《Country Living - Finn Harries (JacksGap)》Chapter 6: Letters and Gifts
Advertisement
'Dear Morgan, I will forewarn you that I will say 'I wish I were home' a billion times in this letter and it will still not express my want to come home. Although New York is cool and all, it will never beat Florence and you and everyone else. I've had so many people ask me about my accent (It's getting annoying). And, get this, they ask me if I like Tennessee football (It has been the struggle trying not to explode into Alabama pride...).'
I laughed a little before I began to read more of the letter. The more I read, the more my eyes watered and wanted to spill. It made me miss Kennedy even more.
'I got you some stuff to cover for your birthday, Christmas, and graduation. Mom has been strict on who I talk to, so this might be the only time I get to talk to you and send you stuff. James (the step-guy) gave me an unlimited credit card so I wouldn't have to ask him for money, so I got you some cool stuff. You don't have to give me anything, especially since Mom is checking and making sure I don't get to see anything from Florence (but if you want to go on my iTunes account and put some gift cards on there, that would be cool. J). Tell Mrs. Jenny that I think about her all the time, and that yall will always be in my prayers. Hopefully we'll see each other soon, or when Aslan calls, or when we're invited to an Order of the Phoenix meeting. Just not at the Hunger Games, please. Love you with all my Disney addicted, Rowling loving, and bully hating heart, Kennedy.'
I finished reading the letter, wiping my face with my shirt sleeve. "Aw... I wish I had friends like that." Jack said. "Ugh, don't cry, Morgan." I said to myself. "Let's see what she got you." Finn said, sitting down on the other side of the boxes. I pulled on the tissue paper to reveal all the stuff Kennedy got me. Jewelry, like bracelets, necklaces and earrings, were in the box, along with a Canon camera, a laptop, some black Beats, and a few different phone cases. There was also a new flat iron, a curling wand set, a new hairdryer, and a large pallet of makeup. In the second box, there was a pair of high waisted jean shorts, 3 really cute plaid shirts, 2 belts, and 3 pairs of Converses: one black, one lilac purple, and one pokkadotted pair. 'Wear this to the Summer Hoedown. If I find out that you didn't go, I'm so going to win the Hunger Games against you. ♥ K.' a note in the box said. "Look at that, you even have an outfit. You have to go now." Finn said. "And you guys have to come with me." I said. "What?!" Jack asked in a girly voice. "Yeah, since you guys are so into me going, you have to go with me. Like Finn said earlier, you guys aren't here to just work on the farm." I said. "That's true, I did say that." Finn said. "But, I have nothing to wear." Jack said. "Oh, come on. Just some jeans and some plaid. I bet Josh left some plaid, maybe even some boots. You guys have to come." I said. "I'm in." Finn said, winking at me. "Sure, I guess I have to be in as well." Jack said. "Great, now, you guys can help me with chores." I said, making Jack groan and Finn laugh.

⚠️ MATURE⚠️ This story contains strong use of language and mature scenes. If you are offended easily do not read. ________________________________________________I felt something tug my hair behind my ear and I snuggled my head deeper into the pillow. Suddenly I felt someone straddle my back. I gasped and my eyes flew open as I swung my hands forward to push myself up and whatever was on me off. I groaned as I fell back down to the heavy weight, someone was on top of me. The person grabbed my hands and held them above my head with a firm grip. "P-please let go of m-me" I choked out, tears starting to run down my face from fear. "You are so beautiful." A male voice whispered in my ear as he grabbed my bottom, squeezing it.I screamed but got cut off as he put his hand over my mouth, flipping my body around. He was now sitting on my middle section. He was wearing all black, I could tell that it was the man from earlier. He has a cloth mask on, opening for his eyes and mouth only. Cold brown eyes met my green ones and I whined in fear as he stayed deadly still, studying my face.My shirt had rode up past my belly button during the struggle and his eyes raked over my showing skin, lust filling them. I struggled, trying to move my legs and arms to get away but he was too strong. "If you scream again, I'm going to kill you." He growled. I groaned in response, tears running down my face. He slowly released his hand from my mouth and reached into his pocket pulling out a knife and zip tie. I figured that if I didn't scream I would want to die if this man took me so I did what I had to do. I let out a bloodcurdling scream loud enough to wake up the whole entire neighborhood.
