wanted to find out, found out. And he's sitting right there, waiting for a reply.

Adam gulped. The one thing that went through his mind
How the hell, in this damn world, did he find out?...

Charlie: Adam. Say something, Adam.
Adam had no words, he had no words.
Charlie: say anything...

He closed his eyes.
Charlie knew he shouldn't have called Adam, he should not have told him.

Adam: h-how?
Charlie: what?
Adam: h-h-how, did you--
Charlie: how did I what?
Adam: who- who, t-told you?
Charlie: nobody told me-
Adam: (angry) who told you?!
Charlie: nobody told me, I found out myself.
Adam: how?!
Charlie: Adam, I want you to know that I except you, I'll never judge you, ever. I never will and neither will the ducks, Adam you should know that by now.

Adam: answer my question.
Charlie: you're stupid book. The brown one...I read it.

Adam opened his eyes, Charlie was now terrified. He saw the anger in his eyes.
Charlie slightly moved back in his seat.
He was frozen.

Adam: what?

Silence...

Adam: you- you went through my stuff?
Charlie: Adam, calm down.
Adam: you went to my house?! When?! When Charlie? (Angry) I can't believe you'd do something like that, how could you?! How could you do this to me? I can't believe you'd be so selfish and nosy that you'd meddle into my life. It was my room, my house! Why Charlie, how could you!

Charlie was surprised to see the tears running down his cheeks.
Adams' cheeks turned red, water dripped onto the floor. His eyes were filled with liquid.

Charlie: Adam...I'm so sorry.

Adam: how could you? Why?... Charlie, why would you do that? Does no one keep their noses to theirselves.

Adam buried his face in his hands, his hair fell onto his eyes, covering them.
Charlie felt terrible.
He shouldn't have done it.

Charlie: Adam. I would never judge you, please know that. Okay? I would never, never. I thought you knew that. You should know that, you really should.

Adam: (wiping away tears) what're you saying?
Charlie: I'm saying that I'm your friend, and friends don't stab each other in the back.
Adam: they stab each other in the front, really.

Charlie laughed, that just made Adam laugh too.
Charlie: there you go, man I missed that smile of yours.
Adam: I'm mad at you, Conway.
Charlie: and you have every right to be. I shouldn't have meddled in your life, it was your private thoughts, I shouldn't have, I don't know why I did, I just did.

Adam: so...you're okay with it?
Charlie: absolutely.
Adam: you can't tell anyone, Charlie. Okay? You can't.
Charlie: Adam-
Adam: promise me you won't tell anyone, please promise me.
Charlie: Adam, no. No, you can't keep your feelings locked in, you can't ...you just can't. Okay? Please understand that. Luis warned me this would happen, he told me you might never tell anyone.
Adam: Luis? He knew?
Charlie: knew what?
Adam: that you knew about me?
Charlie: yeah, well...I sorta told him a few days ago.

Adam cursed under his breathe,
he was very upset Luis didn't tell him that Charlie knew.

Charlie: you shouldn't get mad at him, he didn't wanna freak you out.
Adam: freak me out?

Charlie nodded.
Charlie:  Adam, you have to confess one way or another. It doesn't have to be today, it could be any day, but soon. Soon. Because I've seen people who keep their feelings locked in too long, the result isn't pretty.

Charlie: ...believe me. I've seen it.

Adam was just so relieved. He got it all off his chest. Some of it, off his chest. But he was just glad Charlie understood, he was glad he wasn't judgmental. But most of all, he was thankful to God that Charlie doesn't know about his crush on him.

Which was written in the book, but the pages were torn out,
Thank you, God... Adam thought.

Charlie told Adam that if he ever needed to talk, he was gonna be there.
Adam felt so much better now. He really did.
Now all that's left is the rest of them, he wasn't ready yet.

The thing is,
he wasn't sure if he was ever gonna be ready.

But Adam knew, that one day, someday, he would have to confess... Because Charlie was right,

He couldn't keep his feelings locked in forever ;
He'd explode.

How is it so far?
I know the chapter was terrible, but I'm working on it...

Anyways,
CHARLIE KNOWS...HE TOLD ADAM, AAAHHH!
But I think he took it pretty well, right?
