"follow me." finn grabbed your hand and walked you over to his car.
"what? where are we going?"
"you'll see."
you got into his car as he started driving. you tried speaking but he made you stay quiet.
♡♡♡
you arrived at a grassy field, with a stage at the very front.
"what's this?" you asked him.
"it's this, like, outdoor concert thing. there's food, too. and it's fun. i promise."
"okay, who's performing?"
"just local people. no one really big, but that's okay, right?"
"yeah. yeah, of course."
"so, i'll, uh, get a blanket so we don't have to sit on the grass."
"yeah. sounds good." you sighed.
finn came back with a blanket and walked with you to the middle of the field. he set the blanket down and signaled you to sit down.
"i'm gonna get food. wanna come?" he asked you.
"yeah, definitely." you chuckled.
he smiled and pulled you up.
you went to the back of the field and grabbed a plate filled with food. finn did the same and took you back to the blanket. it was slightly windy, and very dark.
"what time is it?" you asked him.
"shh. time doesn't matter." he said.
"um, i'm- i'll be right back. i'm calling nick to tell him to get the car. i'll just text him when we need to be picked up and he'll get us." he said.
"finn, are- are you crazy?"
"i don't want to worry about time at all."
finn stood up and you faintly heard his voice talking to nick. you sighed as people started coming onto the stage and set up. more people arrived onto the field.
jesus, what the hell is he thinking?
he came back on the field and sat down next to you.
"okay, my dad's driving him to get the car." he said.
"are you sure this is gonna be okay?" you asked.
"yeah. don't worry. nick's coming back later with my car. everything will be fine. i swear."
"okay." you whispered.
"wait. i don't have a ride." you told him.
"nick can drive you!" he said.
"no, my mom is gonna wonder where i was the whole night if she hears a car pull into the driveway. how far is this place? i'll just walk home."
"it's not too bad, but are you sure you'll be okay getting home? i'm sure nick wouldn't mind."
"no, no, it's fine. you guys have given me enough after all this time."
"well, only if you're okay with that, then i am, too." he told you.
"yeah, i am." you smiled and rested your head on his shoulder.
as more people came, the field became full and the concert began. the music was loud, but you didn't mind. you danced along to the music with finn. he seemed like he was having so much fun. you forgot about all your worries and enjoyed the time you had with him.
the concert was going on for a few hours and people began leaving.
"finn, people are leaving." you told him.
he shrugged. "well, we're staying." he responded.
"y/n, don't pay attention to them." he said.
you sighed.
"okay, this is our last song!" the performers said from the stage.
you and finn and a few other people still remained on the field. he looked you in the eye.
"we're still not leaving." he told you with a stern voice.
"okay." you nodded.
the song began to play. it was slow. you rested against finn and listened to the song. when it ended, the people on the field left, leaving only you and finn right in the middle. you yawned and moved your head onto his shoulder. it was completely quiet.
"you're the best thing that's ever happened to me." he told you.
"no. no, you're the best thing that's ever happened to me." you said.
"i'm serious. i don't know who i would be without you." you told him.
he kissed the top of your head.
"i've never been so happy." he said.
you closed your eyes and moved even closer to him.
he picked up his phone from his lap.
"holy- holy shit. i didn't realize how late it was." he said.
"what time is it?" you said, getting nervous.
"it's 3:57."
"AM." he said.
"fuck." you whispered.
"do you want to get going?" you asked.
"s- sure. yeah. if you're okay with that."
"i am, yeah." you said.
"uh, okay. i'll text nick."
after a few minutes of talking, you saw the lights from the car. you both remained where you were and glanced at each other. you swallowed, ignoring the lump in your throat and pulled him into a tight hug. once you separated, you felt the lump again. you let out a shaky breath.
