Trying To Be Cool - Finn Wolfhard x Reader

Chapter 9: Drunk Drew

Song: Best Friend by Rex Orange County (Just for the beginning of the chapter, before the interaction with drew)

FINN'S POV

It was the evening of Jacks house party. Thankfully, I saw Y/N in school today, she seemed better aside from the continual sniffling I heard in science class paired with her blush pink nose.

I wore my skinny black jeans, paired with a pair of old skool vans and a denim jacket. Tapping my foot impatiently, I decide to walk up to Jacks room where he is still busy doing his hair and mooching around in front of his mirror in his leather jacket, posing. I flop back onto his bed and pull out my phone, watching Jack leave the room to set up the speakers and start the music. I decide to text Millie.

—

Finn: hey mills

Mille: hey finny whats up?

Finn: nothin, y/ns coming to the party tonight

Millie: nervous?

Finn: you guessed it

Millie: if she doesnt like you finn, she's an idiot.

I push my phone back into my pocket. Millie's words didn't help much. I walk over to Jacks excessively large mirror and gaze at myself, lost in my thoughts. The sound of the music and doorbell bring me out of my daydreaming. I lift my arm and smell. Not bad. Still, I reach over and pick what looks to be an expensive bottle of cologne and spray it liberally, hoping it would impress at least someone.

I finally slip downstairs into the party, through a crowd of people where I see Y/N and the band entering the house.

Y/N's POV

The band and I approached down the path and to the front door. I was hesitant and unsure this was Jack's house but the obnoxiously loud music gave it away. My heavy heeled boots clunked up the porch steps and I pushed open the front door only to be greeted with a swarm of teens gathering in the rooms. I squeeze past them, followed by Drew, Tanner and Blake (since Jax couldn't make it). As I pass, I glance at myself in the mirror in the hallway. Since it was only a house party, I wore skinny jeans, paired with a pair of heeled platform boots and a cropped bralette styled top. I slung my dusty pale blue leather jacket over a chair and follow Tanner into the kitchen to get drinks.

I spot Jack in the crowd, talking to a girl, yet I still haven't seen Finn. Tanner pours drinks for us all and carries them pack through the crowd. I hang back in the kitchen for a moment, watching people interact as I add another shot to my drink. Small ripples wave on the surface of the liquid, evidence for the deafeningly loud bass encompassing the rooms. I eventually make my way back to the living room, sipping my drink frequently. The quicker I drank the less there was to spill. Finishing quicker than I had realised, I discard the solo cup to the side and dance among the crowd.

A familiar pair of arms snake around my waist, I turn around in a haze and face Drew.

"Drew, what are you doing?" I almost exclaim, removing his arms from me.

"Nothin'" He speaks with a slight slur. It was not until then I had noticed the hip flask in his hand, which I presume he had been drinking from the time he left his houses.

I continue to sway to the bass, trying not to cause a scene. He reaches for me once again.

"Cut it out Drew" I say sternly, backing away as I sway my hips.

His hand reaches out and firmly grips my upper arm.

"Drew!" I shout in vain as my voice is masked by the loudness of the music

"Stop" A third voice intervenes.

FINNS POV

"Stop" I state firmly and loudly

Y/N glances over to me, her eyes widening.

As the music boomed, I was afraid he didn't hear me. But the look on his face said otherwise.

Drew slowly let go of her arm and stepped forward, so closely, his pungent breath reeking of alcohol. I scowled and stepped back.

"She's fine." He almost snarls

"You're drunk" I speak and fold my arms

"Fuck off Finn." He slurred slightly, snaking his arm around Y/N once more who swatted it away.

"Just back off Drew" I try and remain as calm, glancing over to Y/N who has fear in her eyes as Drew once again grabs her arm tightly.

She frantically shakes her arm, attempting to free herself. Without thinking, I step forward and push him to the ground, his hand finally releasing her arm.

His red solo cup hits the floor beside him, the contents splashing out and onto Blake's leg, finally catching his attention along with that of a small group of people.

Drew clambers up and back on his feet, his hands reaching up and grabbing the collar of my jacket. I push him back with force before he swings his fist, inches away from my face.

"Stop!" Y/N shrills, scampering away from the altercation.

Blake grabs the shoulders of Drew from behind, holding him back and dragging him away while he hurls insults at me. Y/N grabbles onto my arm.

I feel her shaking lightly as her arm links around mine while she leads me into the garden.
