my voice cracks with anger. "all of this, it's too much. i can't stay here, it's bad luck. i need to get away"
"get away?" his voice is laced with concern. "what do you mean?"
"i just need to go, move away, someplace else with a new job and new people and a new life" my breaths become quicker.
"faye" finn exhales. "i understand you're mad, but-"
"mad? finn, this goes beyond mad" i spit out the words, my voice quivering.
"faye, i know this hurts, i really do"
he reaches out to comfort me, his hand gently squeezing my shoulder. "but you can't just run away from everything. you can't leave because of what they did"
"you don't understand! i need to leave because staying here feels like a never ending nightmare" my voice rises.
finn sighs, running a hand through his hair.
"look, i won't pretend to understand what you're going through, but running away won't solve anything. you need time to heal, not escape"
i feel my chest constricting. "how can i heal when everything around me is a constant reminder?"
tears begin to fill up my eyes before finn pulls me into a tight hug.
"i'm so sorry faye, i'll try to help you through this, but please, don't make a bad decision" his voice is barely above a whisper.
"take some time, think things through. we can figure this out together, okay?"
i sob into his shoulder, letting all my emotions pour out. "i don't know what to do"
"i mean" i pull away, sniffling. "i expected something like this from sades- sadie, but... marcus?"
he sighs, running his fingers through my hair. "maybe you should just stop trusting people"
i force a chuckle, wiping away my tears. "starting with you"
"except me" he points out with a soft laugh.

2 days pass by, still no sign of a confrontation.
i make an effort to steer clear of my phone, relying on finns one for anything necessary, as well as spending all my time with him.
this allows us to tick off all those movies we've been planning to watch for years, and do the things from our long forgotten bucket list.
it works as an amazing distraction, putting my mind away from the fact that i'm never finding love that's real, platonic or not.
"hey, finn?" i shift towards him on the couch, leading him to pause the screen.
he turns towards me. "yeah?"
i smack my lips with a sigh. "you think i should talk to marcus?"
"what about the other one?" he raises a brow.
"oh, she can rot in hell"
he lets out an amused chuckle, shaking his head. "keep that energy up"
"seriously, though" i shrug. "should i?"
"what would you say to him?"
"that he's a miserable little bitch that can't be trusted and he ruined my life even more than it already was, along with the other miserable little bitch who just can't keep it in her pants and has to fuck everyone i know" i deadpan.
finn nods, stifling a laugh. "very mature. but, how about this, you just cut them off like a normal person?"
"hmm, i could try that" i nod.
