Adam and Doris

Adam and Doris is a friendship seen in Carter Corp.

## Overview

Adam and Doris is the friendship consisting of Adam Peterson and Doris that is mostly seen in Colin Spencer's story route and sometimes in Adam's route as well. Adam and Doris are bandmates in their band Nightmareden which they started with Colin when they were younger. Adam and Doris have a more easy going relationship than Colin and Doris and are actually only just friends that see each other in platonic ways.

While Doris likes Colin in a romantic way and wants to be with him despite him not feeling the same way, she feels nothing for Adam (and the feeling is mutual) which makes their friendship much more simple. Doris often gets mad when Adam and Colin hook up with groupies and ignore her though which even caused her to quit the band one time. She mostly quit due to jealousy with Colin but she was still equally mad that Adam would hook up with groupies as well that would deliberately ignore her.

Adam often has to break up the fights that Doris gets into a lot with Colin and the player, and is the middle ground that sometimes has to calm her down. Adam had to drag Doris away during her cat fight with the player, and also calmed her down when she would get angry at Colin's relationship with the player at festivals and bars.

Adam tries not to choose sides during arguments, but when he does, he usually sides with the person against Doris, showing that even though he's her friend, he still realizes when she's in the wrong and has to correct her behavior. Doris doesn't seem to hold any resent towards Adam like she does with Colin and the player though, and really does care about him, as she once claimed that he and Colin saved her life by being there for her, and she's grateful towards him. Adam also seems disappointed in Doris whenever she does drugs or drinks too much and will bad mouth her ex-boyfriend Jim, who is a bad influence on her.

When Doris is first seen in Adam's route after a Nightmareden concert, she is slightly drunk and annoyed with fans and the player for trying to talk to her, and Adam is amused by her rude behavior and teases her. He also apologizes to the player for her behavior after she abruptly left but knew it wasn't personal. Doris doesn't have a big role in Adam's story route like she does in Colin's, but it's still clear that the two are still good friends who understand each other.

Doris is sometimes mentioned in Ryan Carter's story route but is never seen. Doris was supposed to play at Ryan and the player's wedding but canceled on the event which both Colin and Adam seemed disappointed by and said that they failed her again. Doris is permanently replaced as the bassist for Nightmareden by Ashley, who has the same personality as Doris only more light hearted, and Adam seems to get along with her just as well. It's unknown how Doris feels about Ashley and her relationships with Colin and Adam but it could be assumed that she has no problem with Adam being friends with her at least.

The two will more than likely never see each other as more than friends, as Doris once even laughed at the idea of getting with him, and she has no sexual or romantic feelings towards him, but it is hinted in Colin's season 2 that she has a slight crush on him. Doris obviously needs Adam though, since he knows how to calm her down and is the only close friend she has that she isn't constantly fighting with. Adam's relationship with Doris is kind of like the one he has with Colin, only the two do appear to be slightly less close but there is less fighting between them.
