Wrapped Around Your Finger (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 16: Idiot

-.- (continuation of the last chapter)

Finn's POV

"Shoot."

"Was...was this a date or just two bros hanging out?"

"Oh uh well...we were just hanging out. Sorry if I made it seem like it was a date."

It was a date, I just can't tell her that because of Mariah. I saw her face drop a little when I said it wasn't a date. I instantly regretted it.

"Oh o-okay, it's fine don't worry about it. Anyways we should probably go to bed. Guest room?"

She's real upset, we usually sleep in the same bed.

"I guess so."

I got up, stood by her bed, and hugged her. I needed to make her feel a little better.
"Goodnight (y/n)." I said quietly.

I let go of her and smiled. She returned a weak smile.
"Goodnight Finn."

I'm an idiot

-.-

The next morning, I left to go home. She hardly even spoke to me in the morning. I sat down on my bed and saw I had a missed call from Josh. I called him back and waited for him to pick up.

"Hey dude what's up?" I said.

"Hey, how was the movie?"

"I-It was good...yeah." I said reluctantly. I cringed at what happened last night. She seemed almost...hurt?

"You screwed up big time didn't you? What did you do?" Josh asked.

"Nothing! Well...not nothing."

He sighed. I explained everything that happened last night.
"So the door to tell her your true feelings was wide open and you immediately shut it. Dude." Josh said disappointedly.

Hearing it come out of his mouth made it even worse. I need to make it up to her eventually. I sighed, "I know, I know. I'm an idiot but we both know I can't tell her how I really feel. Mariah and her rich a*s family have done some messed up sh*t to get their way. I don't want her to get hurt."

"I'm sorry man. I just wish you weren't in this f*cked up situation."

"Yeah...me too."

-.-

Just as I was about to go skate, Mariah's parents pulled up in the driveway. I completely forgot I'm supposed to go over to her house today.

"Hello Finn. Are you ready?" Mrs.Richardson said in a calm tone.

"Yes ma'am." I lied with a smile spread across my face.

After arriving, I headed into their backyard. They told me Mariah was already in the pool, waiting for me. When she saw me, she swam to the edge of the pool.

"Hi Finn! Well, what are you waiting for? Hop in. The water feels great." she said with a wide smile.

I silently groaned and began taking my shirt and shoes off. I dove in right beside her and swam up to the surface. This is going to be a long day.

-.-

"So, how was the movie last night? With (y/n)." she asked as she pushed her hair back.

"It was good, I'd go see it again." I said as I tried to contain myself. I didn't want to argue with her.

"Good but I don't want you to go to the movies with her again." Mariah said in a snarky tone as she cupped my face.

I removed her hand and placed it on her shoulder. (Oooh rejected)
"You can't control me, you know that? I'm only dating you because I have to not because I want to. So if you thought this was actually going to go somewhere, you can forget about it." I was being nice when I said this, I could've said more.

She scoffed, "I wouldn't talk like that if I were you. You could end up in serious trouble. You have to be dating me."

"See, that's the thing. I don't have to be nice to you. Or be here as a matter of fact." I said as I began getting out of the pool.

I wrapped a towel around my body and walked out to order an Uber. There's no way in hell that I'm staying here for another minute. I felt a tap on my shoulder.

"Where do you think you're going?" Mariah said angrily.

"Home."

She just stood there and stared at me for a few seconds.
"What?" I asked irritatedly. ( idek if that's a word lol )

"Do you have feelings for (y/n)?"

Yes

"No, of course not. She's my best friend." I lied. I don't need to drag her into this.

"That's all I needed to know." she said and walked away.

-.-

(Y/n) POV

Not to be over dramatic, but I sulked in bed all day. Sure, I got up to eat and stuff but other than that I haven't really moved. It hurts being lead on by someone you thought genuinely cared about you. My door was burst open by (y/bff) who looked like she had just ran a marathon. She sat down beside me on my bed and hugged me.

"Are you okay? Your mom said she hadn't seen you come out of your room all day."

"I'm fine, you did scare me though." I joked.

She smiled lightly and shook her head.
"I can tell something is wrong. Does it have to do with him?"

I nodded and felt my eyes start to water. I explained what he had said last night. She listened intently and hugged me again.

"I'm so so-" she got cut off by my phone ringing. She snatched it up and showed me the name on the screen.

Finn

"Try and talk it out?" she suggested.

I grabbed my phone and answered.
"Hello?"

"Hey, are you home?"
