REAL LIFE

Hannalynn ran up and opened her front door Friday evening at precisely 7 PM to find Finn Wolfhard on her front porch. He stood there with his hands in his pockets as he gave her a smile.

"Hey Han, ready to go?" He asked.

Hannalynn nodded and closed the door behind her as she followed him into his brother's, Nick's, car. He greeted them as they got in and he drove towards the park, Finn showing Hannalynn the festival's website and what kind of music would be playing on their way there.

Nick dropped them off and they thanked him for the ride before he drove away. The two wandered around a little bit before joining a small crowd in front of one of the small stages where a band was playing many famous jazz tunes.

During their performance, Finn glanced down at Hannalynn's hand, his hand slowly inching towards hers like the day of their double date. This time though, Hannalynn noticed. She gave him a small smile before reaching out and taking his hand and intertwining their fingers together, which sent chills throughout her body, and was something she had never experienced with Jack. Finn smiled back as she laid her head on his shoulder while still holding his hand as they listened to the music together.

After a couple of hours of pure jazz, the band decided to change it up a little and played a slower jazz song. Couples around the two teens were dancing to the song, leaving Finn and Hannalynn just standing there holding hands.

Finn glanced over and gave her a small, awkward smile. "You wouldn't mind sharing a dance with me, would you, city girl?"

Hannalynn let out a small laugh and placed an arm on his shoulder, the other still holding his hand. "Of course, city boy." Finn's other hand rested on her waist as the two danced along with everybody else to the rhythm of the song. At one point Finn spun her around, Hannalynn laughing before spinning back into his arms. They laughed and smiled at each other while continuing to dance, Hannalynn laying her head on his shoulder once again.

Jack knocked on the door of Hannalynn's house that same night holding a bouquet of flowers and a smile on his face, which quickly faded once he saw her older brother open the door instead.

"Hey, Tyler," Jack greeted awkwardly. "Is Hanna here?"

"Uh, no," Tyler replied. "She's at the music festival thing in the park."

"Oh, really?" Jack asked. "I had mentioned it to her but she said she wasn't going."

Tyler shrugged. "Last minute change of plans with a friend, I guess."

"Who'd she go with?"

Tyler raised an eyebrow in confusion as to how Hannalynn's boyfriend didn't know anything about her plans as he replied, "Finn took her there."

Jack felt a small spark of annoyance and confusion flare up in his chest; wasn't Hannalynn mad at Finn? "Are you sure it was Finn?"

"Yeah, he's about this tall, curly dark hair, Mike on Stranger Things," Tyler replied as he put a hand out demonstrating Finn's heigh. "You didn't know she was with Finn?"

"No, but it's fine, I'll just go meet her there," Jack began. "Today's our anniversary so I wanted to surprise her tonight, but I guess she surprised me."

"Do you need a ride?" Tyler asked, not noticing any other cars in their driveway that could have been Jack's.

"If you don't mind, thank you," Jack replied as Tyler nodded and grabbed his keys.

"Let's go then," Tyler said as he lead Jack to his car. The two sat in mostly silence except for the music on the radio before Tyler pulled up and dropped Jack off. He drove away as Jack looked around and headed towards the crowd of people.

He walked and searched through the crowd for a few minutes before noticing two familiar figures. He was about to call out his girlfriend's name when he saw her dancing with his best friend, laughing and smiling and being very close together.

Jack's small smile faded, his heart sinking deep into his chest. He couldn't believe this; was Hannalynn with Finn this whole time, and just pretending to be with him?

He bit his lower lip and held back tears as he turned on his heel and walked away. He didn't look back as he tossed the bouquet of flowers into a nearby trashcan and left heartbroken.
