thief {f.w}

chapter 6

*finns pov*

i wasted my time. i wasted her time. i wish id just walked by her house and left it at that.
i lie around all day, not bothering to change into some fresh clothes. i message daisy a couple times but she ignores me.
she told me she'd speak after, she's visiting lola in new york, lola headed there straight after we finished filming. i suppose we'd be seeing her at the red carpet soon.
i flick through movies on netflix and shuffle songs over and over. nothing occupies my mind.
i try to think of the new chords i was learning on the guitar, i make my way to the basement.
"sup little dude?" nick asks, stopping me.
"nothing. how about you?" i ask flatly and he nods
"im all good, i saw the nomination, way to go dude!" he ruffles my hair, and i crack a smile.
"thanks nick" i say, before making my way back to the basement. he follows.
"ah band coming over? gonna play some piano and guitar with malcom?" he asks, jumping off the stairs with an air guitar, copying what i did.
i laugh at him, "no man, just me today" and he shrugs
"ok. want some food?"
"no, didn't you just get some junk food from the shop?"
"yeah...but im hungry again duh" he says, rolling his eyes at me. i just laugh at him as he runs upstairs.
i pick up my guitar, i try to play a tune but i can't think of any chords. i glance across at the piano. my mind clicks the song that i was writing for river.

i make my way to the piano, feeling more comfortable. i begin to play, the song playing smoothly, i don't miss note and i begin to sing.

"from the way you smile, to the way you look,
you capture me unlike no other,
from the first hello, yeah that's all it took
and suddenly, we had each other"

when i began to write this song, it fit perfectly with how i felt, how she made me feel.

"and i won't leave you,
always be true,
one plus one, two, for life. over and over again,
don't ever think i need more, ive got the one to live for
no one else will do, yeah im telling you
just put your heart in my hands
i promise it won't get broken"
i sing in key, my voice echoing around the empty room.

i did break her heart.

"we'll never forget this moment,
we'll stay brand new, 'cuz ill love you
over and over again"

"but when im with you i loose track of time,
when im without you, you're stuck on my mind,
be all you need 'till the day that i die,
ill love you,
over and over again"
i was going to put this song on our album, after our ep was huge hit, we are going to release an album. but i guess i can't to that anymore.

i realise at this point, a single tear had fallen on to the key of the piano.
"wow" nick says, causing me to jump violently.
"that's...amazing. you wrote that?"
i nod and he comes over.
"are you...crying?" he asks, much softer this time.
"what? no! i don't cry nick" i say fiercely and he laughs
"yeah sure"
"im not." i say sharply and he puts his hands up in defence
"ok sorry. it's a good song though finn. is it about.." he doesn't finish.
i shake my head rapidly.
"no it's about...daisy. yeah daisy" i say, nodding
"why were you crying?"
"i wasn't"
he laughs and gets up to leave.
"dads back" he said.
"ok" i say but i stay seated.
he lingers for about 10 more seconds before leaving me alone. I sigh throwing my hands down so the piano thuds unpleasantly.

how can i be inlove with two people at once?

i eventually go upstairs, i hear nick and my dad talking.
"yeah your mom's gone out with a few of her friends" my dad says, smiling.
"nice" nick says awkwardly, he hasn't been the best at keeping a conversation going.
i put my hand over my mouth to stop myself from laughing out loud.
