After dinner we all went back to the couches, just, this time we made room for Wyatt. I sat on Chosen's lap on the single person couch since I'm the lightest. Jack and Finn sat on the two person couch and Jeremy, Jaeden, and Wyatt sat on the three person couch.
"I have an idea. We should play a game." Jack suggests.
Everyone seemed on board with this idea, boredom hitting us all hard. "Yeah, Jermey and I played some today. Jermey, how about you pick." Chosen said to Jeremy. Jeremy was surprised at the mention of his name but nodded and went up the stairs.
Finn looks at Chosen and I with a cheeky grin. "Are you two a couple?" Finn asks Chosen and I. It was only a day ago that we were making out. I started to blush and I didn't know why.
"No, no. We aren't." Chosen was quick to say. "What about you, Finn. Are you and Grazer over there dating?" Chosen joked. I laughed and high fived him. Even the other's couldn't help but suppress a laugh.
"No we aren't." Finn crossed his arms in protest. Jack looked upset, however. Jeremy returned with The Game of Life. "Life? Really?" Finn commented with a smug look on his face. Jeremy's face started to turn red and I felt bad for the poor kid.
I had an unexplainable urge to punch Finn. I know Finn was doing this for his own personal reasons but that's no excuse. "Can you not be a dick for once in your life." I tell him, anger coursing through me.
"You weren't saying that yesterday." He said, referring to us making out. I saw Jack get up and leave. I could have sworn there were tears in his eyes.
It seemed as if we were already starting to fall apart. "You always have to go and ruin everything, don't you?" I yell at him. He looks like he's debating on whether to go after him or not but ultimately, he stays.
I wish I could see the real Finn, not this arrogant piece of shit. "I keep it real, princess." He leaned back on the couch and put his hands behind his head and his feet on the coffee table. In which Wyatt removed them. Finn glared at Wyatt. "What's your deal, Oleff? Mommy don't love you or something?" Finn quarreled. Wyatt bit his lip and look at him in disgust.
"Suddenly your ego is to big for you to handle. Why don't you leave and try to catch it." Wyatt fought back.
Everyone in the room looked uncomfortable, the tension was rising. "Do you want to go, Oleff?" Finn stood up and Wyatt did the same.
"You don't know what you're getting yourself into." Wyatt warned. Wyatt was towering over Finn with his height but Finn wasn't going to show that he was intimidated.
I could see it in his eyes. I could tell that this wasn't Finn. This was all but a protective layer. "Really, Wyatt?" He began to whisper to him. "I noticed how daddy wanted to get rid of you. And I'm going to guess that bruise on your face when you first came was from him too. Couldn't take it? Couldn't handle daddy?" Finn whispered. Wyatt was pissed. He shoved Finn against the wall and put his elbow against his neck.
"You don't know anything about me. You don't see me hooking up with girls left and right. You don't see me trying to act like mommy's not struggling to pay the bills. You don't know shit, Wolfhard. You're nothing but a coward." Wyatt spit. Finn shoved back. We're all watching them wondering when we should interfere. We can't hear anything they're saying but we know it can't be good. Jeremy is in the corner and he looks scared for his life. I cling to Chosen as if my life depended on it and he held me tight.
Finn and Wyatt were now on the floor. Finn was on top punching Wyatt.
Jaeden looked beyond confused and scared at the same time. "Shut up! You're nothing but a pussy! Don't you dare talk to me like you're better than me!" He screamed, punching him more. Wyatt turned them over and started to punch Finn back.
"I'd rather be a pussy then a coward. All those girls you dumped after hooking up with them. All those people you've used and abused. All for what? To make you feel like you're worth something? Well news flash, Wolfhard. You ain't shit." Wyatt punched him once more before standing up. We all stared at them in awe. "I'm going outside." But Jaeden chased after him.
Finn stood up but almost fell. Chosen told me to take Jeremy to their room and he was going to handle Finn.
So I did.
<Chosen>
After Sophia left with Jeremy it was just Finn and I. "Wyatt was right, you are a coward." I mutter. He wasn't in the mood for confrontation. He started to walk up the stairs. "You hurt Jack. You hurt Wyatt. You scared Jeremy. And now this whole place is going to hell." I tell him. Finn scuffs and continues to walk. "So you can apologize to everyone or else your stay will be a living hell. Don't be a coward, Finn. Prove us wrong." I finish. He finally stops and looks at me.
His whole face his covered in blood. He has a cut on his forehead that's gushing blood. There's a cut on his eyebrow. His nose is bleeding. His lip is busted. His almost healed bruised cheek is re-bruised. He's a mess. Wyatt did some damage.
"Look at me, Chosen. I am a coward. That's all I'll ever be and if you think I can change you're wrong. I let people down, I've done it my whole life." He slurred on his words a bit and I knew he was losing consciousness.
"But you can change. It's not that hard. Just start with two words." I tell him.
"I'm sorry doesn't fix everything."
"It's a start."
"It's bull."
"Not when you mean it."
"It takes a lot to mean it."
"Not if you really actually mean it."
Finn just stares at me. "Goodnight, Chosen." He mumbles and continues to walk up the stairs. I watch him disappear and I sit back on the couch.
I close my eyes. Day two and we're already falling apart.
