And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?

Finn stayed at our house for quite a while after walking me home from school. We turned on the TV and watched a few episodes of Riverdale. We also ordered some Domino's pizza that we ended up eating alone. My parents still weren't home, and I don't think they will mind Finn staying with me. I brought home a lot of men before Finn so what now? Finn seems like a nice guy, and I want it to be different with him. It's been a few hours and he miraculously doesn't try to do nasty things with me, that beat the record. Other guys? No parents at home, I'd give it 30 minutes tops and then we kiss in each other's faces until we ran out of breath. He's different from all of the other guys around the school. In fact, I'm thankful that I got to meet someone like Finn.

You can hold my hand
If no one's home

"You clearly have no idea how happy I am to be one of your friends!" he said as he started cleaning all over the place.

"Who said we were friends?" I crossed my legs.

"Weren't we?" He stopped what he was doing and looked at me.

"I was just kidding," I smiled.

"Good to know," he continued sweeping the floor but after that, he stood up in complete awkwardness. He was too hesitant to speak.

"Do you want to say something?" I rested my legs on the sofa.

"That I'm going to go because my grandma must be looking for me—she always waits by the door whenever I come home from school," he explained as he fixed his bag.

"Oh," I felt something sad, but I don't know where it comes from. I am about to be alone again.

Oh, all my emotions

Feel like explosions when you are around

And I've found a way to kill the sounds, oh

Oh, baby, I am a wreck when I'm without you

I need you here to stay

"Would that be, okay?" he asked.

"Of course! No problem with that! I guess I'll see you next week," I put on a hoodie.

"I'll come over when you need me, I'm just a call away and you have my number," he said as he stood up with his bag on his shoulders.

"I appreciate that," I stood up to him to offer a hug which he accepted.

"Plus, I'll be visiting you every once in a while, during your suspension so you don't have to be sad and as you said... alone," his chin was resting on the top of my head.

"Thank you for the reassurance, big help!" I looked up at him because he was so tall.

"See you then," he tapped my nose.

Right when he was just opening the door, the doorbell rang.

"Oh, that must be my parents," I turned to him as I opened the door.

"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Danvers," Finn greeted my parents.

"Good to see you again today, Finn," my father said to him as he smiled.
