Forbidden Love/ Fack/ Jyatt (Book 1) FINISHED

43- Visitors & Suicidals

FINN's P.O.V.
Still on rehab...
This place is not TERRIBLE but I'm in the same place as suicidal people, and some depressive ones. I can't really see how that can help me. I don't think I'm a depressive guy. I'm happy. I am.
I mean, my roommate tried to suicide twice already. He's 15.
I would never try to end my life. I would never commit suicide, so I wish they would classify us and divide us depending on WHY we're here.
On the other hand, I got to learn a lot about him, and got to understand more about the fascination with pain. Not that I totally agree with it. I still think it's crazy to do it. I don't have the balls to do it.
But I got to understand more about Jack's pain and what he feels. Now I think I'm a little more careful and try to check on the others as much as I can. Maybe because I don't want my roommie to die right in front of me....- don't get me wrong- I don't want him to die at all.
He's an amazing roommate, his name is Colin, and I wouldn't want to have another partner next to me, except- obviously- Jack. Or Jaeden, or Wyatt, and probably Noah.
I would prefer any of my friends, but he's cool.
The only thing I HATE about being his roommate is that I can't write. I LITERALLY can't.
It's not his fault tho. This centre is REALLY strict and extremist. If you have a roommate prone to commit suicide, you can't have paper,-cause he may selfharm- you can't have neither a pen or a pencil,- cause he may stuck it on his veins or something- and OF COURSE, you can't have a cellphone- cause... you have to be isolated from the outside world-.
So no new music, no scripts, no books, no NOTHING. It's pretty boring.
Anyways, with the full activity schedule I have to accomplish every day, I don't have much time to think about it. And on my free time? I sleep, or work out- Yeah, I said work out.- I've never worked out so hard in my life! I'm even starting to notice the difference
Saturdays are still my favorite days. Every Saturday, I get to see Jack and my friends.
- So today marks two weeks since you're here- Colin says with a smile on his face
That's something I haven't learnt to tell yet. I never know if people's smiles are real or they're just faking...
- Yey!- I smile
- Is everything okay?- he asks
- Yeah, I just...
- Miss Jack- he completes my sentence
- Wow, we just met two weeks ago and you're already finishing my sentences. I must be pretty predictable.
- You're not. You just miss Jack a LOT.
I laugh. He's right. I do...
- You'll see him today. In a little bit
- I know! I'm super excited!
- So is Noah coming?
- I don't actually know. I can't like... ask him or something cause I don't have a mobile
- Touché
- Is your family visiting today?
- Like every Saturday
Colin's friends kinda "ditched" him the second time he tried to kill himself. They never visited him. A pretty heartless move if you ask me...
- Finn?- I hear three knocks on my door
- Visitors- Colin whispers.- I'll leave you guys alone
- Thank you, Col.
I open the door, and instantly hug them.
- Sads! Noah! I've missed you!
- We did too!- Sadie says
- Wow. Have you been working out?- Noah asks
- Yeah. I have... but try not to fall for me- I joke
- A little too late- he whispers, but I hear him anyways.
I ignore the comment, and smile
- So how are you guys?
- We... have a couple of news
- News? From the outside?
- Yeah, do you think you can take them?- Sadie asks
- I don't know. You guys tell me
- I don't know if he should know... not now- Noah shakes his head
- Okay, now I wanna know
- The Duffers took your character off Stranger Things
- WHAT!?- I can't help but shouting.
- Mike's not a part of season 3. At all
I look down.
I don't know how to feel about this. I mean, I never thought I'd go back to acting, but the Duffers just TOOK Mike OFF, without hesitating.
- Finnie?- she looks at me- Are you okay?
I just nod
- I'm fine. Any other news?
- We're not a part of Stranger Things either
- WHAT?!- I scream again
- We left as soon as the brothers told us about Mike.
- You did that for me?
They both nod, so I hug them and just start crying
- You guys didn't need to do that! Now you're jobless?
- Actually I just booked a new role- Sadie says
- I have 3 upcoming projects so I'll be fine
- Guys...
I'm honestly confused. Why did they do that? I know they're my friends and they care about me, but are they sure about this?
- Are you sure about it?- I ask- I mean, I don't mind if you still work in Stranger Things. It'll always be special to me and I won't be mad at all. You guys may really need those roles, what if you blame me later?
- Finn!- Sadie interrupts me- You're getting anxious...
She's right. I'm about to lose my shit and I don't even know why. I guessed I wasn't gonna be a part of Stranger Things anymore. I don't even know when I'm getting out of here.
I'm just mad because of them. It's really unfair
- What's gonna happen with the other three?
- When I was leaving, I'm pretty sure I heard Ross say something about a reboot, so probably no more Eleven, Dustin or Lucas either.
- That sucks! Stranger Things' gonna be cancelled pretty soon
- I think so too. The fans loved us and our characters. I don't think they will actually like the "new characters, new story" idea
- Yeah... glad we left before the show got bad- Sadie laughs
I look at them and bite my lip
- So you don't regret doing it? At all?
- Nope, we're fine

A FEW WEEKS LATER

JACK's P.O.V.
As every Saturday, I visit Finnie in rehab centre
- How's Colin?- I ask
- He's okay, I guess. I'm starting to learn how to difference the fake smile from the real one. And he's not THAT depressed anymore
- I'm glad to hear that
- Yeah... what about you? How's life in the outside?
- Everything's... boring.
No it's not. Everything's nuts. They cancelled the production of my newest movie, and even though I just booked a new role, IT 2 is still a mystery. Andy hasn't called us yet and it was supposed to come out this month.
He says everything got complicated because they want THE PERFECT CAST, and THE PERFECT SCRIPT to make a PERFECT MOVIE. I don't actually know if that's worth one more year of waiting, but I'm kinda glad it got delayed. I want Finn to still be Young Richie, I mean... he's done an AMAZING job.
- How's Jyatt?
- They're still beautifully together. They're just perfect for each other. I couldn't be prouder of them
- Are they still hiding?
- Yep.
- Amateurs- he laughs
I immediately smile. I haven't noticed how much I miss his beautiful and stupid laugh.
- It's Jaeden's fault tho. Angela thinks he's still dating Lilia.
- She thinks he's straight?
- Yeah...
- Ugh, he's the worst! I can't believe Wyatt hasn't opened his big mouth yet.
- I know, right? He's doing an amazing job
- So... any new roles?
- Yeah!- FUCK! I didn't want to tell him yet- I'm gonna be the principal character in a new movie. I received the news just a couple hours ago.
- JACK! THAT'S AWESOME!
- It's gonna be shot in Australia
- Why are your movies always shot so far from here?
- I hope they weren't
He lays on his bed and I lay by his side
- I'm so sorry, Bubba
- No worries, Shrimp. I'm really proud of ya
He grabs my hand and kisses me on the lips
- I love you, my Eddie
- I love you too, Mike
- Mike?- he frowns
- Wheeler
He starts laughing
- I thought you were talking about Mike Hanlon
- Sorry, Richie
- Perfect
- So you prefer Richie over Mike?
- Are you kidding? Of course! I got to say Fuck so many times... besides, I got the cutest boyfriend from IT.
- Aw, you idiot
- So when are you traveling to Australia?
- Next week
- What?
I just nod
- So this is...
- The last time we'll see each other in a while
