Chasing Fintry

Chapter 17- shoppin til we droppin

We walked into the crowded mall. "Why do we need to come to the mall if your moving on?" Bailey questioned.

"Well I wanna shake up my look and change me a little bit." I replied meekly, walking into Aeropostale.

I looked at a cream color sweater, picking it up I grabbed a tank top to match it. I picked a few more outfits out before going to pay.

Bailey walked out a few minutes later with many bags. I laughed at how much trouble she was having. "So what's the plan we shoppin til we droppin." Bailey asked.

"Really shoppin til we droppin?" I questioned holding back my laugh. "Hey, don't judge me and seriously what's the plan now?"

"I need to make one more stop." I said grinning, before walking into the hair salon.

I rolled out of the bed the next morning and groaned. It was to early, but I had plans with Elliot.

I put on a new outfit and walked out with my phone and clutch in my hand. I walked to Elliot's dorm fastly, Becuase it was freezing out side. I walked in the warm building and up the stairs.

I knocked on Elliot's door and waited for him to answer. After a few minutes he still handed answered. Elliot had a single dorm, so I twisted the knob slowly. I opened the door and looked around the room.

The place was trashed the mattress off the bed papers everywhere. I saw Elliot sitting on the floor, his head was in his lap with his hands over his head. I swallowed hard at the sight.

"Elliot?" I whispered walking in. He looked up with red, puffy, blood shot eyes. "they're gone." He whispered, looking back down at his lap.

I knelt beside him. "who's gone?" I questioned looking down at him. "Amber, mom and dad." He said clutching my shirt and crying in my lap.

I put my fingers under his chin and lifted his head up. "Elliot what happened." I whispered softly, rubbing his cheek. He grasped my hand and looked me in the eyes. He finally stopped crying enough he could talk.

"You remember at the beach how I said I would tell you my secret?" He said not breaking his gaze. I nodded and let him continue. "well two years ago today." He started taking in a big, shaky breath. "I had a traveling soccer game in the mountains. It had been bad winter weather snowing, sleeting, hail, freezing rain, the whole nine yards. Our team had already got there before it started. I'd been dating Amber for about 10 months, her my mom, and dad were coming up. They hit a patch of black ice and spun out of control mom and Amber made it for about a day in the ICU. Dad had died on scene."

I felt my heart break for him. "Elliot." I mumbled hugging him. He pulled me on his lap and put his head on my shoulder. I felt his wet tears soaking through my shirt. I rubbed his back and we sat in silence.

I stood up and grabbed his hand. "come on they wouldn't want you like this lets go out." I said, grabbing a fresh shirt for him to change in. He pulled his old shirt over his head and put on his fresh shirt.

We walked out and he grabbed my hand and stopped me. "hey thanks." He said and kissed my forehead. I felt a blush creep up my cheeks. He opened my door as we reached his car. He started the car and turned on the heat. We pulled up to the soccer field. I smiled as he grabbed a soccer ball from the trunk.

I stole the ball and ran onto the field. I threw the ball down and started running to the goal. I took a shot and made it. I stuck out my tongue and jumped up and down. "oh your on doll face." He rolled the ball out and ran over to it. I stood in front of him. He did a double scissor kick and tried to get around me. I stabbed and missed he shot and made it. I rolled my eyes and got the ball. I chipped it over his head and did a bicycle kick into the goal.

In the end I won 10-7. I smirked as I leaned on the goal post. "guess I really am better than you." I giggled and wiped the sweat off my forehead. "whatever." He replied lifting up his shirt to wipe the sweat off his face. I looked at his gorgeous 6-pack. "like what you see?" He said and chuckled. I blushed and turned my head.

I felt him slip his hands into mine. "thanks again." He whispered. "your really welcome Elliot." I said with a smile. "I'm really glad we met." He said looking at the ground. "I am to." I said my smile growing. "Fintry, are you ever gonna give me that second chance? Please do it soon."

"I will I swear." I said nodding.

"Would it be crazy if I said I loved you."

"Would it be crazy if I said I love you to." I said smiling at Elliot.

His head snapped up. "I'm so glad that your not with Chance anymore." He said tightening his grip on my hand.

"Elliot." I whispered.

"Yea fintry?"

"I love you." I said before kissing him.
