Abby POV:
They were in our room, in our bed, watching movies with us. I would say that I was dreaming but I know I am not because Finn keeps playing with my hair and the feeling lets me know that I am awake. We were watching ‘She’s the Man’ because there was nothing else good on On Demand and Alexis and I loved this movie! I looked over at Alexis to see her and Jack sitting on her mom’s bed. Jack was watching the movie but Alexis wasn’t, if you looked at her you might think she was because she was looking at the screen but she wasn’t. I knew Alexis better than anyone and this look on her face was a clear indication that at this moment she is thinking badly of herself. I could read it on her face and I had to get her to stop. I was lying on Finn’s chest and I really did not want to get up, I looked back at Alexis and it was getting worse. I finally got up and walked over to Alexis; I grabbed her hand and walked into the bathroom. I closed and locked the door behind me and turned the fan on so the boys couldn’t hear us. “What’s wrong?” I asked her. She didn’t answer at first but then she finally gave in knowing we were not going anywhere until she told me.
“It’s just you and Finn look great together and are happy while I feel like Jack doesn’t even want to be here. I feel like he is only here for Finn.” Alexis explained whilst she played with her hands.
“What are you talking about Alexis? Haven’t you seen the way he looks at you? He is totally into you, maybe he is just nervous.” I said grabbing her hands. She looked up into my eyes and I could see the pain in her eyes.
There was a secret about Alexis that not a lot of people knew. She hated herself. I don’t know why but I think it is because of living in her mom’s image. She felt like she was never good enough for anyone. Not a lot of people can tell but I can. She used to cut and still has scars on her thighs from where she used to cut and with my help she stopped. But there was something deep down in her that still hated who she was. But one thing was for sure, I loved her and I was never leaving her, no matter what.
I finally pulled her into a hug after I saw a tear fall from her eye. I stroked her back as she cried.
“You go back out to Finn and Jack, I am fine.” She said pulling away from me. I could tell she was far from fine and I am not leaving her alone now.
“No I am staying here with you until I know you are okay.” I said standing in front of the door. She rolled her eyes and put her head in her hands. I heard someone knock on the door but I ignored it. I was watching Alexis closely, making sure she wasn’t going to break down or anything. She finally stood up and rolled her head around and I hear a couple knots crack in her neck. She looked up at me and gave a nod indicating that she was ready to head back out. I quickly pulled her into a hug and then opened the door.
The boys were standing a few inches from the door when I opened it. I first saw Finn then Jack behind him. They both looked really worried and all I could think was ‘Awe! They were worried about us. Yay!’
I grabbed Alexis hand and moved around Finn into the room. I sat Alexis down on her mom’s bed and made her look up at me.
“What is our favorite YouTube video?” I asked smiling down at her. I knew the boys were watching us but I didn’t care. Alexis was going to smile whether she liked it or not.
“What?” She asked confused.
“What is our favorite YouTube video?” I repeated.
“Uh, Twin Mail 3, why?” She answered, I heard the suspicion in her voice and I was already getting excited.
“Why is that our favorite video?” I asked with a big grin on my face. She caught on to what I was saying and a smile emerged on her mouth. At the same time we both threw our hands up and yelled “I AM FINN!” Alexis and I were laughing so hard that we ended up on the floor and all we could say was the beginning of the video over and over again then yell I AM FINN!
After a bit we both stood up and wiped the tears that were in our eyes away. It was a quite for a second when Alexis said in the cutest voice ever “It’s a big monster.” Then we busted out in laughter again. This is how we were. We were crazy and we didn’t care.
We finally calmed down after about 5 minutes. We wiped our happy tears away and walked over to the mirror in the bathroom to make sure we still looked okay. We fixed our hair and cleaned up our face a bit letting little giggles escape our lips every now and then. We walked out to see the boys sitting on the beds. I walked over and sat next to Finn and Alexis sat herself on the desk in front of Jack. Finn was staring down at me and I was looking up at him when I glanced over at Jack. He was staring at Alexis with such… love. She didn’t notice because she was over in Alexis land but I smiled to myself knowing that Jack was staring at her like that.
I looked back up at Finn who was smiling down at me. I felt my face turn bright red and I looked down biting my lip. He lifted my chin up and looked me in the eyes. Then he kissed me. This kiss sent shivers down my spine and I think I heard fireworks going off somewhere. It was amazing. When he pulled away my lips were still tingling from the kiss. I knew my face was bright red, but not because I was embarrassed but because I was happy. I was really happy.
