2x17- Singles & Invitations

Finn's P.o.V.
Wyatt gets into my room and throws an envelope on my bed
- We've been invited to the IT premiere this friday in LA. You can take Tony or whoever the fuck you want.
- Are you going?
- Of course. It's work.
- Are you taking someone?
- Don't know.
- Um, can we talk?
- I'm busy
- I broke up with Jack
- Okay.
- Talk to me, Wy.
- Don't really feel like it
- So are you gonna start ignoring me like you ignored Jaeden all that time?
- Don't bring Jaeden into this. Unlike you, he did nothing wrong. I'm the one who was being an asshole. In this case, it's all you
- I can't believe...
- Okay, listen. I don't know about you and the "cool guys" you sit with, but I have homework I need to do.- he slams my door, and I follow him outside
- This is my fucking house. You know? I can kick you out if I want. So stop acting like an asshole. I may have made a mistake, but I'm still the same guy you liked just a few days ago.
- Was that a threat? Are you seriously threatening me?
- No... I mean, yeah. It was a threat. But I didn't want it to be... I just lost it
- You're losing it a lot lately.
- Yeah, I am. And you're not helping.
- Why should I?
- Cause you're my friend
- You left me there today.
- I tried to make you come with me, Wy. You said you wanted to stay
- I wanted YOU to stay
- I made my choice already. I can't turn back time, Wyatt. Maybe it was a mistake, but you're safe where you are.
- With the losers? I'm probably gonna be bullied all the time and...
- I wouldn't let that happen. The only way to stop them is being one of them
- You think you can stop them?
- Being Tony's friend I can.
- So you're with him just because of me. Is that what you're trying to say?
- Not exactly... it's also for me. Rejecting Tony would be an insane thing to do. That'd have made me the target
- So now, you're save, and I'm the target. Jeez, thanks Finn.
- And that's where I'm gonna stop him. There are thousands of losers in school. He just has to leave you and Emma alone. It's not much to ask.
- You shouldn't...
- Just let me prove it to you. You won't ever be bullied. I promise
- Okay...
- So can we go to the premiere together?
- I'm still mad at you
- It's work, Wyatt
- Right
- Besides, people is assuming we're best friends
- Why?
- I think Jack said it somewhere.
- Of course he did...
- Well, aren't we?
- What?
- Best friends
- I don't know...
- Good enough
- I gotta go. My homework is waiting
- Okay...
I kinda really need to talk about Jack. I need a friend, but I have no one.
No Wyatt, no Jae, no Jack... Noah? I haven't talked to him in a while. And he's pretty far. I think.
I grab my phone and give him a call
- Finn?
- Hey. Where are you?
- Home. Why? Is everything okay?
- Sorry. Where's home?
- New York.
- Great!- I barely scream- Can we meet?
- Sure... at my place?
- Yeah. By the way, is Sadie there?
- She actually is, yeah. Is that a problem?
- No, not at all. Even better. I need some friends, and she apparently was my best girlfriend before the accident so... I think it's about time we get that friendship back
- Cool! She'll be glad to hear that.
- Awesome. I'll see you in a bit.
- See ya.
I go down, and smile
- Mum? Can you take me to Noah's?
- Right now?
- Yeah...
- Isn't it a little too late?
- I'll sleep there
- Are you taking Wyatt with you?
- I don't know. Should I?
- I don't know, kiddo.
I go back upstairs, and knock on Wyatt's door
- What?
- I'm gonna spend the night at Noah's. I need someone to talk to, and you're too busy. Wanna come?
- No, not really. Homework, remember?
- You can do it there...
- I'm fine, Finn.
- Okay... see you tomorrow
- yeah, yeah. Bye.
I finally leave.

Jaeden's P.o.V.
I walk around set, with Asher by my side. We've been looking for Jack, but he's nowhere to be found
- Someone help!- a make up woman screams
We run towards her, and ask her what's going on
- Jack Grazer is in there. He says he doesn't wanna come out, but the director said he needs him ready in 10 minutes.
- Jack?- I knock, and get closer to the door- Is everything okay? It's Jae and Asher. Can we go in?
- Just you- he answers, from the inside- Sorry Ash, I...
- No problem, bud.
He lets me walk through, and closes the door behind me. He looks at me and I can tell he's definitely been crying
- What's going on?
- Finn broke up with me
- He did what?
- He said he can't keep on doing this.
- Doing what?- I ask, incensed.
- We haven't been seeing each other, Jae. I even ignored him for a while, God. I'm just like Wyatt
- Shh...- I hug him, and hold his face close to my chest- You're nothing like Wyatt. Okay? You did nothing wrong
- Finn tried. It's not his fault
- Sometimes is nobody's fault, JackJack. It just doesn't always work...
- I know, but- he's sobbing- but... we could've made it work.
- You didn't want this either, Jack. You have to admit these last months were terrible for you two. Since Finn's accident, all he's done is try to remember. And all you've done is try and get him back. He needs some time to think. His memory hasn't come back, and let's face it, it won't come back. It's been a while already, and he hasn't remember one bit. Shit, we've barely spoken since the accident. It's all so fucked up... you have to understand
- I do. I truly do.
- Don't blame him, but most importantly, don't blame yourself
- How are you so good at this?
- At what?
- Giving advices.- Jack cleans the tears off his face and fakes a smile- Like... you're the best friend ever.
- That's so nice!
- And you're gonna be an amazing brother
- About that... I talked to Jana a few minutes ago, and she said she was glad to hear that you were alright with the adoptions, and that she would start with the papers immediately, but doesn't think she'll be able to do much without me there. So I'll most likely end up getting adopted by holiday break
- Don't you need your parents to agree on this too?
- I don't think so. I'm emancipated...
- Oh, yeah. That's awesome! I'm so happy!
- By the way, we need to shoot now, so...
- Right, yeah. I'll be there in a minute

