# Episode 17| Bam! Marcus...Marcus!?

Douglas is at Mission Command with several pieces on top of the central cyber desk.

Harper enters via HyperLift "So, what did you want to talk to me about?" Harper asks "I have a project, it could be very useful in missions and in security if done correctly" Douglas says.

"That's great, what is it?" Harper says "Uh... Before I tell you, I need you to keep an open mind" Douglas says "I have an open mind!" Harper says.

"Crazy and an open mind are two different things girl" Douglas says "I feel like both can apply here" Harper says.

"Maybe, I called you here because I know that if you help me, everything will be under control... and that if it isn't, it won't be my fault alone" Douglas says.

"What is itDouglas?" Harper asks "I need you to help me rebuild Marcus" Douglas says, Harper tilts his head and a few seconds later he starts laughing.

"Ah, good joke! It didn't sound stupid at all" Harper laughs "I'm serious!" Douglas says "Douglas, haven't we already had this conversation?" Harper says "not with this project!" Douglas shows the project.

Harper looks at him "It's not Marcus, I mean, not the same project, I redid everything from scratch, it's another Android completely independent of the original Marcus with completely new programming!" Douglas says.

"If it's another Android, why are you going to call him Marcus then?" Harper says "Because his facial structure will be the same... I'm not very creative in this part, but this is Marcus 2.0" Douglas smiles.

"Oh I don't know Douglas" Harper says "come on Harper!" Douglas says.

"He won't have anything like the old Marcus, and if you help me program him with a limited hardrive we can have full control of him and make him just a security assistant android" Douglas says, Harper sighs.

"what do we need an Android for?" Harper asks "I have been working to make it more resistant and as indestructible as possible, being programmed to protect you from greater threats,like a bodyguard" Douglas says.

"We don't need that" Harper says "are you sure?" Douglas points to her arm, Harper's arm has recovered from the burns caused by Sebastian's powers, but there are still light scars, which is impressive given the fact that the burn was of a high degree, but she constantly says that her arm doesn't feel like it used to.

"Yes, I'm sure!" Harper says, crossing his arms "Okay, but what about me, what about Donny and anyone who doesn't have bionics or super powers related to Elite Force operations?" Douglas says, Harper sighs.

"But you can't tell the rest of the team" Douglas says "but you said he won't have any relation to the old Marcus!?" Harper says.

"and he doesn't but it will be much more complicated to explain this to them than explain to you, the scars that Marcus left on them are much more complex, I want to show them the final product only so they will understand" Douglas says, Harper thinks.

"So will you be my partner in this project?...daughter?" Douglas says "Oh don't push it" Harper says "okay my bad" Douglas says.

"so?" Douglas asks, Harper rolls her eyes "Ok... let's rebuild him, where are his eyebrows?" Harper says going to the cyber desk.

......................................................................

Chase and Adam are at the coffee table on the terrace.

Adam suddenly laughs at something and Chase looks at him confused "What does that mean?" Chase asks "Oh nothing, I just remembered something Grace said to me, it was really funny but you wouldn't understand" Adam says.

"I wouldn't understand?....well when it comes to Grace I actually don't understand a lot of what she says" Chase says "But I understand, it's just that she doesn't speak the language that boring people can understand" Adam smiles, Chase glares at him.

"But airheads understand apparently" Chase says "she's fun and you're boring that's the point!" Adam says, Chase smiles.

"Wait, I just made fun of you, you shouldn't be smiling! It's ruining the fun of it" Adam says "My bad" Chase goes back to reading the book.

"why did you make that face?" Adam asks "I'm just waiting for the moment when you'll realize" Chase says "realize what?" Adam aks.

"It's okay Adam, sometimes you're the last one to know, that's how it happened to me, someone makes you realize you deny it but then you give in to the feeling because it's stronger than you..." Chase shrugs "Chase what are you talking about?" Adam asks, Chase sighs.

