I Friend Zoned Finn Harries

Chapter 8 - Hungry

I could feel the early morning sun burn my face waking me up. I slowly opened my eyes only to have the light burn my eyes. "Fuck" I mumbled to myself sitting up and rubbing the tired and fire out of my eyes all while letting out a loud yawn. When I moved my hands and looked around my room the first thing i noticed was nobody was here to wake me up which I should have been happy about but for some reason I wasn't.

I got up and walked over opened my door to find the hallway vacant as well. I practically tripped over my own feet as I made my way down stairs to even find my parents gone. As i walked into the kitchen I could there was note on the counter.

"Your mother and I have gone out for the day.

See you tonight.

-Dadx"

I let out a sigh as I folded the note and sat it back where I found it. I tapped my nails on the hard counter top trying to find out what I was going to do. Then there was a knock at the door and I walked over to "Who is it?" I shouted. "Jack" I heard back and I unlocked the door letting Jack in and shutting the door behind him.

"Sorry but I couldn't stay there with, them" he fussed pulling his hands out of his pockets and unzipping his jacket. "What do you mean?" I asked walking into the kitchen and Jack following close behind me. "All she every does is complain and nag and i'm so sick of her bullshit" he confessed and I raised an eyebrow.

"So let me get this straight" I questioned sitting on one of the stools at the island "You don't like her either?". He laughed "Even when you were friends I couldn't stand her" he said making me remember that at one point she was my friend, hell my best friend. And now it feels like shes my worst enemy.

"Do you know why she hates me" I asked and Jack paused before he shook his head and I let out a sigh. "I wish i knew" I said rubbing my forehead and Jack laughed walking over to me. He hugged me tight before pulling away "You don't want to be friends with that bitch anyway" he whispered making me laugh. 

"Well enough about her, want some breakfast?" I asked and getting up and walking over the counter and grabbed the box of cereal that was left out. "Sure" he agreed moving over beside me and grabbing two bowls out of the high cabinet. He put them down and I filled one half way and the other to the rim of the bowl.

"You always eat an ungodly amount of food" I jokingly said walking over to get the milk "So" he added making me cackle. "Your laugh was always ugly" he shot back and I acted offend putting my hand over my mouth "How dare you!". We both laughed as I walked back over sitting the milk on the counter.

Then there was a knock at the door again "I'll get it" Jack said and i nodded starting to pour the milk into my bowl. Since my mum wasn't around to scold me I hoped up onto of the counter and started eating. Then Jack along with Finn and Beth walked into the kitchen and I rolled my eyes looking down into my bowl of colorful O's.

"Hey" I heard Finn say and I waved still not looking up as I shoveled a spoonful into my mouth. Jack walked over and grabbed the milk pouring it into his bowl. "Her" he mumbled so low I almost didn't hear him, but I did and elbowed him in his arm. "What's up" i said finally looking up to at them as I tapped my spoon on the edge of the bowl.

"Just coming over to hang" Finn said as Beth pushed closer towards him. "And that my mum is inviting you and your folks over to dinner tonight" he added and I nodded "I'll be sure to tell them". I looked back into my bowl and moved my cereal around.

"You alright" Finn asked and I nodded "Just great".

I sat my bowl down on the counter and hopped off then took another spoonful in my mouth. "Hungry?" I heard Beth ask and my jaw dropped "What the hell are you saying" I started but Jack grabbed my hand. "No" I said taking my hand back "Get out of my house" I demanded and her eyes grew wide. "Holly" Jack said pushing me a little and I rolled my eyes "I'm not in the mood for this today so Beth, get OUT" I said a bit louder making Jack back away from me.

She look up at Finn and he looked between the two of us. "Go back home and I'll be there in just a second" he said and I could see the anger build up inside her, I couldn't help but smile. "Look-" Finn tried to say grabbing her hand but she pulled it away and stormed off slamming the door shut behind her. "That was fun" i said finishing the last bit of cereal out of my bowl.

"Why would you do that?" Finn asked walking towards me "Do what?". He let out a sigh "Yell at her like that" he said and I rolled my eyes "Look. She insulted me, hell she does it all the time, you know it" I said stepping closer to him. "She's never yelled at you" he said and shook my head "You don't get it do you!" I said louder then normal. "She hates me!" I blurted out "And I have no idea why but she does! And it pisses me off" and I stopped trying to calm down.

"You don't even like her Finn" I said and Finn looked confused "What do you mean of course I like her". I laughed in his face "No you don't" I said "You are always ditching her and you even said you can't stand her!" I could see the anger in his green eyes "No you got it wrong" he started.

"I can't stand you!" 

I was taken back as he looked over my head at Jack "I'm leaving" he said turning around and walking out the door. I could feel all the anger in my body boil as he slammed the door shut "Whatever" I mumbled looking back at Jack. "I should go" he said drinking the last bit of milk out of the bowl "Whatever" i said again. "See you tonight" he said placing a brotherly kiss on the top of my head and jogging out of the house and shutting the door. "Maybe you won't" i said to myself playing the bowls in the sink.
