A/N: To Sophie Pearson, thank you for the review, and to answer your question it might be Sam/Finn, might be Bex/Finn or they might be alone toward the end I haven't got that far yet :) I have up to chapter 6 written already, I will write more as the series goes on, depending on Finn's decision in next week's episode :)

-three-

"Oi, leaving me so soon Fisher?" Finn smirked as he walked toward the bus stop Bex was stood at with her bag in hand.

"Don't you have school to get to?" Bex commented, looking at him.

"Free period." He laughed, standing in front of her.

"So instead of talking to the uni girl isn't it better to spend this hour with your girlfriend?" she rose an eyebrow, smiling.

"Well… yeah but the uni girl is fun and more easy to annoy." He grinned cheekily.

"Just make sure you're not ignoring her cause of me. I've already caused enough trouble at school when I was there let alone when I'm not." She smiled.

He rolled his eyes and hugged her. "I'm not. And anyway that wasn't your fault; it was that idiot Wayne's. And Kyle." He said.

"And if I hadn't of done those things anyway they wouldn't have a grudge against me." She sighed.

"Right you, look at me." He said, stepping back so he could look at her. "Please." He added when she wouldn't look at him.

Bex forced herself to look at him.

"It's not your fault that prick looked at you like that and made you do them things. It's not your fault he put them out there for everyone to see. You were blackmailed; you were scared I know that. I was there at the trial remember?" he told her gently.

Bex nodded slightly and chewed on her bottom lip. "I know… I know and you wouldn't let me go afterward…" she smiled a little.

"Well I'm a friend, friends are meant to be there for each other and I was trying to make up for lost time." He smiled. "I figured that if I wasn't there for you through the whole… thing then I could be there when you got one over on his ass."

"Yeah…" she laughed a little. "Sam's really lucky to have you." She added.

"Nah.. I reckon I'm the lucky one." He smiled. "I'm just the class idiot remember." He grinned.

"You're not that much of an idiot." She laughed when she saw his expression change. "Okay you're not at all!" she giggled and looked over his shoulder. "That's my cue to go." She added, seeing the bus turning up.

"Damn! And I was having fun too." He grinned and hugged her again. "You better make sure you text me yeah?"

Bex rolled her eyes, laughing and she hugged back, and then grabbed her bag as the bus stopped in front of them. "Or what?"

"Or I'll keep bugging you all week by calling you up in lessons." He threatened, smirking.

"And you would as well!" she laughed, showing her pass to the bus driver and then went to her seat.

Finn grinned and watched as the bus drove away then he turned in the other direction, making his way to Sam's, all the while his mind was on the girl who had just left him.

When he got to Sam's he took out his phone and rang her.

"Prince, don't throw your food!" Sam sighed heavily. Trust her mum to do a disappearing act this morning and leave her to deal with her baby brother while Denzil made his own way to school. She let out an angry growl when she heard her phone ring. "This better be mum…" she muttered, answering it. "Hello?"

"What have I done now? I ain't even seen you yet." Finn teased, he could tell by her tone she wasn't happy.

"Shut it you, where are you?" Sam smiled a little.

"Waiting outside for ya, lemme in." he laughed.

"Let yourself in! I'm dealing with a child here and about to murder him. D'you think I could go down for murder if I killed my own brother?"

Finn just laughed and hung up, walking up to the front door and opened it. "Yeah I think you would." He answered her, shutting the door behind him and walking into the kitchen where she was. It looked like Prince had been let loose with food and a blender, never mind just throwing it about.

"Damn it. Thought I could get away with it for a minute there." She smiled.

"Where's your mum gone?" Finn looked at her then hugged her.

"That's what I've been trying to find out." Sam muttered and hugged back.

"Well I was all for a relaxing morning but you need help cleaning this up, come on." He grinned.

Sam gave him a relieved smile and stepped away from him, starting to clean up what she could. "Do you know what time Bex leaves?" she asked.

Finn picked Prince up and carried him to the sink, sitting him on the side. "No." he lied. He didn't think she'd be best pleased to find out he'd been stood talking to Bex the whole time rather than coming to her rescue. "She's probably gone by now anyway, in case she gets there late or something." He added.

Sam listened as she grabbed the sweeping brush from beside the fridge and started to brush all the food into a pile in the corner of the room by the bin. "Yeah probably." She agreed.

Finn grinned and cleaned Prince up and then put him back down on the ground. "I don't think he's going to school like that." He laughed. "I'll sort that you go sort him." He added, walking to her, taking the brush from her.

Sam looked at him. "I don't have a choice do I." she smiled, and laughed when he shook his head, then she followed Prince out the room, helping him up the stairs so she could get him changed.

Finn swept up the pile and chucked it in the bin, grimacing as he did.

Once Prince was in a fresh change of clothes, he looked up at his sister. "Mummy says she finks something's wrong with you." He stated in a matter-of-fact way.

"What d'you mean?" Sam looked at him.

Prince just stared at her with those wide, innocent eyes. "I heard her talking to Tom, she says she'll see if you keep having these headaches all week and she'll make an appointment with the doctor to make you all better."

Sam just shrugged a little, thinking her brother was just rambling on about nothing again. "Well she won't need to because I'm fine." She smiled. "It's probably just stress cause I got my exams coming up soon ain't I. You know what mum's like ever since she was with Tom and that... always worrying. She'd worry about Marley if he didn't tell her to shut up and stop it every time he came home for the holidays."

Prince ran over and hugged her around the legs. "You not going to leave us are you." He said.

Sam finished putting things into her school bag and looked at him, picking him up. "No course I'm not gonna leave you. Right, let's get you off to school... I'll tell Finn he can meet me at mine, it'll just be us two yeah?"

Prince nodded.

Sam smiled and put her bag on her shoulder, and carried Prince down the stairs, seeing Finn by the door anyway. "You carry on, I'll be fine. He's feeling a bit upset because mum ain't here so I thought I could take him on my own."

"Yeah course. Just try not to miss me too much." Finn smirked and kissed her.

"Trust me I won't." she teased, kissing back.

"I'm heartbroken Sam." He laughed and walked out.

"Yeah well you'll live!" she laughed, following him out and shutting the door behind her, and they both went their separate ways, if only for a short while.
