In my heart (Finney Blake x reader)

Y/N P.O.V

After Finney hung up he went to the hallway in the small room and I followed him, Finney started to break some of the tiles to get to the dirt underneath. "A little help please." I went over and started to help him dig. After a while of digging the hole was pretty deep, Finney was still shovelling dirt out as I was picking it up and flushing it down the toilet. Finney jumped out of the hole and grabbed one of the tarps. "Help me roll this out." I helped him put it down and I jumped over the whole walking into the main room again, I watch Finn flop down on the bed and close his eyes, I walk over and sit down beside him. I lay down and watch his face intently, he looks very cute sleeping, I can't help but close my eyes.

*Time Skip*

I was sitting down beside Finn against the wall, I had my head on his shoulder as we both watch the phone, I heard the door being unlocked and I spring up and jump over the hole in the hallway and hide in the bathroom. "I made you some breakfast." "What did you put in that?" "Salt and pepper." I hear him giggle, I hate him, he has hurt so many people, Finney is our last hope. I hear him set down the tray. "Oh, eat it, don't eat it. You're already down here. What do I need to drug you for?" I hear him leave, but I don't hear the door lock, oh no. I hear Finney walk over to it and start to open it before I can go out and stop him the phone rings. I hear Finney gasp and speed walk over, I turn the corner and move to stand beside him. He answers the phone. "Hello?" "Dont go upstairs." "Why not?" "Its a trap." "Are youAre you Bruce?" "Whos Bruce?" "Uh, I was just talking to Bruce." "I dont know any Bruce." "Hes the baseball player." "We dont play baseball here." Finn looks at me confused and moves towards me as I see a boy behind Finn. I look back at Finn as to not alarm him. "Who are you?" "I dont remember." "Did you play soccer? Football?" "I delivered newspapers." It's Billy. "Billy...Showalter I think is his name." "Are you...Billy Showalter." "Maybe." "No, youre Billy." "Do not go upstairs." "What is he doing?" "Hes waiting on the other side with that fucking belt. He didnt say you can leave, so if you try, hell punish you. Hell beat you with that belt until you pass out." I watched Billy, I know how he feels. I'm completely overwhelmed with sadness as his sad eyes meet mine. I look over him taking note of every bruise and cut as I think about what all these boys went through. "It hurts, kid. It hurts real bad. Youll cry. Youll beg him to stop. We all did. But he just keeps beating you." I watch Billy walk over and hang up the phone then he disappears. "Hello? Hello?" Finney puts the phone back on the holder and starts to walk over to the door and starts to open it. "Finn! Finney, what are you doing!" He didn't listen he still continued up the stairs. "Finney please!" He turned around and looked at me before sighing and walking back down and closing the door, he walked past me and fell to his knees and started eating the scrambled eggs and drinking the soda. "Do you want some?" "No, I'm ok." I smiled at him he looked confused but shrugged and continued eating. Finn went to lay on the mattress again. I sat down on the mattress and moved to sit against the wall, I felt Finney move over and put his head on my lap. I didn't know what to do so I just started stroking his hair and he ends up falling asleep again pretty quickly.

*Time Skip*

After an hour or so later the phone rings, I gently nudge Finney and he gets up to answer the phone. "You said my name was Billy." "Billy Showalter." "Dont call me that." The bottle of soda starts to shake. "I dont remember it. Its not who I am now." "What do you want me to call you, then? What do you remember?" The bottle falls over. "I told you. I was a paperboy." "Okay. Paperboy." "See the wall in front of you? See how the wall is separated from the floor?" "Yeah." "I tore a long cable loose from down there. I kept it hidden." "What am I supposed to do with that?" The bottle starts rapidly spinning before standing up and pointing to the window. Me and Finn walk over to the bottle and look up at the window, I walk over to the wall Billy-I mean Paperboy was talking about and I start to pull out a long cable. I walk back over to Finney. "Give me a boost" I walk over to the window and Finney gets down on his knees, I use his position to get on his shoulders and get myself up to the window. I hook the wire around the window and jump off Finn, I give him one end of the wire and I hold the other. "Pull!" Me and Finn pull the wire but it keeps slipping out of our hands. I take my end and his tie them tightly together. "Get behind me." Finn looks at me and goes behind me, I guide his hands to the knot and I put my hands on top of his and we both pull. The window comes clattering down as do I and Finney, I land on top of Finney and quickly get up to help him up. "I'm so sorry Finn!"
