Chapter 7

"So the first time you guys were intimate... Fins mom walked in you?" Elliot laughed.
"Yes she did, it was actually the first and last time Fin and I made love" Ariana chuckled sadly.

"What the hell is going on here?" Fins mother screeched. Both Fin and I raced to put on our clothes.
"Ma listen-" Fin tried to explain. But it was too late, she had seen the ring on my finger as I reached out to hold Fins hand.
"That better not be my mothers ring on her finger! Fin what the hell do you think you are doing?! Ariana you need to leave now!" She gestured to the door
"Please let us explain!" I cried. Don't send me back to that house. Don't take Fin away from me.
"Go home Ariana. That is the last time I'll say it nicely" she warned. I started to leave the room until a hand clasped around my wrist and pulled me back. Fin pulled me back to his side.
"Ma don't do this. Don't send her back there. You have no idea what they-"
"GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HOUSE!" she screamed. Her loud voice made both of us jump. She usually loves me. She has never raised her voice at me, ever. I began to leave again, this time Fin didn't stop me. As I walked his mother I whispered
"Im sorry, more than you know."
"Leave the ring" was all she replied.
"NO" Fins voice boomed out, "It's my ring, Grandma said to do what I want with it and i choose to give it to Ariana. Whether you like it or not, Ariana is and will always be my first wife."
"What are you talking about? Are you two married?" she asked, taking a step towards Fin.
"Well not offic-" i started
"Yes, yes we are. It may not be official or legal but she is mine!"
"I can't believe you Odafin. You wanna give up your life for her?"

I never thought about that. About what Fin would be giving up for me. He would have to care for me. Watch over me when I have my nightmares and calm me down when i have my episodes. He doesn't deserve this. He deserves better than me. Let him go Ariana.
When i came back to reality, Fin and his mother were in each others faces; screaming at the top of their lungs.

"STOP!" I screamed. I walked over and turned to face his mother. "You are absolutely right. We are too young for this, and Fin does deserve... more." I turned to my husband with tears in my eyes. "Fin I love you so much, but you deserve so much better. I'm too damaged. Maybe... maybe Harrisburg won't be too bad. If I don't see you before I leave tomorrow... Just remember that I love you more than life itself." I started to pull the ring off my finger. He stopped me, he didn't speak he just shook his head and planted a kiss on my forehead. His lips moved to my ear and whispered the words I wanted to hear.

I looked into those big beautiful brown eyes and smiled as the tears streamed down my face. I turned and ran out of the house as fast as i could. I could hear his mom faintly call after me. After a few blocks, I was home. Or whatever the fuck it was... Byrons car wasn't out front anymore. That's weird, he's always home around this time. I tore the ring off my finger, put it in my pocket and went inside, there were no lights on i walked through the living room, looking for any signs of life.

"He's not here, slut." Secily's voice rung out. "So moving to Harrisburg without me, huh?"
She was behind me, I could feel her hot breath on my back. I didn't turn to face her. I didn't
want to smell whatever alcohol that danced across her tongue today.

"What are you talking about?" I asked. I was confused.

"He planned to leave town with you..." Olivia stated.
"Yup. He felt that Secily was too old now and had filled her purpose" Ariana replied.
"Fucking Prick" Camaro said angrily. Ariana rubbed her back. It was almost as if Camaro was the one that needed to be comforted instead of Ariana.

Secily reached up and wrapped her hand around my throat, cutting off some of my air, and pulled me close so my back was pressed to her front. I brought my hands up and clutched her wrist, trying to loosen her hold.

"Don't fuck with me. I come home from my job to find him packing your stuff. He thought he was just gonna leave me behind. Haha stupid bastard" She turned me around to face her, I could smell her drink of choice tonight. Tequila. "I kicked him out. If you look in the backyard you can see the pit where i burned most of his things. He's not coming back so now it's just you and me, bitch. Just like the good old days after you killed my husband."

She stared me in my eyes. Maybe if she wasn't drunk she could see the joy that danced in them. The fucker was gone. I wouldn't have to sleep scared anymore.

She was still staring at me, at my lips specifically. They were a bit swollen from my day with Fin. Fin...

"What do they all see in you? Maybe i should see for myself..." Just as I came back to reality she was kissing me. Her dry cracked lips on mine. I moved my hands from her wrist to her chest and pushed as hard as I could. She finally pulled back. I looked at her in horror. No, not her too.

"Don't worry baby, I did this plenty of times in college." She purred.

Oh no, I dont want this. She backed me up against the wall. Looking down at me with the same look Byron used to give me, Lust. She pinned my hands above my head and bent her head down to kiss my neck. I started to cry, knowing that if I screamed she would hurt me. My legs began to shake, I was so scared. She moved her lips up to my cheek, she licked the tears that streaked my face and made her way back to my mouth. She kissed my lips again, harder this time, using her alcohol soaked tongue to part my lips. Her tongue burst into my mouth and darted around. I was so shocked from this sloppy kiss that I didn't notice the hand that wasn't restraining my hands was slowly rubbing its way down my body. It wasn't until she roughly cupped me between my legs that i realized she was really gonna go through with this. Realizing this; my legs gave out, she didn't try to catch me. She let me fall to the floor.

"Maybe I should take you in a bed. Hmmm?" she squatted down and scooped me up in her arms, and I was to weak to stop her. She carried me to my room and dropped me on the bed.

I watched in fear as she closed the door...
