you've liked this boy for years now. finney blake. four years ago, he was kidnapped by the grabber. you tried to solve the case of the missing boys but, of course, you were only thirteen.

you're older now. yet you still have the same dumb childhood crush. only, finney is different since he escaped that basement. he's cold, shut off, fights, smokes his life away.

you're sitting on the grass after school, it's fall. the weather is perfect. you're reading your book since you don't feel like going home yet. your book gets pulled out of your hands and you look up. this boy has been bothering you for weeks. william barney. asshole.