"It's about Grace..." Chase gives Adam the hint "What about Grace?" Adam asks, Chase smirks.

"what? Is it about her being funny? What about her being kind?...Is it about her beauty? her radiant smile? About her hair that smells like roses?...It's about the dimples in her cheek, and about how I....Oh my god I have a crush on her!" Adam notices "There it is" Chase smiles.

"How did I not notice this before?" Adam says "It's more common than it seems" Chase says remembering when Bree made him notice that he had a crush on Harper

"Wow I really like her" Adam says realizing "That explains the dreams I had about her" Adam says "what kind of dream?" Chase aks.

Adam's eyes widen "Uh Definitely the kind of dream I never had about Harper" Adam says nervously appearing to be a lie, Chase glares at him irritated.

"of course I like Grace, she's perfect, she's the only one who really understands me, we're like soulmates!" Adam says, Chase smiles.

"I need to tell her!" Adam says "Adam, take it easy, you can't she has a boyfriend" Chase says "no she has a shit boyfriend!" Adam says.

"Adam!" Chase says "Uhg Chase grow up and learn to use swear words like an adult!" Adam rolls his eyes "It doesn't matter, he's still her boyfriend and she seems to like him" Chase says.

"it's because the poor girl doesn't know what happiness is.... In case it wasn't clear, in this case, happiness is me!" Adam says "What are you going to do to ask her to break up with Drew!?" Chase ask "No, I can't do that" Adam says, Chase agrees.

"but I can make her realize how stupid Drew is!" Adam says excitedly and leaves, Chase watches Adam leave with a confused face "oh what did I do?" Chase says to himself

......................................................................

Harper and Douglas have been working on rebuilding Marcus for a few days.

"Okay, this will be his personality features, I programmed him to be protective but kind...This is the basis, the rest of his personality will be shaped alone over time, but we will always have total control over him if something goes wrong." Harper says "okay" Douglas says distractedly fiddling with software.

"Although this is very unlikely to happen, I don't want to brag, but I usually program codes perfectly" Harper brags, Douglas is focused.

"what are you doing?" Harper ask "Programming his security software and since he is an Android bodyguard I am putting a list of people he must protect on his internal drive" Douglas says.

"Did the old Marcus have this list?" Harper aks "yes but he was programmed to protect only me, I must confess that in this regard he was quite effective" Douglas says.

Harper observes the list, Douglas, Mr Davenport and everyone from Elite Force are listed, but what catches her attention is the first name that Douglas put on the list, Harper lightly chuclkes.

"Melody and Finn?" Harper says, Douglas clears his throat and looks away.

"that's why you had this idea suddenly and with such urgency, it's all about her, isn't it?" Harper says "Uh no" Douglas says.

"why is she on the list?" Harper asks "she's very involved with us, she's always around and your mom, don't you think it's just a matter of time before Sebastian finds out about this" Douglas says.

"I don't think he'll have any interest in her" Harper says "and if he wants to use him as blackmail, threaten her...I won't risk it!" Douglas says.

Harper stops and looks at him impressed for a second "So this project, is it just because of her?" Harper asks again "well don't you want to see your mother safe?" Douglas says, Harper continues looking at him with a slight smile.

"what?" Douglas says "Well, if that's the case we need a stronger robotic structure" Harper says going to one of the rock doors.

......................................................................

Grace and Drew are taking a romantic walk at the amusement park.

"I'm glad you didn't have to work today" Grace says "aww I'm happy too, just so I can spend time with you sweetie" Drew says.

"You could do that more" Grace says "You know I'm busy, but don't worry, I always make time for you in my schedule" Drew says "Promise?" Grace says "Of course!" Drew says, Grace hugs him.

Suddenly Adam stands between them with his arms around both of them "Adam?" Grace says "wow I didn't even see you there!" Adam says.

"what the fuck are you doing here?" Drew says already impatient "Drew" Grace says "I was wondering the same thing about you" Adam says with a sarcastic smile.

