Emma was in shock and before dealing with Cole and Adam who appeared out of nowhere, she helped Sarah to calm down.
"How dare that arrogant, selfish and disloyal bastard show his face here, and why is he here as well. You didn't let him in, so why did he just co in and lay on the sofa like he owns the place" muttered Emma as she gave Cole a look of disdain.
At that mont Cole was deep in thought and wasn't paying attention to what was happening as he began to understand what Adam was trying to show and explain to him.
Controlling one's emotions, desires and thoughts would allow one to beco a monster and unleash their full power against enemies, beco a respectable and just leader that was revered by all and also beco a nonchalant and relaxed young man that was always making jokes.
It was how Adam was able to handle all the different burdens and problems alone and it was hard for him to learn how to do so, but he had no choice but to learn as if he didn't, he would have been crushed by all the different things he was experiencing and feeling at once.
While Cole was being enlightened to ntal and emotional control, Emma waltzed over to Adam with Sarah in tow.
"What are you doing here? And why are you acting as if you own the place?" exclaid Emma.
.
She didn't personally hold any negative emotions towards Adam as although he would disappear randomly and lose contact with all of them, that was expected from him and he didn't have any commitnts, but Emma knew that his disappearance hurt Sarah quite heavily.
Because of that, she couldn't help but feel angry towards Adam and Cole.
"Just calm down, can we not have a chat. It has been a while and I just wanted to catch up" answered Adam nonchalantly as he sat up and gave them a smile.
Emma realised that she needed to calm down and there were too many emotions she was feeling at once and Sarah felt the sa way.
"Tell your friend to co in and we will have a chat in a short while. Sarah and I will go and make us so coffee" said Emma as she dragged Sarah away again towards the kitchen.
They both needed so ti to calm down, regain composure and think about how they felt about Adam and Cole and what they wanted to say to them.
Adam was amused by their actions and behaviour and couldn't help but feel nostalgic and reminiscent as he called for Cole to co inside and close the door behind him.
Cole did as Adam said and sat beside Adam, but he was very absent-minded and it was clear that he was deep in thought, just like Adam was hoping he would be.
[It seems that with small stimuli, hints and examples, Cole and the others have the potential to greatly improve and I will continue trying to teach them in this way. By figuring it out themselves, their lessons and understandings will be unique to them and they will benefit from it more] thought Adam to himself, pleased with the concentrated and enlightened expression on Cole's face.
In the anti, Adam sat in silence with a smile on his face, awaiting the return of Emma and Sarah and curious to how their conversation would turn out.
After around 10 minutes there was a strong sll of coffee in the house and Adam had chosen not to listen in on what Emma and Sarah had spoken about while they were gone, not wanting to intrude on their privacy and also wanting to make their conversation more interesting and authentic.
They had cald down and walked over to Cole and Adam with four cups of coffee on a tray along with an additional small jug of milk and sugar.
"You two are quite the accommodating hosts. I would have believed that I was at ho, if it wasn't for the slap"
As he said that, Adam stroked his cheek acting as though Sarah's slap had hurt him and nudged Cole with his arm to wake him out of his deep contemplation.
Cole jumped up slightly after rembering where he was and what was going on, but unlike before, Cole was calm and collected and it seed as though Adam was beginning to rub off on him.
"I apologise for that Adam, it's just that you disappeared for an entire year without contacting us, then suddenly appear out of nowhere and shocked . It also because Emma and Cole haven't been on the best of terms and...." said Sarah as she stopped speaking after seeing Emma glare at her.
"What do you two want?" asked Emma directly and rudely.
"We just wanted to catch up, pay you guys a visit and get so coffee" answered Adam.
It was clear that the atmosphere was tense and slightly awkward, but Adam was still very laid back, relaxed and unbothered by it.
"There is no need to be so angry, defensive or hold grudges. Just sit down and relax"
"I don't need you to permit to sit in my own house Adam, and why don't you tell us how the past year has been for you" refuted Emma as she sat down with Sarah opposite to Cole and Adam.
"Doesn't this bring back mories to when we were kids in class?" said Adam, avoiding the topic of himself.
"What? you can't tell us, ordinary people, what amazing lives you two lived for an entire year that caused you to forget about all of those that were with you from the start" asked Emma spitefully.
It was clear she was hurt and felt abandoned, worthless and left behind, unable to believe that Adam and Cole were truly doing so for her protection.
"I do not owe either of you anything firstly and secondly I ca here to visit friends and not to argue. If you really want to lead lives like and Cole, you should prepare yourself" stated Adam who was starting to beco annoyed by Emma's attitude.
