Chapter 94: I don't understand these flashes

River POV

I made it down the stairs after stopping a few times. I should have taken her elevator.

I keep getting flashes in my head. Old memories maybe. They are just super quick and they don't make sense. They just keep making me dizzy.

Flashes of a boy walking in front of me with black hair he's holding someone's hands but I can't see the other person. My old school possibly it's hard to tell the flashes are so fast.

I can't make out his face but when he looks at me I can feel a flash of warmth and tingling throughout my body. I can't remember anyone making me feel like before I met Finn.

I'm so confused. I don't understand what my mind is trying to show me. It's just making me dizzy and sick to my stomach. The water helped a little. Maybe I'm getting a memory back something must have triggered it.

I stop against the wall to take a breath. I close my eyes for a minute. My head is foggy and it kinda hurts now. I'm dizzy again.

Warm arms wrap around me and I can tell it's Finn by his soft touch.

"Baby what happened?" He whispers as he puts his forehead to mine. I can feel his warm breath on my face and it comforts me.

"I don't know" I say quietly, squeezing my eyes tightly.

He cups my face and kisses my nose.

I finally open my eyes and look at him.

Flashes of the boy, this time as he walks away I feel sad and confused. Why can I feel the emotions of this memory when I can't see the boy? It's confusing. I close my eyes again he takes my hand.

I'm shaking and my chest is tight. It's getting hard to breathe.

"Take a few breaths, just like I showed you" he whispers to me. "It's just us. Feel my breath on your face."

I start breathing and counting like he showed me.

"That's my girl" he says as he kisses my head.

I take a few breaths. In and Out. I can smell him so close to me and to pulls me back to him.

"Do you want to tell me doll?" He says softly, still close to me. I nod and open my eyes.

"It's was so fast. Flashes of a memory but they are fast and blurry. I don't know. I don't understand what happened. I was fine. I'm sorry"

I grab my head and rub it trying to clear my thoughts closing my eyes again. He squeezes my hand in his.

"Baby Doll don't apologize." He says kissing my cheeks.

"Is she okay? What happened?" A deep voice breaks through my cloudy thoughts.

I open my eyes. I recognize Lucky's voice right away. Great I'm sure he has some more judging things to say.

"I'm fine Lucky" I hiss out not even looking at him.

Finn looks between us and then looks down at me.

He looks at me for a while and then he squeezes my hand he's holding.

He's probably wondering why I'm being so cold to Lucky. He looks at questionable but doesn't speak.

Lucky's looking at me curiously and I just want him to leave me alone for a minute.

"Sorry! I say looking at Finn. "Yes I'm fine Lucky thanks for asking" I say looking at him.

He holds my eyes for a moment then turns his eyes to Finn.

"Are you sure she's okay?" He asks Finn.

Why is he suddenly caring if I'm okay?

He's a ass and changes personalities quickly. He's like Jekyll and Hyde and it's irritating me.

He has burns like mine in the same pattern even. That's all we have in common though, I don't even know if I'd want him as friend now either.

"What do you guys need?" he asks Finn as he looks back over at me.

"Baby doll you need anything?" Finn asks moving some hair from my face.

I look at Lucky and shake my head.

"We're okay man. Thank you for checking" Finn says fist bumping him.

Lucky turns and starts walking away.

He turns back and meets my eyes, he just holds my eyes then he shakes his head and turns and walks away.

I don't understand him. He don't like me but he's quick to come make sure I'm okay, that's twice tonight. Is he just sitting somewhere watching me. That's creepy. He's even more confusing then anything else.

I can't take anything else confusing at this point.

"Let's go sit down at our seats or do you want to go up to the office?" Finn asks leaning closer to my ear.

"Our seats" I say as he puts his arm around my waist.

I quickly take a drink out of my flask. I mean, it can't hurt right. I hold it up to him.

He shakes his head and pushes the hand with water in it up a little bit. I take the hint and drink a few swallows.

He grabs my hand and starts leading us to our

seats.

As I'm sitting Chailor looks at my face and says

"Sweet face, what happened?" She asks as I take my seat next to her.

I'm still kinda shaky and not really sure how to describe any of it.

"Shhhh" The drunk guy behind says loudly. He's pissing me off.

"I'll tell you later" I say quickly rolling my eyes.

"Ladies and gentlemen with our last draw in the  amateur fights. We have in the black and teal shorts, D. Nunzio and in the in the red shorts J. Martinez"

We all start cheering and clapping.

I watch as they come out. He looks so sexy and confident. I remember how his face lights up when he smiles and I can feel warmth and tingling throughout my body.

They meet in the middle and bumped their hands together, then they go to their corners.

The bell rings and they both start hopping around the ring.

Nunzio punchs the guy right in the face. Blood pours out.

I wince and my stomach turns.

I close my eyes. When I open them they are both on the ground and Nunzio has the guy in what looks like a chokehold but he has his whole body wrapped around him.

He looks up and makes eye contact with me.

My heart skips a beat and I'm holding his stare which makes me dizzy. I sway a little bit on my feet but Finn is quick to steady me as he slips his arm around my waist.

"Are you okay doll?" He asks quickly.

I can't talk so I just nod.

The guy starts tapping on the mat. The referee blows a whistle and nothing happens.

The referee goes and taps Nunzio's arm and he let's go.

The crowd cheers and the referee holds up his arm. During this whole thing his eyes haven't left mine.

He then looks away and meets Finn's eyes and smiles from ear to ear.
