Chasing Fintry

Chapter 18- falling hard

I bit my lip as I closed my dorm door. I slid down the door smiling. I got up and walked over to my bed. I grabbed my phone and looked at the time. it was still early, so I decided to go to the cafe.

I walked outside and breathed in the cold air. I closed my eyes as the wind messed with my hair. I started walking to the cafe.

I stepped in and went and ordered. Once i got my coffee I went and sat at a table. I saw Kara walk in I stiffened and sipped my coffee. She hesitated before walking over here.

"We need to talk." She said stiffly.

I scoffed and rolled my eyes and stood up. I felt a hand grab my wrist. "Please." she begged. I sighed and sat down. "Make it quick." I snapped. She nodded and sat down.

"He's hitting me." she whispered. i just stared at my cup of coffee. "I want to leave."

"So leave." I said numbly, shrugging.

"I cant..." she hesitated. "I'm pregnant."

I felt my stomach drop. "I uh have to go." I mumbled. I don't remember how but I ended up outside Chance's door. I banged on it loudly. He opened The door, clearly surprised. "Fintry." He said it like a question. I made my hand into a fist before connecting it with Chance's face.

I ignored the pain. "You are such a jerk." I said pushing him back. He grabbed my wrist. "what are you talking about?" He asked nervously. "You hit her and she's pregnant, your such a S.O.B." He looked at the floor. "I've know you for 12 years. The Chance I know would never do this. the Chance I know would never hurt me or cheat. What happened to you. What happened." I felt the tears swelling up.

He opened his mouth to speak. I shook my head and walked out.

As I left my phone went off. It was Elliot. I changed course and headed to his dorm. I went in and saw him laying on his bed. He patted beside of him and I went over and sat down. He was watching The hunger games. I smiled at him. He smiled back and wrapped his arm around me. I laid my head on his shoulder.

The movie ended. We sat in silence for a while. "I'm scared." I whispered. "why are you scared?" Elliot asked.

"I'm scared of falling. What if you don't catch me and I get hurt. Or you leave me and my heart breaks. I don't want to be scared, I hate it so much. When I love I give it everything I have and sometimes it kills me. When my heart gets broken it kills me so much. I don't wanna be that girl that gets tricked and hurt. I want to be able to love and not be scared of getting hurt. I don't want something that I don't need. I want something that I need and that helps me be a better person. Yes I get clingy and jealous. That's because I care. I've always had to fight to get what I wanted. I wasn't rich so if I played sports it wasn't travel it was normal rec ball. So I had to give every sport I played all I had so i could have a sliver of a chance to play. I want to fight for love I don't want it to be handed to me. I want someone who will fight for me too. Someone I can always count on. Elliot I want you. You make me happy. I can count on you. You know some of my darkest secrets. Please don't let me make a mistake of falling for you."

He smiled at me. "You know how cute you are when you ramble on. Fintry why do you think I want a second chance? Because I want you to fall for me and me to fall for you and us to fall in love." I felt a smile creeping up my cheeks. I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Your such a sweet heart." I whispered into his neck. He put his hands on my side and gently squeezed. I smiled. "who knew you would steal my heart, a clumsy, beautiful, smart girl, named Fintry." I blushed.

"I'm glad you stole my heart." I said looking him in the eyes.

All I knew right then was that I was falling hard for the handsome guy with the dark hair and chocolate colored eyes and that he would change me forever.
