Finney has a problem.

He, for whatever reason, can't stand up for himself. Both emotionally and physically. He HATES this fact about himself.

But now, is when he needs to stand up for himself more than ever.

Earlier today when he hung out with Bruce, Robin, and Vance, he told himself he would do it. He told himself he'd confront Bruce about how he had ignored him for months then suddenly he was friendly again as if nothing had ever happened.

But Finney simply couldn't bring himself to do it, especially in public, and even more so with their close friends around.

So he told himself he'd wait till later that night, that's what he was doing right now.

His phone clenched in his right hand, his left gripped to his knee, Finney thought about how he would go about executing this plan.

Would he just be straight forward about it? Call him out? Would he hint at it? FINNEY. DIDN'T. KNOW.

Finney didn't want to lose a friend tonight.

He didn't want to lose his best friend.

He felt manipulated, out of the loop. Why did Bruce do this?

Was he making this.. a big deal?

Whatever, time to shoot his shot.

Time to be brave, have some courage, Finney!

Finney 9:34PM:
hey

Bruce 9:35PM:
🙂👋⚾!

Finney 9:35PM:
Can we talk?

Bruce 9:36PM:
Oh ya, definitely! 🙂 Whats up?

Here is where Finney had lost all courage he had before this conversation, he could feel his confidence sink into himself, he let out a sigh, putting his phone on the bed under him.

'I can't do this' I thought to myself. But I could. I will do this.

I picked my phone up again, taking a deep breath before begining to type.

You 9:38PM:
Can we talk in person?

Shit! This isn't what I meant! Why can't I just.. get this over with?!

Please say no, please say no.

Bruce 9:39PM:
Totally! 🙂

Well shit.

Bruce 9:40PM:
How about I pick you up after school? We can get coffee!

You 9:40PM:
sounds great:)

That in fact, didn't sound great at all. I always do this! I always postpone shit that needs to happen like, NOW!

Whatever, no going back now.

I put the phone on my bedside table, turning off my lamp.

I rested my head down on my pillow, closing my eyes.

Tomorrow, here I come.
