Together for now / Finn Wolfhard

Part 2 / Ending last chapter

It has been an entire week since the book convention and I'm almost done with the book Finn bought me. I decided to read the one I bought since it was shorter than the other one. I finished the book I bought in less than two days. After reading the book, I went right away to reading the one Finn got me.

He was right, it's an amazing book. It's a love story between a vampire and a human. It's like reading The Vampire Diaries but better. I love how it really explains her emotions to a cruel creature like him, but she ended up changing him for the better. I have just read the last sentence of this book and I'm blown away. This has to be one of my favorite books to ever been made. Part of me is glad Finn bought me this, but I have saved up to pay him back if I ever see him again.

He was a great guy, but there was mystery to him. It was odd for him to be wearing dark glasses and almost all covered up in a book convention when everyone in there was excited and happy to see one another. Or maybe he had the cold and he was cold from the weather?

"Alison! My flight should be leaving soon, come down and eat dinner!" my mother shouted. I sigh as I put the book away in my drawer. I put my hair up and open my bedroom door. I bump into my brother Cameron and we both race down the stairs and into the dining room.

"I always win," he laughed. I playfully punch him and we both sit with mother.

"Here you go," Mother said, putting my plate in front of me. I begin to eat with Cameron while she continues to pack her suitcase.

"How long are you staying in Virginia?" Cameron asked mother.

"I'll be there for about four days, if not maybe an entire week," she responded.

"I'm trusting you in looking over Alison, Cameron" Mother continued.

"Mother, I'm not a little girl anymore. I can take care of myself," I scoffed.

"I know you can, sweetheart. Cameron is over eighteen and you're still under age, you know what I meant," she said. I nod in response and continue to eat.

"I'll let you have your friends over," Cameron whispered with a wink. I just laugh and shake my head.

"You know the only friend I have is Sarah," I whispered back.

"Then Sarah can sleep over any day this week," he said in a low voice.

We both continue to eat and Mother kisses us goodbye.

"You call me if anything, Cameron. I'm leaving you guys enough money for an entire week, okay? Use it wisely" she said. I hug her goodbye and she leaves to her Uber driver. We wave as the car leaves on it's way to the airport.

My mother is almost always away so it's nothing new. She's home about two weeks a month. I'm use to her leaving both my brother and I alone in this house. I miss her most of the time, but I also understand since she's a single mother. My father abandoned us about eleven years ago. I was only five years old and my father vanished from my life. He left a letter and promised to come back one day, but it's been more than a decade and he's still not here. We began to have financial problems at first since we lived in a very rich neighborhood. My father was the chief of the police and my mother is obviously still a lawyer. We were stable and happy with one another, but my father decided to leave us at such young age.

Cameron grew up having a hard time with our mother. He blamed mother for father's disappearance. He was about eight years old and he needed father more than ever. He grew up being an asshole to both mother and I, but he changed once he was about fifteen. He felt guilty for treating us badly, but I love my brother to death so I forgave him just like mother did. We moved out of our home and moved to this town which isn't as bad but I miss my old home.

This house isn't small, but it's not as big as our old home. Maybe that's why I changed the person who I was. I was an innocent little girl who didn't know much of life. Growing up I felt like I was nothing. I felt like an abomination knowing my father left me. I felt like I wasn't wanted, and I wanted nothing more than to die. I got into deep depression, but once my brother changed to the better, he changed me as well and we are both somewhat back to normal. I'm not always smiling because I honestly don't have a reason to, but I try my best in making my mother proud. I'm human, I cry, I get angry knowing my father left, but as I grew up, I knew better than to cry for a man who didn't care about me nor my mother nor Cameron. My mother is a lawyer, Cameron is in the police academy which soon he'll be able to have a stable job as well, and then there's me. The sad sixteen year old who reads books and loves photography. This is my life now, and like it or not, I have to deal with it. I do believe my family will rise to where we once were.

We are all happy as three. We don't need a father figure. My mother has worked so hard to keep this family going and I will always love her for that. My job for now is getting the best grades I can possibly get and become an English teacher. Part of me has always wanted to be an actress, but I know I have to face reality and become something else.

"I'm going out with Rebecca, you okay staying home? I can take you to Sarah's," he offered.

"I'll be fine, I'm not in the mood to go out" I said, heading up the stairs.

"When are you in the mood to leave the house?" He chuckled. I go inside my room and shut the door. I hear his car starting and he leaves down the street.

I walk over to my drawer and take my phone out. I begin to scroll through my contacts to call Sarah, but instead I see "Finn"

I stare at his number and debate if I should text him or not. I did finish the book which he said to text him when I did. Should I ?

"Hey it's Alison, I finished the book and you were right. It's amazing, thanks again for buying it for me"

Should I send it ? What if he doesn't respond ? What if he gave me the wrong number and just wanted to be nice?

I press send and put my phone down. I go to my book shelf and look around to pick another book. I hear my phone ringing and I furrow my eyebrows to who it is. I walk over to it and see it's Finn. Should I answer ?

"Finn?" I asked, confused.

"Hey, it's been awhile," he said. I recognize his voice and can't help but smile.

"Yeah, yeah it has been," I whispered. I sit down on my bed and wait for him to respond.

"What'd you think of the book?" He asked.

"It was honestly one of the best books I have ever read," I laughed.

"I'm glad to hear that. I'm not very much into romance but I had to buy it for you. It's an awesome book," he chuckled.

"Yeah, Yeah it is," I whispered. We stay in silence for a long period of time and I think of what I can say.

Like I've said before, I'm not very good at communicating with people. Especially when it comes to boys.

"We should hang out soon so I can lend you a few books of mine. It's more about action but it's really good," he said.

"I'll read it, but only if you read one of mine," I said.

"Deal," he laughed.

"I'm free tomorrow after school. I'll send you the address," I said, smiling.

"Perfect," he whispered.

"Goodnight, Ali" he said.

"Goodnight, Finn" I whispered. I hang up and put my phone away.

I get to see Finn tomorrow. Part of me wishes I wouldn't have agreed, but then again, he's a good guy. I'm surprised a guy like him would even talk to a girl like me. I'm not very pretty and I'm not like most girls. I just hope he's not fooling around with me or using me in any way..
