Forgotten memories // Finney Blake

Chapter 8

Tw: violence

I haven't seen Finn since, well... the kiss.

I was walking to meet up with him at our usual corner when a group of boys ran past me, the jackass trio were running after Finney.

I had to do something. I ran as fast as I could while dropping my bag before pushing Buzz off of Finney. "Didn't I fucking warn you!" I yelled before punching him in the face. Matt ran into me, knocking me onto the grass.

He tried to hit me but I kicked his crotch making him fall on the floor crying in pain. Gwen came running with a rock in hand "fucking cock sucking cowards!" She hit Matty in the face with a rock.

She tried to go after Buzz but he knocked her down, blood spilled out of her mouth as he kicked her face. She quietly crawled next to Matty who had blood dripping down the side of his head.

I threw Buzz back and he hit the metal fence, he ran back and shoved me before sucker punching me in the face.

My head flew back as I felt a warm liquid trickle down my nose and and over my lips. I slipped my hand in my pocket and slid out my swiss army knife making sure my hand wasn't visible.

He ran after me and I held my knife against his throat.

"Don't fucking test me" I gritted between my teeth while tilting my head up to make eye contact. "You wouldn't do it" he teased.

I could feel his warm heavy breaths brush against my bare skin, our faces were centimeters apart. From the corner of my eye I see Finney get up, he shoves Buzz "get away from her!" He screams as Buzz stumbles.

"You really think she would go for someone like you?" Buzz laughs before knocking him to the ground. "You're nothing but a f*g" he says before kicking Finney.

I cried out in pain as I felt something hard hit my head, I fell to my knees before I brought my hand up to touch the spot the back of my head, my fingers were covered in blood and my head was pounding as the sunlight became brighter practically blinding me.

I felt so dizzy and nauseous when I realized Matt threw a fucking rock at me.

I stayed on the floor holding my head as Matt joined Buzz in kicking Finney. After a while, they finally stopped and left to go to school. Finney groaned in pain before getting up and reaching his hand out for me.

"Assholes" I state as I take his hand and pull myself up. "You shouldn't have come after me" he sighs. "I wasn't going to let you get jumped without a fight" I seethe as I hold my pounding head.

I slipped my knife into my bag as we all walked to school.

"Cool knife" Finn says not bothering to turn his head to look at me. "Yeah, it was Robin's" I inhale deeply as I look down at my now beat up shoes. "Oh" he says while adjusting his bag strap on his shoulder.

"Alright class, it is the day you've been dreading all semester. Frog dissection day. Uh.. pick a partner" he says as he walks around the classroom.

"Remember you will be paired with this partner for the rest of the year." He continues as everyone gets up and pairs with their friends.

I notice Finney looking around, Donna slowly stood up before making her way to Finney. "Do you need a partner?" I hear her ask while holding her binder to her chest.

I can't help but feel this type of way, like a pit in my stomach when I see him talking to her.

I quickly cut in between them and wrap my arm around Finney's "actually he's my partner, right Finn?" I ask with a fake smile plastered on my face.

"Uh yeah we're partners" he tells her. She mumbled something under her breath as she turns around and walks away.

"What was that?" He asks as we pull out our chairs to sit down. "Uh nothing" I laugh awkwardly as I pull my binder out of my bag.