"Adam, what are you doing here?" Grace asks "I'm having fun like you" Adam smiles "You're more like ruining the fun" Drew says.

"No, that's your role here" Adam says, Drew glares at him "you're doing a great job Drew" Adam says "And what is your role? The idiot!?" Drew says "Can you guys stop!" Grace says.

"sorry sweetie, let's get out of here" Drew says "No, we can't leave Adam alone!" Grace says "Yeah, Drew, you can't leave me alone" Adam says pretending to be innocent.

"He's going to be fine" Drew says "No, I want you two to get along, and by the end of this afternoon I want you guys to be friends!" Grace says.

"I don't want to be friends with him" Drew says, Adam makes an upset face "how rude he is, don't you think Grace!?" Adam says putting his arm around Grace.

"Stop! What's wrong with you!?" Grace takes Adam's arm from around her "can't you guys at least act like normal people!?" Grace says, Drew and Adam look at each other irritated.

"look I don't know what your problem is, but please can we enjoy this afternoon together, can you do that...for me?" Grace says, Adam and Drew they roll their eyes.

"okay!" Drew says "of course, I'll do everything for you" Adam smiles "but I do a lot more for you" Drew says, Grace rolls her eyes and continues walking.

"Man, stop, you look desperate" Adam smirks and goes after Grace, Drew growls in anger.

......................................................................

Harper and Douglas are at Mission Command, Marcus is practically ready sitting at the central cyber desk.

"Oh my God look at him!" Harper says excitedly "I know, it was the same feeling as the first time, only with an evil vibe!" Douglas says.

"Okay, just a few more adjustments" Harper says, touching the control panel on the back of Marcus' head "There we Go!" Harper says.

Marcus lifts his head and opens his eyes, he looks around "Marcus?" Douglas ask "Dad?" Marcus ask "really?" Harper tells Douglas "it's force of habit" Douglas says.

"Hey Harper!" Marcus smiles "uh...Hey Marcus" Harper approaches "how do you feel?" Harper asks "I feel great!" Marcus says.

"woah This is so weird and so cool at the same time!" Harper says, Marcus stands up.

"Wow this place is amazing" Marcus says "it's your home" Douglas says "I know, and where's the rest of the team, I can't wait to see them!" Marcus says.

"They're upstairs, but they don't know about you yet so we're going to keep you here until they're ready to handle the situation okay?" Harper says "I understand, don't worry, I'll let them take as long as they need to get used to the idea" Marcus says.

Harper looks at Douglas and smiles "I understand their fear but I will do everything I can to prove that I am not a threat" Marcus says "Relax Marcus, we'll take care of it, you don't have to worry" Harper says calmly.

Leo walks out the HyperLift "Hey Harper, Douglas, Marcus.... MARCUS!!?" Leo shouts throwing a laser sphere at Marcus.

"Leo no!!!" Harper and Douglas scream but it's too late, Leo blasts Marcus' robotic head with the laser sphere.

"NO!!" Harper says going to him "Leo, what's the matter with you!? Why do you always have to do this!!?" Douglas says irritated.

"what's my problem!? What the fuck were you doing with that haunting with eyebrows?" Leo says scared "We spent five days working on it for you to ruin it in five seconds!!" Harper says.

"Why you rebuilt him?" Leo says "we didn't rebuild him, it's another Android!" Douglas says "Why did you build another one!?" Leo asks "for safety" Douglas says.

"I don't see any safety in this face!" Leo says "I don't see safety in you either but I'm not going to shoot you in the face because of it" Harper says irritated, Leo rolls his eyes.

"Douglas wanted an Android to act as a bodyguard, to ensure Melody's safety" Harper says trying to restore Marcus who is on the floor, Leo looks at Douglas.

"it's not just to guarantee Melody's safety, okay, it's for everyone's safety" Douglas says "Of course it is" Leo says sarcastically.

