.I knew it was Finn behind me.I shouldn’t have reacted that way, but I have no control over myself anymore.“Kelsey, please,” he says and I walk right into his open arms, pressing my cheek against his chest and inhaling.He smells like I remember Beck smelling and although I should find comfort in that, I don’t.It makes me miss him; I miss him so much it hurts.But the anger I still harbor is very much real.Finn’s arms wrap around me and he kisses the top of my head as the tears begin to form.I can’t control them, falling fast and soaking his shirt.“I’m sorry, Finn.You don’t have to do this,” I whimper out between hard breaths.He chuckles a little and I feel his chest rise and fall under my cheek.“Yes I do.You know Beck would kill me if anything happened to you.”I pull away from Finn at the mention of Beck’s name and mumble as I climb into my car, “Yeah, like he gives a shit.”Finn walks around to the passenger side, opens the door, Bella hops in and settles herself in the seat.Finn looks at me again with what I once mistook for pity.I was wrong the first time, what I see in his eyes is tension.The fact that this guy’s still on the loose seems to be wearing on him.I hate that I’m the reason for the stress in Finn’s life.He bore just as much of the burden and hurt when Beck left as I did.He hurt us both.“I’ll meet you at your house?” he asks, quickly putting on a straight face.“Yeah, but I’m just gonna drop Bella off and then run to the supermarket.I have nothing to eat.”Finn sighs hard and I see the exhaustion of all of this come through.His job is tiring enough, but when you add in the stress of constantly having to keep tabs on me, I can’t even imagine.“Would you mind just checking out my house before I drop Bella off? You can head home after that.”“You sure? I really don’t mind going to the store with you,” Finn says, as I hear the fatigue in his voice.I don’t think he’s slept since Jason wrapped his hands around my neck and these damn bruises are just a reminder of it all.Every time Finn looks at me he sees them and his protective nature takes over.“I’ll be fine, Finn.Just go through the house and once Bella’s in there, it’ll be all good.”He nods his head and I smile at him trying to ease his worries and the stress he carries with him.A few minutes later Finn has done a sweep of my cottage and Bella is resting comfortably on the couch.Nothing was out of the ordinary, so I feel a little bit less anxious about returning home for the night.I thank Finn for all his help and tell him to go home and get some rest.He flashes me a tired smile before getting in his car and driving away.Feeling just as exhausted, but far too hungry to forego the trip to the supermarket, I grab a few canvas bags and hope to make this a quick run.As I’m wandering the cereal aisle, looking for Lucky Charms even though I already have a cart full of crap, I nearly collide with Mrs.Holmes.She’s a sweet old woman, who was born and raised in Rockport and can’t help but find her way into the lives of everyone in this tiny ass town.“Oh, Kelsey, dear, I heard what happened to you,” she says sympathetically, as she eyes my neck.My hand immediately moves to cover up the bruising, although I know there’s no hiding the marks.“How did you get involved with such an awful gentlemen?”“I don’t know, Mrs.Holmes, but…” I try to sound casual while trying to avoid this conversation, but this old woman is quick and she cuts me off.“It’s such a shame.You and Beck, he was such a sweet boy; you should have ended up with him.You know the whole town was certain you’d be married, especially after we all found out you two had been,” she whispers the next word like she just said ‘fuck’ in a room full of nuns, “fornicating.”“Oh, sweet jesus,” I mumble under my breath.Shit, it’s times like this that I don’t blame Beck for bailing out of this town so fast it was like his ass was on fire.“It was nice to see you Mrs.Holmes,” I say, as I forget the Lucky Charms and ditch her before she can say anything else.After a speedy check out and an even hastier loading of my groceries into my car, I’m on my way home, where I fully intend to put this bullshit behind me by gorging myself on chicken pot pie and Ben and Jerry’s ice cream.I know Finn and his guys are doing all they can, and I have to let that be enough for me or else this is going to consume my life.As I drive home, I can’t help but laugh at Mrs.Holmes and her nosiness.It always drove Beck crazy, but I understood the town’s obsession with us.There was little going on in this town and Beck and I were a break from the boredom and monotony of it.There’s nothing better than first love and Beck and I made it no secret that we were infatuated with each other.The gossip drove him crazy, but I found it kind of sweet [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
