Infatuation (fack.) D I S C O N T I N U E D

i woke up with my phone stuck to the side of my cheek. i don't even remember falling asleep last night.

'that's because you fell asleep at 4am' my eyes widened in realization as i looked at the time. the clock read 6:45am. i had at least half and hour and hour tops to get ready. i hopped up out of bed and stretched quickly, then put my phone on the charger. i grabbed my towel and rushed to the bathroom. as i was showering, all i could think about was finn and his adorable smile.

i only just met him and he had such a big impact on me. i blushed and quickly finished showering. i hopped out and shook my hair our alittle, my hair was finally pass my eyes, i was excited that my hair was growing so fast after i cut it last January. i finished up in the bathroom and went into my room. i stared at my closet for at least 10 minutes, now being 6:58am. i frowned and huffed as i pulled on my light-washed skinny jeans and my cream and brown striped long sleeve shirt. i put my glasses by my phone so i wouldn't forget them and grabbed my hair dryer. i blow dried my hair, curled the ends of my hair a bit, brushed my teeth and walked back into my room. just as i walked in, my phone dings and illuminates the semi dark room since i haven't opened the blinds or turned on any lights. i pick my phone up looking at the time first '7:19am' i had enough time to sit and eat real quick. i glance at the name of who sent me the message and saw that it was finn. i smiled to myself as i walked over to my book bag to make sure it was packed right. i unplugged my phone and wound up my cord to put in my bag. i grabbed my glasses up and put them on. i quickly grabbed my earbuds and walked out of my room, shutting the door behind me quietly just in case my dad was awake.
"jack?" i stopped in the hallway and sighed before slowly walking down the stairs to see the kitchen light on, illuminating the hallway along with the sunlight from our front door at the end of the hall.
"dad..?" when i walked into the kitchen, i about fell over. was that my dad? he was leaning against the counter. his scruff of a beard was gone. he looked rested. he looked clean. he looked like my dad.
"sit..please" he said and i sat at the table.
"i-i do have to get going soon dad" he nodded at me and smiled lightly, his eyes doing his crinkle when he smiled that i haven't seen in so long.
"yea...so. here." he handed me a plate that had eggs and bacon on it. i quietly started eating, wanting to hear what he possibly wanted to say.
"yesterday i..i noticed how shitty we lived, jack." he coughed and messed with his fingers, small things i noticed, but this was something he used to do to refrain from getting choked up or sad.
"i was hurting. you were hurting. life isn't easy jack, but i was making it worse wasn't i?" i nodded and looked up at my dad, fully and in the fast, for the first time in so many years.
he sighed.
"well..im fixing that, son. i really am. i want us to be happy or try to be. i miss your mom but she wouldn't be proud of me. im sorry it took me so long to notice this." i started to tear up and smile. i nodded as i smiled at him. 

"im willing to help us for the better together." i checked the time and sighed as i stood up and put my dishes in the sink. 

"i have to get to school, dad. we can talk more when im home okay?" my dad smiled a big smile and wiped some tears away. 

"of course, jack, of course. have a good day at school bud."

as i shut the door behind me, i felt a pair of lanky arms snake around my free arm. i squealed and looked to who the arms belonged to.

"f-finn?" he chuckled and smiled brightly at me, causing me to blush and look down.

"j-jackie? hi, good morning to you too. that squeal was adorable by the way." he winked as he pulled me along side of him to walk to our close by bus stop. 

"how did you sleep?" he asked and let go of my arm. i frowned, i missed the warmth. 

"i slept great actually, better than i have in a long while." i nodded and smiled at him. he smirked alittle and ruffled my hair. 

"im glad i make you that happy, bubs" i blushed at the pet name and looked down. 

"y-you cant assume that it's your doing.." i looked back up and frowned because he looked abit hurt. as usual, just as quick as the hurt look came, he smiled and rolled his eyes. 

"i dont need to assume things i know, jackie." i was about to respond when the bus pulled around the corner and barreled towards us. i sighed quietly and he nudged my side. 

"time to go to hell" he said and patted my head lightly. i stood there thinking that today was going to actually be a pretty good day, i could just feel it you know?
