Chapter 15:

Ross and James sat downstairs , both thinking about Finn. "I'm heading out into the village later, I was gonna see if Finn wanted to come with me", Ross said finishing off his cup of tea. "Where abouts would you go?", James asked. "Dunno, the shop, the farm to see Pete or just have general wonder, cos I mean he hasn't been out in weeks has he dad", Ross said hoping James would agree with him.

"Yeah alright then, but if he wants to come back, you bring him straight home" , James said sternly, Ross nodded then stood up and made his way upstairs to Finn's room. Ross knocked on the door and waited for Finn to respond. "What", Finn said from inside his room.

Ross walked in and found Finn lying on his bed with the curtains shut. Ross walked over to the curtains and opened them, earning a groan from Finn. "You mister need to get out for a bit", Ross said sitting by Finn on his bed. "I'm going out in the village later and I was wondering if you wanted to come?", Ross asked, praying that Finn would say yes. "No", Finn replied sharply.

"Ah come on, we could just go down to the farm and see Pete, and we don't have to stop and talk to anyone", Ross said persuasively. "Yeah, but people are going to ask where I've been", Finn said and buried his head in his pillow. Ross sighed, "exactly, the longer you hide away, the more questions they're gonna ask. Come on Finn, anytime you wanna come back home, you can", Ross said hoping he'd finally got through to Finn. "Fine, I'll come", Finn sat getting up off his bed then reaching for his jacket and shoes.

"Yes Finn! You also might want to have something to eat before we go", Ross said and Finn just frowned. "I'm not hungry, and anyways I'm coming with you what more do you want", Finn said walking out of the room, followed by a slightly bemused looking Ross. "We're off!", Ross called as he and Finn left the house.

As they stepped outside the cool breeze hit Finn hard and Ross noticed this. "You alright?", he asked, Finn just nodded and walked on with Ross. Finn felt weird walking through the village, like he wasn't supposed to be there, like be didn't fit in. He could sense that people were looking at him, staring at him but he tried his best to ignore them.

As him and Ross neared the farm, Finn could hear the sound of a tractor. They turned the corner and it was Zak who was driving the tractor, however he stopped when he seen Finn. "Just keep walking", Ross said to Finn, he could sense Finn was starting to freak out. They walked in the direction of the fields and that was when they saw Pete.

"Alright mate?", Pete asked Finn. Finn just shrugged and carried on watching the ground. "Do you two wanna come inside and I can make us a brew?", Pete asked, Ross nodded and started to follow him however Finn didn't, he just kept staring at the spot on the ground. "Finn", Pete said snapping Finn up and getting his attention. "We're about to go inside for a brew", Pete said and Finn nodded following both his brothers back into butler's farm.

As the brothers sat inside, they were lost on what to say. It was like they wanted to talk about yesterday, except no one could form the right words. As they sat in silence, still nobody had said a word. "How was yesterday?", Pete asked who was just staring down at his mug.

"Yeah, it was fine", Finn replied, he was starting to regret going with Ross add he should of known it would just be questions. "We better be off" Ross said looking at his watch. He stood up and Finn copied what he was he doing. "I'll see you tonight", he said to Finn who was just unresponsive.

As they were walking back through the village, Ross and Finn were silent. They turned the corner and walked past the woolpack. Suddenly Finn stopped and stared straight ahead of himself. "What's the matter?", Ross asked before looked where Finn was looking and knew it wasn't good. Standing opposite Finn, just down the road, was Eric.
