Chapter Eleven: It's Just A Game

"Are you kidding me!" I yelled at the tv. The movie was over and we were watching the Cleveland Browns game.

"It's just a game River, chill your tits." I turned my head and glared at Alex. I don't even know why he's here.

"Oh, rookie mistake Alex, never ever diss the Browns in front of River." Finn explained to Alex. I was glaring at him as though he was a piece of broccoli and I was a five year old. He shifted uncomfortably under my gaze, and I smirked, noting that I beat him.

"Switch!" Jason yelled from the kitchen and I groaned. I walked to the kitchen as he passed me to take my spot. I then started seasoning the ribs and mixing the batter for the bread.

Emma had run out to go grab some more food for our barbecue, I would have gone with her, but the game was on.

I heard shouts from the boys as I put the bread in the oven. I set the timer and then quickly ran back to the boys.

"You just missed it!" Finn patted my back as the screen turned to half time.

"No!" I fell to my knees, flour on my face.

"It's ok. Come here." Jason enclosed me in a hug but I didn't hug back, my eyes stayed in the screen.

"It's just a game." I glared at Alex and got so mad I pounced. I strangled him as he tried taking me off of him.

"Oh shit!" Jason and Finn pulled me off of him but at least I gave him a bloody nose.

"Told you to not mess with her and the Browns." Finn pointed out to Alex as he pulled me away from Alex.

"That bitch be crazy." Alex muttered ever so slightly.

"Well, this bitch wants to know why you are even here. I don't remember inviting you." I snarled. Finn tightened his grip on my arms, holding me back.

"Well, it's not your house, is it?" I ripped out of Finn's grip and punched him.

"Ok, get over here River." Finn pulled me towards Em and Jason's bedroom.

He sat me down on the bed and we stared at the door for a couple seconds, before I burst into tears.

"He reminds me so much-" Finn shushed me as I cried into his chest. He stroked my hair, shushing me.

"Don't worry." He rested his chin on my head. "It'll be ok. I'm here." He kissed the top of my head and I snuggled into him.

"Over here River!" My best friend yelled to me.

"I'm coming!" I tip toed my way to him across the train tracks.

"Look at this rock I found. It's so cool!" He cooed staring at the rock he found. It was round and great but cracked open and had crystal coming out.

"Woah! I want one!" I was in awe of the beautiful gem that I wasn't paying attention.

"Hurry up River." He raced away off the train tracks waiting for me.

"One second let me find one of my own!" I was searching through the rocks, but they started to shake.

"River!" He ran too me and hugged me as he pushed us away. My knee and arm burned from the scrape.

I looked up at him and there was a scrape on his leg and cheek. "Ow!" I hissed at the stings.

"You ok?" He asked me with worry.

"Yeah. Just a little shaken up." I was replaying he moment in my head.

He hugged me and held me close. "At least I saved you." I smiled at his cuteness.
