Your POV

The group all went to bed pretty late the previous night, talking and playing cards after the movie. So, in turn all slept in until around 10:00am.

You groaned and stretched out your arms, hitting something as you tried to stretch further.

"Excuse me," a raspy voice said looking at you.

"Um, hi Finn?" confused on why you woke up next to him.

"I'm here to!" You hear a voice from the ground, it was Millie. You'd all had fallen asleep on the couches and, obviously, some on the floor.

Finn had his arms wrapped around your waist, and chest up against your back. His warmth was comforting.

"Excuse me guys but I made breakfast," Sadie had gotten up incredibly earlier then all of us and made some pancakes.

You shot up, and sprinted over to Sadie, jumping over the couch, and Finn, in the process. Leaping into Sadie's arms.

"You made PANCAKES!" You yell jumping out of Sadie's arms and sliding on the wooden floors running to get food. She had already laid out everyone's plates and put the food on them. The smell of pancakes reminded you of Jack, but you pushed away any thought of the mess that has happened lately.

"Sadie, you're a lifesaver" Millie said getting up, frizzy haired and yawning.

"How in the hell did you get y/n awake?" Noah said while Millie helped him up off the ground.

"I'm e-cit-mhumph schumph gi-be me a break" I said chewing my food and talking at the same time, in the most polite way possible.

"Y/n we didn't understand the bulk of whatever you just said" Sadie started cracking up, along with Mille and Finn. Noah was still half asleep, as for the rest of them they hadn't even been disturbed by the racket we were making.

"I said, I'm excited guys gimme a break!" You smiled at Finn who was staring, and your eyes meeting once again.

"Earth to Finn, excuse me, earth to Finn," Sadie started, "stop staring at your future wife and go eat the food I slaved over."

"Huh, what I- uh, yeah okay .." Finn got up and rushed to get a plate. He came over to you, sitting on a bar stool at the kitchen island.

Everyone else got up slowly and started eating, all scattered around the two rooms chit chatting about what the party was going to be like.

Four hours later
*･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･*

As people started to arrive, you began regretting inviting Jack, how am I going to be around him for hours with this tension. Luckily you had many old friends to talk to in the meantime.

It was 3:00pm by the time Jack arrived, wearing a white formal top that made him look much older then he was. As Wyatt and him walked in they laughed and seemed carefree, and you were envious of that. A welcome distraction came up behind you and hugged you from behind, the familiar touch of Finn.

Finn. You hadn't even thought of where Jack and him stood at the moment. But that was for them to sort out, you decided to keep them away from each other as best you could, this party was about music, not drama.

You kissed Finn on the cheek as his arms wrapped tighter around you, the longing both of you had for each other was stronger than ever right now. You could get used to this.

You saw Millie with a mic, sanding on a small stool to look over the mass of people, "attention everyone," her voice booming through the microphone, everyone's heads turned, and conversations ceased. "The afternoon, we gather to celebrate my amazing friend y/n," she gestured towards you, "and her first EP release!" Everyone applauded and you couldn't help but blush.

You make your way over to Millie as the clapping is ending, and she hands you the mic, "thank you all so much for coming, I truely appreciate each and every one of you," you stand there a moment taking it all in, all the loving faces staring, and you couldn't help but look for Jack, he stood with a light smile in the corner looking at you. You decide to break the silence, "and with that I would like to give you a live performance of my new EP, Bashed Out!" More applauding came as you walked over to a guitar/ drum/ piano set up, Malcolm and Finn had agreed to learn the song and accompany you tonight.

Music filled the room, the calming and alternative sounds seemed to reel in the audience. Your eyes trailed to were you saw Jack before, he was no where to be seen.

Throughout the song you and Finn sung together, and all was a blur of emotion, brought out by the deeper meaning in the song.

(Song ^^)

Jack's POV

I couldn't stand hearing her voice any longer, and I felt no shame when I went outside to continue my plan. If I was going to let y/n go romantically, then I needed proof that she was with someone she could trust. I knew Finn better then most, but not in such a way y/n does, I don't know that side of him. So I called Sophia, if Finn had let go of his and Sophias romance, then and only then would I be okay with letting go.

"Sophia, its Jack," my voice was low and calm, "we haven't seen each other in months, or talked. You should come over this weekend, I'm sure Finn would be happy to have you stay at his house."

"Jack, hi! I would love to, I've been really good with everything lately," Sophia said, "are you sure Finn would be okay with that? We were getting pretty serious and I left so suddenly."

"He would be more than happy. Rock up to Finns next weekend, they've got until the end of next weekend off of filming, you can see everyone," I said, "anyways I've got to go, I'll send through more details later." I purposely didn't mention anything about y/n. I hate drama, but this is a situation I need to stir the pot, as selfish as it is.

Your POV

"Jack," you walk outside to find him getting off the phone with someone, thinking nothing of it.

He looked over, with an almost pitiful look plastered on his face, I can't believe this boy has the audacity-

"Okay but before you give me that look any longer, you have to admit we love each other. Whether that be as friends or not, we do. And I never want to leave you again, I can be happy for you and Finn, I just need time," at this point you walk up to him and hug him, it felt good to be around him again.

"I'm sorry for the way I acted. I was angry and confused, but I never meant to hurt you," you said while letting go of him.

"Did you really think you could get rid of me that easily?" He joked, seeing him smile like this again was amazing.

"So what did you think of the EP?" You asked.

"I loved it, I can't believe you didn't tell me sooner about the deal!"

"We weren't exactly on speaking terms," you laughed.

His smile widened, and the two of you started walking back to the door, "oh and by the way, mine and Finns friend, Sophia, is coming to visit next weekend," he said as you opened the door.

"Sounds great!"