Jack's P.o.V.
- Love you bro- he says, before leaving me all alone in my trailer
I take a little blade out of the bathroom, and hold it against my arm. I breath in and out, in and out. Jae's words stay in my head DON'T BLAME YOURSELF.
I throw the blade away, and smile.
- Destiny will get us back together- I whisper- Finn said it, and I trust him. I'll give him some time...
As soon as I get out of the trailer, Asher hugs me
- Are you okay?
- Oh... um, yeah. Thanks Ash.
- No problem buddy. Just wanted to talk to you for a bit
- We actually have some scenes to shoot right now, but we can talk in a bit
- Right, yeah. Sure
- See ya
I run to the principal characters' house where we're shooting. Jaeden's in a really intense scene. I sit backstage, and watch him slay it.
- That was great!- I say, as soon as he's done
- Thanks! It's all because of John's amazing acting skills. He's such a great actor and director
John Krasinski is our abusive dad in the movie, and also our director. He's amazing. Seriously, just unbelievable.
- Jack? It's your turn. We have some scenes together with Jaeden, and then we gotta get Asher and film some more scenes in the house, and then we're done for the day.
- Okay, cool.
- Is everything okay? I heard there were some problems a bit ago. I can give you the rest of the day free if you...
- Oh, no. I'm fine.
- You sure?
- Totally
- Okay, then. Let's get this thing going
- Let's do it!
Three hours later, we're all done and ready to get to our rooms when Asher runs to me and stops me
- Can we...?
- Oh, yeah- I interrupt him- Do you feel like Starbucks?
- Always
- Cool. Let's go.
I look down and find Jaeden, staring at me
- I'll be back in a bit. Don't keep watching The Office without me
- You know I will
As we get to Starbucks, we order, and finally sit down
- So what did you wanna talk about?
- The incident while filming Shazam last month...
- That was like seven months ago, and it wasn't really an incident, you just liked me
- Yeah, I still do, but things got weird between us after that kiss
- Oh, yeah. The kiss...
- So I know you don't like me back, and I respect it. I just wanna be friends
- I'd love to be your friend, Ash
- Really?
- Sure. You're really cool. We had a good time before Finn showed up and made me get all jealous.
- Oh, right! You thought I liked him- he laughs
- He did too. He was actually pretty surprised when I told him you liked me and not him
- Why!? You're way cuter
- Dude! You're doing it again
- Sorry
- I'm just kidding. I don't mind you calling me cute. It's harmless. But just... don't kiss me, or anything.
- Yeah, no. I'm not going to.
- Great, then. Friends?
- Friends!
When I get home, Jae's expecting me all ready to watch The Office, and holding two envelopes
- What's that, D.Jae?
- We've been invited to the IT premiere this friday in LA
- We're pretty close...
- Yeah. Do you wanna go? We can take someone
- Can we actually go?
- I guess so, it's just a day
- True, but we're the main characters
- So you don't wanna go?
- I do, kinda... do you?
- Not really
- Oh, c'mon!
- I can't. Wyatt's gonna be there
- You can't loose things because of Wyatt
- I don't mind. Seriously.
- I won't go either then
- But you wanted to!
- I won't go without you
- I hate you, Grazer

Noah's P.o.V.
- So we were actually best friends?- Finn asks Sadie
- Yeah. We even quit stranger things for you
- You did?
- Yeah. Long story
- That's amazing... I'm sorry I took so long to talk to you again. Jack told me a lot about you, but mostly talked about what Fack was like before
- Mentioning Jack... you said you wanted to talk about him?- I ask
- Oh, yeah. I broke up with him
- What?- Sadie basically screams
- Why?- I frown
- He's out in Colorado filming his new movie. We haven't really seen each other lately, and everything just seemed a little off. Besides, I have to focus on school, and getting some of my old friendships back
- So you still love him?
- I don't know if I've ever loved him since the accident. I like him, a lot.
- Oh please. You do love him
- How would you know? We haven't talked much in the last months
- That may be right, but every time you talk about him, your eyes shine bright, and you can't help but smiling
- Well, Annie. That's too bad, cause Fack's dead, for now
- You just called me Annie- she whispers
- Yeah, Jack told me I used to call you that- he laughs
