Chapter 9:
Emma looked at the men stood in front of her. James standing furthest away with deeply concerned look on his face. Pete was standing a few in front of him, closer to Finn, he too had a deeply concerned look on his face but he also looked quite scared. Then there was Ross who was holding back Finn who presumably was going run upstairs or out the door, looked terrified except Emma didn't know why. That left Finn, who was being held by Ross. Finn had a shear look of panic spread across his face and it was clear to see that he was having trouble breathing.
"I'm waiting", Emma said crossing her arms. She could sense that something was wrong but she didn't want to let her guard down. Victoria pulled at Emma's sleeve, indicating that that was probably a good time to leave and let the others sort it out. Except Emma didn't budge.
"Emma I think you should go", James calmly he was too focused on watching Finn and making sure Ross didn't let him leave. Finn was panting heavily; James, Pete and Ross could sense that if they didn't get Finn out of there something was going to happen.
"Ross take Finn upstairs, Pete go with them", James instructed hoping that the boys would just follow his instructions and take Finn upstairs. "What", ross replied, "how am I supposed to get him upstairs." He said referring to a struggling Finn who was starting to panic.
"Look I don't care how you do it just get him upstairs", James said. Pete sighed, "right come on then.". He and Ross took Finn out of the living room and practically half dragged him, half carried him up the stairs.
As they got to top Finn was still struggling, "Finn just calm down yeah, take some deep breaths." Ross said pulling his shaky brother into a hug and breathing with him. "In and out, in and out." Pete rubbed Finn's back in the hopes of this finally calming him down.
Both brothers breathed a sigh of relief as Finn calmed down and his breathing started to slow down. Ross guided Finn into the bedroom and sat him down on the bed, Pete follwed. "What's going on mate?", Ross asked hoping this time Finn would tell them.
"What on earth was all that about?", Emma asked, she was trying to get her head around what she had just seen. James sighed. "Look Emma, something's wrong with Finn ans you know what we were pretty close to finding out what it was and then you barged in!"Emma stood silent, she was shocked. Had James really just said that?
Victoria moved towards Emma, "look come on I think we should go." She said. "No", Emma replied, "I'm leaving until I've spoke to Finn." Victoria sighed, "that's not gonna happen at the minute, why don't me and you just go back to the pub and James will ring us if there's any news." Emma thought about it. "Promise you'll ring?", she asked James sternly. "Promise", he replied and with that Emma and Victoria left the house.
Upstairs Pete and Ross were still trying to make a breakthrough with Finn. Finn hadn't said a word since they'd got upstairs, that was until now. "I...erm" Finn began unsure of what to say. How could he tell them that he was to blame for Vals death, i mean they probably already knew. Everyone did. "It was all my fault", Finn said again.
"What was Finn, what was your fault?", Pete asked, he wanted to know what was Finn's fault, he wanted to help him. "Val", Finn said this time he had tears in his eyes that were spilling out on to his face and his voice was trembling. Pete and Ross looked at each other, trying what Finn meant.
"It was my fault she died I'm to blame, I'm to blame for everything's that's happened and everyone knows it", Finn said, this time he crying, hard, and couldn't hold back the sobs that racked through his body. Then it clicked for Pete and Ross; they felt guilty that Finn felt like this. Ross pulled Finn into a hug and let Finn cry into him, while rubbed his back.
"No mate it wasn't your fault, of course it wasn't. How could yiu think that?" Pete asked. "Eric", Finn choked out. All of a sudden everything made sense to Pete, that day when Finn walked out of the B&B he looked had been crying and now everything fitted into place. Pete sighed, he should of noticed this sooner, what kind of big brother was he.
