Finn's P.o.V.
- Hey!- Wyatt says, coming in with his cases
I asked my parents if he could move in for a while and they were pretty happy about it. They still hope I remember some things by hanging out with the people I used to hang out with. That doesn't work.
I've been spending a LOT of time with Jack and I can't remember shit. But Wyatt is nice, so whatever. Let them think what they wanna think...
On the other side, I kinda got over the memory thing. Yeah, I feel sorry for the people around me, and I feel weird when someone talks to me about something that happened just a while ago and I can't somehow remember it, but I'm okay. I'm friends with Wyatt and Jack's kinda my boyfriend now so it's all good. Right?
About Jaeden and Sadie... I have to hang out more with them. I'm sure they're cool. Specially Sadie. Jaeden's a little weird. Too shy maybe.
- Hey, um, Wy?
- Yeah?
- Before we start studying... can I please ask you some things about our relationship in these past years?
- Only if I can ask you somethings too
- Sure, I'll answer if I can
- Oh, you will.
- Okay then... ask first
- You sure?
- Yeah, why not
- Okay... What's with you and Jack? Are you two back?
- Kinda, yeah
- Nice!
- I guess...
- Is everything okay? What's wrong?
- Oh, nothing. I'm fine.
- So you're in love with him?
- Yes, I'm pretty sure. First it was kinda weird. You know? The first time I saw him back in the hospital, he was so sad and it made me feel SO guilty. Like he just inspired me to remember. I wanted to remember for him. But I didn't see him as a boyfriend. I mean, I thought he was my best friend.
- You two bonded really fast back then
- We did then, and we did now.
- So? What changed?
- Pretty simple. I just spent time with him and I finally realized everything around us just fades, like there's no one else. Just him and I. And that night we were in your house, I just wanted him to kiss me. Like... he's so sweet with me and he's really funny.
- That's perfect! Why aren't you happy?
- Cause I don't know if I really feel that way, or if I'm just unconsciously trying to make everything go back to normal
- You're definitely in love with him
- How do you know?
- All those things you said you feel every time you're with him? I used to feel that way with Jaeden
- Thanks, Wy. You're great, bud- we hug, but I soon nod- Wait. Used to feel that way? That's past.
- Yeah, that happened at the beginning
- Are you two okay?
- Not on our best moment, but...
- But you're still in love with him. Right?- I interrupt
- I think so... I don't know- he looks like he's about to cry- I just can't seem to find time to study and date him. Jaeden doesn't understand me. He's being a little annoying. He wants to be with me all the time and I'm just trying to study and have a future
- But that's good. Isn't it? I mean, you should be happy he wants to spend so much time with you. I let Jack help me. Sometimes, he reads to me, some others, he just stays by my side while I'm reading. He makes tests for me and tries to make me take breaks every now and then.
- Yeah, I don't know. He tried to help me a couple of times, but I just pushed him away
- Why?
- I'm kinda mad at him
- You are? Why?
- Because... I don't know!- he barely screams- I just feel like I'm making everything wrong. Every decision I make, I feel like it's a mistake
- So you feel like staying here is a mistake?
- No. But Jaeden makes me feel like it is.
- So you're mad at yourself for making bad decisions, but you're mad at Jaeden for not having your back
- EXACTLY! Yeah. Totally
- Okay then. Stop pushing him away. He may have not had your back, but at least he didn't say anything bad about your decisions. Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that you're here, but you could be in Italy right now. Like... I kinda can't blame Jaeden
- Yeah, I know... I've been acting like an asshole.
- Basically
- Okay... no need to keep criticizing me.
- Next question?
- Oh, yeah. Do you like Jaeden?
- Like's a strong word
- You dislike him?
- Wow, dislike's also a strong word. I barely know him. He's really shy, so we didn't talk that much on your house and now, he's moving with my boyfriend
- Well, actually you're boyfriend's moving in with him. Are you jealous?
- Just a bit. I mean, I don't know him well, so I don't know what he's capable of. But I trust Jack.
- Jaeden's a good guy. There's no way he's gonna cheat
- Right... any other question?
- Not really. That's pretty much it.
- Cool. Can we go for a coffee?
- Um, we should study
- We'll buy it and come back right away
- Okay... but what about YOUR questions?
- Oh, I'm okay. I realized I don't need to know anything that happened. We're fine this way
- We are...
We walk to the nearest Starbucks, where we order our coffees
- Finn? I really need the bath
- Right now?- I ask- We're about to go
- It won't take long
- Hurry then
- Yeah.
