"What the hell were you thinking?" Chris shouted.
"He was winding me up, sir. I lost my temper." Finn rubbed the back of his head. Today was turning out to be the worst day ever.
"I don't throw Mrs Fisher against the wall when she annoys me." Chris sighed. "Ok, bad example. The point is, you can't do this!"
Finn couldn't explain why he had done it. This was his (ex) girlfriend's Dad - he couldn't say 'he was winding me up because I cheated on your daughter.' "What's my punishment then?"
"I've had enough of setting punishments that never seem to do anything." Chris sat on his desk. "I suppose it is still a punishment but you're going to spend the next two days in the cooler."
Finn felt relieved. It was isolation away from both Kyle and...Eva. Eva. He couldn't let her disappear from his life like this. He had done wrong with Maddi last week, he should have known he wouldn't get away with it. "Ok. Is this done? There's somewhere I need to be."
Chris opened his mouth to speak but Finn was already running out of the office. "Ok then." Chris sighed.
"I promised I wouldn't go near another guy...and I didn't. You were there, Lauren. I didn't even look at another guy!" Eva sobbed, eyes stained red. "How could he do this?" She asked, bursting into a fresh set of tears.
"I don't know, darling. I don't know." Lauren sighed, holding Eva to her stomach and stroking her hair.
"I loved him. Do you think he ever loved me? Did he look like he was in a relationship with Maddi?" Eva asked.
"Eva, he worshippeed the ground you walked on but...it was Finn. Nothing is ever as it seems with Finn." Lauren sighed.
"Eva!" Finn shouted, running to the pastoral care room. "I need to talk to you."
"Get out, you low-life piece of scum!" Lauren growled, standing up.
"I wasn't talking to you!" Finn sighed, trying to get a look at Eva.
"You didn't need to Finn. I don't want to speak to you, I don't want to see you - I don't even want to be in the same room as you!" Eva shouted, sitting up. Finn wanted to wipe away her tears and kiss her lips gently, kiss away the pain.
"I can't carry on, knowing you feel like this." Finn sighed.
"Why is it always about you, Finn?" Lauren shouted. "Your girlfriend just got an email telling her about what you'd been doing with her mate whilst she was away. Start thinking about how she feels! She's had enough shock and hurt for one day without hearing your side of the story as well."
"It's not about me!" Finn said angrily. "I made a mistake, a huge one, but I'm not losing the one thing that makes my life better because of it!"
"Don't you think it's too flaming late for that?" Eva demanded. "You think you can wander on in, tell me it was a mistake and then expect me to take you back with open arms? I've had that too many times before."
"What?" Lauren and Finn gasped in unison.
"This isn't the first time this has happened to you?" Lauren asked.
"No." Eva said. "It's not." She grabbed her bag and ran out of the room, wiping away the tears.
