Adam Armstrong, chapter 6
I looked at him angrily; I took off my badge and threw it to the ground. It smashed to pieces.
"Fuck this shit; I've been skating longer than I have been a CSI. Happy now?" I roared.
"Very happy," he said in a sly voice. I rang the airline and managed to get a flight home that night. I said my good bys and left. I told my parents the whole story when I got home.
"Forget, about him Adam, he's not worth it. I think you made the right decision. You love skating more," Dad said. I went up to my room. I gazed at my trophies. It was my dream to become a pro skateboarder. I was going to get that chance in December. I had no sponsors but it was worth a shot. I had loads of designs ready for my first deck. After looking at my trophies for some time I fell asleep.
"Adam?" Dad said as he shook me. "Adam?" he said again as he poked my stomach. "Adam?" This time he tickled my ribs. I let out a small giggle. I was very ticklish!
"Wake up Adam!" He tickled my ribs again; I let out a longer giggle this time. I could hear him laugh.
"I won't tell you again!" I kept my eyes closed.
"Alright you asked for it!" He pulled up my t-shirt and started blowing raspberries on my stomach. I was giggling like mad and my legs were kicking in the air. He stopped and I opened my eyes.
"What?" I asked.
"Goodnight!" He kissed my forehead, turned out my light and left. He woke me up for that? ASSHOLE!!
August 29th
Dad had left for the tour and I got my Hogwarts letter. I had my things packed. I was meeting up with Hermione, Ron and Draco in Diagon Alley. Then we were going to the train station.
"Hey guys!" I said as I walked into The Leaky Cauldron.
"Hey!" they said.
"Cornelius Fudge bought all our school books so; we don't have to go shopping," Hermione said. Arthur, Ron's dad walked over to me.
"Could I speak with you for a moment?" he asked.
"Sure," I said.
"Now, I've already told the other three and now I have to tell you."
"What is it?"
"Sirius Black has escaped from Azkaban prison to come after the four of you."
"Great!" I said sarcastically.
"Promise me you will not go looking for him?"
"Mr. Weasly, why would I go after someone who wants to kill me?" We left after that. We got on the train and started talking about Sirius Black.
"Why would he want to come after us?" Draco asked.
"I don't know," Hermione answered. A few hours afterwards we arrived at Hogwarts. It felt great to be back. When the feast was over, we all went to our dormitory's. I climbed into bed and fell asleep.
December 15th
Mom and dad decided to pull me out of school earlier because dad missed me so much. Two weeks and I might become a pro skateboarder. So I decided to go down to the skate park and practice.
"Hello Adam," somebody said. I turned around to see nobody else but Sirius Black.
"Please don't hurt me?" I said.
"I was never going to hurt you or your friends."
"Then what do you want?"
"It's about time you knew the truth. You were never kidnapped, you're parents put you up for adoption." I was shocked. Was he telling the truth? He walked away from me then. I ran home hoping it wasn't true.
"Mom, dad?" I said as I came in the door.
"What honey?" Mom said as the two of them came out of the kitchen. I was shaking. How could I ask them?
"Did ye put me and Harry up for adoption when we were born?" They both looked at me uneasily.
"I think you better sit down," Dad said. I did as I was told.
"It's true," my mother replied.
"What? So I was never kidnapped? Why?" At this point I was almost crying.
"Adam, you don't understand," my mother started. "In 1990 me and your dad broke up for a while. I was going with somebody else. Within two weeks of being with this person I found out I was pregnant with the two of you. This person was really angry and threatened to kill the both of you when ye were born. I did it for you and Harry's protection. We were told that he had been missing since you were four. We have been trying to find ye ever since."
"So Billie's not my dad?"
"Yes he is."
"How do you know?"
"We had a DNA test done when you were born. But this person thinks you're his son."
"Who is this person?"
"His name is David."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"We were going to tell you as soon as we got to Minnesota."
"Minnesota?"
"Ya, were all going there until the day before your competition, we are leaving tonight, it supposed to be a surprise."
"Is David going to be there?"
"Yes." I ran upstairs and cried. I then decided to pack some stuff. I accidentally knocked over my pencil case. I got everything and put it back inside of it. Except, for the compass. I rolled up the sleeve of my jumper and slit my forearm. I was in pain. I needed help, I was on the edge of having a nervous breakdown.
***
We arrived at our house in Minnesota. Dad showed me where my room was. Damn it was cold. I went outside of my room and there I saw coming in the door was all of mom's relatives and David. He kept on looking at me. He started to walk towards me. I went back in my room. But he caught my arm and I turned around. We started walking really fast.
"Hey can I talk to you?" he asked.
"Have you stopped talking to me yet?" I said.
"I only want to talk!!"
"Well I don't, so fuck off."
"Look your mom is probably after telling you that I was going to kill you and Harry, but its bullshit! That crazy bitch will make up anything."
"That happens to be my mother you are talking about!"
"Don't you hate her for not telling you sooner?"
"No, now fuck off from around me!"
"Adam I am your father."
"HAHA!" I started bursting my hole laughing. "Fuck off from around me before I castrate you," I said.
"Adam it's not a joke."
"Look, I had a DNA test done to see if Billie Joe is my father and he is. So walk away before I make you walk away!"
"Don't talk to me like that young man."
"I'll do whatever I want prick!"
"DON'T CALL ME A PRICK!!"
"Listen David, you don't scare me and not many things do so...Get the fuck out of my face."
"I'm going to tell Billie what you called me."
"Wow I'm frightened, not really."
"I am going to get you in big trouble boy."
"Oh my god, you are so slow you should be put down!"
"You are in so much trouble."
"If you don't leave me alone I'll slit your throat, rip your guts out and pin them to your front door!"
"No you wouldn't!"
"Try me?"
"Fuck this shit; I've been skating longer than I have been a CSI. Happy now?" I roared.
"Very happy," he said in a sly voice. I rang the airline and managed to get a flight home that night. I said my good bys and left. I told my parents the whole story when I got home.
