Since Finn got home this afternoon, he's been staring at me like some doctor with some horrible news, and it was getting disturbing.
I tried ignoring Finn and his uncomfortable actions and stares, we had lunch, after which we headed to the study for our assignments and projects, still Finn moved like he committed felony.
We settled on our books and got busy calculating and writing, for over 45minutes no one said a word to each other, and from the corner of my eyes, I felt stares get to me...
*Okay, what's with this guy today???, did someone in school jump off a bridge today??? Did anyone die??? Did some girl threaten him??? I'm really not getting the whole jumpy behavior*
"Finn.....you wanna talk to me about something and stop looking at me in such manner, weirdo??"
Finn only laughed in an uneasy way which made it more awkward
" I really can't get things past you sis, can I???"
" I doubt, so what's with the whole uneasy attitude, bro, you can open your mouth and speak you know" I added just to be funny of which had no effect..
"Promise not to freak out here, don't go shouting like I'm mum or dad cause I'm neither"
"Finn, what did mum and dad say after I left???" I queried, closing my textbook to focus more
" well..... Dad thinks you need therapy and he has kinda made an appointment with our family therapist already" Finn looked more than scared for my reaction as he blurted out those killing words
Like, I must be dreaming, he's joking right, he really is.....there's no way my dad would think I'm going nuts or think I'm psychologically imbalanced, this is so crazy!!!
"Hahahahaha, you kidding bro, get serious jhor and tell me what's up, you joke a lot you know"
" I wish" Finn replied still uneasy
Well, this had gone far more than a joke and he was dead serious, but I laughed, I laughed real hard and heard my laughter echo back, I looked at him and got a worried face staring back at me...
"You ain't laughing bro, I mean, this'd the part you get to laugh with me and say 'hey sis, ease up, I'm only playing, but you serious, ain't you???"
I asked again, just to be sure you know....
Finn only sighed and pulled me close in a hug, hell yes, I needed one cause hell was about to let loose this instant, tears welled up in my eyes, I hugged him in return like I never wanted to let go,like he was the old shield I had...
"You are okay sis, you are" he kept saying
My body shivered as the tears strolled down my eyes, I was giving up slowly, the tiny, slim rope I held onto was slipping off my fingers and there was nothing I could do, I couldn't scream, hold unto anything...
I gently disengaged myself from Finn and smiled, faked a smile, I meant
"They got it all figured out, so, when's the date been fixed???"
Finn stared at me in shock, "you going ain't you?....you are ganna indulge mum and dad??"
"Yes, so when?"
"Andy!!!....whats up your sleeves, let me in"
I laughed, Finn could be so paranoid sometimes, "Bro, I have no idea what you mean, I'm going, maybe I need it, maybe I'm crazy, !maybe I'm loosing it you know, so It might help pull me together, I mean, you are okay, unlike me"
Finn only shakes his head and gave me a far away look like he was in thought
"You can't be so sure about me sis...."
"Serious bro"... I interrupted, "even if you ain't, you are handling all this pretty well, allow me experience your kinda composure too, I'll take it"
He still didn't buy my innocent looks and smile..
"Andy, I'm ganna be pissed if you carry out some plan and leave me in the loop, you know that right?"
"Yes bro, I know, when I decide on anything new, I'll alert you, for now, I'm up to nothing"
"So you'll go??"
I laughed, now for real "yes bro, chill out, for the 87th time and ask no more....I'll go for it bro, I'm digging right into the idea, I will, maybe I'll get closure, quit the stares jhor, I'll be there"
"Alright sis, I didn't expect you to react this way, but I'll let you know by dawn tomorrow, you good??"
"I'm good, nothing amazes me this days, lemme get back to my project, you can ease up now"
"Lol, was I really that transparent and edgy?"
"You can't imagine bro"
I smiled at him and settled back to my assignments, well, I was shocked and tearing apart inside but quietly, I was raving mad but composed on the outside.
Finn suddenly nudged me, I turned and stared at him
"You know I got ya right, if things get crazy and you need an excuse to get away before the session is over, all you gatta do is buzz me"
"Hahahaha, I know and I will, thanks bro, but I doubt I'll be needing you, at least for the first four days"
"Okay" he smiled and I smiled in return..
*me???....therapist????, this was the height of it, this was where I could tolerate it to, this was the last of it,wao wao wao, congrats Andy, you finally crazy, go get help girl....*
Well, they wanna cure an insanity that isn't there, let's go cure some madness then.... I'll really enjoy how this is ganna turn out...
