19. Good Day?

I was walking downtown, near the police station at this time of the day. I didn't have anything else to do and being home was literally going to kill me due to boredom. I needed some fresh air and I didn't think there was a better place than the pier to get it. Of course, since the day that Aiden came to the house to tell me that my life was in danger, I would look around a lot more than I was used to doing, but I didn't seem to mind it at all.

It was supposed to be a good, sunny day and when I walked into the police station that day, I was thinking about asking Aiden (it was still kind of hard to think of him that way, even though I know it doesn't seem like it) to walk with me, but it seemed that someone had beat me to it. There was this girl in the shortest skirt I had ever seen that was making googly eyes at him. She was all up in his face. I guess the good thing was that she wasn't showing her boobs all over him because I would lose in that department.

My blood was boiling and I wanted that girl to drop dead on the floor. I don't think I've ever been more ashamed than I was now. All I could think about was Aiden taking that girl out on a date and taking her to the places that he had taken me and ugh!! I needed to stop thinking about this.

"If looks could kill, she would have been underground fifteen minutes ago." Finn said from behind me, completely scaring me out of my skin.

I turned to look at him. "Shut up. There's nothing out there that needs to be dead."

He chuckled as he looked at me. "Sure. What are you doing here anyway?"

"I need some fresh air. My siblings are practically keeping me hostage in my own home and I was about to die of boredom. So instead of dying of boredom, I decided to come here because the only place that I could think of that I would be okay, was here. I mean not in the police station, but at the pier."

"Okay. So what does the pier have to do with you being in here?"

"I wanted some company so I came in here and I thought well, I know a police officer. And seeing as how I've been warned to stay alert what better way to stay alert than to bring a police officer with me?"

He shook his head as he smiled. "You're a weird one, Natalia. I hope you know that."

"Oh, trust me, I know. I guess it's hereditary, 'cause my siblings are also weird."

"Just wait for me. I'll be back out in a sec."

"Alright. I'll wait here patiently."

I went to sit in one of the chairs that were lined against the wall. There was really nowhere else to sit. And I didn't want to stand out by standing up, looking like a lost puppy. So, there was that. 

Finn came out after a few minutes, and he nodded at me signaling that he was all ready to go. I wasn't going to deny that I got a little excited when he was coming towards me, but it was not for the reason that you think. I had been wanting to go to the pier since even before today. But that was the day that I had discovered the truth behind my fiancé. That was bound to set you off track.

"Ready?" he asked me.

"I was born ready." I said to him, my excitement was even more apparent now than it had been five seconds ago.

We left the station and walked out the same way that I had come in.

"Where are you going with Finn?" Aiden asked me when he saw me.

"You told me to be careful. So I'm taking a police officer with me. He knows what to do in case danger appears out of nowhere, right Finn?"

He looked at me and then back at his best friend and just nodded before looking away again and pretending to be interested in a crack on the sidewalk. He was looking at it like it was the biggest masterpiece that he had ever seen.
