chapter/day eight

Dear journal,

Yesterday when Finny and I were outside and I saw him reach for his crutches I didn’t think much of it. I was used to seeing him on them from last year when he broke his ankle. The only difference is this accident was my fault. I started saying prayers again because Finny was back. I felt like he needed them because I wanted him to be okay and maybe god could help him. “What is all this crap about no maids!”(Phineas, pg 97) is what I woke up to this morning. I feel bad that Finny can’t do anything himself anymore and needs help for everything. Brinker ran into my room today and when he saw that Finny was back he got extremely excited. Brinker wanted to know if I wanted to enlist today and Finny was not very happy about that. He didn’t want me to enlist because he didn’t believe in the war and didn’t want me to be a part of it. He was actually very shocked that I was going to. I will never forget the way Finny’s face was when he thought I was leaving him on his first day back with us. The architecture at our school wasn’t like a normal school either. It was pink marble and had things such as chandeliers. I like that our school isn’t like every other.
