If I got locked away..

Y/n

"Well that's the last of it." Jack says while Xavier places down another suitcase in the living room, whilst I.. well, taped the boxes.

Malu sat by me, leaning against my shoulder as I sat on the floor. Ever since getting out of prison with no fucking criminal record, it left a weight on my head

Not only was I framed but it took almost a year for them to realize I was innocent. Yet they still don't know that sam fucking did it. So here I am, packing up my things so I can get the hell out of this country again.

"Babe are you sure you want to go through with this move?" Jack asked, kneeling down to both of us. I hummed and taped the last box, setting it on the bigger one. "Because if you don-"

"Im sure Jack. I wanna get out of here."

Jack threw his hands up in defense and stood back up. "I'll just go put the left over boxes in the trash downstairs." Xavier informed but I stopped him. "I'll do it, i need air anyways."

Yeah, being locked up in a cell for almost a fucking year will make you always want to be outside. "Mama can I come with you?" Malu asked with her beady eyes. I smiled down at her and patted her cheek.

"You stay up here. Daddy and Xavier will watch you." She frowned and dropped her head. She's sorta been attached to me since I got back. "When we get back I'll play Sky Whale with you."

Her smile immediately returned and she started jumping up and down chanting her favorite game. "Alright you little rascal let's go watch some tv." Xavier took her hand and the walked over to the living room.

Jack turned back to me and placed his hands on his hips. "Are you sure you want to go down there alone?" His tone of voice sounded like he was worried. Which is what he's been this entire week.

"I'm fine Jack, the police aren't gonna arrest me just for throwing away a few boxes." I stood up and started picking up whatever empty box was just laying around. "Maybe I should go with you."

"Jack."

"Okay- okay. You make the rules."

I muttered and made my way outside to the elevator, hearing Jack call from a distance. "If you need help just call me!" I rolled my eyes and stepped into the elevator.

Once I made it outside, I took a deep breath in an out. Fresh air. You can only have so much of it. Whilst I was walking towards the garbage disposal store I noticed a very familiar car in the parking lot.

When I noticed who's car it was, and who came out, I almost dropped all the boxes flat on the floor. He immediately noticed me and I've never seen a man look so shocked in my life.

He stood there.. staring at me as if I'd drastically changed. Over the year, the same way he looked at me when I showed up at his doorstep. Except this time, he looked more relieved.

I didn't. I don't even want to see him. So I huffed and kept walking. "Wha- y/n!"

I kept on walking, ignoring his calls for me until I felt a hand turn me around. "What Finn?!" I snapped. I think I startled him there for a second but he proceeded anyways.

"I wanna talk to you."

"I didn't do it. If that's what you want to ask."

Finn shook his head and approached me. "I know you didn't." I silenced myself from saying anything else and listened to what he had to say.

"I know you were framed, klaus said everything. And Sam she- she confessed, the day you were arrested." My eyes diverted from his and to the silver ring on his finger, it was blinding.

"Whats that?" I asked him, gesturing over to his right hand. Finn sighed and picked his hand up, showing it to me in plain sight. A wedding ring.

"I won't lie to you. It's exactly how it looks like." He then dropped hand in a very lazy manner. "You're marrying that psychopath.." I whispered. Still looking at his hand.

"Listen it's because-"

"You knew. You fucking know she's the one who shot our son and put me behind bars an you're still going to marry her?"

"Y/n please-"

"NO!"

My voice caused him to jump back a little, I was so angry I couldn't see properly let alone think properly. I threw the boxes down to god knows where and tried to compose myself.

"You knew, and you still had me arrested. You did nothing about it for the entire fucking year, and you know you have custody of klaus and you're gonna allow that fucking maniac to walk around him like she didn't almost take his life?!"

"It's because I wanted you and klaus safe, she threatened to kill both of you if I didn't agree to her sick plan!"

I could almost laugh but I stopped myself and clasped my hands together. Pacing around on this large yet very small area. "He's never going to be safe as long as he's around her. Whatever her fucking name is now."

"Believe me y/n if I could take him and you to get the hell out of here I would."

"But you're not. And honestly I can't handle this anymore." My eyes finally let out the tears it's been holding back in this entire time.

"If me being here is causing problems then I don't want to continue living like this, I can't physically handle this anymore. I came back wanting to be closer to my son and you but I've never felt so far."

Finn got closer to me and put his hands on the sides of my face. "I'll figure out a way. We'll be together again, just please don't leave." I shook my hand and took his hands off my face.

"You remember that song.. we used to play it on repeat back in 2018."

"Locked away. Of course how could I forget."

"Forget me Finn."

I've never seen so much terror in a man's eyes before just from 3 words.  "W-what."

"Look at the irony, I got locked away, we almost lost klaus-"

"But I still love you the same!"

I let out a pained laugh and looked down "That's the problem. I don't want to continue this, maybe it was for the best that I just stayed away from you."

Finn looked like he was about to break down, fall apart right in front of me. I love this man and it took everything in me to walk away from him and back to my apartment building. Because if I stayed there a minute longer, I'm afraid I would want to stay.

"Y/n!"

"Security keep him out."
