02x04- Italy & Livestreams

Jaeden's P.o.V.
Wyatt follows me into the kitchen
- What the hell are you doing?- he asks
- We need to talk
He sighs, and finally nods. I'm about to start talking when we hear the front door getting opened, and then closed just a minute later.
- Did they just leave?- Wyatt asks
- I don't know, or care. Right now, we really have to talk
Wyatt turns around, ready to leave
- How come Finn's always more important to you?
- What?- he frowns, and looks at me in a way he's never had before. He seems angry- maybe even mad- Please tell me I just misunderstood what you said
I look down. That was a stupid move...
I'm mad about not going to Italy, not about the reason why he decided to stay. Right?
I'm not actually jealous. I can't be. I mean, it's Finn!
- I gotta go. Apparently, our guests left, and I need to talk to them
- Of course you do
- Sorry?- he turns back to me, and stands about half a feet away- What's going on? Seriously. What's wrong with you? Is it about Italy? About Finn?
- I don't know- I whisper, feeling highly intimidated by Wyatt. I can't really understand why, but it makes me pretty uncomfortable to be so close to him right now.
We've been dating for more than a year now, and I've never felt this way
- You don't know?
- Wy...
- You don't have the right to be angry at me, Jaeden. I'm doing the best I can, okay?- his voice cracks a couple of times during the last sentence, making everything way clearer.
Wyatt's lost. He doesn't know what to do, and instead of being there for him, I'm out here being a helpless bitch.
I hold him tightly against my body
- I'm so sorry
- It's okay
- No, I was being selfish.
- About this Italy thing...
- It's okay, Wy. I first accepted Italy just because you were going... I got excited then, but if you stay, I stay.
- That's what I mean. You don't have to
- I'm not leaving you
- No hard feelings?
- No.
- Let's go back, then. We have to get our friend back.
- Will we ever, tho?
- Who knows?
Wyatt holds my hand and takes me out of the kitchen, when Finn and Jack get inside.
- Guys- Wyatt says
- Oh, sorry we left for a bit- Finn fakes a smile- I...
- We didn't wanna hear you two fight.- Jack interrupts- I thought going out was the best thing to do
- Guys! It's okay. I never asked- Noodles laughs- You don't have to explain.
We all go back and eat together

Jack's P.o.V.
Ever since Finn's accident, I've been getting thousands of dm's asking about him. People know something's wrong, and he hasn't been posting in any social media. They know the accident happened, but they know nothing about Finn's health.
- Hey, Bubba? What are you gonna do?
- About what?- he asks
- People
- People?
- Fans, to be more precise. They keep asking me about you, and I don't know what to do
- Do whatever you think is right... I'm not doing anything, so it's up to you
- Up to me? How is this up to me?
- I wanted to have a more private life before the accident, and so do now. Doing livestreams and having millions of people asking me questions and judging me is not actually really private. I'm not gonna do it. On the other hand, they deserve some kind of update, so if YOU wanna livestream and tell them about me, go for it
- Are you sure?
- Yeah...
- But you're not gonna be in it?
- Nope
- I'll do it later then
- Oh, no. Go upstairs and do it. I'll be watching
- Okay...
I go upstairs, lay on Finn's bed, and start the livestream.
I say hello a couple of times until there's enough people.
- So, guys... I've been getting tons of dm's asking about Finn, and about his health. As he's staying most of the time in home, you don't see him, and he's not posting, or tweeting, so you're worried...
"I don't think you should talk about him. It's his problem, not yours"
"Finn's here"
"Hi Finn"
"I told him to do this"- Finn comments
- Yeah, I talked to him about this, and he told me to do it. If you don't want me to talk about him, I won't. But he won't talk either. Finn's trying to have a private life, and that includes not talking about stuff and not doing livestreams
"Is Finn okay?"
"R u guys back?"
"Finnnn! Ur alive!"
"Ur a little shit"
"OMG! Is that Finn's house?"
"This is none of your business Jack. Get away from him"
- None of my business? Finn's my best friend. So either you like it or not, it is my business. Okay? It's actually none of YOUR business. Get out if you don't like me. No one asked you to be here.- My eyes are kinda red and I suddenly feel like crying.
I totally get why Finnie wants to be a normal teenager again. All this people are just strangers who decide they're good enough to judge you without even knowing you.
Finn gets in the room, and takes my phone away from me
- Hey, guys. Finn here... I just wanted to thank you for your support, and dedicate a special message for all those people harassing Jack for something he did all that time ago. Please unfollow me. He made a mistake, but at least he knows he fucked up. You all think you're better than him, and you never stop cyberbullying him. He just did it once. You do it everyday. So shame on you.
He gives me back my phone. He ended the livestream
- Bubba...- I whisper- I thought you wanted to...
- Fuck that.- he interrupts me- Who gave them the right to treat you that way?
I just start crying. This last weeks have been terrible for me, and I just need to calm down for a bit.
Finn lays by my side and hugs me
- So when did you find out about it?- I ask
- About Talia? Last week, I was searching some of our interviews and livestreams in youtube, for some reason... and that came out. I watched it, and then investigated a little.
- Sorry for not telling you
- You only told me the good things about us.
- Yeah, I thought there was no reason to tell the rest
- You're wrong, Shrimp. Those bad things we've been through together lets me see how good we actually were. Not every couple gets over things like that, but we did.
- We did...
I smile at him, and close my eyes
- Okay, time to livestream...
- Just leave it
- I thought it was what you wanted
- No need. Maybe it's better if they don't know about it. They'd just get sad... it's no good news.
- Right...
- Hey, Jack?- he asks, softly
- Yeah?
- Me and my family, we have an event tomorrow. Nothing important, but it's important for my mum. Would you like to come... with me?
- Of course, Finnie
- Awesome...
I lay back on his chest and fall asleep

Wyatt's P.o.V.
I'm with
- So Jaeden and I... we decided...- I stop talking, and then correct myself- I decided not to move to Italy
- What?- Eli barely screams- That's crazy, little bro.
- Finn's just not right, guys. If we move now, he'll never be able to remember us.
- I get it, honey. I really do. But staying there, alone?
- I'm not alone. Jaeden's with me
- It's a crazy idea, Wyatt- Dad says- Besides, the house is sold. Where will you stay?
- We can rent somewhere
- Where are you even gonna get the money to pay for an apartment?
- Working?- I ask
- Oh, c'mon Wyatt! You know you won't work.
- Jaeden will start going to auditions and I'm gonna go to school
- School? I thought you hated school- Eli asks, a little confused
He's right. I hate school.
- Well, Finn will be there, so it won't suck. Even tho he doesn't actually know us well, he said it would be nice to have me in school.
Mum sighs
- Isn't this what you wanted? I thought you wanted me to go back to school... drop acting
- I don't want that honey. I want you to be happy. That's all
- I'll be happy if I stay here, and I get to be friends with Finn again
- Wyatt, honey...
- I'll get a part time job
- We'll send you money every month. You focus on your studies. Okay?- Dad finally agrees
- Seriously?
Dad nods
- Thank you, thank you!
- And you'll come to Italy every time you can
- Of course! Italy is beautiful
- I'll miss you, loser- Eli fakes a smile
- I'll miss you guys so much. We'll talk all the time. I promise
- Right.
- You better call us every day
- I will
- Bye, honey
- Bye guys
I end the video call and smile
- Hollywood High, here I come...
