Mistakes to Repeat

Chapter 48 "The Unexpected"

It's been two weeks since my kidnapping and I'm back a school. Everyone heard about what happened and asked me questions the first couple days until I threatened to punch a girl in the face. They all stayed away after that.

Finn carries my books and backpack around school for me since I'm still on my crutches. I had to put small pillows under my arms because the plastic started to hurt after a while.

While I was in the hospital, Natalia visited a few times. She almost squeezed the life out of me with her hugs. She told me she heard what happened from aunt Megan and that she was worried sick. I let her sign my cast.

My parents made me start going to therapy to deal with my emotions from being kidnapped and well...watching my father do what he did. It surprisingly has helped me and we even started to get into my past relationships and my insecurities with my parents.

Finn and Lucy have been staying at my house the past couple weeks until my mom can find them a permanent home. Of course, Finn is restricted to the couch and Lucy is rooming with me.

"Cupcake?" I turn my head to look at Finn, who was carrying my backpack. "Are you listening to me?"

We were walking down the hall side by side, but I was using my crutches to lift me off the ground and swing my body forward. The hallway was empty since we left class a few minutes early so we wouldn't get caught in the traffic.

"Sorry, I zoned out." I smile at him sheepishly and he smirks.

"Thinking about how much you want me?" I roll my eyes.

"You wish."

My therapist told me it was a good idea to hold off on having sex with Finn, since I seemed to have turned sex into a way of numbing my feelings. To say it's been a struggle is an understatement.

He suddenly walks in front of me and wraps his arm under my butt, lifting me off the ground. I squeal, dropping my crutches and he drops my backpack on the floor.

I wrap my arms around his neck as he kisses me, running my fingers through his silky black hair. My thighs tingle from his touch and my body flushed hot as he slid his tongue against mine.

A loud clash from down the hall suddenly broke up our kiss, and it was probably for the better. I would have taken him right then and there.

"What was that?" He questioned,  setting me down to stand on one leg.

He picked up my crutches and handed them to me, slining my backpack over his shoulder. We make our way down the hall where the sound came from.

It was coming from inside the janitor's closet.

Finn and I exchanged glances, both of our eyebrows furrowed towards our noses. He turned the knob and pulled the door open.

My jaw almost fell to the floor.

Natalia and Harvey were making out viciously, their hair frizzy and messy. Neither of them were wearing shirts.

When they realized they've been caught, their cheeks blush a deep red and they scramble to find their clothes.

"What the hell is going on here?" I gasp they struggle to put on their shirts. "You told me you were going to the library this period."

"I uh-" Natalia stutters.

"And you told me you had a test to make up." Finn raises an eyebrow at Harvey.

"Well uh-" Harvey stutters as well, looking to Natalia for an explanation.

I gasp at a realization.

"Is this what you've actually been doing everyday when you told me you had to study?"
