Stay - Jack and Finn Harries

Chapter 13 - Surprise, Surprise...

A/N I am the worst, you have all the rights to yell at me and not read this anymore :/ (I'm seriously procrastinating on Summer school... I'm so bad oh god) Just get right into the story then! Again, I'm sorry!!! - Mel

I turned around and jumped into Damon's arms.

"I missed you so much," I exhaled the breath I had been holding in.

I really had missed him. We had been friends since we met at Vidcon almost 2 years ago and he's one of my best friends.

"Do you want to go talk about... you know..." Damon asked, pulling out of our embrace.

I nodded and we started to walk towards upper Manhattan, where I was staying. It wasn't too far from Central Park and it wasn't that dangerous compared to other parts of New York. We talked about his flight here and what we'd both been up to since the last time we had skyped. He told me that he had met up with Tyler and that they both planned on coming but at the last minute, Tyler was shipped abroad for a conference. Turns out, he'd come see me later.

After about an hour of walking, Damon and I arrived at my flat where I was staying with Stacy, my fellow art student and one of my best friends. I unlocked the door, inviting Damon to take off his boots and his coat.

"Do you want tea or hot cocoa?" I asked, walking into the kitchen.

"Hot cocoa please," Damon followed me, leaning against the counter.

I smiled at him and started to get the ingredients out. I barely noticed him come behind me when I felt his hands on my hips. I turned around and was met by his serious face.

"Damon... What are you..?" I started my sentence, clearly tense, only to be cut off by his lips crashing on mine.

I surprised myself by kissing back, even if I knew I shouldn't be. What about Finn? I let the cups fall out of my hands before cupping Damon's face and kissing him with more force. You know what? Finn could go fuck himself. I've been waiting for a year for him to come and see me, try to explain himself, but he never did. Zoe even had trouble talking about it with me because she couldn't betray Finn's trust.

Damon and I, still making out, made our way to the staircase. Only 14 steps to my room. Was I really going to do this?

We opened my door, Damon glancing at me, checking if I was okay with this, knowing everything about Finn and I. I smiled at him and kissed him again. I was sure of this. A twist of guilt filled my stomach at the thought of using Damon like this. He was one of my best friends and I was using him. Of course I knew he liked me, he's flirted with me so many times and I'm a bit ashamed to say that I have lead him on, but I could love him. He was a nice guy and I could see myself with him. If only Finn could leave the picture...

I tugged at his shirt, wanting it off, wanting this to start soon. He gladly pulled it off before starting to pull off mine. Here we go...

I woke up early the next morning, head on Damon's bare chest before I realized that I didn't have any clothes left either. I smiled at the thought of last night that was undeniably fun. The image of Finn made it's way into my head where I had to push it out, not wanting to spoil this moment. I was with Damon now. He would treat me right. Tiredness swept over me, bringing me into my wonderland.

I was walking down the hallways of the high school, awkward silence surrounding me. I turned my head to see Finn, clearly trying to avoid looking at me but wanting to break this spell of heaviness. We got to our destination, the memory becoming clear. It was when we first met... We picked up the materials for our project, waiting to see if we could snatch anything else from the pile. Soon enough, the teacher sent us on our way. We walked for a couple seconds in complete silence before he spoke up for the first time.

"So what are we doing for this project?" he asked, looking at me in the corner of his eye.

"Weren't we doing yours and Will's idea?" I smiled at his effort and at the fact that he was so cute.

"Okay, I wasn't sure if we were still doing that!" he laughed, continuing our conversation.

We ended up taking the long way back to class, without noticing it, both of us joking about stuff and talking. We were getting to know each other.

In that moment, I remember thinking that I would be the luckiest girl if I ever dated Finn Harries.

My eyes slowly opened, Damon's smiling face looking down at me.

Damon's POV

I knew this was probably something about trying to forget Finn or getting revenge. And it probably makes me a really shitty person to take advantage of Y/N like that but I couldn't help myself. She was so beautiful, you never got tired of looking at her and you knew that every man that saw her on the street was jealous of you because you had her. I wanted her. I've wanted her ever since she said 'hello'. I know she'll never want me and that nothing can take away the feelings she has for Finn because she's had them for so long.

I know it's weird, right? If she liked Finn, why would she go out with Jack? She's tried to answer that question so many times, sipping on a bottle of vodka but she could never answer it. Was it because it was the first guy to tell her he loved her? She didn't know what to do? I don't know. I can never fathom how her mind works. Her fascinating little world.

Even as we had sex last night, she was enjoying it but I know he was on her mind. For her sake I won't bring it up but also for mine. For my mental state, I don't want to feel my world crash down.

"I'm gonna take a shower, baby," she purred in my ear.

She got up and locked herself into the bathroom. I slowly got up, making my way to the kitchen.

You kids were way too loud last night! I had to go stay with Sandra and Cole! Stay safe ;) xx Stacy 

I laughed at the note tapped to the fridge's door, a slight blush creeping on my cheeks.

A knock resonated on the door. Probably a salesman or something... I opened the door, a slightly familiar pair of eyes landing on me.

"Is Y/N there, Damon?" Finn cleared his throat, clearly tense and holding back.

Oh crap.
