The Dysfunctional

Chapter 13: Confess

            Damnit. How did he find out.  My eyes widen, then I feel my face scrunch up. Damn. It's because we're alike isn't it?  "Stella, you can't hide anything from me," He said sweetly in my ear. "Guys! It's going to rain!" I heard Clark yell as she ran up to the scene. "Oh, getting some action I see Stella?" I can instantly feel my face get hot. "N-no! ugh Clark! we're not like that!" I struggle to speak. "Oh, so what you you like then?" God she asks so many questions. "Hm. we all know you like him Stella, but dear god woman, you need to do a better job of hiding it. You blushing all the time really doesn't help your situation," she said with a smirk and narrowed eyes. Feeling the last of the water drip off, we all sit outside and watch the sun set. Finch had let Pazzo and Sebastian out to get some air and play, but they sat with us. Clark looked directly in the scenery of the lake.

                 I looked over at Finch. He looks so calm, and his hair looks brown in the light. He turned his head and gave a light chuckle. "What?" he said with a soft smile. I couldn't help but smile back. He has dimples when he smiles... "Nothing!" I say laughing back. He looked at me for a second. "I've never heard you laugh before," he said quietly, turning back around. Bringing his knees to his chest, he spoke again, turning to face me again. "So, as I was saying, you're secret, I know it stella," he said turning back to see the view. I didn't even turn to speak to him. "And just what might that secret be?" I held my breath, waiting for an answer, my body was tense. "You're afraid of loud thunder, aren't you?" I was so relieved that it was that secret, and not the much deeper secret I held. "Not really, but when it's really close and pouring rain it tends to frighten me," I could see the redness of the sunset get taken over by the dark clouds rolling in. "Hm," was his only reply, with his mouth curved into a slight smile.

                             "We should probably get inside," Clark said, bringing herself to her feet. Finch had agreed, helping me up as well. I grab Finch's grey hoodie, and take it into the camper with us. I changed in my room, Clark changed in the tiny bathroom next to the living room, and Finch changed in the living room. I looked at the small analog clock on the wall. 7:54. I sigh and slide on a pair of shorts and Finch's grey hoodie. Taking in the lavender scent, I relax. 

            I can hear the door quietly open. "Hey," Clark said quietly, but still looking at me. "Hey what's up?" I smile at her. she sits down, but we never break eye contact. "Yes, of course," on the small bed, she sits across from me. acting hesitant, she asks her question. "what do you see Finch as?" she asks nervously. Although, she has no reason to be nervous. I can feel the heat rise in my cheeks. "What do mean?" The sweat breaks, and fills my hands. "Like romantically. Do you like him?" again, she asks so many questions. However, she is my best friend. "Well, I mean we kind of live together..." She arches an eyebrow. "Oh, so you guys are like that?" I can feel  my eyes widen at the thought of what she's thinking. 'No! it's just well...In the short time I've known him," I look out of the bedroom window to see Finch tripping and falling on his face, at an attempt to catch Sebastian. "I guess you can say I have developed feelings for him," my shoulders relax, telling someone about this has really relieved stress. Clark's eyes narrow, and a mischievous grin spreads across her face. My stomach is filled with fear, I know what she's thinking. "C-Clark! don't you dare!" I yell frantically. She stands up and raises her hands to her shoulders. "Stella, this is the first guy you've ever been interested in. You need the full experience," Running out of the room, I follow her into the living room. I grab her ankles and she falls, however, I result in the same fate. She quickly gets up, but I bring her to the floor, and pin her down with my hip. "Don't. You. Dare. I will mutilate you in your sleep Clark," although my face was inches from hers, the front door of the camper opens, revealing Finch holding my two cats. Setting them down, he joins the conversation. "Stella, I didn't know you liked Clark," his words were surprised. "Well, actually Finch, Stella likes-" I cut Clark off. I was never so careless to save my own ass. "Yes I do!" The room was now silent. "You sexy beast," I say whilst poking Clark in her face. Her face was filled with disgust, as she shoved me off. Finch's face was hinted with a sense of sadness. "well, if that's what you want," he finished while setting the cats down and walking into the bathroom. I really had hoped he didn't take this seriously.

             "Goodnight Clark" I said with a smile from the small bedroom. "Night," she replied, pulling her fuzzy blanket on top of her. I walk into the bathroom, seeing the shirtless body of Finch brushing his teeth. "Hey, he said with a mouthfull of toothpaste. As he spit his toothpaste out and rinsed, he threw the towel over the curtain bar. He turned slightly with a smile on his face. "You gonna keep staring? Or do you see something you like?" I turned around, and brushed my own teeth. "Tch," was all I replied with. I could feel his eyes gazing on me, so with a nozal tone, I mocked him. "You gonna keep staring? Or do you see something you like?" I could see, out of the corner of my eye, the smallest gasp escape his lips, and his face was dusted a light shade of pink. "Some stuff happened...I don't want to talk about it!" His response was random, but it got him out of answering the question. Walking out, and into my room, I could hear him get in bed. 

              I followed, and brushed my hair. Leaving it down, I turned off the lights and decided to let my hair loose. Turning to say goodnight, I could see Finch was already sound asleep. I decided to follow his actions, and try to sleep. Although, I could already tell, this night was going to repeat lastnight. In other words, this will yet again, be another sleepless night.
