My Brother's Girl (Jack and Finn Harries)

Realisations

Finn's POV

"Jack mate, you are pissed out of your head," I said pulling my brother off the sofa,

"I love you Finn," Jack said as he slumped on my shoulder,

"I love you too mate," I chuckled walking with him out of the room. It was three in the morning and I thought it was about time to go home, "Where's Emily?" I said looking around the house,

"I mean I really love you. Like more than rainbows and cherries," I heard Jack mutter into my neck,

"Wow, more than cherries, that's a lot,"

"I know but it's true buddy, there is nothing I wouldn't do for you,"

I paused,here it comes. The guilt.

"That's nice Jack," I swallowed hard, I couldn't let this get to me,

Your a shit brother

My subconscious screamed at me. I really am.

Well you are carrying his drunk ass

True. But I was in love with his girl.

"Finn," Jack whispered into my ear,

"Yes Jack?" I whispered back,

"I want my bed," he wined,

"Okay buddy I'll put you in the car, I just got to find your girl," I said walking towards the car, opening the door and gently placing him in the back seat. Almost immediately he was fast asleep.

"Emily!" I whispered but shouted at the same time as I walked into the house full of my sleeping friends, I walked up the stairs and stopped. Someone was being sick.

Emily's POV

I flushed the toilet and stood up to sit on the lid.

"Jesus Em, what's wrong with you?" I said to myself, I was probably just tired and drunk,

"Emily?" I heard Finn's voice,

"Finn!" I groaned, immediately the door was thrown open and I was met with the wide eyes of the boy I felt myself falling in love with,

"Oh baby what's wrong?" he said as he knelt down next to me, "Have you been sick?" he said wiping the hair away from my forehead, I nodded as he stood up,

"Your hot," he said feeling my forehead,

"Well thank you," I laughed, he smiled,

"It's probably just lack of sleep," he said looking into my eyes as mine and his worry drained out of our bodies. I was fine, "But just to be sure,"he said bending down and picking me up, "I should carry you too the car," he grinned. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he kissed my temple, I was drunk and sleepy, suddenly I felt safe, calm and relaxed. Finn felt right and I loved him.

Finn's POV

Em cuddled up to me as I carried her down the stairs,

"Your a good guy Finn," she smiled against my shirt, I grinned

"Thank you,"

Jesus your crazy in love with this girl Finn

"I love you Finn," I heard Emily whisper,

WHAT?!

"What?" I said looking down at her in shock, did she just say what I thought she said? I looked at her but she was fast asleep.

***************

It had been three days since the New Years party. I hadn't spoken to Emily since then, she had been home with her family and spending time with Jack. The time I spent away from her gave me time to think. I couldn't be selfish, I loved her but so did my brother. I could give her so much more than Jack but he had her first.

I sat at my desk and sent her a text: Em, I've been thinking and I need to talk to you xox


Almost immediatly I had a reply: I need to talk to you as well. Hyde Park at four? xox


I smiled at the phone: See you there xox

The smiled melted away as realisation hit me. I needed to tell the girl I loved we couldn't see each other anymore.



Emily's POV

*** 2 hours before the text **

What's wrong with you Emily


I thought you myself as I flushed the toilet for the third time this morning. I stood up to wash my hands when something caught my eye,

"SHIT!" I screamed looking at my full set of contraception pills sitting on my shelf. I hadn't been taking them for the past month.

"Oh god no," I said as I went through the maths in my head,

My period is three days late

I felt my stomach knot as my legs shook. Suddenly I needed to throw up again but this time out of fear and shock.

"A pregnancy test please," I said to the man at the till in boots,

"Seven pounds," he smiled as I handed over a tenner,

"Thanks," I muttered as I shot out the shop and back home. No one was home so I sprinted up the stairs and locked the bathroom door.


Em, I've been thinking and I need to talk to you xox


I read Finn's text as I waited for the test result. I was about to reply before the clock went off. 2 minutes up. I closed my eyes and looked down at the test.


I need to talk to you as well. Hyde Park at four? xox I typed back and sent.

The test was positive. I was pregnant.

Whose baby is it?

Suddenly the tears leaked over the sides of my eyes. I was such a horrible person and I was now pregnant but I didn't know who the father was.

"Well your going to hell," I sniffed, I needed to tell Finn.

***

I inhaled deeply as I approached Finn. He looked perfect, he was wearing jeans and a hoodie but even he could make that sexy.

You can do this

I exhaled making the air swirl in front of me,

"Hey," I smiled as I approached him,

"Hi," he smiled back but the smile didn't reach his eyes, something was wrong.

"Finn, are you ok?" I asked as we hugged,

"Yes, well no. Em we need to talk,"

Oh god no

"Let me talk first," I said trying to get my words out,

"No Em I just want to say something,"

"Can I just-"

"Emily please!" he shouted stopping me in my tracks,

"You just need to hear this," he said looking into my eyes,

"Don't," I said shaking my head, I knew what was coming, "Finn," I said holding back my tears,

"I love you Emily,"

"Finn," I said trying to stop him but he continued,

"And it's because I love you that I have to stop this." I could see he was holding back a load of tears just like I was. I needed to tell him.

I LOVE YOU FINN!

My mind was screaming it but my mouth wouldn't move,

"I don't deserve you Em," Finn said looking from me up into the sky as he swallowed back the tears, "but my brother does," he said looking back at me,

"What?" I frowned,

"You know this is wrong Em, I can't hurt my brother."

I didn't say anything. I just nodded. Why didn't I say anything?!

Because you know this is the right thing to do

For the first time in a while I agreed with my subconscious,

"Goodbye Em," Finn whispered before closing his eyes and pressing his lips to my forehead as a single tear escaped his eye. I didn't move. I was numb. I loved Finn more than Jack. I did but I knew what we were doing was wrong. As Finn turned and walked away it hit me, I was losing him.

Finn's POV

I turned and walked away from the girl I loved feeling the inside of me crumble. Every part of me wanted to turn around and run back to her but I kept walking,

"FINN!" Emily called after me, I turned round and looked at her as she ran after me,

"What?" I said, my voice breaking as the tears flew out my eyes, she didn't say anything she just wrapped her arms round me and jumped so her legs wrapped around my waist. I knew exactly what she was doing. Our last kiss.

I could feel her tears against my hand as I cupped her face with my left hand and held her tight against me with the other. The kiss deepened as I forced my tongue into her mouth and she allowed me access. I loved this girl and I was letting her go. Sadness, anger and love filled our kiss as I set her down and it finished. I looked into her perfect eyes,

"Goodbye Finny," she whispered as another tear left her eye and I caught it with my thumb, I pressed my lips to hers one last time before she turned around and walked off leaving me alone in the park. As she left I sunk to my knees in the freezing cold and cried. I just cried.
