42- Punishments & Farewells

JACK's P.O.V.
- Reylynn? What are you doing here?
- In London? Or in your hotel room?
- Both?
- I need to talk to you.
- About...?
- Talia, of course
- Ugh. No, thanks
- Jack! We need to talk about this
- Hm, no we don't. We don't NEED to talk about anything, Reylynn.
- Haven't you seen her livestream?
- Of course I did
- So? What are you gonna do?
- I'm gonna asume full responsibility of my actions and explain everything to my followers
- They're gonna kill you
- What? I just made a mistake and I'm about to accept my mistakes
- Are you really sorry tho? Besides, you did a video like a week ago about vaping and smoking. They're getting tired
- What do you want, Reylynn?
- Do you blame me? For all that happened?
- I do, yeah.
- I'm not any more guilty than you are
- At least I regret it
- I do too
- Do you?
- I regret getting caught. I was just being a good friend with you
- And a bad friend with her
- Why didn't you say something sooner, then?
- Cause I was a stupid kid
- Finn's really changing you. Isn't he?
- For the best.
- You are who you are, Jack. People doesn't change. You're a kid who smokes to get away from his problems, a kid who hurts himself, and an asshole who believes himself better than the rest. You've always been like that, and you'll always be that way.
- You're so wrong. I'm so mad at you right now
- What are you gonna do? Be abusive with me too?
- I'm gonna ask you to leave
- You're unbelievable
- Bye, Reylynn. I hope I never have to see you again
- Same, Jack. Same
I close the door behind her, and sit next to it, crying.
Maybe she's right, and I can't change. Maybe it's too late. Too many years being an asshole...
But I have to give it a shot. For Finn.

JAEDEN's P.O.V.
- How did you even got into a fight in the airport, young man!?
- I wasn't fighting, mum. Wyatt and Finn...
- Wyatt? And Finn?
- They were fighting for Jack
- Ugh, that kid's being so much trouble lately
- MUM!
- What?
- His dad died, and a lot of things happened, but he's trying to get over it. Maybe not always doing the right thing, but at least he's trying
- Sorry kiddo.
- So... you told me you got news. What's going on?
- You're going to lots of cons this month! For work
- Cool! I like cons! I don't love work, but I can stand it. Where? Who am I going with?
- Some with your friends, some with me
- Just me?
- And me...- she frowns
- Yeah, you know what I mean
- Yeah, Jae. Just you
- That's a lot to take
- I know you get nervous, and I know you're really shy when it comes to meeting fans, but I also know you can get over it, honey.
- I know. I'll have a great time
- Enjoy it!
- Where?- I ask again
- All around the world. Montreal, Miami, Cali, Argentina, Toronto...
- Argentina? Cool! I've never been there
- I'm glad you're happy about it, cause there's where we're going alone
- Okay. When?
- May
- Awesome! I have to tell Andy! He's gonna be so happy! He told me the food there is amazing
- Is that so!? I hope it is! We sure love food
- We do
As soon as I get home, I call Andy
- Hey! Jaeden! What's up?
- I'm going to Argentina!!
- You're kidding! That's amazing! When?
- In May
- Nice! You know... last year, I promised them that I was gonna take you guys there someday. They're gonna be so happy
- I'm happy!
- Oh, by the way, be careful. They get really excited really easily, and you're pretty shy... but don't take it the wrong way. It's just how us Argentinians are
- Oh, okay...
- Just relax, and you'll have a great time
- I'll try
- Did you find out about Finn?
- The rehab centre? Yeah, I was there
- That sucks! How much time is he gonna be there?
- As much as he needs to be, I guess
- I hope he's ready for IT
- He will be