"Okay, but why make him look like Marcus?" Leo says "the base is Marcus' project" Douglas says "and also because he's kind of cute" Harper says.

"He has no connection whatsoever with the old Marcus, and he was also well programmed to be another valuable member of the team" Douglas says.

"I'm not going to work alongside that thing" Leo says "relax, he will have missions independent of ours" Harper says.

"Do Chase and the rest of the team know about this?" Leo asks "No, and they might not know yet" Harper says.

"although I think your reaction was expected to be the worst" Douglas says "I don't trust him" Leo says "but you trust us, right?" Douglas says "no" Leo says.

"Well, you will, so be good and pass me his ear that fell near your foot!" Harper says impatiently.

......................................................................

Adam, Grace and Drew walks through the amusement park, Drew holds Grace's hand and Adam looks at them uncomfortable.

"Ooh! Look!" Grace points to a stuffed animal machine "Woah I love these machines!" Adam says excitedly.

"Stop these machines are a boring scam" Drew says "I want one" Grace goes to the machine "a boring scam I love!" Drew says.

"let me get you one!" Adam says confidently "No! I'm the boyfriend I'll get It" Drew pushes him "Boys relax, I'll get it!" Grace says putting coins in the machine.

"Okay" Grace says, she plays and tries to get the film but she loses "No!" Grace says upset.

Adam looks at the machine "Calm down sweetie, your hero is here" Drew says "it's not a lie" Adam smirks in Grace's direction.

"which one of the plushies do you want?" Drew putting coins in the machine "The teddy bear" Grace says "okay" Drew says he starts playing on the machine, he loses.

"Ahg shit!" Drew says "My turn!" Adam says "no, no way, if neither she nor I can do it, what chance do you have?" Drew laughs, Grace looks at Adam slightly upset.

"come on sweetie" Drew puts his arm around Grace and the two start to leave, Adam looks at Drew angrily and looks at the machine.

Suddenly they hear the sound of glass being broken, they both look back, Adam broke the glass of the machine and takes the teddy bear that Grace wanted.

Grace smiles, Drew looks at him indignantly "Here, a cute teddy bear, for another cute teddy bear" Adam winks at Grace handing over the teddy bear.

Grace looks Adam in the eyes, with an impressed look "woah!" Grace sighs and blushes, picking up the teddy bear.

"Hey you can't do that!" Drew says "she wanted the teddy, she got the teddy no matter how it went" Adam smirk.

"Thank you Adam, I loved it" Grace says, Adam smiles, Drew looks at him, Grace goes to another tent nearby, Adam starts to follow her and Drew stops him.

"what do you think you're doing?" Drew says "Oh I guess you know" Adam says.

"you're not going to lay a finger on my girlfriend" Drew says "No, I would never do that" Adam says.

"If you think she's going to fall for your tricks, you're very deluded" Drew says "And if you think she's going to stay with you for much longer, you're the one who's deluding" Adam says.

"so are you really trying to steal my girlfriend!?" Drew says "I'm not even trying, it's something that will happen naturally" Adam smirk and leaves.

......................................................................

Harper and Douglas, with Leo's help, fix Marcus.

"Why did you shoot me!?" Marcus asks "because I don't trust you, let this serve as a warning!" Leo says.

"man I was only activated for like two minutes when you hit me what did I do to you!?" Marcus says "Oh You know!" Leo says threateningly.

"No he doesn't know, Leo, how many times do we have to say that he's not the same Marcus!" Harper says "Yes, Leo, I'm another Android, everything the first version of me did has nothing to do with me! Since I am the best version designed by a person much smarter than Douglas" Marcus says, Douglas frowns.

"did you make him say that?" Douglas says "Uh I designed him not to lie, so....good one Marcus!" Harper smiles, Douglas glares at her not believing it.

