Chapter 21:
In that moment Scott walked in and the family stopped and faced him. "Right then Finn, I think it's time we had a little chat", Scott said. At this, Finn's head snapped up and his eyes filled with fear.
"Finn we've found that you have a low bodyweight for someone of your age and height and we were wondering if you have any idea why", Scott explained. As he said this the Bartons looked at each other trying to work why all of a sudden Finn's weight had become a cause for concern.
"How often do you eat Finn?", Scott asked and James scoffed. "I eat all the time", Finn said and James shook his head. "Mr Barton, is there something you like to add?", Scott asked noticing that James was shaking his head. "Yeah, Finn seems to be a feeling a little down and doesn't really eat because he says he's not hungry", James said and Scott nodded and looked over at Josh. "When you say 'feeling a little down', what do you mean by that?", Josh asked.
"A while ago Finn was involved in a helicopter crash at his brothers wedding. A close friend of his was killed and her husband blamed Finn. Ever since he hasn't been the same. We took him to the doctors and they referred him to a counsellor. He's only had one session, the second was supposed to be today but obviously things didn't go to plan", James said as Scott wrote it all down.
"Right so, did this counsellor talk to you about any treatment, Finn?", Scott asked and Finn shook his head. "He just asked me some questions", Finn said and Scott wrote this down. "Me and Josh will be back in a second", Scott said as he and Josh left the Bartons.
This then left Ross, Pete, James and Finn alone. Pete, Ross and James were either standing or sitting around the bed, while Finn sat on the bed his knees close to his chest with his arms resting on them.
Finn couldn't believe what was happening. Everyone was fussing over something, that to him didn't matter. All he wanted was for people to leave him alone, fat chance of that happening. He had his dad and his brothers constantly watching him.
Pete's head was spinning. The past few hours were a complete blur. He was shocked, confused, he had so many questions to ask and he wanted to know what was going on inside Finn's head.
Ross was still puzzled by his the whole situation and couldn't help but slightly blame himself. If him and Pete hadn't left Finn, they wouldn't of been in the situation they were in. Ross couldn't understand what Finn thought he had done wrong. Fair enough, when he'd asked his dad this his dad had told him that mental health affects people in different ways and maybe this is how it affects Finn. To Ross, that sort out made sense.
James couldn't believe what was happening. His son had just tired to end his own life by jumping off a bridge, it just didn't seem real. He could tell that the doctors were concerned; they were asking lots of questions and writing lots of stuff down. James also noticed that they seemed to be concerned about Finn's weight, but he just shrugged this off.
"What do you think then?", Josh asked Scott as they were at the nurse's station. "To be honest, I still don't know", Scott said. "There's definitely something going on in his head, he's just not telling us", he said and Josh nodded. "So what do suggest we do then", Josh asked. "I think we keep him for the next few days, just to keep an eye on him. We'll move on the ward and explain the situation the them", Scott explained and him and Josh headed back to tell Finn the decision.
"So Finn, we've decided to keep you in for a few days just to keep an eye on you as there's a few things that are concerning us. We're going to move you on to the ward and then we'll take it from there", Scott said. Finn's heart sunk, now everyone was going to crowd him. This was Finn's worst nightmare.