Wyatt leaves me his coffee and runs away.
While I'm waiting for him, a guy comes near me and puts a mic on my face
- Dude, what the hell?
- Fack's back. Right?
I ignore his question
- What happened to you in the MTV Awards? Did you really get a shot in the head?
- Jack tried to tell people what happened, but they didn't let him. If they really wanted to know, they wouldn't have called him names, to the point of almost making him cry.
- Are you and Jack back together?
- No. We're best friends
- Best friends don't usually kiss each other- he shows me a picture. Jack and I, kissing in the Comic Con
Shit. They know. What am I supposed to do now?
- You got robbed, bud. That pic's old
- It has the date
- It's pretty simple. It's photoshop
- Your word against mine, I guess
- When did you two get back together?
- We didn't
Wyatt comes back, and takes me away
- Finn, Wyatt. Please. Are you guys dating now?
- Don't say that kind of things, dude. Please
- What kind of things?
- Non sense things. Stop making stuff up.
They both leave
As soon as we get home, I give Jack a call

Jack's P.o.V.
- Oh, wait. Finn's calling me.
I pick up
- Hey, Finnlard
- They know
- What are you talking about?
- Us. The media knows we're back.
- How?
- They have a pic of us kissing in the Comic Con
- Did you tell them it was true?
- No. I told him it's a photoshopped old pic
- Great, that's awesome. You did amazingly well
- Did I?
- Yeah
- Oh, thanks!
- I'll make a livestream to make things clear
- Okay
- I'll see you later Finnie
- See ya
I sigh, and fake a smile at Jae
- What happened?
- Someone took us a pic in the Comic Con. Everyone thinks we're together
- Well, aren't you?
- Of course. But we don't want the interviewers to know.
- Oh
- I have to go live
- Now?
- Yeah. Sorry
- But I was telling you about Wyatt...
- Yeah, you're right. Okay. Tell me
- So I'm really mad at him because he spends all day studying and he's pushing me away.
- Did you try to help him study?
- Yeah. He told me I was bothering
- Wow. That's... kinda mean
- I know! I've tried everything. What am I supposed to do?
- Well, are you still in love with him?
- Of course, Jack
- Then you should give him some space. Don't worry about him. Let's look for a job
- Okay
- But first, I have to go live
- Right
I get in instagram just to find thousands of accounts tagging me in the pic with Finn and in multiple fan arts.
- Awe, there's a lot of cute fan arts!
- Jack? Focus. Go live, say what you have to, and let's find our next jobs
- I know. Yeah.
I close my eyes and sigh. Last time I went live, it went pretty bad, and Finn's not here to save me this time
- Hey, guys! Jack here. Sorry I've been pretty inactive lately. I'm busy trying to find auditions. I'm here with my dawg Jaeden- I turn the camera and he waves at it- so yeah. That's my life right now.
"Omg Finn deactivated his account"
- Finn deactivated his account? Jae? Is that true?
- I don't know
- Check it out
- Oh, yeah. Apparently, there's no account under the name of finnwolfhardofficial anymore. He deleted it.
- I just found out about it. I had no idea.
"Is Finn okay?"
"Is Fack back?"
- I don't think I should talk about what happened to Finn. You guys were right. I shouldn't talk about about it. After all, he deactivated his account for a reason.
"Are you and Finn still just friends? Or are you back together?"
- Um we're best friends. We're not back together
"Fack's back. Proof in my page"
"Stop lying. We all saw the pic"
- About the pic at the Comic Con... it's an old pic. We assisted last year, with costumes, just to be undercover. No one recognized us, so things went fine. Or so we thought. Apparently, someone had recognized us and took that pic. Now that we're not together anymore, he or she, decided to photoshop the sign and sell it.
"I saw a Spiderman and a V the other day at CC. They were holding hands"
- We're not the only ones who chose that costume, guys. They're really popular. I was working with Asher those days for Shazam. There's no way I could've gone with Finn. Besides, he's really busy right now and has no time for Comic Cons or any other events
"Is Asher your new boyfriend?"
- Is Asher your new boyfriend?- I read out loud- No! We're just friends. He's a great guy.
"Are you single?"
- I am in fact single, yeah. Looking for some new love. Nah, I'm just kidding. I'm dating my job. We're getting married next week and you're all invited
- Jack? Time to work.- Jaeden screams
- Oops, gotta go guys. Jack signing off for a while. Go watch Shazam next year. Love you all. Bye bye