"Okay, I get it, you are not evil, but to be honest I've always wanted to do this" Leo chuckles, Douglas and Harper glares at him and Marcus looks at him confused.

"I'm happy to have made your dream come true" Marcus says, Leo smiles sarcastically.

"Okay Marcus, everything is ok now, all your pieces have been put back" Douglas says "Thank you, I feel better now" Marcus says.

Chase gets out of the HyperLift "Hap what did you want me to see?" Chase says, Harper points at Marcus, Chase jumps in fright.

"Marcus!?" Chase says "Hey Chase, good to see you finally, and don't worry this isn't all what you think" Marcus approaches and greets Chase, he looks at Harper and Douglas.

"What did you do!?" Chase ask "Calm down, he's not bad, I've already tested it and it seems reliable so far" Leo says.

"Douglas designed a security Android project based on Marcus, and I helped him ensure that this Android would be safe" Harper says "Did you help design this?" Chase says "yes!" Harper says proudly.

"plus this Marcus is much more limited than the other, with an adaptable personality to avoid conflicts" Douglas says "I get it, his life is all about fulfilling the purpose of ensuring safety" Chase says.

"exactly, isn't he great!?" Harper says "Okay, I have to admit that I'm impressed" Chase says "and if he gets out of control I'm right here... yeah little robot, I'm watching you!" Leo threatens Marcus again who just raises his eyebrow confused.

Adam walks in via HyperLift looking slightly upset "Hello Adam!" Marcus says "Oh see you guys finished rebuilding Marcus!" Adam says.

"Did you know that?" Chase asks "he came in here a few minutes after I blew Marcus' head on impulse" Leo explains, Chase frowns.

"How was your day Adam?" Marcus asks "it could be better" Adam says "do you want a hot drink to feel better?" Marcus asks.

Harper nudges Chase and points at Marcus excitedly "It depends what drink that would be?" Adam ask "uh could it be a hot chocolate?" Marcus ask "I accept! Thanks Marcus!" Adam says "okay, excuse me" Marcus says and leaves.

"Wow, what was that?" Chase says impressed, "the basis of his personality is being welcoming and polite, especially in front of team members," Harper says.

"Just get this, this is the main list of users of his security software..." Douglas shows the list to Chase.

"hey why is my name there?" Adam says "cuz this is the list of people that Marcus must protect above all else" Harper says.

"exactly, and this is the list of threats" Douglas shows another list with Sebastian's name on it.

"Wow, you did a great job guys!" Chase says putting his arm around Harper "Aw thanks sweetheart" Harper says and kisses Chase's cheek.

"I think we better go upstairs and see if in fact Marcus is making the hot chocolate" Leo says "yes, or make sure no no one else is going to blow him up on impulse!" Douglas says "it was force of habit okay!" Leo says.

Everyone leaves via HyperLift except Adam.

He looks at the list of threats in Marcus's schedule that Douglas left open, Adam notices that there is a space to type more names on the list.

"Oh this is going to be really good" Adam smirk and he types a name into the list.

......................................................................

The next day Harper, Chase, Adam, Leo and Grace are in the kitchen having a snack after Grace's training.

Suddenly Drew comes in scared and runs into the penthouse.

"Drew? What are you doing here!?" Grace asks "Help!! You guys aren't heroes or whatever, help me! There's a crazy freak after me!" Drew says.

"what do you mean!?" Chase ask "A Freak that shoots lasers from his eyes, I think he's bionic, and wants to kill me!!" Drew says, Adam chuckles.

"Drew calm down" Leo says "how am I supposed to calm down if my life is in danger!" Drew says.

"Could it be Sebastian?" Grace says "What? I don't know who it is I just know he says he shot lasers at me and said he was programmed like that or something..." Drew says scared.

At that moment Chase and Harper look at each other "oh no, Marcus!" The two say together, suddenly Marcus breaks the door.

"You!" Marcus says and points to Drew "Aaahh it's him!" Drew says and pushes Chase in front of him.

