Jack's P.o.V.
Just a few days later, Finn came back home. Apparently, he may never get his memory back...
I haven't seen him since the day he came out. He spent the days at home, meeting back with all his family.
The doc told us he's pretty lucky. Most of the headshot survivors end up having trouble to remember school things, and having serious mental issues.
Lucky for us, Finn just forgot the last years of his life. No biggie... He just forgot me.

I dress up, and wait for the bell to ring.
Finn and his parents are coming for lunch today. I'm REALLY nervous.
They think he might remember something here. I hope he does

Almost half an hour later, they finally arrive.
- Hey- Miss Wolfhard hugs me- How are you, honey?
- I'm okay, Ms. How are you?
- Just trying to celebrate my son's alive.
- Lunch is almost ready. Why don't you sit down?- Mum smirks at them and they both sit down
- Hey- Finn walks in, and I kiss him on the lips, just for a second, before I realize.
- Shit, sorry- I say- I got used to it, I guess
- Oh, it's okay...
- Wanna go to my room?
- Sure
We both run downstairs
- Be careful up there, Finn- his dad screams
- Yeah, dad.
Be careful up there? What does he think I'm gonna do?
I smile at him, and we both try to speak at the same time
- You go first- he says
- How's meeting your family?
- Boring, actually. I'm glad I'm back here
- Me too
He sits in my bed, and I sit on the desk chair. I can tell he's not really comfortable here. Not as he used to be
I close my eyes and bite my lip before I finally spill it out
- I know you don't love me, I mean, how could you? You don't even know me...
He frowns and I keep talking
- And I know you're probably still trying to get over the fact that you dated a guy, but I promise, I'm gonna make you fall in love with me again. I'll never give up on you, Finn.
- I'm sure you won't.- he smiles at me, and sighs- And I already got over it. I'm fine with dating a guy. I don't mind about genders...
- You don't?
- I don't think so... what do you think?
- I don't know...
- Will I ever remember?- he whispers, looking at me
- I don't know that either. I read thousands of sites and they all said something different. I guess there's nothing confirmed. Just luck...
- Aw, you did your research...- he says, not giving a shit about what I just said
- It's the least I could do... you took a shot for me, and... I was pretty bored. I don't have much to do when you're not with me
- Did we spend much time together?
- Yeah... a lot.
- Jack? I know the doctors recommend a slow process, but would you please make a summary for me about the last three years of my life?
- Right now?
- Please?
- Finn, I'm not sure this is the...
- Please- he says, softly. He seems defenseless
- Okay...- sigh- so, we met on the IT auditions. You're Richie, and I'm Eddie
- You have to be kidding me
- What?
- We are dating in real life, and we're Reddie!
I just can't help but noticing he said we ARE dating, and not we were. I laugh at him and he taps the bed three times so I sit next to him
- You don't mind...?- I ask
- Of course not. This is your room. Why would I mind you sitting in your bed
I giggle, and sit next to him
- Please, go on.
- Well... we shot IT and fell in love. We started dating but in secret cause I had a bad manager who wanted me to be straight, so he hired me a fake girlfriend
- Wow... what a dumbass
- I know, right?
- Did you actually date that girl?
- No, I was dating you... but we met a couple of times and took pics together so people thought we were.
- Smart... what else?
- Stranger Things season 2 premiere.
- SEASON 2?!- he screams
I just nod
- Wow...
- You fought with the cast, but not with Sadie
- Sadie?- he asks
- Oh, right. The red haired girl who was in the hospital the other day...
- Oh. Is she on the show?
- Yeah. Max Mayfield
- Cool. Is she Will's girlfriend?
- Dude, Will is gay af. She's Lucas' girl.
- Oh... and she's my friend?
- In real life; not in the show
- What about Mills?
- She was with Noah, until he kissed you in the premiere
- NOAH KISSED ME?!
- Yeah...
- Ugh, shit. I lost memory of the funniest years of my life
- Believe me, that wasn't fun.
- We fought because of him?
- No. I believed you when you told me he was the one who kissed you
- Of course you did
- But the cast didn't, so you all had a big fight, and you haven't spoke to them since
- But Noah was here. What's with him?
- You forgave him a while ago, and now you're friends again
- Cool
- And he's dating Sadie
- Way to go! Wait. Wasn't he gay?
- Bisexual, I guess...
- Makes sense
- You also forgave Millie, but you two aren't that close anymore
- Okay...
- As soon as I fired my manager, we went public.
- So everyone knows we're together?
- Everyone knew we were together
- Explain
- We faked our break up cause you wanted to have your private life and things were great, until this happened.
- Sounds like something I would want... okay. Something else?
- Oh, yeah. My father died, and my mother went missing
- Oh my God. I'm sorry
- It's okay. Now I live with my step mother
- Oh, by the way... I'm guessing I met Jaeden while filming IT?
- Yeah. He's Bill. And you also met Wyatt. A curly haired boy, who played Stan.
- Oh, okay. They're like my best friends or something?
- Exactly. Oh, and they're a couple
- Wow. The world got gay in the last years
I just laugh
- Okay... what was the curly haired boy's name again?
- Wyatt. But you called him noodles most of the time
He starts laughing really hard
- Noodles! Because of his hair!- he barely screams.
- Yeah
- That's a good one.
- But he gets mad when you call him that, so try not to
- Got it. Then it's Wyatt and Jaeden. Sadie and Noah. And... us
I just nod
- I have a question
- Oh, feel free to ask whatever you want
- Is it Wyden? Or Waeden?
- It's actually Jyatt
- Oh- he laughs- I've always been terrible at this
- I know...
- Wait. What's our name?
- Fack
- That's pretty cool

Finn's P.O.V.
- Anything else I should know?
- Definitely. You left Stranger Things, you went to rehab for your panic attacks and anxiety, and you stopped acting because you wanna be a writer
- A writer...
I suddenly remember being in my room, writing, and then, giving something I wrote to Jack
- Omg, yes. I gave you my book. Right?
- Yeah.- he nods- I have it right here in my room. I've been reading it
- Really? Am I any good?
- Are you kidding!? Your book is amazing
- Seriously?
- Yeah, I'm really proud of you. I'm on page three hundred
- Three hundred? I wrote that much?
- You did, yeah... actually five hundred pages.
- Wow. That's a lot
- I know...
- And you're reading it?
- Yep.
- What is it about?
- Seventeen year olds trying to find their path in life
- Oh wait. College or friendship. Right?
- Yeah. The eternal dilemma
- I've always wanted to write that.
- You did?
- Yeah... it's kind of a true story
- What do you mean?
- I was six when that idea came to me. It was way more ridiculous, obviously, but still... I had a friend named Tony, so I found out he was leaving school to follow his dreams.
- Tony...- he whispers
- You know him?
- Sadly, yes.
- Oh. Are we friends?
- Not really. You two met back while we were drinking coffee, and then you started hanging out together, but not that much. We were actually pretty busy with our careers
- You don't like it. Do you?
- Not really, no.
- Why?
- Well... jealousy, probably.
I picture a jealous Jack in my head, and automatically smile. He'd look adorable
- You're jealous of him?
- Not to hard, tbh. He's gorgeous, Finnie.
- Gorgeous?- I ask, confused- Should I be jealous of him too?
He just laughs
He's right. I don't love him.
But I've seen him two times and I'm pretty sure I already like him.
He's really cute and adorable. Also, I checked my Camera Roll and it's full of his pics. We have tons of adorable pictures together, and for some reason, I want everything with Jack to be as they used to.
