Chapter 14: Finlay's Mistake
Eden POV:
I lay in bed, texting my Candor bff, Gabi.
Gabi: I can't wait to actually meet you!
Eden: Me neither!
Gabi: Has your mom recovered yet?
Eden: Yeah, she's good.
All of a sudden, the doorbell rang. "I'll get it!" I yell.
Eden: Soz, gtg, doorbell went dingdong x
Gabi: KK, I totes understand x
Gabi is offline.
I tuck my phone into my trouser pocket and dash to the door. As soon as I open it, regret floods over me. It's Finlay.
There's a beautiful brunette holding his hand, who I'm guessing is Jessica.
Finlay grinned. "And this, Jessie, is the home of the dork family." He sneered.
Jessica gaped. "Dork? What an unfortunate surname!" She sounded genuinely shocked. "What's your name?"
"Eden Eaton." I snap.
"Eden Eaton Dork? My, what a mouthful!"
Jessica's politeness was driving me to the edge of sanity. "Are you sure you're not Amity?" I suddenly cry.
Jessica gasps. "Shush! No one must know! I am a refugee!" She breathed.
Finlay stroked her back. "And a beautiful one at that." He smirked. "Well, Eden. How's your twin dork?"
I growl. "1: He is NOT my twin, though we are the same height. 2: Our last name is Eaton, NOT dork."
Jessica smiles. "That's just Fin! You see,"
"I KNOW WHAT HE'S LIKE!" I bellow, "HE WAS MY BOYFRIEND YESTERDAY!"
Jessica gasped again. "Fin?" she whispered.
Finlay gulped. "Jessie, go over there a second."
"What do you want?" I snarl.
"She is fragile, Edie. I don't even love her. I love you. It's just… she needed some love."
I sniff. "I love you too."
"Secretly be together?" Finlay asked hopefully.
"Oh, yes! I'll totally- GO BEHIND YOUR GIRLFRIEND'S BACK AND KISS YOU!" I slap him around the face. "You texted your chance of having me away, Finlay Jakal!" With that, I slammed the plain grey door in his face. Behind the door I fist-pumped and posted the audio recording on my Instagram. #GirlPower #StrongBreakup #Lol! Maybe this breakup wasn't so bad after all…
