Part 31

POV MILLIE

My phone makes a sound and i pull it out of my pocket. We have been waiting for 20 minutes now, but the other case is still going. It is really umconfertable to look at dad and Adelaine. 

FINN: Why did you leave?

I didn't tell Finn that i needed to go to court today. I don't know why not. I just didn't want to talk about it i guess. 

MILLIE: I'm at court all ready and i didn't want to wake you.
FINN: You didn't tell me that was today. 
MILLIE: Sorry. 
MILLIE: I have to go in now, i will text you when i am done. 

I send the text and then follow mom and her lawyer who i think is named Larry into the courtroom. There are a few jugdes and then i spot Louis. He sits at the front talking with someone. 'Brown versus Smith case, opened. You can start.' The jugdes tells Larry and he stands up. 'I would like to call up Millie Bobby Brown.' Larry says and i stand up and walk to the chair, again. I've had enough court for the next 30 years. 'Please state your full name.' Larry says and i try to keep breathing normally. 'Millie Bobby Brown.' I say clearly and Larry smiles. 'I would like to remind you that your under oath. Do you swear to tell the truth?' Larry asks and i focuss on my breathing again. 'Yes.' I tell him and he smiles. 'Can you tell me what happend at your dad what made you say that you don't want anything from him ever again?' Larry asks and i think about the paper i wrote full with Finn. 'I went there that morning because my friend wanted to ask dad something about her economics and then dad invited me for dinner. So when i came back i heard him and Adelaine talking.' I try to say clearly but stop talking for a second. 'What did they say?' Larry pushes. I liked Harry better. 'Adelaine asked why she had to be nice while i act bitchy. Dad said you know why and then he said that he only wanted me there because then the costs of my alimony would go down. That Adelaine just has to fake smiles and aks me something  because that is what he always does.' I tell Larry and focuss on my mom behind him. I do not even glance at my dad. 'And then you said?' Larry asks and i sigh. 'That he could keep the money and that i don't need anything ever from him again.' I mumble and feel my head turning red. 'But I didn't mean my house. Of course i need a house. And not just because i need a place to live but also because i grew up there with my sister, who i lost a while back and i don't want to lose her room and the memories we got there.' I add and Larry smiles. He said before we went in that i should talk about Melody. That would make me look more sad and can get the jugdes to petty me more. 'And your dad is trying to take that?' Larry asks and i shrug. 'I don't know what he means and wants to do, but i he claims the house then mom will have to move and she has costody over me, so i need to move too.' I mumble and i hear objection at the other side of the courtroom. The jugde allows it anyway. 'Millie, how old are you?' Larry asks and i frown. '16.' I tell him and he nods. 'And when do you turn 17?' He asks.  'febuary 19th.' I tell him and he nods again. He turns to the jugdes. 'So Mister Brown, is trying to take the house of a child, what she still is, for money. Only so that he has more? Money is not a problem for Mister Brown, we saw that in the bankrecords. I don't know what Mister Brown's intentions are, but he is hurting his child by first off using her and second off by taking her house, where she grew up with her sister. It is not fair and not what Millie ment, that is clear. Thank you.' Larry says and i walk away from the chair quickly. Larry calls up mom and asks her about me, mom and dads divorce and her work. She then sits down next to me again and it is now the defense their turn. They call up dad and Adelaine and they both lie so damn hard. They say that i didn't hear then corectly, but he knows that i did. The jugdes then leave to discuss. We have to wait outside and thank god dad and Adelaine leave to get coffee. Mom leaves for the bathroom and i sit down in the hallway. I open my phone and see a good luck text from Finn. I smile a little and hope that he isn't mad that i didn't tell him. I look up from tab on my shoulder and look into Louis his friendly eyes. 'Hey.' I smile and he does too. He sits down next to me and hands me a cup of coffee. 'You got me coffee?' I ask but Louis shakes his head. 'I said coffee coffee coffee to the barista and she took me seriously. I all ready gave my teacher one too.' Louis smiles and i do too. 'And i saw your dad so i figuered that you wouldn't get your own.' He says and i nod. 'You figured good.' I smile and take a sip of the warm coffee. 'So why are you intering here?' I ask and Louis smiles. 'Well it was this or at a school.' He mumbles and looks up with terror in his eyes. 'Childeren are too scary.' He says and i laugh. 'They are.' I smile and he does too. 'I think you will win the case by the way. My teacher said you have a benift or something.' Louis says and i smile. 'Well i hope we do.' I mumble and louis smiles. '10 bucks i can get this in there.' Louis says and he points with his cup to the trash can. 'But if you miss, you have to give me 10 bucks.' I say and louis nods. He throws the cup and he misses. 'Ha! Pay up.' I laugh and Louis grabs his bag while he complains. He drops the money in my hand and i smile. 'If i can get yours in, i can get the money back?' Louis asks and i shake my head.  'Then i lose it all, but you can get half.' I smile and Louis smiles. 'How about half and your number?' He asks and i smile. 'I should mention that i.....I have a compilcated boyfriend thingy.' I try to explain and Louis laughs. 'Yeah, i have a girlfriend, i didn't mean it like that.' He smiles and i do too. 'Fine then 5 bucks and my number.' I smile and i give him the cup. He hits the trashcan and it falls in. 'Ha! Pay up.' Louis smiles and i throw half the money in his hand. He gives me his phone and i type in my number. Dad and Adelaine enter the building again and i sigh. I still can't believe they lied. They walk past me and Adelaine gives me a bitchy look. 'Wow.' Louis says and he follows them with his eyes. 'Like you said, what is family without some drama?' I mumble and Louis smiles.

