Rare; Fionn Whitehead

thirty-six

Fionn fell back against the cold brick wall. His heart ached in pain.

Harry came outside and stood next to him, having an idea of what just happened.

"Fionn.. you should um, you should read this" Harry said as he looked over to his hurt friend.

Fionn took Harry's phone and read what was on it. People were accusing him of cheating on Alice.

"Harry.. I didn't do anything with Elizabeth" Fionn said, not having any more strength to be mad.

Harry nodded, "I know. But does Alice know that?"

A tear rolled down Fionn's cheek as he shook his head.

"She didn't give me any chance to explain. God I didn't even know what she was going on about until now"

Harry sighed, "call her again"

"I can't. Besides she won't answer. We're over Harry, she broke up with me. We're done" Fionn said and broke down into tears.

Harry held Fionn tightly in his arms, desperately trying to think of something he could do.

Alice woke up the next day in her own bed. She blinked a few times to adjust to the lighting. She felt numb.

"Hey.." Colleen said quietly.

Alice looked over to her, confused.

"Liam called me. He um explained what happened and said you should probably be with me right now and not him. I agreed so I took you home"

Alice nodded.

Colleen sighed and handed Alice a plate of food, "I made you some breakfast"

"I'm not hungry" Alice said in monotone.

"You need to eat Al"

Alice shook her head and Colleen went to sit down on the foot of Alice's bed.

"I um, I blocked Fionn's number. Also Harry's because I know he'll try and call you on that"

Alice nodded, "thank you"

She didn't want to hear either of their voices right now. All she wanted was to get over him as quick as possible, forget about him and her parents, and not feel this way anymore.

"Are you going to go to work today? Or do you want me to call you in sick?"

Alice shook her head, "No. I'll go. I need to just go on with my life and forget about Fionn"

Colleen sighed but shook her head.

Alice didn't have her breakfast, but she did get ready for work. Colleen had decided to stay with Alice for a few days, maybe even a few weeks.

When Alice arrived at her work, everyone went quiet and looked at her with sympathetic faces. They must know.

The whole world must know.

Alice didn't mention it to anyone though, and no one talked to her about it, which was good.

She was going to go on with her life and forget about him. Also her parents.

She was going to be okay.
