acting - finn wolfhard [✓]

thirty-five

cara♡

today was finn's birthday, he flew home two days ago but he didn't know corinna and i also flew there yesterday. he stayed at dane's house last night so eric, mary, nick, corinna and i could decorate the house and surprise him. the entire losers club could make it but jack would be late as his flights were delayed which caused a very distressed jack to facetime me from an airport. 

we also invited the whole stranger things cast, however noah, caleb and gaten were flying from london so they'll turn up tomorrow.

we hung banners across the entrance to their living room, balloons lined the floor but we specifically requested one red helium balloon to freak everyone out. it was andy and barbara's idea and we all found it hilarious. i was wrapping the last of my gifts to him and the sound of the doorbell chiming rang throughout the house.

"cara, could you get that please?" mary called while i ran down the stairs, bouncing towards the door. i opened it to be greeted by sophia, and i could see a mess of brown curly hair behind her that i identified as wyatt, afterwards jeremy and jaeden walked from the road to the door and chosen opened the car boot.

"need any help?" i offered as sophia and i loosened our grip on each other. he shook his head and brought bags into the house.

"it looks great in here." wyatt complemented and jeremy agreed, they all flinched when they laid their eyes on the read balloon that was floating against the ceiling. over exaggerating how afraid they were.

"did you do this just to give us flashbacks of the hell we endured in the summer of 2016?" jaeden joked which caused everybody to laugh.

"now when is finn getting here?", everyone nodded at chosen's question waiting for the answer. "dane said that he passed out last night and is still asleep." nick informed us as he walked past us to go into the kitchen.

"how is loverboy?" sophia joked nudging into my side. i rolled my eyes and sighed. "he's great, he'll probably freak out when he sees all of you here, as well as the stranger things cast." 

"this is going to be an overload of british today." jaeden gestured to corinna and i, and was including millie too. "there's only three of us, are our accents really that strong?" everybody nodded which surprised me, and lead to everyone impersonating dick van dyke from mary poppins.

a while later the rest of the guests turned up, including tom and sarah which made a lot of people fangirl like i did when we first met.

"he's coming! everyone hide." nick shouted while turning the lights off, i bent underneath the table with the losers as well and millie and sadie, while finn's parents and nick stood in the middle of the room. we agreed that nick would cough and it would be the signal for us to jump up and surprise him.

the keys rattled and we could hear finn talking about mario kart while he walked in with dane. i had my phone on the table recording the doorway so we could see his reaction. the lights turned on and he laid eyes on his family, smiling before talking in the room. then nick coughed causing us to jump up.

a chorus of surprises filled the room as he looked around and saw everybody who turned up.

his smile somehow grew even wider, causing me to smile.

"oh wow, thank you all so much. this is great." he was shocked and i was happy, he had so many people from his life around him. the music turned on and he walked over to us from his parents.

first of all he suffocated me with a hug, i buried my head into his chest while he kissed the top of my hair. i heard the excited squeals of our friends behind me but ignored them, we pulled away and he greeted everybody one by one.

"seriously can you explain to me why you and finn are so adorable?" i laughed at millie's question and shrugged, we continued chatting amongst the guests throughout the night before people had to start leaving.

"we set up the fire pit outside and there are a bunch of blankets and stuff in the log cabin for you to sleep in." mary said as she came in from the cold vancouver air.

it was christmas eve-eve and i loved this time of year, it wasn't snowing yet but it definitely could be soon with the temperatures. it was like being back in england.

"ok we need cara, sophia and sadie on the actual hot chocolate making, i'm on the decorating. wyatt, jack and chosen can you go and sort out the beds in the log cabin. jeremy, finn, jaeden, can you go and get warm clothes and things?" millie sent out orders for a night by the fire.

"finn if you look in my suitcase i bought a bunch of cosy jumpers, can you get 4 for all of us?" i gestured to the girls and he replied with a nod before we all took our places in the kitchen. sadie puts the powder in the mug, i pour the hot water and stir, sophia adds the milk and stirs, then millie decorates it. we made ten hot chocolates in total and placed them on the counter.

the boys came back from outside and started drinking from mugs they claimed as their own and shortly after that the other group of boys came down with random clothes hanging from their bodies. i spotted a mustard yellow knitted jumper that was mine which i offered to millie, sophia found a black oversized jumper that came down to her mid-thighs with daisies embroidered, sadie found a burgundy knitted jumper and i found one of finn's that i took.

"isn't that mine?" i ignored answering finn's question directly, "maybe?" he shrugged it off and wyatt spoke, "now let's get these hot chocolates and have a fire." 

we spent the night chatting and laughing at stupid jokes, still having fun while the fire died down, the warming effects of the hot chocolate had worn off so we all made our way into the cabin.

the sleeping arrangements weren't in any order, i ended up sandwiched between sadie and finn while we all tried to fit on one sofa.

"this obviously isn't going to work and i don't want to sit on anybodies laps again so i'll take the floor." jaeden left the sofa and it caused everybody to spread out slightly. eventually he was joined by chosen, millie and jeremy, leaving wyatt and sophia on the two armchairs, while i begged to watch elf and the grinch, everyone agreed so we put the film on. it started i snuggled into finns side, he rested his arm over my shoulders.

"how has your sixteenth birthday been?" i whispered into his ear as the others slowly began to fall asleep, the initial hype of the night had dyed down and our energy levels nose dived once we got comfy in the cabin.

"it was perfect, nick said you organised most of it?" he turned his eyes away from the tv to me, i looked at him and my smiled.

"yeah i take party planning very seriously, i wanted everything to be great." a shy smile crept up on my face. he smiled a toothy grin and connected our lips quickly.

sadie tapped millie on the shoulder to get her attention and they silently fangirled over us which nobody really acknowledged, we spent the rest of the night watching christmas movies while snow started to fall outside. giving the day a perfect end.
