Wrapped Around Your Finger (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 23: Bestie

(Y/N) POV
( Friday )

I woke up to a loud knocking on my door. I groaned and rolled over, hoping someone else would get it. Then I remember nobody else is home besides me. Whoever was at the door was persistent because the knocking would not stop. I quickly made my way downstairs and looked through the peephole. It was Devon. I opened the door and looked at him curiously.

"Hey (y/n). What's up?" he said with a devious smile on his face.

"I just got woken up by some boy I just met who somehow knows where I live." I stated the obvious.

He shrugged. "It wasn't too hard, I just had to knock on every door until I found you. I guess number 7 is the lucky number."

I furrowed my eyebrows at him and began slowly closing the door. He stopped the door with his foot.

"I'm joking, I know (y/bff). Funny how she always visited you but never her own cousin."

Then it clicked in my head. It's the Devon.
"So you're Devon. Mr. angel-in-front-of-my-parents-but-secretly-a-bad-influence-to-everyone-around-me. Good to know." I nodded slowly.

"The one and only."

"So, tell me. Why did you show up at my doorstep at 1pm?"

"Why are you still in bed at 1pm?" he laughed.

I rolled my eyes and huffed.
"Okay, sorry. I just came to invite you to a party I'm having tonight. I think you're the type of person to be at this party."

I crossed my arms. "Why?"

"You seem like the stoner type."

I opened my mouth to say something but then closed it when I realized he was correct. I nodded and laughed nervously. He laughed at my reaction.

"I'll take that as a 'yes Devon, I will go to your party and be there at 9."

He then saluted me with two fingers and left. I entered my house and closed the door behind me.

"Weirdest morning ever." I mumbled.

-.-

Around 5pm, I finally got a text from Finn. It's been a while since he's even spoken to me. I get that he's busy but a text message takes five seconds. I shouldn't bother him about this though, I know he has a ton on his plate.

"Hey! (Y/n)! I'm so sorry for not getting a hold of you for the past couple of days. I've been real busy :( "

I read the text quickly and began typing.
"Hey Finn! It's fine, don't worry about it. I hope you're getting enough rest :) "

I saw the anxiety inducing three dots and waited for his response. After a few seconds, I got his text.
"I am, it's real fun being around everyone here. They're all so cool! "

I then got another text from Finn.
"Sorry I left you all alone (y/n).I miss you :-P"

I smiled and quickly responded. He really does care about me.
"I miss you too :-P but it's fine because I think I made two new friends! One of which would really like to meet you."

I quickly sent a picture of me with Stimpy. He gushed over the dog and asked his name.

"Stimpy"

"Well Stimpy is very adorable. And the other new friend? What's their name?"

"I'll show you later, I'm actually going to have to start getting ready for their party!"

We texted each other our goodbyes and I began getting ready for the party.

-.-

I'm an idiot. I completely forgot where his house is. I kept walking anyway, hoping i would be able to find it. As I made my way over, I heard music getting louder by each step I took. I took that as a clear sign and entered the house on the search for Devon.

As I looked around the crowded living room, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and saw Devon holding a freshly rolled blunt.
( not condoning smoking of any kind just for character development I guess lol )

"Ms. I'm-not-a-stoner showed up to the stoner party! Glad you could come, everyone who enters gets a free blunt." he said and put the blunt in my hand.

I put it between my fingers and held it up to my lips. Devon pulled out a lighter and lit my blunt. After taking a few hits while Devon and I talked, I remembered I was going to show my "new friend" to Finn.

"Do me a favor and take a quick picture with me. It's to prove I've made a friend while my other friends were gone." I said to him.

He raised an eyebrow jokingly.
"Friends, are we now?"

I pretended to think. "Hmm let's see. You offered to dog sit and went out of your way to invite me to this party. I'd say we're friends."

He smiled widely and shook his head.
"Fine, fine. Make it quick, new bestie."

We took the picture and I quickly sent it to Finn with the caption "new friend Devon".

"Oh and also, you can't be my bestie. I already have four, including Stimpy." I stated matter-of-factly.

He scoffed. "I hate you too (l/n)."

-.-

Everyone cheered as I finished my song. I got off the platform and made my way over to Devon. He high fived me and I shrugged jokingly.

"You know, I've always thought karaoke was cheesy. Turns out it's actually real fun...and stupid. Especially since you just took part in it."

I playfully pushed his shoulder and laughed.
"Here I was thinking that you said something that wasn't to irritate me."

"I will make it my life goal to irritate you." he said before chugging his drink.

My phone binged in my pocket. I pulled my phone out and saw a text from Finn.

"Seems like this new friend doesn't know you that well seeing as you have a blunt in your hand and you just got off probation a while ago."

I scrunched my face up and read the next text.
"We've talked about this (y/n). Every time you've gotten on probation my parents don't let me hang out with you."

"You good or are you practicing your constipated face?" Devon joked.

I looked up at him and locked my phone.
"Uh yeah. I have to go, I'll see you around Devon."

I pushed my way past people and as I was halfway to the door, Devon pulled me back. I turned around angrily and crossed my arms. He seemed shocked at this and took a step back. I uncrossed my arms and he handed me another blunt.

"One for the road, bestie."

I sheepishly smiled and made my way home.

-.-

After getting home and laying down on my bed, I decided to text Finn back.

"I'm sorry but this is my way of coping with the fact that this is my first summer without you."
