Chapter 18

After I had left Ripley in his stall, and Finn had disappeared, I spent the rest of the night sobbing in my pillow until I fell asleep. I couldn’t tell you exactly why I let those events get to me like that. The best I could do to explain is that I was seventeen years, female, and I was so desperate to have a love interest since I had to watch my two best friends Suzette and Adam flirt all the time back at school. They had sworn that they were just friends at that point, but I knew that there was an attraction there from the beginning.

I lied in my bed and listened to the blue birds chatter and sing outside my window in the large oak tree that protected my room from the scorching summer sun. I remembered that I told Mr. Collins I would help him with the morning chores, but I woke up a good two hours after he would’ve started. Plus, I knew if I got up I would have to answer to Mary for my puffy red eyes, and I just didn’t feel like rehashing the gory details of my seriously exasperating faux pas with Finn. She would’ve probably had some lovely motherly advice like she always did, but I just was not ready to share yet. Hiding in my room for the remainder of the summer seemed like the right thing to do.

No sooner than I could think the words there was a tap tap tap on my white bedroom door. My thoughts turned to Mary. Mom wouldn’t knock she would just walk right in without warning; good thing I asked Mr. Collins to install a lock while we were back in Manhattan. I was a growing young woman for crying out loud and I didn’t need my mother all up in my personal space whenever she pleased.

Knowing I didn’t lock the door last night, since I just wanted to get into bed as soon as possible, I shouted “come in” so she knew it was safe to enter. But I was immediately regretful when it wasn’t Mary who entered. It was not mom, dad, or even Mr. Collins. Of course not, any one of them I would have been fine with seeing me in my puffy faced, silky pajama wearing, bed head state. But no it was the one person that I couldn’t have seeing me like this.

“Finn?! Oh my!” Startled by his glorious presence and horrified by my current state I flailed my long limbs around and almost fell out of bed as I ran for the bathroom.

“You okay?” A muffled concern peeped through the bathroom door.

“Uhhh, yeah. Just give me a second okay. I was expecting Mary, I uhm… I’ll be out in a sec.” I had no other logical response.

I ran to the sink and splashed some water on my face to desperately try and hide the fact that I had been crying over him all night long.
