When they finally got back to Auradon Finn felt a hand rest on his non injured arm. "I'll come to you in a bit ok? Don't know how to clean up wounds?" Finn shook his head. They couldn't go to a nurse since they'd want an explanation.

"Ok, just hang on for a few minutes. I've got somethings to talk to Mal about first" Finn nodded "I'll be in my dorm" Evie nodded as Finn took off to his dorm.

As soon as he opened the door to his dorm he was met with the presence of his sister. "And where the hell were you!? I've been looking for you for ages!" Finn closed his eyes at the sound of his sister's raised voice. He already had a headache.

"I was out camping with the other's" he shrugged. Guess the camping lie was still going ahead. "What the hell happened to your arm?" Finn looked down at his blood stained sleeved then back up to Bethany "I scraped it on the pole tent. Evie is going to help me clean it up. She just needs to do something first" Bethany squinted and stared at her brother for a moment until she finally nodded and actually believed his lie.

"A little warning would be nice" Finn nodded as he walked over and sat down on his bed "right, sorry" he apologised. "I was half tempted to call mom and dad. I was worried sick" a smile appeared in Finn's face "please, you'd love it" Bethany rolled her eyes "some siblings actually care for their other siblings, you know" Finn shook his head with a smile still on his face.

"Well, I've been in here hours already so I'm going to leave. Get that cleaned up quickly. Cotillion is tonight" Finn pursed his lips with a nod and salute as Bethany left his room.

He lay back in his bed and stared up at the ceiling. Although he knows he got a little injured during the fight, he still had fun. He felt alive when he fought against the pirates. It felt as if it was something he should've done a long time ago. Like it was meant for it to happen to him.

Finn sat up as he grabbed his phone from his night stand off the charger. He shit a quick text to someone to meet him in his dorm and in no longer than 5 minutes Gwen appeared through his door.

"You text?" Finn nodded. "Whatever this is" he pointed between them both. "It's done" Gwen furrowed her brows in a challenging way "I'm not going to be someone's second, third or fourth and certainly not their last choice. I deserve better than that and if you're not willing to give up those other guys to be with me tonight then I'm done. I'm not some toy you can play with whenever you want and then you just through me to the side when you get bored. I deserve better than that, Gwen" he told the girl who let out a scoff.

"And who's going to actually going to give you an ounce of what you want other than me?" She asked as she folded her arms across her chest. Finn shrugged as he let out a small wince but Gwen didn't care to notice. "I don't know. Maybe I'll never find a person who can give me what I want but I'd rather be alone and know my worth than be alone and a toy to someone who doesn't care for my feelings or doesn't care to notice the slash on my arm. I don't want that kind of person in my life and I certainly don't need it. I've wasted the only time I've had with my best friend lately just talking about you when you've done nothing but treat me like crap and I'm not doing that anymore, Gwen. So, I'm done...you know the way out" he finished.

Gwen let out a scoff in disbelief "good luck being alone and on your own tonight" and with that Gwen left the room muttering something when she was outside. Finn felt a weight being lifted off his shoulders after finally standing up for his own self.

"That was really brave of you" Finn snapped his head back up towards the door and seen Evie who was holding a first aid kit in her hand. "Dude, made me realise earlier how much I was letting Gwen walk all over me. I needed to end it before I ruined anymore friendships that I have" Evie frowned a little as she closed the door and walked over and sat beside the boy.