'We have come to the conclusion that Mister Brown will have to pay his part in the house untill Millie is at least 21. If her mother does not agree with this she can buy him out. Millie has the own choice if she wants contact with her father.' The girl with a white paper annouches and i smile. At least we don't have to move this instand. I shake Larry's hand and look at mom. They are talking if she should buy herself out of keep the arragment. I glance at Louis in the corner, who is talking with the man next to him. 'Come hon. Let's go home.' Mom grabs my arm and we walk out of the courthouse. I walk past dad and Adelaine as if i don't even see them. 'Can you drop me off at Finn?' I ask when we sit down in the car. 'Sure.' Mom smiles and i turn on the radio. 'Are you going to buy him out?' I ask mom and she nods. 'But not yet. I will buy him off when you are 20, because then he payed for what he did, literary.' Mom mumbles and i smile at little. Mom is an evil master mind. 'Thank you.' I smile at mom when we pull up at Finns driveway and i give her a kiss on the cheek.  I step out of the car and ring the doorbell. Nick opens the door and points at the stairs. I smile and walk up the stairs. The soft guitar sound makes their way down and i smile. I open the door softly and Finn keeps playing. He moves his fingers so smoothly. He gets all the notes perfect and ends the song. 'Is that a song or your own?' I ask and Finn turns around. 'Both combined.' He smiles and turns back to the paper. 'Did you win?' He asks and i nod. 'Yeah.' I smile and sit down on Finn his bed. He hangs back the guitar. 'Is your dad mad?' He asks and i nod agressifly. 'I'm sorry i didn't tell you.' I mumble and Finn sighs a little. 'Why didn't you?' He asks and i shrug. 'I really don't know, i guess i just didn't want to talk about it.' I mumble but i know it is a bad excuse. Finn frowns and i sigh now too. 'I should have, i'm sorry.' I say again and Finn his mouthcorners go up a little. 'At least you won.' He says and i smile. 'Yeah.' I smile. My phone makes a sound and i grab it. 

Unknown number: Hey :)
Unknown number: It's Louis. 

I change the contact name from unknown to Louis and then type back. 

MILLIE: Hey, it's Millie :)

I type and then close my phone again. Finn has his closet open and i folding the laundry. 'Are you mad at me?' I ask and Finn turns around again. 'No.' He says and thank god that no dimple apears. 'I am really sorry.' I mumble and Finn smiles. I stand up and grab a sweater. I fold it neathly and lay it down on the sweater stable. It only takes us a few seconds before the basket is empty. I turn to Finn and lay my hands in his neck. 'You're too quiet.' I tell him and he shakes his head. 'No i am not.' He says and i roll my eyes. 'And i don't have to tell you, remember, we are not dating.' Finn says and i look down. 'Because you still haven't forgiven me, have you? That why you didn't tell me.' Finn says and i frown. 'No thats not true.' I tell him, but think about it for a second too. Is that why i didn't tell him? 'Look Millie, I said sorry, and i know you can't forgive me yet. But if you don't tell me things, it is never going to get better.' Finn says and i know he is right. 'It's not like you tell me so much.' I mumble and Finn sighs. 'I don't want to lose you Millie.' Finn says after a while of silence. 'I don't want to lose you either.' I mumble and Finn his forehead falls against mine. 'Just try and tell me things once in a while?' Finn asks and i smile. 'I will.' I promise Finn and myself.