"take him I'm too handsome to die!" Drew says, Chase rolls his eyes, Harper looks at him.

"I'm seriously thinking about letting him spank you" Harper says, Drew glares at her "Do something!!" Drew saysm

Marcus shoots with heat vision towards them and ends up hitting a chandelier that falls in the middle of the room.

"Marcus! stop! why are you doing this!?" Harper asks "I don't know, my programming says I should do it but it doesn't match my personality programming, I'm confused!!" Marcus says.

"Look, I didn't want to be that person who says I told you so but...I TOLD YOU SO!!" Leo says Marcus throws the coffee table towards Drew, Chase protects him with the force field.

"Hide!!" Chase says, Drew hides behind the counter Adam is sitting at "Guys, what's going on!?" Grace looks worried.

"Uh your boyfriend is such a fucking asshole that even robots want to break his face?" Adam smiles, Grace glares at him angry.

"Someone must have added Drew's name to the list of threats in Marcus' programming!" Chase says "who would do something like that!?" Harper says.

At the same moment she and Chase look at Adam, he looks at both of them "I agree with you, it was definitely Leo!" Adam says, Leo glares at him.

"Adam!!" Chase says "You sent a robot to kill me!!" Drew says from behind the counter "Of course not, I just wanted him to scare you, and look, mission accomplished" Adam says.

"I'm not scared!" Drew says "oh right, hey Marcus he's right here!" Adam points, Marcus prepares to shoot Drew with heat vision, Drew screams and runs away.

"Adam, what's your problem!!?" Grace says irritated "He won't stop until he accomplishes the mission!" Chase says "I've got this, the only way to stop is to shut him down" Harper says.

"Harper, I'm sorry, I don't know why I'm doing this" Marcus says and gets ready to run after Drew "Relax, I'll help you!" Harper says uses her energy manipulation to disconnect Marcus from afar, he falls to the ground.

Harper sighs with relief "Did you do it?" Leo asks "yes, it's over" Harper says, Drew goes back to the kitchen and sees Marcus on the floor.

"You guys are going to destroy this thing right?" Drew says "no, but relax we're going to take your name off his schedule and he'll never bother you again" Chase says.

"Come on Leo, let's take him somewhere else" Chase says avoiding mentioning Mission Command in front of Drew, Leo, Harper and Chase leave taking Marcus.

......................................................................

Grace looks at Adam upset "Adam, is there anything to explain!?" Grace says "Yeah, Adam has something to explain!" Drew says, Adam looks at him irritated but closes his eyes and sighs.

"I know, I'm sorry, Drew, I'm sorry about that, I took it too far, I just wanted to scare you, things weren't supposed to get out of control like that" Adam says, he's sincere.

"I don't believe it" Drew says, Grace looks at him "you knew very well what you were doing!!" Drew says irritated "Man I'm serious, I didn't know the consequences would be so serious" Adam says.

"liar!" Drew says "I'm telling the truth!" Adam says in a firmer tone "Drew, he already apologized!" Grace says.

"Grace, don't believe him, he's a liar" Drew says "I'm not a liar!" Adam says "oh yeah, admit that you only did all this because you have a crush on Grace, and wants to steal her from me!" Drew says, Adam hangs his head.

"Drew that's enough!!" Grace says angry "But he...""I don't want to know!! we'll talk later!" Grace says angrily "Grace.." "We'll talk later Drew!!" Grace says.

Drew rolls his eyes and leaves irritated he slams the door on the way out, Adam is silent "I apologize for him" Grace says "it's okay, that was all my fault, my bad" Adam says.

"Look, I understand, I'm not mad at you, I'm just....upset" Grace says "why are you dating this idiot?" Adam says, Grace sighs impatiently.

"Adam, I know you and Drew don't get along, but I need you to understand that I really like you two and I don't want this fight between you to make me lose you both, okay I really want you two to at least be able to stay in the same room together without wanting to kill each other. and understand that dating Drew is my choice and you have no right to interfere in my choices, either of you" Grace says firmly, Adam nods his head.

