Chapter 17: The End of the Night

Gwen released her arm from Finn’s hand, anger replacing her previous nervousness. She wasn’t that rude to his mother anyway. Mrs. Lane had been much worse, with her rude implications and sneering looks.

So why did Gwen have to accept that and stay quiet like a submissive person? She wasn’t going to accept it, especially not from his mother.

“Maybe you should ask her instead. I don’t owe you any explanation,” she replied, looking at Finn in disappointment.

It wasn’t his fault though, and she knew that. Finn had no idea of the shared history between the two women, but Gwen wasn’t going to be the one to tell him anything. He wouldn’t believe her anyway.

“What do you mean ask her? You two just met,” Finn said, also angry.

Gwen gulped.

“I don’t have to say anything to you, okay? And you know what? I’m going home with Cody. This party is over for me. Actually, it didn’t even begin.”

“No, you’re not,” Finn refused.
