!! 25 votes; new chapter !!

Its more difficult to tell Kitty about Finn than i thought. Everything already starts with ... well with the beginning. How am i supposed to explain Kitty that i do have an interest in him, in a prisoner? That he asked me questions in the cafeteria when she was with Sam? She isnt going to understand it, but man i cant judge her for it, i wouldnt understand it as well.
We sit in her room, well shes sitting on her bed, which has animal print as bed sheets as well, fitting her nails, and im standing in her door. The room of Kitty isnt too big, but it has its own bathroom and a huge closet which is almost as big as my own room at my home.
I look into Kittys patient face waiting for me to start telling her about him. Well she doesnt know that i am going to talk about him but i will.
My hands are sweating as hell and if there would be a competition about who has the most sweating hands ever then i would totally see me on first place.
"Okay Berry we can sit here for ten more hours but i seriously want to know what made you that crazy about kissing Mike, again. He cant be that bad.", Kitty speaks up and breaks our silence.
I take a deep breath and then i tell her.
I tell her about the moment when i saw him, about the emotions i felt when i looked into his eyes the first time. I tell her about the way he focused on me how he basically expected that we were gonna sit at his table. I tell her about the things he asked me, about how innocent and also dangerous he looked. I tell her about the jacket and that i was aware of that i forgot it in the prison and that i wasnt sick on the day where i didnt go to school.
I tell her about the secretary woman who handed me out the first message of Finn and that it said that he knew that i was going to come back.
I tell her about all the other messages he sent me.
I tell her about the first meeting with him, even about the weird taxi driver, and how perfect he looked through the smokey glass window, the way he held the telephone in his hand.
I tell her about our conversation, about his contacts who seemed to stalk me through the whole time, and maybe still do.
I tell her about my date with Mike and how i saw Finn, the pale face, about the way how disappointed his face was, that he didnt seem to understand what i did.
I tell her about the broken rose after i came home from the date with Mike and the text where he told me that i should never come back to the prison.
I tell her about everything, everything i know about Finn and that isnt much, sadly.

30 minutes later Kitty looks at me as pale as Finn did at the date.
On one hand it looks funny how shocked she looks but on the other hand i am just scared about what she is going to tell me now. I was calm through  the whole explanation but now as i think of the things that i said i see why Kitty looks so shocked. I seem like the next door psychic.
She stands up, holding up her hands like she wants to get even more distance between her and me.
There are a few more minutes of silence till she opens her mouth again.
"Youre kidding right?", is the only thing she says.
I shake my head, slowly because damn i wish that i would be kidding and that this was one of this stupid prank videos but its not.
Now Kitty totally freaks out. "You're telling me that youre in love with a prisoner?! MY GOD RACHEL DIDNT YOUR DADS WARN YOU ABOUT STRANGERS?!", she yells.
I bite my lip and look down. Of course they did. They are the most protective parents i ever met, it would be weird if they didnt. Their first warning came when i went into the elementary school.
"And remember Rachie; dont talk to strangers."
Fact is that i didnt talk to my classmates till second class because till then i considered them as strangers. Today i know better but it still took away a lot that i believed that everyone around me are strangers.
"Rachel you dont know who this Finn boy is! And youre telling me that you went to the prison?! That you just went there without thinking about it? Gosh he could have killed you or something!"
I did think about it. A lot. But maybe i never thought really aboout what it means to go there, i just kept thinking that hes older than me in some way.
"Rachel talk to me, now. And tell me youre fooling me or something because thats not the Rachel that i know!"
I turn away from her, fighting against the tears. Of course i knew how this would be, how this conversation would go but i hoped that Kitty would show at least a little bit understanding. Well at least how much understanding you can give in this topic.
"Why did you do this? You've got Mike and hes way better than any prisoner out there okay? So Rachel please, and i give you this advice as a friend, as your best friend: Stay. Away. From. Him."
My arms are crossed infront of my chest, and my breathing goes faster, but im not able to talk, its like my body refuses too like it wants to show me how the people are going to react when they find out what happenend in the past weeks. Its crazy and i know that, i knew that it was crazy from the beginning but Finn just made me feel different and i cant even describe in which way.
Kitty says my name again and grabs my arm, i let it happen, then she turns me around, i let it happen again and then the tears are streaming down my face, i sadly let that happen, and she hugs me, like she probably never did before in our friendship.
It feels good to have someone with who i can be that close with, i dont know what i would do without a friend like KItty, because then i would be alone and that would freak me out even more.
