Noah's P.o.V.
We all go inside and sit
- How are you guys? We haven't seen each other in a while- Jack smiles while looking at me
- We're fine- I smile at Sadie and she holds my hand
- We're... happy
- What about you? Are you two okay? Where are Wyatt and Finn? Still studying?
- Yeah. They are the worst- Jaeden says
- Their test is this Monday so just two more study days.
- You are talking and hanging out tho. Right?
- Well... I do. Finn talks to me all the time. On the other hand, Jae...
- Oh, I'm so sorry- I interrupt
- Ugh, no biggie. My boyfriend apparently just forgot I exist. He doesn't pick up when I call, he doesn't wanna meet, he's not active in social media. He's avoiding me. It's highly annoying.
- Jae? We're all really sorry bud, but you said you wanted to go out to forget about Wy for a while. If you keep talking about him, you're never gonna forget about him.
- Jack! That's not very nice
- No, no. He's right.
- At least he's not cheating- I shrug, just a second before Sadie hits me in my ribs
- Oh, he is. With books.
Jack laughs
- So guys. How did the auditions go?- Sadie asks them
- Pretty great. Jack got five call backs and I got six
- So is there any shot you two end up working together again?
- Yeah. We got two call backs from an upcoming film called "Mads' Chances"
- Yeah. I auditioned for Jonah Mads, he's the lead. And Jae auditioned for Kurt Jones, he'd be my best friend and only supporter.
- What's the movie about?
- We don't know a lot of yet, but it's a drama about a guy who thinks a lot about everything and is not expontanious at all
- That seems cool
- Yeah. It's pretty independent and personal. Kinda Walter Mitty style
- Wyatt's favorite movie. Right?
- Noah, you asshole
- Sorry! I'm seriously sorry! Ugh, I'm a mess
- It's... okay.- Jae fakes a smile
- You know what you should do?- I ask- Drink
- Drink? Like... alcohol?
- Yeah... like a beer or some shots. You know?
- Are you nuts?- Sadie whispers
- I've actually never drank anything quite like that
- And you should keep it that way- she says
- Oh, c'mon. It's just a drink
- I don't think that's such a good idea- Jack looks at me, a little confused, and angry
- Noah? A word?
- Sure
Sadie gets up and I follow her outside, as far from the table as possible
- Shit. What the fuck am I doing?
- That's exactly my question. What the fuck are you doing?
- I don't know. I'm acting so weird. I feel like I'm not really comfortable there.
- They're our friends, Noah
- I know, yeah. But Wyatt's sad, and Jack's with Finn again, but I'm not sure if they're okay, cause both Finn and Wyatt are studying in NYC and Jae is here with Jack in LA and they're really far and they're gonna fight, and Wyatt's ignoring Jae and they're gonna make us pick a side and I don't wanna do that
- Wow, calm down honey
- Yeah, sorry
- Do you wanna leave?
- I really do. Is that bad?
- Pretty bad, yeah. But you can't stay here, I mean, you're making a mess. Have a drink? You've never drank alcohol IN YOUR LIFE, Noah. What were you thinking?
- I wasn't thinking.
- Okay, let me do the talk. I'll tell them something happened and we have to leave
- Oh, no. You can't leave. Stay. You're really comfortable around them, so I'll leave on my own. Don't worry.
- U sure?
- Yeah, totally
- Okay...
I leave, and see her go back inside

Finn's P.o.V.
So... we finally took the exam. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.
- Now that it's all over, let's talk- Wyatt holds my arm and makes me sit
- What's going on?
- How's Jack doing?
- He's fine, I guess
- Are you two okay?
- Yeah, totally. I'm just still not sure about all this. It all feels weird
- You and Jack?
- Yeah. I like him, I really do, but I don't know if it's the fact that we're so far from each, or how everyone kept on bothering in my instagram and twitter, or the fact that my brother Nick doesn't like him for some reason. I feel like I'm not made to be with him. He loves attention, and I don't. I'm in fact trying to stay away from it.
- So you're gonna break up with him?
- I don't know. I don't wanna break his heart
- Better now than later
- What about you? Are you and Jae breaking up?
- I haven't talked to him in ages... I don't even know if we're still together
- You should call him.
- Yeah, I don't think so. Not right now.
- Why not? He must've called a thousand times
- I just don't feel like it
- Well, I'm going to LA tonight. I wanna surprise Jack. So if you wanna come, you can join me and surprise Jae. That'd be nice of you
- No, I'm actually gonna stay in your place and search for a house near by to move out to.
- You don't need to do that
- I feel like I'm bothering there, like I should at least pay rent...
- Hey. You're my friend, right?
- I guess so. I don't know. Am I?
- Pretty much- I laugh- No rent for you. Just... you're more than welcome to stay
- Are you sure?
- Yeah.
- Okay... thank you Finnlard
- So are you coming?
- No, I need some rest.
- Okay...
- You know? I don't get it
- What?
- You keep saying you feel wrong with Jack, but then you travel from NYC to LA just to see him, and surprise him. If you didn't like him, you wouldn't do that
- I told you I do like him
- Then what's the problem?
- I just...
- There's no problem, dickhead. Get over it. Your relationship is perfect. You lost all your memories and the boy made you fall for him in a month or less
- Yeah, that was too easy. Maybe that's why...
- He's freaking charming!- I interrupt- Your boyfriend is a good guy, plus, he's really funny
- If you like him that much, maybe you should date him...
- Don't be such an asshole
- Hey, I'm kidding. Maybe you're right. Jack's a good guy.
- Of course I am right
We both walk to my house, where mum is expecting us with our lunches ready
- Aw, this looks delicious! Thanks mum
- Yeah, thanks Mrs Wolfhard
- Oh, just call me Mary

Jack's P.o.V.
My phone starts ringing, waking me up
- Jae? What time is it?
- Um... almost 11
- Did Wyatt call? They already took their tests
- Nope, no signs of him. What about Finn?
- I don't know. My phone just rang though, so it may be him.
I grab it and smile. It is him.
"Test went great. Luv ya"
- So? Is it him?
- Nope. Just Asher
- Oh...
Just a few hours later, someone knocks on my door
- Mum? Can you open?
- Sure sweetie
She does
- Who is it?- I scream, from my room
The door gets closed
- You better come and see
Finn. It's definitely Finn
I run out and hug him. He hugs me back and smiles. He cut his hair and looks even cuter than before
- What are you doing here?
- Just thought I could surprise my favorite bean in the world
- Aw
- So? Are you up to a date night?
- Always
Jaeden walks to us and fakes a smile
- Will you be okay? I'm going out for a bit
- Of course. Don't mind me. I was planning on going out anyways
- We can stay in if you want- Finn smiles
- No, no. Don't even try to. Just go.
- Are you sure?
- I'm sure. Thanks for worrying guys.
- No problem
- Don't you wanna come with us?- Finn offers
- Just go and enjoy, honeys
- Take care, Jae
- See ya, Finn
- Love ya Jar
- Love you too, J
We leave
- I kinda feel guilty for leaving him alone- Finn whispers
- Yeah, me too
- On the other side, we really need some time alone. Don't you think?
- Yeah... I do
- Awesome
A limousine stops in front of the house, leaving me speechless
- Finn? Is that...?
- Our ride
- What? Why? Are you nuts?
- I did some research and... I found out that we went public 1 year and 4 months ago today. Since I don't actually know WHEN we got together, I decided to watch our livestream and make this our anniversary or something
- Seriously?
- Yep
- That's so sweet
- I know- he says, laughing
I kiss his lips and smile
- Shall we then?
- Sure
He grabs my hand and takes me inside the limo
