fifteen. at the age of fifteen you're usually young an naive, especially when it comes to love. that's how it was with y/n and finn. bestfriends since birth, two peas in a pod, everyone wanted a friendship like theirs. they were irreplaceable. but when finn started dating y/n's cousin mia, it all went downhill.
"she's just so.. amazing" finn gushed, his mind not even in the room with y/n. the girl just sat and store at the love of her life gushing over her cousin. her cousin. to say she was jealous was an understatement, she was furious. with finn, mia, but especially herself. she should be happy for the both of them, not mad and envious but unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, she was. but would she tell him? no. so she put on a fake smile, "yeah that's great finn"
however, as y/n's bestest friend in the entire universe, he knew she was off and he let his curiosity get the best of him. little did he know today would be the last day he would spend with her. "hey you okay?" he poked her cheek with pouty lips. the girl cleared her throat and sat up straight. "yeah no yeah i'm fine. let's get something to eat yeah?" she smiled, trying to change the subject but finn wasn't having it.
"i know there's something wrong. you've been acting like this for a few weeks now y/n/n" he pried making y/n grow a little irritated. y/n stood up from her place on the bed and turned to face him. "i said it's nothing finn, can we please just go eat?" she practically begged him. finn stood in front of her with his arms now crossed, "you're a terrible liar so we aren't going anywhere until you tell me what's wrong"
as if y/n couldn't get more irritated, his words and eagerness angered her and he was starting to become aware of that. "jeez what is it? i'm your best friend, you can tell me anything. you know that" he stated before pulling her into a tight hug which made all the anger and jealousy defuse as soon as they touched. the two stood in silence for a few minutes before finn heard slight sniffles coming from y/n. finn was beyond worried, ready to fight any and everyone who made his best friend cry, not knowing it was him.
finn took his left hand and used it to stroke the back of her head whilst his right hand was wrapped around her smaller frame, his chin resting on top of her head as she clung onto his white t-shirt. finn swayed them back and forth in attempt to calm her down but after a few minutes, her sniffles turned into cries that turned into sobs. finn couldn't help but cry with her even if he didn't know the true reason as to why she was crying to begin with. little did he know, he was the reason.
"why can't you love me the way you love her?"
her words were muffled but finn definitely heard her. he stopped his movements, eyes blown wide and confusion written all over his face. "what?" he was beyond confused. he knew exactly what she meant by that but was too afraid to come to terms with it. y/n immediately jerked away from finn's arms, her eyes also blown wide as tears stained her cheeks, all the way down to her chin. "i'm sorry" she quickly apologized. she couldn't believe she said that either.
"what do you mean by that?" he asked, taking a step back. y/n shook her head and wiped her tears, throwing him another fake smile. "n-nothing let's just go eat" she started heading towards her bedroom door but he quickly grabbed her wrist and turned her back around to face him. "no. what the fuck did you mean by that y/n?" he only called her by her first name when he was mad or upset. other than that, it was always y/n/n. nothing else.
"i-" she tried to explain but she just couldn't get the words to come out of her mouth. the look she gave him made finn realize everything. it all made sense now. "holy fuck" he mumbled, running a hand through his curls and backing up from her. "finn" she whispered, stepping closer to him but he quickly stopped her. "nononono back the fuck up y/n" he put his hands out, stopping her from coming any closer to him. "why are you mad?" she asked him but he ignored her question. "why the fuck didn't you tell me?" more tears started to form in both their eyes, "i didn't want to ruin our friendship" she mumbled, looking down at her feet as she fiddled with her fingers, something she did when she was nervous.
finn wiped his tears with his hands before looking back at her. she was heartbroken to say the least, it was clear he didn't share the same emotions she did. at least not in the same way. finn took a deep breath before saying the words that would destroy both of them.
