Chapter 10:
James stood outside the bedroom door heartbroken at what he was hearing. He couldn't believe Finn blamed himself and he was wanted to go and give Eric a piece of his mind. However he knew he couldn't, he had to be there for Finn, they all did.
Ross looked down and realised Finn was asleep, he and Pete lay him down on the bed and walked out the room. By this time James was downstairs and Ross turned to look at Pete. "He needs help, Pete", Ross said hoping Pete would agree. Pete sighed, "I don't know about it, what if we can help him here, he can talk to us, his brothers." Ross thought about it. "Ok", he said, "but if we can't get through to him, them we let the professionals try." Pete and agreed and they both went downstairs to be met by James who had heard everything.
"He hasn't rang yet", Emma said panicking about Finn. "Look maybe James has found out what's wrong and he's busy dealing with it now", Victoria suggested hoping it would calm Emma down. She too wanted to know what was wrong with Finn, but she'd learnt from experience that panicking about it didn't help.
James looked at Pete and expectantly, "well", he said folding his arms. "So I take it you heard then?", Ross asked and James nodded. "I heard everything and I say we get him help now." Pete shook his head, "the only person that's gonna get something is Eric, and he's gonna get a beating. How could he say that to Finn!" Ross turned and looked at him. "Woah just calm down yeah, I feel as angry as you but we can't just go after Eric. It would just make Finn worse", he said and actually making some sense.
"I agree", James said, "we can't go in all guns blazing it would just make Finn worse and what are we gonna tell the whole village when Eric is black and blue." He sighed, "look all we have to do is get through to Finn that this isn't his fault, support him, look after him, never let him out of our sight but never start a fight or cause a scene, ok." Pete and Ross both nodded.
"Right now all we need to do is tell your mum", James said trying to assemble the words in his head.
The minute Emma's phone rang she pounced straight on to it like a cat. "James", she answered sounding panicked. "Wha what is it, how's Finn?" Victoria was listening in carefully. "Right okay, can Victoria come aswell?, Emma continued her conversation with James. She put the phone down." What's happened?", Victoria asked knowing that now they might actually find out what's wrong with Finn. "We need to go", Emma said walking out of the pub with Victoria following.
Emma and Victoria sat on the sofa and couldn't believe what they were hearing, James, Ross and Pete had told them everything. "So your saying he blames himself for Val dying just because of what Eric said?", Victoria asked tears evident in her eyes. Pete nodded, "yeah." Ross butted in, "look we're gonna try and get through to him but if we can't then we're gonna let the professionals try, ok", he said looking at Victoria who nodded and Emma who had tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Mum", Ross said snapping her out of whatever trance she said was in. She looked up at him with a tear stained face. "We're gonna help him mum, we're gonna help him", Ross said pulling his mum into a hug.
