you sat at your usual table in the lunch room, finishing up a homework assignment that's due next period, your hand writing at hyper speeds.

the lunch room was buzzing with conversations that you occasionally latched onto listening when your mind wandered to the person's words.

and you didn't hear the footsteps approaching you from behind.

"boo."
you heard someone from behind you startle you, making you jump in your seat.

"ugh. finn!"
you exclaimed, slightly annoyed as he pecked you on the lips before sitting down next to you, his arm draped around your shoulders.

"why are you always doing your homework at lunch? don't you know that lunch is the time for getting food poisoning from the lunch ladies?"
finn jokes, chuckling with you as you shake your head, blushing.

"right, because colleges look for the kids with the best immune system instead of the best grades."
you replied sarcastically, making finn shake his head at you with his heart-stopping smirk.

finn noticed that you hadn't picked up lunch yet, and he knew that you were hungry because you didn't eat this morning.

"i'm gonna go pick up some of that pizza for you. be right back."
finn offered, placing his hand on your thigh before getting up from the table to walk to the food line.

the entire lunch room followed finn's walk across the room.

the way his curls bounced when he strutted away.

the way his arms swung at his sides like he had the most confidence in the world.

he was definitely the hot guy of the school, and the most popular one at that.

every girl in the lunch room swooned over your boyfriend, Finn Wolfhard.

you were never the most popular girl in school, you were always the quiet girl, but once talked to, your true personality showed.

and finn loved that.

he loved how shy you were sometimes, and how funny you are.

he loved how you didn't care about what others thought about you.

he loved how smart and dedicated you were to school.

he fell in love with everything about you.

so much, in fact, that he asked you out 2 year agos, and have been a strong couple ever since.

however, the words 'i love you' were never uttered to the other, but both of you knew that you felt that way towards each other.

opposites attract was very applicable to your relationship.

"here. two cheese pizzas, no stuffed crust, just the way you like it."
finn announced to you as he set the lunch tray on the table for you, admiring his attention to detail.
[ a/n : if you don't like that pizza, sorry, just play along with it ;) ]

"my my, you sure do know how to sweet talk a lady."
you replied, dropping your pencil on the table to pick up a slice of pizza, eagerly taking a bite.

finn chuckled, sitting down at the seat across from you, just staring at you with admiration.

he thought you were so beautiful, and so unique with your overall personality.

he knew he felt strongly about you, and he knew that you felt strongly about him too, and he was grateful for you because he hadn't felt that way in a really long time.

he had a rough life at home, his mother leaving him with his abusive father.

finn's brother, nick, practically raised him.

people at school usually just wanted to know him because of his good looks and nothing more, but you actually cared for him.

a feeling he never knew he needed until you gave it to him.

and he knew that he was lucky to have you.

and he intended on telling you soon.

"hey, what are you doing later?"
finn suddenly spoke up, leaning his elbows against the table with his chin in his hands.

you smiled, swallowing the pizza before setting it back on the plate.

"nothing, actually."
you said while wiping your hands clean of the pizza grease.

finn smirked, reaching over to pick up the pizza you didn't finish, and took a bite out of it.

"well, i'm gonna take you out then. on a date."
finn declared through a mouthful of pizza, raising his eyebrow at you.

you giggled, nodding you head with a thin smile.

"sounds good."
you said through a bright smile.

"great. i'll pick you up at 8:00."
he said before finishing the pizza in front of him, just watching you with wide eyes as you finished your homework, your concentration just baffled him.

he couldn't wait for the night ahead, knowing that tonight was the night he was going to say those 3 infamous words.

in the perfect way.

[]

"mom, i'm home. where are you?"
you yelled into the house as you shut your front door behind you, tossing your backpack on the floor by the door.

"in the kitchen."
she yelled back, following her voice into the kitchen.
you headed for the fridge to get a snack, seeing that your mother was reading some mail.

"oh my god.. OH MY GOD."
your mother suddenly exclaimed, her hand cupped over her mouth as her hands jittered while holding an important looking letter.

"what?"
you asked, scrunching your nose with confusion as you bit into an apple.

your mom just covered her mouth, shoving the letter into your hands.

"just read it."
your mom said, her eyes glistening with happiness and her smile wide with cheer.

you put your apple on the counter, eyeing your mother suspiciously as you slowly opened the letter, your breath hitching as you saw that it was from the college that you've been wanting to go to.

" 'dear y/n  l/n, it is with great pleasure that i write to inform you that you have been accepted for admission to [ your dream college ]' !"
you read the first sentence out loud, your voice raising in volume at the notice of your acceptance.

your hands were shaking, and your smile grew wide as your mother said, "you got in!"

you both shrieked, jumping together and flailing your arms with excitement.

"holy shit, i'm going to college/name! i can't believe it!"
you exclaimed, your smile never fading until you thought about all that would be left behind because the college was in another state.

more like who you would be leaving.

"ah, i'm just so happy ! let's go out for a dinner tonight to celebrate, we could go to the diner and-.."
your mom began to ramble excitedly , but you cleared your throat to cut her off.

