Under the mask

Chapter 7

He swung the knife around getting ready for the screams of Rachel in pain. But he heard nothing, he blinked and realised that he was still clutching the knife above Rachel

Rachel opened her eyes in shock as he hasn't done it. He was trying but he just couldn't do it for some reason

Rachel was scared to mover or talk incase she wasn't so lucky the next time he tried this. He dropped the knife and just stood there.

Rachel didn't want to interfere so she just left him

His vision became blurry and watery. He wasn't going to be vulnerable in front of her so he just turned off the lights and went upstairs

Rachel was sitting there absolutely gobsmacked at his reaction. Why didn't he stab her? There was something more to that

Meanwhile upstairs, finn sat on his couch with his head in his hands. He was angry at himself... this makes him look weak in front of her now!

He was silently letting the tears flow down his face, but he quickly wiped them away as he thought this made him look like a pussy

"Fuck my life completely" he said to himself, he was so angry... he needed to punch something. Anything that made him look like the bigger man

He got up and started kicking the cupboards and smashing plates. He needed something that would take the pain away. For him being a heartless bastard... he did feel pain

He threw a glass against the wall and watched it shatter into tiny little pieces.   What would take the pain away?

Kidnapping another girl?

He couldn't be bothered with two girls in his basement, not with all of this going on anyway

He wanted to go down and see what her reaction was to his screwup but at the same time she could just mock him

What he was puzzled at was what was stopping him from doing it? It was as if someone was holding his arm back

Just thinking about it made him feel weak and vulnerable. Which really pissed him off.

He made himself go down

He trembled downstairs and put on the lights (his usual routine)

He saw Rachel sitting there crying to herself, he decided to just ignore her. It was hard

"Thank you" she whispered through her tears

For some reason this broke him, seeing her cry.... what was he feeling for her? Whatever it was he didn't like it as it was making him weak

He went to the cupboard, his torture cupboard. Well that's what he calls it anyway. There's a lot of shit in there that could kill you off instantly

"I'm going out" he says as he looks through the cupboard supplies that he has stocked up

He didn't want to look at her, but he knew she was looking at him. Almost as if she was scanning him

When he got what he was looking for he shut the cupboard and finally faced rachel

Finally

"Why didn't you?" She choked out,wiping her tears

"Why didn't I What?" He answered playing dumb

The thing is, Rachel can see right through him and she doesn't know him that well.

"Stab me" she contemplated her statement

He thought of a quick excuse but nothing came to mind, which made him look stupid

"Listen it doesn't matter, can I say something? But wait till I finish before you kill me"  She asked him

He didn't have a choice but to listen to her, so he nodded in agreement that she could talk

"Listen finn, I see Good in you... a lot actually. I'm grateful that you didn't kill me tonight but you don't need to keep your distance and bottle all your feelings up. I won't make fun if you if you cry. I know what it feels like to feel lonely and have nobody to talk to and that's why your angry at everyone but killing isn't the answer. It's not my place to tell you that but please just hear me out because I see good in you" she said softly, she place her hand on his tense arm

He relaxed a little

"Your right, its not your place" he stated a little pissed

"Please finn"she begged

He felt calmer now with the tone of her voice, calming his nerves

There was a silence between them both

It wasn't awkward but it wasn't comfortable either

Just then he leaned in and so did she
