Change from Cole's point of view to Fin's point of view

Fin's text to Quinn and Luke

Quinny, Lukey.
What you said really hurt.
The fact that you kept such a big secret from me, I thought that you guys were better than that. I would never, ever do that to you guys. I don't know what I did to deserve that.
Luke, I know you tried to tell me that Jimmy was bad, but keeping it a secret that he cheated on me? You could've told me and just said, "I told you so", but no.
Quinn, I thought I knew you better than that. I went to your house crying over Cole and you this is how you repay me? You were there for me over something that I didn't have, and then you kept the terrible secret of cheating from me.
You both have broken some serious trust from me and it is going to take a while to get it back. I'm seriously disappointed. As your sister, your friend, your blood, I thought you both knew better than to let something like this happen to me. We're supposed to stick together as siblings. Not keep secrets that tear us apart.
I do forgive you, but like I said before, you need to earn my trust back. I will not forget that this happened.
I love you both a lot, and I'm sorry that this had to happen.
From, Finley

I couldn't even press send myself. I had to have Cole do it for me.

"Thank you for helping me with this, I just hope that everything will be ok at dinner tomorrow."

Cole looked at me with a sad smile, before pulling me into a hug.

"I'm sure they will be honey, everything will be ok. Now help me pick out an outfit, I don't know what to wear and I want to impress your parents."

"Why would you want to impress my parents, you've seen them hundreds of times."

Cole just sighed, "I know. This time is different though."

I didn't push on the subject, and just helped him pick out an outfit.

Going through his suitcase, I see that he brought a button up shirt, and some black dress pants.

That little shit. He knew that he was gonna go to the dinner and he already put clothes in here.

"Cole Caufield get your ass in here right now!" I yelled to Cole who was downstairs getting some Gatorade.

He ran up the stairs so fast it sounded like an entire herd of elephants was in the house. Bosco was on his tail seeing what was going on.

"Yea, what's going on? Are you ok? Did Quinn or Luke get back to you?" He put his hands on his knees to catch his breath

"1. Yes I'm fine, 2. No. 3. You're an athlete and there aren't that many stairs. Why are you out of breath? And also- hey buddy- did you already know that you were coming to my parents house for dinner tomorrow? Cause you already have an outfit here and you do not wear stuff like that normally."

Bosco sat on my feet as I addressed Cole. He just looked at me with wide eyes.

"I- well- yea, ok, fine. I knew that I was gonna go to dinner. In my defense, Jack asked me if I would."

"Of course he did."

"What's that supposed to mean?!"

"I don't know!"

"Hey, I wanted some of your moms cooking ok! Don't blame me for loving some of mama Ellen's ham."

I slapped his arms and pushed him down onto my bed.

"Cole Caufield! Are you just friends with me and my brother so you can get to my mom?!"

"She didn't tell you?! We've been fucking for the past six months!"
