jaeden threw a jacket on and a beanie over his head. it was cold since it was winter, so he needed to make sure he wore warm clothes even if the temperature indoors was nice. he slid his phone in his pocket and jogged downstairs. he was thankful that his father wasn't going to be home for the night because he was staying with some woman. maybe she could change him. nah, i'm being ridiculous. he shook his head with a sigh and left the house.

he arrived at finn's after nearly 30 minutes of walking. he knocked on the door, and almost immediately it was swung open. finn stood there, his eyes slightly puffy and red. jaeden's face immediately turned into a worried expression, "oh my god, finn! are you-"

"please just come in. you're the only person i can trust," he took in a shaky breath and opened the door wider. jaeden stepped inside and they walked to his room. finn sighed, "i-i don't know what to do."

"what's the matter?"

"it's just-ugh. jack told me something," he sat down and jaeden did the same. "i didn't know how to react, so i ignored him."

"if you don't mind me asking, what did he tell you?"

"he said he..." finn bit his lip, "he said he was gay. and he liked me. i know i shouldn't ignore him when he tells me something like that, but i didn't know what to do! i just... i thought maybe throwing a party would take my mind off of it. but i wanted you to stay with me because i don't want to get out of control and do something ridiculous."

jaeden nodded slowly, "so, i have to look after you... during the party?"

"okay, now it sounds stupid."

"no, i didn't mean to. i was just making sure i heard you correctly."

"well, you did," finn chuckled nervously. "think you can be a mum for a few hours?"

"i-i guess so. i'll try."

finn sighed in relief and hugged jaeden, "thanks. i know i seem like a 12 year old girl, so thank you for putting up with me so far and agreeing to do this."

jaeden shrugged it off, "no biggie."

there was a loud knock on the door and finn quickly stood up, "shit, i lost track of time."

"hey, it's alright. i'll set the stuff up," jaeden smiled reassuringly at him. finn mumbled a 'thank you' before running downstairs. jaeden quickly did what he said he was going to do and people started swarming in.

"fuck, i wasn't expecting this many people," finn told jaeden while examining the crowd that was already dancing to the music and drinking. others were making out, or some stupid shit. "hey, hey, hey!" finn walked over to someone who was swinging a baseball bat around. where the fuck did he find a bat? finn said something to the guy, and the guy just shrugged and gave finn the bat, then walked elsewhere. finn rolled his eyes and made his way back to jaeden, muttering, "fucking idiot."

"look, i'll take care of those kinds of people. you just enjoy yourself, okay? but don't drink too much," jaeden said and finn nodded, walking over to where the drinks were. jaeden sighed and sat down on the brown couch in the living room. lucky for him, nobody was about to get pregnant on it.
