Find me

The plot twist Pt1

Before I know it, it's 6 o'clock. I'm at Harry's sitting with Finn and his family.

But something doesn't feel right. I feel like someone's watching me. And it's not Finn or Nick or Mary or Eric. There's a chill down my spine. I text Finn, even though he's sitting right beside me.

Finn💋

M: Hey, don't freak out but I think someone's watching us

F: Lol yeah i wouldnt be surprized

M: No, Finn.

Not in a "OMG it's the Wolfhards!" way

F: in what way then?

I look at him.

M: I have a really bad feeling.

He slowly puts his phone down and looks at me. Setting his hand on mine, he scans the restaurant, eyes meeting mine.

I do the same, scanning the restaurant and stop cold.

"Oh my god..." What should be an exclamation is really a whisper.

"What?" Finn asks, worried. I shake my head. 

"Nick, can I talk to you? Please?" I ask, my voice quiet. He nods, seeing my pale face. 

We walk out of the restaurant and I break down. 

"Whoa! Hey, hey, hey, hey. It's okay, Abbs. Shh. What's happening? Talk to me." He freaks out. He's not really good at this kind of thing. He just hugs me sweetly.

"What the fuck is going on? Did Finn just, like, do something none of us saw? Because if he di-" I cut him off before he could threaten his brother.

"Hey! No, no! We both know very well that Finn would NEVER do something like that." I take a breath. "Look, Nick I knew I shouldn't have accepted when the cast offered to take me in. I knew that I'd get attached because that's just what I do when I care about people. And I knew that it would all come back to bite me in the ass one day."

"What are you talking about, Kid?" Nick asks not getting my point.

"I have to leave and I need you to make sure that he..." I tilt my head up a fraction in the direction of the dark-eyed, ghost from my past. Nick follows my gaze. "That he doesn't follow me."

"I... I don't get it. Why? Who is he? Do you think he's following you? Why do you have to leave? Are you coming back? What about Finn?" He Rambles. Question after question.

"Nick!" I yell. He meets my eyes. I'm still crying. "I know you don't understand. And I'm sorry. I have to leave. To keep everyone safe. That man is part of something dangerous. Yes, I KNOW he's following me. He hasn't stopped looking at me since we got here. If I don't leave, I don't know how safe everyone else will be." I tell him. He looks at me, his eyes filling with tears.

"Are you coming back?" He asks me, voice cracking. I look at the ground.

"Probably not, Nick." I whisper sadly. I hear him sigh.

"What about Finn?" I can tell by his voice that this is his last question. But, I'm not sure what to say."

"I love him, Nick. I've never loved anyone like I love him and I never want to. I don't want him to get hurt. And trust me, if I don't go, he will. Please, Nick. I can't let him get hurt." I say.

"He's going to get hurt either way, Kid." He tells me. I look up at him, confused.

He smiles sadly and pulls out his phone. "He told me not to play this for you yet, but I think you need to hear it." He says, tapping at his phone.

"Hey Princess. It's me, Finn. You probably know that though. Whatever. Look. I know you aren't going to hear this for a long time because I'm giving it to Nick to keep it safe, But there's some things I want- I need for you to know. I've never known anyone like you before. You're drop dead gorgeous and smart and funny. You make me feel like the luckiest person on Earth. I love you more than anything. I get jealous when I see guys stare at you, because you could have anyone in the world and you choose me. I'm constantly afraid of losing you, but you're quick to reassure me. You never hide your feelings from me or lie about anything. You hate it when I get you gifts, even though you deserve the whole fucking world. You are the kindest person in the world, no matter what is thrown at you. You've been through so much and you're fucking amazing. You're my miracle. I hope we never lose each other. I love you Abigail Willow."

I wipe my tears away and take a breath. "Nick. I need to make a phone call. If I'm not inside in five minutes, Tell Finn I love him." My tone is final. He nods and goes back into the restaurant.

I make a few calls. Within 4 minutes and 53 seconds I'm back inside and in my seat.

Finn looks at me in confusion and worry. "Holy shit! Are you okay Princess?" He exclaims, cupping my face in his hands.

"Honestly, not really. But I will be in about 8 minutes." Kiss his lips gently. When I pull away, he pulls me close and covers my face with kisses. 

"I love you, Beautiful." He whispers into my ear, sending happy shivers through my body. I giggle.

"I love you too, Weirdo." I link our hands together.

10 minutes pass and my phone goes off.

We're in Position, Boss. 

I smile. "Boss?" Finn asks. I turn to him.

"Finn. If I'm not back within 15 minutes, call the cops. Okay?" I say as quietly as I can. His face pales. 

"I'm coming with you." He says quickly. I smile sadly.

"Finn. Do I ever lie to you?" He shakes his head, slowly. "Do you trust me?" He nods. "Then trust when I say this, okay? I'll be fine. But you need to stay inside, okay? You can't come with me. I promise I'll be back. But only if you stay right here, okay. No. Matter. What. You a have to stay here."  He hesitates, but nods. "Promise me you'll stay here." I tell him.

"I promise I'll stay here, Princess." He whispers. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.

"Thank you."
