The Mystery Boy

Chapter 6 - Mothers

Willows POV

I listen intently to Finn as he explains the drea- memory he had last night. He said that he saw some woman and a boy sitting in a garden and it was almost like he was there with them. Apparently the woman called the boy Finny and his names Finn so that might be a nick name for him, especially if it's the boys mother. Which that boy might have been Finn.

He also said that the mother was talking to the butterfly about losing her husband, the boys father. I was confused though about how he said after he tried to comfort her, by touching her arm slightly, HOW WAS HE ABLE TO TOUCH OR FEEL HER IN A DREAM/MEMORY?!

That just isn't possible! So this must have been something else besides a memory dream thing. I'm not sure, but one thing I do know is that the girl he saw before waking up must have been close to him in some way. The boy he saw in the dream must have been him when he was younger.

I'm kind of speechless at this point because I don't really know what to say.

"Willow what do think?" I'm snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Finn asking me a question. "Huh?" "Sorry I was just zoning out" I say while putting a hand on my head trying to take this all in. It's kind of crazy that we actually got something, he hasn't been able to remember anything since when we first asked him what he remembered.

"I was asking you what you think about all of this?" He asks. Well that's one question I don't really know the answer too. "I'm not sure" I telling him calmly. "I-this is just like i don't know," "like do you know where you could potentially find this woman-"

"You mean my mom?" He asks cutting me off slightly. "Yes, your mom" I correct myself. "I don't really know" he starts "I mean I know what she looks like but I remember I lived about two states away from you so I don't know how we would be able to find her" he finishes.

"Hmm..." I think putting my hand on my chin. "I'm not sure what we're gonna do now." I say. "I know...I don't either" Finn says looking down with sadness in his eyes. "Hey what is it?" I ask him putting a hand on his shoulder. "I- I don't know what to do." He says, his voice breaking slightly. I can tell he has tears prickling at his eyes.

I look at him a little confused. "I saw her in that dream, I know, I can just feel it that she's my mom," "and if she is my mom I want to find her because she probably has no idea where her son is. She's already lost a husband and she probably thinks that I'm dead." He finishes as I watch a tear slowly fall down his cheek.

I put my hand up to his cheek and wipe away the tear. "It's all gonna be okay," he looks up at me to listen, "we will figure it out, okay?" I ask him. I get my answer when he hugs me and then I can feel his tears on my shoulder. I hear him muffle a "thank you" in the crook of my neck.

"You're welcome" I reply.

Later on we try to think of ways to be able to find Finn's "mother." I'm still not positive this is his mother. I mean this was a dream after all but also a memory as he claims.

He said he remembered some of those things as the boy after thinking for a while. I don't know I just feel like something is off.

I sit at the kitchen island while eating some mint ice cream. Finn is pacing back and forth in the living room looking down with his hand on his chin. "Maybe we can try and find her by looking people up in the state I'm from or something?" He asks looking up at me.

I turn around in my stool and look at him. "Uhh, I don't think it works like that Finn." I reply. He groans annoyed and looks up at the ceiling, "then i don't know what to do!" He says in defeat.

I get up and take my empty bowl of ice cream that I just finished in the sink. I walk over to the couch and sit down. "Maybe we should wait and see if you remember any more stuff then we might be able to find your mother somehow." I suggest. He looks at me and shrugs "yeah maybe we should do that." He says with a saddened tone.

"Let's just watch some tv for now." I suggest picking up the tv remote and pointing it towards the tv. "Can we watch Netflix?" Finn asks looking at me with sweet desire in his ocean blue eyes.

"Yeah sure" I say smiling a bit at how cute he was acting. I turn on Netflix and ask him what he wants to watch, he reply's with The Umbrella Academy.

I turn on the show as we waited for Kiley to get home.

I look over to see that Finn have fell asleep in the middle of the show. I got the tv remote and rewinded the show so that Finn wouldn't have missed any of it while he was asleep.

I look over at the clock and notice that it's 11:00 p.m. geez time really did fly didn't it. Then I realize Kiley should've gotten off at 9. I look at my phone which I haven't picked up since we started the show.

I hadn't gotten any texts from Kiley. "What?" I whisper harshly. Oh
