Daria burst into tears as she watched Finn leave.
This wasn’t what she planned, she planned on telling him later when they get home but it looks like she was already late.
Oliver came later on and she explained everything to him.
He just stared at her and said nothing.
“Why didn’t you tell him when he asked you?”, He asked.
“It isn’t easy for me to say it, I don’t even like thinking of my past and I don’t want him to h@ťě me.”, She said.
“I told you that Finn loves too much, he still forgives even when someone does something that hurt him very much. You should have just told him and let him make his decision.”, He said.
“I’m sorry Oliver, I didn’t keep my promise. I guess you h@ťě me so much now.”, She said.
“Who said I h@ťě you? I’m just upset that you lied to Finn.”, He replied.
“Can you please talk to Finn? I promise that I won’t keep anything from him anymore.”, She pleaded.
“Finn won’t talk to me, I’m sure of that. I think you should settle this when you get home.”, He advised and she nodded.

“Hello guys! We have a new student in our class, I hope you guys welcome her.”, The teacher said and everyone looked excited.
“New girl you can come inside.”, The teacher said and she entered.
“Good morning guys! My name is Frankie, it’s nice to meet you.”, She said and smiled and Leo just stared at her.
“Hey! Concentrate, stop staring at her like that, we all know she’s beautiful.”, Dew hit Leo’s head and Leo sneered at him.
“Take that empty seat.”, The teacher said pointing at the seat beside Leo.
“Good morning! I’m Leo.”, He said and she nodded with a smile.
“I hope you and your friends don’t disturb her, if she reports any one of you then I will deal with you all.”, The teacher warned.
“We won’t, trust me.”, The teacher said.
“You are no one anyone should trust, anyways let’s get back to the teaching.”
“If you need any help or have any questions, you can just ask me.”, He said and she nodded.
<<< Finn’s house
“Daria I did what you said, I reconciled with Rick, I told him that I was going to accept his friendship.”, Max said happily.
“That’s good, it’s good to know that you have a friend now. At least you will no longer be lonely.”, Daria said and sighed.
“What’s wrong? You are moody and dad’s not talking to me at all, did you two fight?”, He asked.
“He’s mad at me.”, She replied.
“Why?”
“Because I did something wrong, I was supposed to tell him something and I didn’t.”, She replied.
“Then you should meet him and apologize, my dad doesn’t stay angry for long. Anytime we have an argument and we fight, he always come back to talk to me.”, He said.
“But this is different.”, She thought.
“Just go and meet him in his room and apologize.”, Max said dragging Daria towards Finn’s room.
“What if he doesn’t listen to me?”
“He would later give in once he sees how persistent you are to settle it.”, He replied.
“Good luck.”, He said and pushed Daria inside his room.
Finn was working but his mind wasn’t even there.
He had so many questions to ask Daria, he heard all their conversations and somehow he hoped that it wasn’t true but Daria didn’t deny it.
He looked up to look at Daria when she entered his room and then he looked away.
“I am not in the mood to talk, I’m tired.”, He said as he walked past her but she was fast to hold his hand.
“Finn please….!”, She pleaded and he just removed his hand from hers.
“Please give me a chance to explain everything to you.”, She said and he just stood there waiting for her explanation.
“I had one night stand with Henry but it was because I was desperately in need of money for my sick brother. Believe me I regret everything that happened, I regret it every single day.”, She said as tears rolled down.
“You didn’t only lie that you didn’t know Henry before now, you also lied about not having any family, you told me you were the only one.”, He said and Daria bursted into more tears.
“I said that because I didn’t want to keep bothering kady, who accommodated my brother and I. If I didn’t lie about that, I might not have a chance to live here.”, She said.
“I would have asked you and your brother to live with me. I don’t know why everyone keeps lying to me, were you planning on hiding this forever? Do you plan on deceiving me forever? What should I do for you not to lie to me?”
“I just didn’t you to leave me and h@ťě me.”, She replied.
“Did you think that because of your past, my love for you will decrease? Elise has cheated on me severally with Henry and yet I wanted to be with her and now because of one single mistake, you think I will just h@ťě you. Do you even believe that I love you?”
“I’m sorry Finn…. I guess that I am just like Elise.”, She said.
“Yes you are just the same.”, He said and left the room angrily and Daria fell on the ground to cry.
The door opened again and Finn entered again.
“I’m sorry, I take back what I said, you are nothing like Elise.”, He said and he hugged her.
“I’m sorry for getting mad.”, He said comforting her.
“I’m sorry Finn, I promise not to lie to you again.”, She said.
“It’s okay! Why are you still crying?”
“I thought you were going to break up with me.”, She said trying to stop more tears from flowing.
“Huh? I didn’t even think of that, I only planned on not talking to you. I can never break up with you, you are the only one that can end our relationship and even if you want to end it, I will make sure I don’t let go of you.”, He said.
“Why would want to break up with you? I asked you out first, you are the one that can only end our relationship.”, She said.
“Let’s not just think of ending this relationship, instead let’s think of taking it to the next level.”, He said and Daria looked at him.
“What level?”
“Marriage”, he replied and she started choking on her spit.
“Are you afraid of getting married?”, He asked.
“It’s not that, I just …. I just didn’t expect that.”, She shuttered and he laughed.
“Don’t worry we will take our time but anyways I want to meet your brother since he is your only family.”, He said.
“He also wants to see you.”, She replied and Finn smiled.
“What’s he like?”
“Annoying, outspoken, troublesome, unserious, lazy, stubborn….!”, Daria was still talking when Finn cut her off.
“You didn’t even say something nice about him, it looks like I will like him and he might get along with max.”, Finn said.
“That’s because he doesn’t have any good quality —- I think he has one, he is protective of me. That is the only good thing I can say about him.”
“Do you think max will like him?”, Finn asked.
“With my brother’s personality, they might fight sometimes and get along sometimes.”, She replied.
★★★
So what do you think? Do you think Leo and max will get along? ?
Imagine how their first meeting will be and Leo’s meeting with Finn.
How do you think it would turn out to be?
Leo and Frankie, I see what you did there ?
Not Daria saying the bad sides of Leo ?