"actually mom, finn wanted to take me out tonight.."
you interrupted shyly, fiddling with your hands as your mom gave you a certain look.

she looked concerned, and brushed her hair behind her ear.

but she knew that this was something important that you needed to talk to him about.

"y-yeah. just make sure you let him know about..this."
your mom warned, and you knew exactly what she meant.

"but when you come home, i don't want to hear about how you changed your mind about college because of finn."
your mom sternly told you, making you flinch at her words.

you didn't flinch because she scared you.

you flinched because you didn't want to admit to yourself that that was probably exactly what you were going to do.

and that worried you.

you nodded reluctantly, knowing that you would have to tell finn anyways.

so you walked upstairs to get ready for your date, and when the doorbell rang for finn to pick you up at around 8:00, you answered it, dressed in your favorite shirt with jeans.

he took you to the lake near your house, and you two sat there on the grass with a picnic blanket laid out for the two of you, watching the sun set over the sparkling river waves.

it was chilly, with the breeze blowing off the waves and onto you, snuggling up next to finn as you two sat on the picnic blanket, your head laying on finn's shoulder.

you two talked about how high school was changing for the both of you, and how senior year was almost over.

"yeah, i just hope we can find colleges together, you know? we could apply to the same ones so that we could maybe even go to the same college."
finn offered, his arm now draped around your shoulder as he spoke eagerly to you.

you nodded, your face contorted into a concerned one, hoping that finn didn't notice how conflicted you were inside yourself.

maybe..maybe you didn't have to tell him that you got accepted.

maybe you could just pretend like you never got the acceptance letter, and just apply for more colleges, but with finn instead.

"y/n..?"
finn interrupted your thoughts, his eyes were now concerned for you.

"what's wrong?"
he asked out of genuine concern and heart for you.

you looked at your boyfriend's eyes, but you tried to shake off the feeling of having to tell him the truth, hoping to put on a good act.

but your boyfriend knew you too well.

"y/n. what's wrong?"
finn asked, his voice now a bit more stern as he wanted to make sure you were okay.

you didn't budge, because you didn't want to ruin this so far perfect night.

but you couldn't just ignore the topic.

you sighed, looking out into the glittering sunset that sparkled on the waves of the river.

"i got accepted at college/name.."
you exhaled, your eyes not leaving the waves in fear of seeing the hurt in finn's eyes.

finn stayed silent for a while, dropping his arm from around your shoulder to rub his eyes stressfully, leaving you slightly cold from the loss of his touch.

his silence was killing you as you finally looked over to see him gazing out sadly at the river's waves.

"finn..say something.."
you asked, just wanting to hear finn say that it was going to be okay.

you wanted to hear him say that he wanted you to be happy and go to the college.

you wanted to hear him say that you could keep him and still go to college.

you wanted to hear him say that he supports you in any decision you made, and that he would stay by your side as your boyfriend throughout the whole way.

but he didn't say any of that.

"what do you want me to say? that i-i'm okay with loosing the only girl i've ever really cared about more than myself? because i can't say that. i won't."
finn said with a pained voice, his eyes beginning to gloss as he stared you dead in the eyes.

"finn, it's the college i've been talking about going to for years. this is my dream school, remember?"
you explained, your eyes softening as you tried to convince finn that you wanted to go.

you needed his comfort.

his support.

"but what about us? what about me? you just want to leave all of us behind?"
finn spoke with words that you didn't expect him to say, and it wasn't helping the guilt that you already had.

you sighed, running a hand through your hair stressfully.

that was all you had been thinking about.

"we could still make this work. it's only a 4 hour drive to the state-.."
you began to reason with finn before stopping mid-sentence when you saw finn shaking his head.

"you can't go. i-i can't continue on without you. i need you, y/n. don't leave me."
finn pleaded, a single tear skipping down his cheek.

"i've already lost too much. and i can't loose you.."
finn continued, his eyes softening, and you knew what he meant.

he lost his whole family. he had nobody to turn to when times got rough except for you and nick.

and he couldn't bare the thought of loosing the girl he loved, too.

he needed you, because you were the only person he ever really cared about more than himself.

he never had a safe home, but he found one in you.

he was really hurt.

but who says you weren't hurt by this either?

"don't do this, finn. please."
you said, knowing what he was leading on to say.

you couldn't hear it. you couldn't hear it-

"if you leave..we're done."
finn said with a broken voice, hesitating before looking at you with hurt eyes.

you could practically feel the pain radiating off his body.

he really said it.

he really just said that he wanted you to choose.

and it hurt you even more to hear him say it out loud.

you thought he would've supported you, and tell you that he'll be with you no matter what.

but that's not what he said.

and it stung.

he sat there, awaiting your answer anxiously while he tried to maintain his calm.

you either stay here with finn and reject the college's acceptance letter, or go to the college of your dreams but leave your boyfriend and your first love behind.

you sighed, a single tear of pain mixed with anger dropped down your cheek as finn watched your expressions intently.

you knew that you would have to say something at some point, but you knew that one person would get hurt either way you chose.

and that was you.

but you made your choice..
