47
Dotty laid down in her bed, her cousins laying their beds as she opened the snapchat Fionn had sent her only moments prior. She let out a squeak of shock, her eyes widening as Fionn sent a picture of him pulling a face....whilst shirtless. She was not expecting that.
Her cousins sat up confused as she held the phone close to her face with her eyes widened. "What's up?" Seamus asked her.
"N-nothing."
Niall guffawed, "sure....come on spill, little one."
"I'm not little! Im taller than you! Why does everyone call me little when I am taller then them?" She cried putting her phone down and glaring at the three boys.
"Because...wait who else are you taller than?" Sebastian raised his eyebrows. "You're taller than Frank aren't you?"
"Frank?! Who the hell is Frank?!"
"Your boyfriend! Jesus, Dot, You've forgotten his name already!"
"His name is Fionn, Seb! F! I! O! N! N! Fionn!" Dotty retorted.
Seamus' nose crinkled up as he looked at his cousin weirdly, "Feeon?"
"It's Fionn! Like a dolphin has a fin! It's pronounced Finn! Jesus H Christ, it rhymes with bin!"
Niall laughed once more, "He sounds like a bin!"
"I'm sorry?" Dotty asked them.
"Any big who tries to date you is a bin! Rubbish filled!"
"What's that supposed to mean, Seamus?"
"You're too young to have a boyfriend! It's clear he only-"
"Why don't you stay out of my business!" She snapped, cuttin him off, rolling over and covering her face with her duvet.
"You're nineteen Dotty! How old is he?"
"Twenty." She told them, grumbling.
"Exactly! No guys go for a beautiful younger girl like yourself because they actually like you!"
Dotty has enough. She had been at her grandparents for all of two hours and it was nearing two in the morning when she stormed out of the bedroom and down the stairs. The three boys sighed, laying down in their beds to sleep letting Dotty to 'calm her tits' as Niall had put it.
Dotty slipped on her shoes that sat by the door and exited the back door, leading to the back yard and farm. She ignored the mud sloshing beneath her feet as she headed towards the barn that she and her cousin always messed around in, the metal slide and ladder still leaning against hay stacks.
She climbed the ladder and sat on the top of a pile of stacks, her feet dangling down and a view of the clear night sky over the farm to calm her.
She took a photo on snapchat and posted it saving it too, enjoying the view of the stars as she let herself calm down from what Niall, Seamus and Seb had said about Fionn, who they didn't know at all.
It was late, she didn't care though, she had slept in the car. She sighed, steam tumbling from her lips as the crisp night air mixed with her hot breath.
Her phone pinged and she looked down, to see a text from Tom.
Tom;
Nice view, but why are yi still awake and outside? x
Dotty:
Just wanted some clear air and space, why are you up? x
Tom:
Couldn't sleep. Why do you need space? Everything arite? x
Dotty:
Everything is good, why can't you sleep? x
Tom:
Just can't x
Before she could reply to him, she was cut off by a phone call, strangely from Fionn. Why was he awake?
"Dot?" Fionn Asked, his voice deep and full of tiredness.
"Hey." She replied, her voice not so tired and deep.
"Why are you outside? The last picture you sent you were in bed. Is everything okay?" He asked her.
Dotty didn't want to lie but she didn't want to tell him that her family already disapprove of him and they had been dating barely three days.
"Everything is fine. I slept on the way so I'm not that tired. I'm on some haystacks right now. Why are you awake? Sleep is like your hobby." She laughed at the end, plucking at some hay.
"Eh, I was watching a movie and flicked onto Snapchat and saw yours. Are you sure you're alright, you sound a little pissed off?" She could hear Fionn yawn in the background, his hand obviously covering the speaker so that she couldn't hear it that much.
"I'm fine, Fionn, you're yawning go to sleep." She told him, "I'll talk to you later."
Before she could end the call Fionn spoke, "if you want to tell me just tell me whenever, but if you don't you don't have to. Goodnight, Dot."
"Night." She whispered for an unknown reason as the call stopped.
She didn't reply to Tom either. She switched her phone off fully and shuffled back into the tack and laying down, her head where her bum once was and her arms beneath it. Dotty stared up at the stars again, muttering names of stars and constellations under her breath, finally her eyes stopped on the two stars and she and Fionn named after each other.
They were the last things she remembered seeing before she fell asleep on top of the hay stacks in the barn.
They were also the things Fionn saw last as he stared up out of the window that was above his head in his room.
They fell asleep under the same stars, in different places, thinking of each other.
