AN: Hey everyone. This chapter is a bit shorter, but important. This will give you another glimpse of why Finn doesn't care too much for his sisters.
Hope you all enjoy!
"No."
"Please."
"No."
"Please, Finn, please."
"How many times do I have to say 'no'?"
"Until it turns into a yes; you know I can be quite persistent." Isabella was currently following Finn around the Yale campus begging him for a favor. She had tried to call him several times, but he had chosen to ignore her. He knew that if there was an emergency she and Camila would be the last people to contact him.
"Well too bad, your persistence will do you no good here."
"Why not?" Isabella asked sternly.
"I have no interest in being your fiancé's groomsman," he huffed. "I don't even know the bloke. Aren't a guy's mates usually the groomsmen?"
She made her way in front of him and stopped him in his tracks. "Yes, but I have more bridesmaids than he has groomsmen and I cannot have an uneven number at my wedding."
Finn ran his fingers through his hair, "Look Bella, if it weren't for the fact that mother was insisting that I go I wouldn't even bother showing up."
Isabella's expression fell, "Why would you not go to my wedding?"
"Why in the hell would I want to go?"
"Because I'm your sister."
With a roll of his eyes Finn moved around his sister and continued towards his class. It was Tuesday and he always looked forward to seeing Rory. At this point he'd rather be anywhere than talking to his sister.
Isabella made her way back in his path, "Look, Finn, I know we haven't always gotten along, but…"
"Not always gotten along?" Finn cut her off, "Bella, you and Cami did nothing but make my life hell growing up."
"That's a little drastic isn't it?" Isabella scoffed.
Finn made direct eye contact with her, "Really? Whay don't you ask the three child psychologists I had?"
Finn had been an awkward child growing up; he had always been on the scrawny side, and had a few medical issues such as asthma. His sisters had never missed an opportunity to brutally mock or tease him, and any time they got a chance they would play cruel jokes on him; he also got blamed for stuff they did.
"Oh please Finn, you were a sensitive kid. You just didn't understand that that was our way of bonding with you."
Finn let out a bitter laugh, "Some bonding. Because of you two I had 5 broken bones, 3 concussions, and my stomach pumped all before I was 15. Explain to me how I was supposed to view all those experiences?"
Isabella said nothing. She was, for once, at a loss for words.
Finn started to leave when she finally spoke, "We got better though; didn't we?"
"Oh sure. Why don't you ring Vanessa up and ask her?" his voice dripped in sarcasm
Vanessa was Stephanie's best friend and Finn's first girlfriend in high school. She was a little on the heavier side, and lacked the social standing his family had. He hadn't care. She was smart, kind, and funny. She had earned herself a full scholarship to Hopkins Prep.
This however, did not stop Camila and Isabella taking every opportunity to mock him for dating her and openly ridiculing her in while she was present.
After two years of dating Vanessa had attempted suicide. With the combination of the constant bullying at school, and the added bullying from her boyfriend's sisters, it had become too much for her.
Finn didn't like to dwell on that time too much.
Isabella looked uncomfortable.
"Look Bella, you are my sister and that's it. I am not your friend to call on favors for." His tone darkened a little, "I don't care if your wedding is a success, fail, or if you have the proper number of groomsmen or not. I wish nothing more to do with this wedding than be an unwilling guest. The only bright side to it is Morgans always insist upon an open bar."
He didn't wait for her to respond; instead he made his way around her and continued to class without looking back.
