Wrapped Around Your Finger (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 18: Leave

( I'm time skipping to Friday bc idk what to write )

(Y/N) POV

Mariah has been up everybody's a** over this party all week. She wanted to set a dress code but we shut that down real quick. She's been acting like if it was one of her parent's fancy, rich people parties. As of right now and the past three hours, we have been arguing over where the decorations should go.

"Oh my God! If you would just listen, you would know where to put them!" Mariah yelled at Josh.

"What crawled up your a** and died?" He chucked the decorations at her.

She let them fall to the ground and scoffed. She walked over to me and crossed her arms.

"What do you want now?" I said from where I was sitting.

"Since you're the only person who hasn't gone inside yet, can you put up these decorations?"

"No, I think I've done enough. Why don't you do it since you're so perfect at everything you do?"

"Because!"

"Because?"

"I planned this party, the least you could do is finish putting the decorations up." she argued.

"If you haven't gotten this through your thick skull, no one asked you to do that. Let alone be here. I'm going to check up on Finn." I said as I got up to leave.

She grabbed my arm and made me face her.
"I know what you're trying to do. You're not going to get him."

I yanked my arm away and pushed her off of me. "You say that like he's an object. He's not 'yours' or 'mine' or anybody's for that matter. And don't f*cking touch me like that again unless you want a repeat of our fight."

-.-

I made my way inside and headed to the basement, where we usually go if one of us is upset. Just as I thought, they were all in there just laughing and talking.

"Finally got tired of Richardson huh?" Finn said.

I sat down on a bean bag chair and nodded.
"She needs to take that stick out of her butt."

They laughed and agreed.
"What made you come inside?" (Y/bff) said.

"I just got tired of her whining." I paused, "when are people supposed to start showing up again?"

"Well the party starts at 9 but fashionably late is a thing so about 10:30. It is...8:27 right now."

-.-

I joined the party a while after it started, just to be there for Finn. He seemed to be annoyed by Mariah's presence also. Everyone was, even the people who didn't know her personally. If she saw someone drinking or smoking, she tried taking it away. I managed to get some alcohol in my system without her knowing though.

I walked up to Finn and ruffled his hair.
"Hey! How are you enjoying the party so far?"

"It's okay, it'd be better if Richardson wasn't here." he shrugged.

"I could cheer you up if you'd like?" I asked as I rested my arm on his shoulder.

"Oh? And how would you do that?" Finn asked.

"Another lesson. But not here, for obvious reasons." I winked at him with a wide smile on my face.

Just as he was about to answer, Mariah got up on the platform and tapped the microphone. She cleared her throat and waited for everyone to be quiet.

"Hi everyone! Tonight, we are here to say goodbye to our good friend and my boyfriend, Finn Wolfhard. I'd like to ask him to come on up!" Mariah said enthusiastically.

As he walked on up, everyone clapped. Once he was up there, Mariah kissed him. Everyone cheered and chanted 'speech'. He grabbed a hold of the microphone and smiled.

"Well, um I'd like to thank everyone who came tonight especially my friends for setting this whole thing up. I'm really grateful to have these types of people in my life which makes me sad to have to leave. To be completely honest, some will be missed more than others." he paused and looked over at me. "But I will be back after the summer though and I look forward to that. Thank you guys!" Finn finished off.

Everyone clapped, including me. He walked off the platform and stood beside me. Mariah shushed everyone.

"Okay! Well, I have a little something special planned for tonight." she said with a smirk. I looked over at Finn with a confused expression on my face. He furrowed his brows and looked back up at Mariah. She connected her phone to the speaker and pushed play.

What blasted through the speakers confused everyone. Including me.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"Home."

"What?"

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

"No, of course not. She's my best friend."

"That's all I needed to know."

I had had it with Mariah. My anger was over the top. Being slightly intoxicated didn't help either. Before I could even make it to her, Finn stomped over to her.

"Leave." Finn said angrily.

"Why? It's just the tru-"

"Get the f*ck out! I didn't want you here in the first place." Finn said even louder.

She turned bright red and slapped him.
"Hey! Who the hell do you think you are?" I screamed at her. At this point, people had their phones out. That was quickly taken care of by Josh and (y/bff).

"A f*cking Richardson!" she said. She didn't even turn around as she flipped me off while walking off.

I started to make my way over to her but got held back by Finn. He shook his head and whispered in my ear. "She's not worth it." I calmed down and made my way back to the party.

Everyone was still staring at us. Finn sighed and made his way inside. He needed his space right now. I feel so bad for him. This was supposed to be a good night. Josh got up on the platform and picked up the microphone.

"Alright, the party's over. Everyone go home and if any of us finds a video or picture of tonight, you're all dead." You could hear the anger in his voice. Everyone nodded and began leaving.

This night just went to utter sh*t
