Thank you for reviews,

Chloe67- the first part of the story was set when Ross wasn't in the village, but he's back and is included in the next few chapters. Hope you enjoy the next few chapters with Ross in them.

I don't own emmerdale all rights go to ITV.

Chapter 7:

"Whoa what's happened to the door?", Ross asked Victoria and Emma as he walked down into the village. Victoria sighed, "come in the pub, I think you'll need to sit down" she said as the three of them made their way to the woolpack.

Meanwhile back in the house Pete and James were still trying to work out the situation with Finn. "Is there anything you wanna talk about, anything bothering you?", James asked hoping to gat an answer. Except he didn't, Finn just stared. He was aware that he was shaking and causing even more concern.

Pete and James knew they weren't gonna get an answer from Finn anytime soon, except they were not going to leave him on his own. They were gonna stay there until Finn talked to them, no matter how long it might be.

"What, so you're saying Finn wouldn't open the door, no one's seen him in days so my dad and Pete broke the door down!", Ross said, back at the pub, shocked at what he was hearing. Victoria just sighed and nodded; Emma didn't even move. "I need to go round there, see what's going on", Ross said standing up and making his way towards the door. "Wait, you cant!", Emma shouted. "I think you'll find I can", Ross said walking out the door and leaving Victoria and Emma in the pub.

"Finn if you don't tell us what's wrong, then we can't help you?", James asked his youngest who was beginning to test his patience. Him and Pete had tried everything to get Finn to open up, but whatever they tried it just didn't work.

James walked into the kitchen and motioned for Pete to follow. "I'll be back in a minute", Pete said rubbing Finn's shoulder and walking into the kitchen. "I think we should get Ross", James said, trying to ignore the fact that Pete tensed at Ross's name. "No", Pete said sternly, adamant that Ross wasn't going to get involved. However before Pete could do anything, Ross walked through the door.

"Finn are you ok?", Ross asked, kneeling down so he was level with his brother. Finn was still shaking and had tears in his eyes. "Finn", Ross gently shook his brother but he still got no response.

"What are you doing here?", Pete asked walking into the living room closely followed by James. "I'm here for m brother and nothing else", Ross replied rubbing his hand on Finn's shoulder. James sighed, "right then now we're all here for the same reason, Ross go and close the door, then we are all going to sit down and find out what's been going on." Finn sat there, feeling uneasy, knowing that he was going end up spilling all to his family.

"I wonder how they're getting on", Emma said. "I dont know", Victoria replied. "I hope it's going okay." The two ladies sat in silence, both thinking about the same thing; thinking about Finn.

Finn sat awkwardly on the sofa, with Pete on one side of him and Ross on the other. Their dad sat across the room. Nobody spoke. "What's going on Finn, cos whatever it is, I promise none of us are gonna be angry or upset." Ross said earning nods of agreement from Pete and James. You know you can talk to us Finn", Pete said placing his hand down on Finns leg. Finn flinched at and Pete noticed. "Has someone hurt you?", Pete asked. Finn shook his head.

"Erm..." Finn began trying to think of something to say., but he couldn't. Pete, James and Ross sat eagerly on the edge of their seats, waiting for Finn to talk. . "Finn whatever it is you can talk to us", Ross said starting to get desperate. "It was my fault", Finn whispered quietly. Pete frowned, "what was?", he asked. "It was my fault", Finn said again, leaving his family puzzled.
