It has been two months since Finn got arrested. I wouldn't go to school. I wouldn't talk to anybody. I wouldn't eat. I just stayed in my room with the door locked.
"Sweetheart, you have to eat something." My mom says from the other side of the door.
"I've tried. I just throw it back up." I hugged my pillow, wet from all of my tears.
"At least come out to see me. I haven't seen you in so long." I heard a sniffle come from her.
"You'll be grossed out by me. I smell, I look like a wreck, and you can start to see my ribs." I look down to my stomach. It hasn't accepted anything I put into it and it's starting to make me way too unhealthy.
"I could never be grossed out by you. Just please. I need to see my daughter." I sigh and stand up, walking towards the door. I opened it up. She smiled at me. "I feel like I haven't seen you in ages." She pulled me into a hug.
I had to say, hugging a pillow was a lot more comfortable than hugging a person.
"Mom." Tears started falling again. She pulled me in tighter.
"Do you want to go visit him?" She asks, stroking my hair. I nod. "Okay. Go get ready. I'll be downstairs." I nod again and go back into my room.
I didn't bother to put make up on. I just put on the Doctor Who dress Finn bought me on the first day we met. I put my hair into a ponytail. I had been growing it out longer so it was easier to put up.
I look at myself in the mirror and nod, and walk out of my room.
We get into the car and don't say a word to each other until we get there.
"Are you ready?" Mom looks at me with a grin.
"Yeah." I say, looking into her eyes.
We walk inside.
"Hi, I have Fiona Skull to meet with Finn Ways. And a Susan Skull to meet up with Hank Skull." The receptionist nods. I wasn't surprised. Mom would wait outside my door everyday when she came home. She talked about how she was going to meet up with Hank soon.
"Okay, they are both waiting for you." She gives us a happy smile as we walk away.
"Are you ready Fiona?" I nod in response.
"Are you ready Mom?" She looked down at me and took a deep breath.
"I think so." We both smile at each other as we walk in.
"Fiona..." I heard Finn speak. I flinched at his voice.
I sat down in front of him.
"I've missed you so damn much." He says and holds my hands.
"I've haven't slept in weeks. I mean, I've gotten little bits, but I haven't slept a full night. I can't eat either. This dress used to be tight on me, now it's almost too big." I look over to the side of me and see mom talking with Hank. It looked like it was going well with them.
"When is your birthday?" He asks. I look him in the eyes for the first time.
"August 27th." I say. He nods his head.
"It's March, so you should be turning 18 soon." I nod my head.
"I'm not going to college. They all rejected me. Plus I haven't gone to school at all in a couple of months." He looked down. We had a couple minutes of silence, but he broke it with a chuckle. I make a small smile.
"I missed your laugh."
"I'm remembering when I kissed you for the first time. It's funny. It seems like it was so long ago." I smile and nod.
"She's smiling." I heard my mom say. I turn my head to see that she was looking at me. "Maybe he really does make her happy." She looked at him.
"Well, she made me very happy. And I'm glad I spent as much time as I could with her."
