A/N: I only own the OC.

Thank you for the reviews!


I woke up later and looked at the clock... it was after 3 am. I sighed and sat up. I wanted some water. I was walking to the kitchen when I spotted Finn's feet hanging over the side of the outdoor sofa. The outside light was still on and I figured he fell asleep outside. I turned it off when I saw swarms of bugs around it, and figured he had been eaten up by them. I walked out there and looked over to see him asleep curled up as much as he could. I listened as I heard the ocean softly and then saw lightening in the distance, followed by a small clap of thunder. I leaned down and put my hand on his shoulder.

"Finn." I said and he mumbled something, but didn't wake up.

"Finn, wake up... you need to come inside." I said and nudged him slightly. He opened his eyes and looked around before sitting up.

"I guess I fell asleep... what time is it?" he asked me.

"After 3 am." I said as thunder clapped overhead and it was a little louder. He nodded and walked inside behind me. I went to the kitchen to grab water and handed him a bottle. He took it and downed it all as lightening lit up the room. He looked at me as I shut the fridge.

"Are you ok?" he asked me and I nodded as I started to walk past him, but he gently grabbed my arm.

"I know you are scared of storms... do you want to sleep in the bed with me?" he asked me and I sighed as the wind picked up outside.

"I won't try anything." he said and I nodded.

"My bed is bigger." I said and he followed me in there. I laid down and he slipped in beside me.

"You have a comfy bed." he mumbled and I chuckled as thunder hit louder. I tensed, but he cuddled up behind me as he pulled me flush against him.

"You aren't alone." he whispered and rubbed small circles on my hip. He put his arm around me when the wind picked up again and I intertwined our fingers. I had been scared of storms since I was little and a tornado hit one night. we had all been ok, but the house was badly damaged, including the room I had been sleeping in. He comforted me and I finally fell asleep in his arms.

I woke up later that morning and he was still holding me. I had to admit that it felt nice to be in someone's arms. I was laying there and thinking when he stretched a little and I felt something pushing against my leg. I immediately knew what it was and tried to get out of his arms when he pulled me closer.

"I like waking up like this." he mumbled to me and I looked over my shoulder at him as he placed a small kiss on my shoulder.

"It was kind of nice..." I said and looked into his blue eyes. He gave a small smile and let me go without another word. He slipped out of the bed and I watched him walk to the door way. He looked back at me and gave a small smile. I returned it and sat up.

"We need to get ready for the party." he said and I nodded before he could say anything else. He left and I finally slipped out of the bed. I wasn't sure why, but Finn and I felt different today. I didn't really have time to dwell on it because I knew that we were having a party tonight so I had shit to do.

Later that night...

I was sitting with Nia and Elias as Finn talked to Karl. We were having fun, and had about 20 people over. I was enjoying the party and we were drinking to celebrate. i knew that in 2 days we were flying to England and eventually going to Ireland. He had already mentioned that he was going to see his family, so I knew that meant I would be seeing his parents for the first time as his wife.

"I like this." Nia said as we sat around the fire pit on the patio that over looked the ocean. I nodded and she smiled at me.

"Is it really that bad to be his wife?" she asked me as Elias was talking to Finn while they were getting more beers. I shrugged and looked at her.

"Look, K, I know he hurt you, but... just give this a try if you are seriously going to go this far with it." she said and I nodded. I knew that she was right since she and Elias were really the only two who honestly knew the whole story.

"I'm trying... he just hurt me. I... I am trying." I said to her, but it sounded like I was trying to convince myself as much as her. She raised and eyebrow, but nodded.

"Just look at it as a fresh start." she said and I nodded as Finn handed me a beer. I took it and he kissed my cheek.

"Thank you." I said and Nia smiled at me.

The party went good and everyone left around 2 am, except Nia and Elias.

"You guys want to stay?" Finn asked them and Elias nodded as Nia look at him.

"Sure, thanks." Elias said as we all sat beside the fire pit and listening to the fire and the ocean. We finally got ready for bed around 3 am. Finn showed Nia and Elias his normal room before coming to my room. He knocked and I looked up at him.

"I will take the couch." he said and I shook my head.

"Just come on. We can pretend it's storming." I said and he smirked, but peeled off his slipped in bed next to me and I rolled over to see him watching me.

"You looked nice tonight." he said and I gave a small smile. He leaned over and placed a soft kiss on my lips as he scooted closer to me in bed. I knew that this night could go many different ways.
