Captured (A Finchel Story)

Chapter 22

(6 weeks till graduation)
I sit with Hiram and Leroy at the same table. This situation is more than weird, its just awkward and uncomfortable.
Leroy agreed after long discussions to talk with Hiram again, just right after their divorce got official.
The first plan was that Hiram comes to his old house where Leroy and i live now but i could convince both that it would be the best to meet at a neutral place, somewhere where they cant burst out arguing about me, because this discussion is going to come, wether i like it or not. Its stupid actually because im only going to be in Lima for 6 weeks and then im going to New York.
Yes New York. I got in.
Just right after my meeting with Finn, did i see the letter and i seriously got in. I didnt tell anyone yet, not even Kitty with who i havent really been talking to since the fight between Mike and Sam.
She's been hanging around more with the popular cheerios like Santana, Brittany and Quinn, and with that she left me behind.
Mike instead has been hanging around my locker for the whole week, he turned into a worse stalker than Finn has ever been. I get that its kind of my fault since i agreed on kissing him and on noticing that i do have feelings for this boy, but that doesnt give him any permission to stalk me and not give me my much needed privacy.
Its not like that i ignore him or something else, i just try to be distanced and not look like i actually want to punch him in his beautiful face and screaming at him that i am in love with his brother.
To be fair; he really has no idea what is going on between me and Finn, even though i dont really know it by myself, so i cant really blame him on trying to get me back. Just the way how he wants me back is getting on my nerves.
As the waitress serves me my pasta i start thinking of Finn.
He told me that when i come back this week he will tell me what he did to get imprisoned.
At the thought of that my headache comes back. Its not that i dont want to know it, i seriously want to, i want to know who this boy is, but im afraid of how its going to be after he told me.
Im afraid of that it will change my thinking about him, just right after i found the nice part of FInn Hudson and not the creepy one again.
He seriously was different at my last visit, so nice and open, so like the teenage boy i imagined.
Maybe it seriously was the room which made him look more creepy and the little garden changed him.
That sounds weird and its not a good explanation at all but im happy that he was nice for one time.
And our fingers touched. It was nothing much, just a little touch, but it drove me crazy. The whole day. When i walked out, when i drove home, when i laied in my bed, even when i woke up the next day.
This little touch made me more happy than any kiss of Mike could ever do in my entire life.
I do know that i have to be careful, that i cant lose my heart to him now, not when he wants to tell me the truth about his past, that would be naive and stupid.
But the truth is that i already lost my heart to him.
My dads have been staring at each other for 30 minutes without saying a word and i dont know if its love, anger, fear or whatever.
Leroy really hates himself for the thing with his ex-love John, this boy from his old high school, but i seriously thought that after weeks of suffering on both sides, Hiram and Leroy could talk to each other like adults can after something like that happens.
But they act like teenage boys and thats annoying. I am starting to think that if i wouldnt be here both would just start punching themselves and breaking each others noses. But thank god, they don't.
I start eating my pasta even though its distracting that my dads are just staring and not talking.
Because now they are looking at me like im the pasta.
I sigh and look up to them.
"Something wrong?", i ask annoyed.
Both shake their heads.
"Oh no no no, just keep eating. We're waiting for our food." , Leroy says with a short look over to Hiram.
I raise my eyebrown. "Your food is standing right infront of you", i say sceptic. "You probably didnt notice that the waitress brought it to you 10 minutes ago."
Leroy and Hiram both look down and notice that both have a plate of pasta infront of them just like i said. "Oh", mumbles Hiram and looks down ashamed.
Leroys does the same and i can concentrate on my plate of pasta again and on my visit tomorrow.
I am going to visit Finn and i have no idea how its going to be. Is he going to be as nice as last week or is he going to be as distanced as before?
I definitely hope that it'll be the first option.
The picture Finn sent me two weeks ago is still in my purse and i look at it everyday, just smiling for a second. Of course its creepy but im enjoying it to look at it just for a few seconds.
There havent been pictures of Finn in Mike's house, at least i dont remember if there would have been. Did they take them off after whatever happened? Or did Mike take them off because of me?
That wouldnt make sense though because then he must know that i know Finn and that i visit him every week. No, they just took the pictures off. At least thats what i hope.
I look outside the window, we got a table right next to a window which im glad about, and see the rain drops fall down. Just a few weeks before i would have loved the weather because it would represent my feelings but now i want the sun to shine and a blue sky.
Thats what you do to me Finn Hudson.
My phone rings and i look at the display. Something inside me hopes that its Finn but see its the other stalker part of him.
Mike.
