All because I liked a boy //Finney Blake

Dreams?

                                           ~📞~

        I bursted out the door sprinting along the side walk, I could feel tears pricking at the inner corner of my eyes. I brushed them away hearing the cop sirens growing louder and louder as I got closer to Robin house.

This is a joke. He was joking right? This is all just a big prank Robin is playing to fool around with me.

As I approached his house Cops surrounded it like a swarm of bees.

I could see robins uncle talking to a detective.
I stood in front of the house not wanting to believe any of this was happening.

I just wanted to go inside to robins room to see him sitting there in frustration with his math homework...but that wasn't the case.

I felt a slight hesitant tap on my shoulder as I quickly turned around. It was finney and beside him was Gwen.

He had a saddened expression on his face and apparently so did I. Shit I was crying..when did that happen?

I could feel a tight hug around my torso.

"I'm so sorry Eleanor..I know he was your guys friend" she said with a sigh letting go

I wiped my face with my shirt.

"Don't say was...he is our friend" I said looking up at finney As he nodded with a sad smile.

"Sorry" Gwen mumbled

"Let's get out of here.." Finney said with a sigh leading us out of the investigation

As we walked kicking rocks there wasn't a single peep out of anyone.

"We should go to the park.." I said breaking the silence

Gwen and Finney looked at each other than back at me
"Sure, uh we just have to check in with our dad" Finney spoke

I nodded in response as I went back to kicking the rocks along the sidewalk almost like I was playing soccer.

As we got to the Blake house I stopped at their gate watching them walk up.

"...you coming?" Asked Gwen
"Oh uh..sure" I said following them into the house

I looked around admiring the magnets, hand turkeys on the fridge, and baby photos along the walls. I smiled at the one with 4 year old Finney holding Gwenny.

I heard a grunt as I looked over to the couch seeing their dad with a beer in his hand. At least Finney and I had at least one thing in common..low life dads.

"Hey dad uhm Gwen, Eleanor and I are going to the park...if that's ok?" Finney asked with clear fright in his voice

His father mumbled "Eleanor?...who~" he slurred taking his eyes off the television

"Uh me..mr.Blake" I said raising my hand up as a wave.

He looked over at me then to Finney and Gwen mumbling to himself again
"I don't care~" he slurred again with a burp

"Thanks daddy" Gwen said in her sweet voice
"Uhm Eleanor come with me, I'm just gonna get something" Finney said biting the inside of his cheek. I can tell he does this a lot when nervous or upset.

I followed Finney into his bedroom which was covered with space decor. I smiled observing the room. It was so cool.
The way the stars in the ceiling glistened brightly.

I saw him as he picked up a tiny bag shoving his toy rocket in his back pocket hoping for me not to see. I did.

"Your room is so cool" I said with a smile ear to ear looking around.

"Oh uh- yea thanks.." his cheeks had a pink tint to them. I think he's just embarrassed. Why else would he be blushing?

As we walked out of the house Gwen wouldn't stop talking.

"Well I think he's better because I mean have you heard his voice?!?!" Gwenny exclaimed

I chuckled softly looking down to my converse

"What?! I said what I said and I'm NOT taking it back, he's just so dreamy you know?" She stated not much like an opinion, like a statement

"Yea ok Gwen we get it" Finney laughed gripping his right hand to the strap of his bag.

"Whatever jerk face" Gwen rolled her eyes with her signature sass.

I sat myself down on the top of the monkey bars as Finney meets up there next to me. Gwen of course was playing around the slides, stairs, bars etc.

"Think their gonna find him..?" Finney asked quietly, as he looked over at me.

I paused before responding

"I don't know.."

I looked up to meet with his face. It was dark as the lamp posts were almost looking like spotlights in our faces.

We stayed just looking at each other before he ended the silence

"I think, we should all stick together...Robin wanted us to get along..I know it." Finney said in between pauses

"Yea..I think that's a good idea.." I nodded with a small smile

We got interrupted by Gwen as she climbed to the top of the bars sitting in between us panting.

"I reached my goal- I went down the slide" she spoke before taking in a big breath

"10 times, I went down 10 times!" She panted

I chuckled slightly
"And it took that much energy out of you"

"Well yeah! It's a long slide." She said placing her hands on her hips

Finney and I both laughed before everything went silent

"Hey Gwen?" Finney said
"Yeah?"
"Can- can you do that dream thing?" Finney asked hesitating before speaking

She paused
"Finn you know that's not how it works.." she replied looking down staring at her dangling legs

"Cant you just...try?" He asked again as he bit the inside of his cheek.

Gwen looked over at me and my confused face. as I opened my mouth to speak Gwen already knew what I was going to ask.

"I sometimes have these dreams that end up being..right I guess, I had a dream about Bruce Yamada one time, with black balloons and black van with this guy in a scary mask with horns. but that's all I saw really..him getting captured and the van and crap." Gwen said shrugging

Dreams?

"So your saying...one day you could have a dream about Robin..and figure something out?!" I asked with some sort of excitement in my voice.

"Well yes..but I can't just make my dreams happen, they come naturally I guess...I've already tried forcing them but it never works.."  she said sighing looking down in her lap

I nodded in response. It's almost like she has a superpower.
