Truth or Dare (Jack and Finn Harries fanfiction)

Chapter 53

WARNING: YOU MAY GET ALL THE FEELS WHEN READING THIS.


As if I was six years old again, my mother had picked out my pyjamas and quietly laid them on the bed for me to dress in. When I had brushed my teeth, my mother watching every tooth being scrupulously cleaned, I had settled in to bed. The loose edges of the duvet, she had tucked tight under the mattress, making me feel almost uncomfortably claustrophobic.

"We'll talk in the morning, Liv" my mum slowly closed my bedroom door.

It was dark and I was exhausted but I was not close to sleeping. My eyes stayed fully awake to my relentless thoughts mostly surrounding the absolute WHAT THE FUCK absurdity of the situation.

The only thing I was certain of in the ocean of confusion I was drowning in was that I was not being forced to marry.

Not ever.

The phone rang three times on the other end before Finn picked up.

"Liv" His voice was so heart-breakingly sanitary that I could tell he had been informed of the forced union of Jack and I. There was no warmth or happiness in his tone.

"We need to run away, Finn, together," I was out of my bed, whispering down the phone as I ran about my room packing a small backpack.

"Get a bag together, quickly" I commanded, there was quiet on the other end of the line as I imagined Finn was waiting for more instructions.

"I can try climb out my window, like we did as kids, do you remember Finn?" I sounded desperate, and that's because I was. I was desperate for normality, I was desperate for nostalgic memories and I was desperate for a way out of this dream.

He didn't answer my question.

Was he listening at all on the other end? Was Finn even there?

I was so obsessed with the idea of running away with Finn that I carried on packing and talking to the silence on the other end of the phone.

"Finny you bring the car around but bring it a block away from my house because we don't want to be found out" I paused. "Do we Finn?" I questioned crying into the phone. I had been standing at my closet looking in at my small rack of clothes but now I was sitting on the floor in a pile of clothes that had fallen from my bag, absolutely balling my eyes out silently.

"Liv, we can't run away together" Finn steady voice spoke.

His answer confirmed my suspicions, he didn't want to run away with me.

I cried harder, I gasped between sobs as quietly as I could.

"We aren't running away, you are staying here and you are marrying my brother" His voice was calm and level. Finn had obviously expected this call. I felt tragic, how he turned me down so easily with no flicker of sadness in his voice.

"This is a good thing, Liv" he had paused and I was preparing for what I thought he would say next.

"Because, Liv, I never truly loved you and I know Jack does"

Nothing could possibly explain how much pain I was in. The only person i had I felt so at home with had become a terrifying evil stranger.

"Our relationship meant nothing to me"

That was all he said before he hung up.


AUTHORS NOTE:
