L.A. Move - reader x Finn Wolfhard

3.

I wake up a while later, and get dressed. I walk out and see everyone sitting together talking. I start to walk over.
"Hey." I say. They all turn to look at me.
"About time." Gabi says sarcastically. I roll my eyes at her dramatically.
"We started to think you died." Millie says.
"Well lucky for you guys I'm not." I say laughing.
"Yes, because if you were who'd be Jessica?" Finn asks laughing.
"Wait didn't you go to sleep early?" Sadie asks.
"Well yeah, but I was just exhausted. And I had a pretty bad dream.." I say getting carried away.

"What was it about?" Noah says genuinely. I freeze up not knowing what to say. Gabi looks at me, and gives me the "is it what I think" look. I nod at her slowly. She looks at me sadly. Finn looks at me confused. He gives me a encouraging smile. I look into his eyes, feeling the same comforting, safe feeling. I smile back. I turn to look at Noah.
"It was a lot, but I don't feel like getting in detail." I say trying to not give away much. Everyone looks at me confused, except for Gabi, who's giving me a empathetic look.
"Oh okay." Noah says, uncertain on what to say.

"Well since we have a day off from acting today, we wanted to go to the beach. Wanna come?" Caleb says.
"Oh, um I would love to, but I'm not much of a beach person." I say, the images of being held underwater pop into my head, which I quickly push away.
"Oh come on, y/n. It'll be fun." Finn says. It wouldn't hurt, just as long as I don't go in the water.
"Fine, I'll go." I sigh, smiling.

I go back into my trailer, and start looking for a bathing suit to put on. I end up choosing two that I like. I sit there looking at the two not being able to decide. Gabi would know what I should wear, I think. I turn around to go get her, and there's a knock at the door. Gabi comes in.
"I know you need help, so I'm here." She says.
"I was literally about to get you."
"I just know you too well, but we also have to talk."
"Okay about?"
"First of all, the dream."
"Umm not right now, but the usual kind of thing."
"Okay? Also, what happened between you and Finn yesterday, in the 30 minutes?" I tell her.
"Aww." I roll my eyes at hit her playfully. "Okay but here's the real question. I noticed that Finn came into your trailer last night, then Caleb went a little later. What happened?"
"Gabi." I say annoyed. She doesn't move. "Fine." I tell her everything.
"Aww, so he just held you?"
"Yup."
"I ship you two so much."
"Oh god. Don't do that."
"No I still do."

She leaves while I change into the one she chose.  I throw on something to cover up. I walk out and wait for everyone to finish. Finn is waiting with Gabi, and Gaten. I walk over.
"Oh my god. You look so good in it." Gabi says. I look at her.
"You really think so?" I ask.
"Yeah of course I do." She says annoyed. I shrug my shoulders, starting to feel insecure. "Oh you don't believe me?" She scoffs.
"No I do, but you might say it cause-"
"No! Shut the fuck up. Finn what do you think?" She says pulling Finn over to see me better. I want to wrap my hands around me and cover up, but I don't.

Finn looks so confused on what to say. My heart starts pounding, while I watch his eyes look at me.
"Well umm.. I think she looks good." He says quietly. Gabi gives me a look. "Well then she alw-" he starts muttering to himself, then stops once he remembers there are others around.  Gabi shoots me another look, I roll my eyes at her. I look back at Finn, who's started to blush a bit. I try to hold back a smile.

Everyone finishes up soon enough, and we decide to walk to the beach. While walking Gaten trips trying to show off, and everyone starts laughing at him. I look at Gabi and give her the "help him" look. She walks over and helps him.

Caleb jogs to catch up to me.
"So what's up?" He asks.
"Nothing much." I say.
"Well I wanted to say you look nice." He says looking at me. I smile kindly, but at the same time I feel kinda weird.
"Umm thanks." I say awkwardly.

My eyes dart to Finn, who's walking a little behind us. He's looking at me. He seems me looking and looks away. I can tell he's listening to our conversation. I can't help but find that adorable. Then I remember my last relationship, all the pain, the fear, the things that I still dealt with on the daily. All the little things he did come into my mind, bringing back the pain.

I feel a hand on my shoulder. I jump out of it, returning to the real world. It's Finn.
"Are you okay? You just froze." Finn says a worried expression on his face. I nod slowly scared of them finding out. Finn lets go of my shoulder, but still walks beside me.

"Are you sure, you're alright?" He whispers.
"Yeah I just zoned out sorry." I whisper back.
"Don't say sorry." He says. I then remember all the times that Jason would make me feel like it was my fault. I smile.
"Sorry." I say. He starts laughing. I laugh back. He smiles.

I suddenly remember that Caleb and I were talking. I look over to see Caleb talking to Noah. I sigh.

We turn, and I can see the whole beach.
"Woah." I say admiring it.
"Well here we are." Finn says, smiling at me.
