I'd just like to start off this chapter by saying thank you. Thank you to everyone who has starred, commented, or just reading this book. I honestly thought no one would be reading this, and it makes me so happy see that people are. Thank you so much, it means a lot.

"Hey there Lily." Poe said giving a nervous smile.
"It's Lila, Ms.Lila. Now get out of my way."
Finn glanced at Poe to Ms.Lila and back again. Poe showed no sign of budging and neither did Ms.Lila.
"I'm just here to help and to support my friend," he gestured to Finn. "I'll stay here."
"Don't challenge me Poe."
With that Ms.Lila tackled Poe to the floor, both wrestled on the ground.
"Stop, Poe stop it," Finn yelled.
"F you Poe, you owe me that money, and I still don't have it in my hands!" Ms. Lila screamed.  She may have looked small, but her strength was great.
"It was 6 years ago! For a new flight suit! I'm sorry, I'll pay you back." Poe face revealed a small cut due to Ms. Lila's punches.
Poe raised is arms, ready to push her off, but in a surge of strength, something happened. Finn stood up, grabbed Ms. Lila and threw her off Poe.  Both stopped and stared in amazement of what had just happened.
"Finn, your-your standing." Poe stood up to get level with him.
Finn looked down at his feet, something didn't click.
"I-I guess I am." And a surge of pain went from his back down to his knees, which buckled, and Finn toppled over.
"Finn!" Poe yelled, catching his dear friend, holding him in a position that looked much like a dip.
"I'm fine just get me to the bed."
"You aren't fine Finn."
Ms. Lila got up and grabbed Finns feet, lifting him up a little.
"You're back isn't healed yet, you shouldn't have done that that."
"Then you shouldn't have pounced on my friend." Finn said back.
Poe and Ms. Lila lifted Finn onto the bed.  Finn felt that feeling in his chests when he caught a glance of Poe's face.  He looked genuinely worried, and kept fidgeting with Finns covers trying to get him comfortable.  Ms. Lila took a few steps back towards the door.
"I think we are done for today Finn, Poe I want my money." She made the 'I've got my eyes on you' gesture and stepped out.
"Not very professional," Finn exclaimed trying to make his friend smile.
Poe sat down in a chair next to the bed, not smiling.
"You shouldn't have done that Finn, why did you?"
"I don't know, trying to help I guess."
"I had it."
Finn gave a small chuckle. 
"Sure, it just sorta happened.  You- you're bleeding."
Poe raised a hand to his cheekbone, wiping a bit of blood off, and stared at it for a second.
"I've had worse, like the crash."
"The first time we met."
Poe smiled.
"The first time we met, for about 15 minutes. And Finn was created."
"Finn blank was created."
"I told you last names are easy."
Finn grinned, his chest seemed to be thumping louder and louder.
"Maybe with your help?"
Poe's face got red, something was different about Finn compared to other people Poe had met.  He seemed, gosh, I can't put a word on that, Poe thought.  He cared about Finn a lot, but couldn't find a word to describe it.  Everything was different around him.
"Sure, I'll help."
