Another month gone by.

I was sleeping more, and food was finally going down and not coming back up. And I spent more time with my mom.

"You've been so much happier lately. I mean, not as happy as you were, but happier than you've been lately." Mom says to me at the dinner table.

"Yeah. I feel like that meet up with Finn really helped." A frown came upon her face. "What's wrong?"

"When your father and I talked that day.... he said that he was going to be getting out of jail soon. And he asked if he could stay with us for a while." Tears start forming in my eyes. No. Not that. Anything but that.

I stood up and ran into my room, slamming the door and locking it. I fell on my bed.

"I will never forgive Hank for what he did to me!!! And if he does come back, I'm never going to forgive you either!!!" I yell, making sure Mom heard me.

Hours later, I hadn't come out of my room. I heard a faint knock on the door.

"Fiona. I'm going to visit your father to tell him no. Would you like to come with to visit Finn?" I could tell from her tone of voice that she had been crying.

"Sure. Just let me get ready please." I stand up, looking through my dresser to find a reasonable outfit. I finally found my white sweater and jeans. I took my current clothes off and put the other ones on me.

I walk out the door and down the stairs to see mom with the keys. She smiles as she sees me, but I don't return the smile.

"I'm sorry I even considered having him stay." I ignored her. She sighed, knowing I wasn't going to respond.

When we get to the jail, Mom put our names in and walked into the room to meet them.

"You're back." Finn grins as he sees me. I give him a small smile.

"How much longer do you have in here?" I ask. He narrowed his eyes.

"At least 10 years. Maybe even more."

"Finn?" I say to get his attention.

"Yes, Fi?"

"Do you still love me?" I could tell my mother heard this. Finn looked me in the eyes and grabbed my hands.

"Of course I do. And I will wait 10 years if I have to to be with you again. I promise." My mom looked over to us, and nodded at my dad. I didn't know what she was nodding about, but it made me worried.

"Visiting hours are over" I heard a cop say. Finn didn't break eye contact. He looked at me until he was forced to turn his head.

"I love him Mom." I say. A tear rolls down my cheek.

"I know you do sweetheart."

(FINN'S POV)

"Hey, Finn." I heard Hank say from the other jail cell.

"Hm?" I responded.

"Susan and I have been talking, and we have a plan. Don't worry, you'll see my daughter again soon."
