Finding love in a game of cat and mouse

Row and Sky

When I got back Skyla was still in bed.

"I got us coffee and breakfast. Is she getting up today?"

Finley looked over at me and smiled. "I'll go get her."

Good. Hurry up.

SKYLA

When I woke up I didn't even move. I just stayed in bed. Staring at my ceiling. Not moving a single muscle. Honestly my body hurt. I wasn't sure why but I was sore.

"What the fuck happened last night?" I groaned to myself. Trying to remember the events.

My best friend and my boyfriend. The entire school seen that. Oh god. I'm going to be the laughing stock of school my senior year.

I grabbed my pillow groaning as loudly as I possibly could into it.

This. Isn't. Happening. This has to be a dream someone wake me up.

"Are you gonna get up today?"

As soon as I heard Finley's voice at my cracked open door, I rolled over. I rolled over turning my back to him and pulling the blankets over my face. Covering me completely.

"Skyla you can't stay in bed all day. Are you hungry?"

Yes.....wait no. I can go longer.

I heard him but I didn't say anything. It didn't take long for Finley to pull my blanket off of me. As soon as he did I rolled my eyes. However as soon as he walked over to my big window, pulling my curtains open I groaned. I groaned loudly and snapped.

"Go away! God. Just leave me alone Fin please!"

Finley shook his head no as he walked over to me. Sitting down on my bed and staring at me.

"No. I'm not going to let you be depressed about this. Yes what happened was shitty skyla. I get it. I do, but I'm not going to let you let your life skate by because you won't get out of bed. What Sean and Jade did was a shitty fucking thing. The fact they did it to you makes it even shittier, but you have to show them your okay without them. You have to move on. So your going to get your ass up and take a shower. Your gonna dress up but nothing skanky."

As soon as Finley said that I smiled faintly. I wiped my tears away that started falling while he spoke. I was trying to keep it together but I just couldn't.

"Then your going to eat breakfast and have coffee. Rowan and me are going to take you shopping. Then we're going to have a movie night and eat way too much pizza. Your not alone skyla. So please stop making me beg you and please go shower."

I looked at Finley. Not saying a single word. I didn't say anything but I got up anyways. I climbed out of my bed slowly and walked to my bathroom door.

"Hey fin?"

Finley stopped at my door and looked back at me. I was standing in my bathroom doorway. Leaning against the frame.

"You're a good brother. Thank you."

Finley smiled at me but he didn't say anything. I didn't either. I just walked into my bathroom and shut the door behind me.

"Dress up but not skanky."

Finley's words rang out in my head as I stood in my closet. I searched for the right outfit. Cute but not skanky. I ended up deciding on a cute outfit.

Floral print shorts that look almost like a pale pink and light purple color mix. A Lacey halter top that goes with the shorts. The strings of the halter top matching the shorts along with the wide strap that ties around the middle of my back.
