The Black Phone (Modern AU)

Finneys pov:

"Finney! Get up you're gonna be late!" Gwenny whisper-yelled at me from the doorway to my room, I let out a quiet groan, already dreading the day.

"Finney I'm serious dad's gonna be up soon and he'll be mad if we're still here." She insisted, "Okay okay I'll get ready fast." I nodded sitting up in my bed.

As I got ready the dread persisted, as though part of me knew something was going to happen. I got dressed, throwing on a black t-shirt and blue jeans, grabbing my bag and walking out the door with Gwenny. Thankfully we left before our dad had woken up.

After a bit of walking and having to listen to Gwenny complain about some characters in her book we finally parted ways. I walked into the school, pulling out my phone to check the group chat

After I sent the text I slipped my phone back into my pockets and began heading towards the library when I felt someone yank on my bag.
"Didn't think we'd see you this soon." Matty smirked, my stomach dropped as I spun around to see Matty, Matt, and buzz all cornering me.
"Yeah, where's your boyfriends?" Buzz mocked, emphasizing the word "boyfriends"
"Cant you guys just go pick on someone else?" I spoke cautiously, trying to avoid any trouble on the first day. "Awh but you're just so fun to pick on." Matty responded, moving closer
"Hey dipshits, what's your problem?" A voice spoke from behind the bullies.

Robins pov:

I walked into school seeing Matty Matt and buzz cornering someone, Matt moved just at the perfect time to reveal finney being cornered by them. I scoffed to myself walking up, "Hey dipshits, what's your problem?" I spat, the boys spun around looking a bit scared, "Nothing, what's your problem?" Buzz grumbled. "Leave Finn the fuck alone you assholes." I added, my eyes narrowing, the group looked at each other then walked away.

"Thanks Robin.." finney nodded, looking down. "No problem man. Let's go find the others at the library." I gestured for finney to follow me.

The entire walk to the library he was silent, of course it made me a bit nervous but I assumed he was just stressed.

"Hey guys!" Bruce called from up ahead. "Hi everyone." I waved, smiling softly. "Did you see Billy and griffin on your way here?" Vance asked, "No, they shouldn't be long though." I answered, "You okay finney? You're kinda quiet ." Bruce asked, looking at finney with concern. "Uh- yeah I'm fine." Finney nodded
**ringgggg**
"Oh uh...I guess we gotta go.." finney looked around, "I have math first period." He added, "oh sick, me too." I smiled at finney, "we'll see you guys at lunch." I waved a goodbye at the group as me and finney began walking away

"Finney are you sure you're okay..?" I asked with a twinge of concern in my voice. "Yeah it's just...never mind it's dumb.." he looked down, trying his hardest to avoid my gaze. "Finn nothings dumb, what is it?" I persisted. "I..I just feel bad that you always have to come and save me from Matt, Matty, and buzz..." he huffed, "Dont feel bad, they shouldn't be fucking bothering you in the first place." I reassured him, "I know but I still-" I cut finney off "Nope, shut up, you're not allowed to feel bad Finn. I promise it's not a bother and it's certainly not your fault." As I finished speaking we reached our math class, "after you." I smirked jokingly, "yeah yeah." Finney chuckled, seemingly feeling better.

(Time skip to lunch :3)

Robins pov:
I grabbed my lunch and found the table the rest of the group was at, sitting down I looked around for finney, "has anyone seen Finn?" I asked, "Uhhh, no not since third period." Griffin answered. "I saw him in the hall on my way here." Billy added. "Oh..okay..I'll text him." I hesitated, grabbing my phone from my pocket and opening finneys contact

Robin: hey Finn, wya???
Finney: nowhere..I'm coming to the cafeteria, sorry.
Robin: are you ok???

Finney didn't respond to my last message, I set my phone back in my pocket and began restlessly looking around the cafeteria when my eyes landed on finney. As he got closer I could see the bruises and cuts on his face and arms. I jumped up and rushed over to him "Finn who the fuck did this to you!?" I yelled, not realizing my anger was boiling over. "It-it was nothing." Finney stammered, "Bullshit, tell me right now." I insisted, my hands resting on his shoulders, "Robin, calm down, please, it's not that big of a deal." Finney spoke weakly, the look in his eyes felt strange and I couldn't exactly make out why. Eventually I relented, my hands sliding down his arms into his hands "okay...fine." I sighed, leading him back to the table to have him sit down while I looked at his injuries.

Finneys pov:

Once I sat down Robin immediately sat down beside me, his hand cupping my cheek as he inspected my face. His fingers gently tracing the marks. I felt my stomach fluttering as I tried my best to avoid eye contact with him and ignore my rapid heartbeat. For a moment I'd wondered if there even was a chance he'd feel the same but I quickly shoved that idea to the back of my mind. There's no way he likes you finney, don't be stupid. I thought. "Okay now what do we wanna do after school?" Griffins voice snapped me back to reality, robins hand quickly fell from my face as he shifted his attention to the group. For a moment I felt a bit saddened by this but again pushed the thought away as the group discussed what we could do.
"Arcade?" Vance suggested
"Oh cmon we all know you just wanna play pinball." Billy teased
"Sue me." Vance made a mocking face in response
"Park?" Griffin offered his own idea
"Ehhh there's probably gonna be a bunch of people.." Robin commented
"Okay how about we just go to my house??" Bruce finally suggested
"There we go, a good idea." I chuckled softly.
"Should we all just meet in the front of the school and walk there together?" Vance asked
"Yeah that'd probably be smarter than going there alone." Robin agreed

(I hope this doesn't suck, I haven't written anything for fun in forever😣😣)