WYATT's P.O.V.
I get home, and Sophs is waiting for me.
She runs to me and hugs me
- YOU'RE ALRIGHT!
- Hey...- I whisper
- Are you okay?
- Finn's going to a rehab centre.
I never had the chance to really talk about it, and I just need a shoulder to cry. I mean, my best friend's going to rehab.
I still can't believe it
She takes me to my bedroom, where she asks
- What did you just say?
- Finn's going to a rehab centre
- What the fuck!? Why?
- Because of his anxiety and panic attacks. He's pretty bad, Sophs
- That sucks...
- I know
- Will he be allowed to have visitors?
My phone starts ringing
- It's a text from Finn!
- What does it say?
- Finn just sent me the address! He can have visitors on weekends.
- That's good. Right?- Sophia asks
- Yeah. I guess so. It'll be weird not to go anywhere with him, but at least I can see him... and talk to him every once in a while
- Is he allowed to use his phone?
- No. He said goodbye, in case I'm not able to visit him
- What does he even mean? Of course you'll be able to visit. Right?
- Yeah, sure. I mean... I'll try to have my weekends free
My mum opens my bedroom's door
- I just accepted some invitations to cons
- What? When?
- Your tour starts in 2 weeks
- Mum! But... Finn...
- I already said yes, Wyatt. Finn'll have to wait
- That's so unfair!
- You always liked conventions
- But Finn's in a rehab centre and I need to visit him
- The others can visit him while you're away
- I will.- Sophia smiles at me
- But mum! What the fuck? What the actual fuck
- Wyatt Jess Oleff!! Language!
- I'm serious, mum! You always ask first. What the fuck is going on
- I think you should stay away from your friends for a while
- What?
- Sorry?- Sophia asks
- Oh, not you, sweetie. I'm talking about Finn, and Jack, and...
- And?- I ask, getting up
- Jaeden
- He's not my friend, mum. He's my boyfriend, and I won't stop seeing him or any other of the losers club. They're all I have
- You have me
- You're not my friend
- That's harsh- Sophia whispers
- They're bad influence on you, Wyatt
- They're not. They're the best part of me. Without them, I wouldn't be alive
- Okay, that's a little dramatic- mum says
- You really have no idea
- What are you talking about?- Sophia asks
- I was done, mum. Before IT? I was ready to finish it. I had no friends. Rocco and I had just got into a fight, and I had no one else. Until I met Jaeden, and the rest of you guys.- I look at Sophia, and fake a smile- Everyone at school treated me like garbage. I never found my spot there, and I got tired. IT and this Losers saved me. So don't you dare trying to tear us apart.
I turn round to find Sophia crying
- Wyatt. I had no idea
Mum hugs me
- I'm so sorry
- I need you to understand
- You'll have to go to this events now. I said yes
- You know I won't go alone. Right? They'll probably call Jaeden, or Sophia, or Jack to go.
- Yeah... I know
- Why would you think they're bad influence?
- I just got you out of the airport's prison.
- Hah, makes sense.

FINN's P.O.V.
The first week in the centre goes by and I don't feel any difference. I feel more anxiety than before, cause I'm just waiting till Saturday to see some of my friends, and especially Jack.
I have to take a pill every night. It is supposed to calm me down, but I don't think it actually works.
Every night I lie in bed, and spend hours thinking about everyone. About my friends, my family, and everyone I disappointed by being here and not out there. My fans... the Duffers, and Andy.
The doctors keep trying to make me understand I try not to end up here, but my anxiety is just too strong. I care about negative comments too much.
- Wolfhard? A visit- the guard opens my door, and let Ayla, Jack and Malcolm in
- GUYS!- I scream
I hug them, and smile
- Finnie! How are ya?- Ayla asks
- Bored as fuck
- I can see. This place is so boring. So white...
- So not you- Malcolm adds
- So how's the band going?
- It's not going- Jack replies
- What do you mean?
- We're not gonna be Calpurnia without you. We just can't.
- What?
- We're gonna wait for you, Finn.
- Together til the very end. Remember?
I just nod
- We know music is your real passion, Frog- Malcolm says- So even if you don't ever come back to acting, please don't give up on music
- I won't. Thanks guys
We hug each other, and catch up.