He doesn't understand why Grace insists on dating Drew.

"I don't agree with your choice, I think you deserve much much more..." Adam says annoyed, he sighs.

"But I'll respect your decision, I'll do my best to live with Drew, because I care about you and as long as you're happy I'm happy" Adam says slightly irritated by the situation, Grace looks at him "Thank you" Grace says.

Adam looks away biting his lip to hide his upset, Grace looks at him thoughtfully "uh Is what Drew said about you having a crush on me true?" Grace says looking down

"And does it matter?" Adam asks, Grace takes a deep breath "I just wanted to know" Grace says.

"I just don't want to see you with a guy who doesn't care about you, That's why I don't like Drew, he doesn't value at all what he has" Adam says, Grace is silent "And what does he have?" Grace asks.

"he has everything and treats it like it's nothing" Adam says he says in an irritated tone, almost without thinking, but when he says it he regrets it thinking he said too much, Grace smiles slightly.

"Everything?" Grace says shyly, Adam presses his lips together and take a deep breath "yeah" Adam he says without looking at her.

Grace smiles and looks at his hand resting on the counter, she calmly puts her hand in his hand, Adam looks at their hands, He gently caresses her hand with his thumb, but when he looks her in the eyes he sighs and takes his hand away.

"See you, Teddy bear" Adam says leaving, Grace sees him leaving, she holds her own hand, rethinking the moment and she gives a slight smile.

......................................................................

At Mission Command, Harper and Chase reconfigured Marcus, Adam joins HyperLift.

"Okay, Drew's name is no longer on the list, and I encrypted the base settings of his security software so they can no longer be changed so easily" Chase says "Great" Harper says.

"Forgive me guys, I don't know what came over me, it was never my intention to hurt that guy, I don't even know him!" Marcus says "Relax Marcus, it wasn't your fault" Harper says.

"yeah, it was Adam's fault!" Chase says, Adam glares at him.

"What happened to you, do you realize that you could have killed Drew!" Chase says "And you were worried about me, huh? The problem is you people that are very bad" Marcus says, Harper slightly agrees.

"sorry, I didn't know" Adam says "And how many times have we asked you not to mess with Mission Command stuff?" Chase says "I already said I'm sorry!" Adam says.

"look Adam, if you wanted to impress Grace, this isn't going to be the best way" Chase says, Adam shakes his head "I know" Adam says upset.

"Chase, Marcus could you give me a moment to talk to Adam?" Harper says "sure" Marcus says "okay" Chase says, he and Marcus leave.

Harper sits next to Adam "So, you and Grace?" Harper says "I think so, but maybe she'll never let go of Drew" Adam says "never say never" Harper says.

"No, Harper, I always do this" Adam says "what?" Harper aks "I like the wrong girl, first you and now Grace" Adam says, Harper smirk.

"Adam, I've known you for practically four years, so I know you very well after all, you are and will always be my best friend" Harper says.

"And I can say with certainty that you've never felt for me the way you feel for Grace," Harper says "What do you mean?" Adam says "you're in love with her, I can see, she's not just a crush" Harper smiles.

"No offense, but you're not helping" Adam says "what I'm trying to say is, I know she'll realize this, she'll realize that Drew is a jerk and you're the one for her because the two of you just...works " Harper says "You're telling me to sit and wait" Adam ask.

"I'm saying that if you love her, Be there for her, take care of her, and at the right time she will realize...Just never lose hope" Harper says putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Do you really think that?" Adam asks "Yup, believe me, sometimes the wait is worth it" Harper smiles.

"Thanks Harper" Adam says "hey no matter how much time passes, I'll never leave you remember?" Harper hugs him to comfort him, Adam smiles and closes his eyes in the middle of the hug, and sighs thoughtfully.
