beloved ࿎ finn w

twenty five

aria's pov:

i shut the front door for the last time in a long time. i was on my way to leave this place. i didn't know if it was a great thing or a bad thing. some of my best relationships started here, some ended. i wasn't going to let one little thing set me back from my future.

the car ride was silent. my mom didn't know what happened. my younger sister sat in the back seat clueless as always. i couldn't help but smile at all of the happy things that occurred here.

as we arrived at the airport, reality dawned on me. i was leaving. for a long time. i was leaving all of my friends.

i grabbed my luggage from the trunk, holding in my tears. i already cried so much recently, now was the time for me to stay strong. we dropped the bigger bags off to go into the plane and headed towards security.

after the long wait, we finally neared the terminal. waiting there was sadie and emily. they were holding teddy bears and lemonade. i smiled and walked faster.

"we are going to miss you so much," emily sighed into my hair.

"i can't believe it's happening," sadie joined the hug.

"i love you," i smiled to them. tears threatened to fall, but i blinked them away. i didn't want this to be a sad day. it was just a 'see you later.'

"we brought you some stuff for your flight. this little teddy bear is from -"

"i know where it's from. that gift shop on the corner that we got slushees from. i would never forget," i grinned.

we sat down in the seats, my mom and sister sitting across from us. sadie, emily and i talked about all the exciting stuff ahead for me. i asked where millie was, but they didn't know either.

first class was called for my flight, meaning i had twenty minutes before i left. something inside of me wished, wished, that i would see finn. but i knew that he would never come. he couldn't bear to see me. his dad wouldn't drive all the way down here anyways.

"earth to aria!" emily laughed. "where were ya?"

"just thinking of the ear ache i'm about to encounter. got gum?"

"nope," they both said in unison. as i turned to check my carry-on for gum, i saw two familiar people speed walking towards us.

"who are those kids? and why do they look so fishy? i don't have my glasses on." i asked the girls.

"what the shit?!" emily stood up quickly.

"um?!" sadie stood up, too.

"anyone want to help me out?"

emily whispered into sadie's ear.

"yep, that's who i see. holy shit. aria, you might want to get up," sadie smirked.

i stood up before i turned around; i was scared. who would chase me all the way to the airport. as i flicked my head around, my eyes landed on millie.

"millie!" i shouted. everyone's eyes darted towards me, and i winced in embarrassment. she came running over hugging me vigorously. we rocked back and forth, both of our eyes shut tightly.

"girl! i couldn't miss you before your flight!" she laughed into my shoulder.

i felt someone staring at me through my squeezed eyes. i opened them, to see finn mother fucking wolfhard standing before me. he was holding a metal can that was shaped like a heart, a bag, sunflowers, and a big ass smile.

i immediately let go of millie. finn noticed i saw him, and he smiled weakly. i didn't know what to do: do i cry, do i hug him, do i kiss him, do i run away? help me now.

before i overthought anymore, my feet ran to him. i felt like i was in a movie. i hugged him tightly. his arms struggled to get around me since he had a bunch of stuff in his hands. he dropped what he was holding, the metal clanging.

everyone's eyes flicked to us again, this time i didn't give a single shit whag they thought. i inhaled hard. i took in his scent. my hands trailed to his hair, then his shoulders. he pulled away, holding my face with his hands.

completely ignoring the fact that my mom was sitting directly diagonal to us, he leaned in to kiss me. after a couple of seconds, i pulled away.

"why are we the definition of stupid, dumb teenagers?" i giggled.

"why did i say i was giving up on you?" he sighed, holding me close.

"the only thing that would make this moment better would be one direction reuniting," i whispered.

"okay, but frogs asshole rips internally apart is reuniting right now and i think that's all i need."

"oh, i know what would make this moment so much better!" i pulled away, looking so deep into his eyes i saw his brain.

"what. don't say a stupid vine."

"should i go then? because i will!"

"no, no. say it, beloved."

"be the violet to my tate and go with me to the sag awards?"

"you know what, i totally would... but i would rather not be dead."

"if we're dead, at least we died in love right?"

"okay, i guess i will," he smiled. he spun me around so i could grab the gifts on the ground. i opened up the can, revealing chocolate covered strawberries and chocolate chip cookies. then he shoved the bag into my face. i laughed quickly before opening that.

under the tissue paper was juicy fruit gum and his favorite sweatshirt. i pulled out the sweatshirt.

"are you giving this to me?"

"no, i accidentally dropped it in there. yes, i am." he then did a 360 and gave me a bouquet of sunflowers. "your favorite flowers for my most favorite girl."

"je t'aime!" i squealed. i loved this boy. we hugged, again. i pulled away.

"where's father wolfhard?"

"home?" he answered more like a question. "why?"

"how'd you get here?" he pulled me in close.

"i can drive now, sweet pea." i jumped back.

"you little-"

he shushed me before i cursed in front of my mom, who i totally forgot was there. i turned around to see the girls smiling widely at us.

nothing could make me happier in this moment.

i turned back around to my beloved and held him close.
