Chapter 4:
Finn just stood there starring at Pete, what was he supposed to say? How was he going to explain where he had been for the last 4 days, well Pete knew where he had been but how was he going to explain why? Finn had a million thoughts racing round his head on what he could say, however none of them seemed that convincing.
Pete stood there starring at his little brother, his lost and quite lonely little brother. ' He looks pale' Pete thought to himself, when was the last time Finn had eaten. Without wasting anymore time Pete jumped straight to it. "What's happened mate?" he asked a nervous looking Finn. Finn just starred at the ground, he couldn't tell Pete what he really thought, he'd either laugh and tell him not to be so stupid or he'd say that yes it was his fault Val dead. So Finn decided to tell a little lie. "I just haven't been feeling too well, that's all" , Finn said in his most convincing tone. He was hoping Pete would believe him because he did look a bit pale, so maybe just maybe Pete might believe him.
Victoria was contemplating whether to speak to Pete or ross, or even james about Finn. She was worried, like really worried, she hadn't seen or heard from Finn in 4 days and whenever she walked past the house the curtains were always closed. It was just so unlike Finn. All she wanted was to see him just to check that he was ok, because after all that's what best friends to right?
Pete looked at Finn, he did look ill, he was pale, his eyes were red with dark bags underneath, he was shivering and seemed shaky and jumpy at everything. So Pete decided to get him in the house at least he could have proper conversation with him.
"Come on mate, let's get you inside" he said walking up to Finn; putting an arm around him and guiding him inside.
Back at the B&B, Eric sat there deep in thought, however most of his thoughts were about Finn. He hadn't been in work for nearly a week; this annoyed Eric plus the fact that Finn hadn't even been bothered to phone in sick or at least explain where he was. It puzzled him. "Alright dad", david said pulling Eric from his thoughts. "Yes or course I am, why wouldn't I be" Eric snapped back. "Alright dad chill out" david replied, " I won't bother asking next time." Eric sighed, why did he always have two push people away. Is that what happened with Finn." David wait" Eric started, "it's Finn I'm worried about him." David just starred at his dad, confused by what he had just said.
Finn sat there with cup of warm tea in his hands, his trembling and shaky hands, starting down at the table. He didn't notice Pete's eyes watching his every move. "Do you want something to eat, you look like you haven't eaten in days mate?" Pete asked hoping to get a reply from his unusually quiet and anxious little brother. Finn shrugged his shoulders, he knew it was a bad idea to see Pete and now all he wanted to do was run away. But he couldn't, he had to face Pete at some point, he had to face the truth.
"I called round the other day mate but I got no answer, were you in?" Pete asked his shaky younger brother, he knew something was bothering Finn so instead of going in all guns blazing, Pete decided to take the more gentle and softer approach in the hopes of getting Finn to talk. Finn's mind was racing with things to say, but to be honest he didn't feel like saying anything, all Finn wanted was to just get out of that situation and go home. "Yeah, I was in", Finn replied trying to make it sound like he was telling the truth. "So why didn't you answer the door?" Pete asked curious to find out more. "Because I was too ill to move!" Finn replied slightly raising his voice, which confirmed Pete's suspicions that something was definitely up with Finn. "Just leave me alone!" Finn shouted and with that he stormed out of butler's farm leaving a stunned Pete behind
