chapter seven : mine

Amelie's pov

    The car ride home is strange. We barely talked and he just played music on the radio instead of from our phones.

    We were making out just minutes before, what happened?

    I mean sure, I was a little embarrassed that some of the group noticed but I wasn't that worried.

    The only one of them I was scared to talk to about this was Isobel. I know she would not like me shagging Finn. Not that I would but, I was on his lap for crying out loud. If she saw that part, she's sure to have a fit.

    I don't completely understand her problem with Finn, but maybe she knows something I don't.

  Isobel's pov

    We arrive back at school and I need to talk to Amelie about what I just saw. I mean I knew she was going to hang out with him alone, but I didn't expect that.

I'm happy for her if she's happy; but is she happy with him? I barely know anything anymore. Either way I need to talk to her. ASAP.

"Al," I run up to her, "can we talk?" She looks a little nervous but agrees.

"Look, I'm not here to pester you or talk you out of anything, I just want to talk."

"Are you mad?" she asks me. To be honest, I don't even know the answer myself.

"No" I respond flatly.

    Silence

"So, what's going on between you two?"

"It's really nothing, just something happened in that moment and I don't even know if I like him or if he likes me, or anything!" She buries her face in her hands.

"I just wanted to let you know that, I don't mind if you and Finn are together just-" I pause and take a breath, "just don't get your heart broken." She brings her head up out of her hands to look at me.

"He's not like that,"

"I know I'm just saying-"

"No you don't know, you don't talk with him everyday. You don't know him like I know him." I can tell she's getting upset with me and I don't have the energy to fight with her right now.

"Fine, you're right. Like I said, I don't mind. Go shag him, do anything you please with him. All I'm saying is if anything happens, don't come running to me for comfort because I tried to warn you." I walk out and head to my next class. I wasn't trying to be too harsh but maybe I was. This whole thing is just so weird and I can't even figure out why it feels that way.

   Amelie's pov

    That's rubbish, there's nothing wrong with Finn. He's the nicest guy I've met at this high school. She's just mad I've been spending time with him and not her.

    But, the car ride home was weird. And Isobel's instincts are almost always right. Is Finn really too good to be true?

    I don't have time to think, I have to get to my last class.

    As I rush through the empty halls to get to class, Im suddenly stopped.

    A cold hand grabs my shoulder, pushing me against the lockers. They put their arms on both sides of me, trapping me against the wall. I suddenly recognize their outfit. I look up to see Finn staring at me. He smirks, and looks around to make sure no one's there.

    Before I can even say a word he slams his lips against mine. Pressing his body hard against me. Pushing me harder against the locker.

"Amelie," he says between breaths, his lips still on mine, "Promise me- that I- I'm the only one- you'll ever l- love like this."
