kelsie's pov:

today is day 3 of staying at finn's house. i woke up at 6:30 this morning (part of my new being a better person plan) and i feel okay today. i'm sat at the window bench seat in my room, watching tons of tasseled brown leaves slowly fall to the floor outside. autumn is different in atlanta, not freezing cold, foggy and raining all the time like at home. it's still warm here, about 17°c today. which is bloody boiling compared to usual. i'm watching twilight for the 1000th time on my nearly broken computer, with a vanilla latte; i mean, how could i complain? mary makes the most amazing lattes, better than starbucks i'd say! i love staying here. it's safe, and beautiful, and everything is... peaceful. mary works until 6pm, and finn's brother isn't arriving until tomorrow, so i've had the house to myself the past few days. it's amazing, the quiet. i get to visit the set every few days; i went yesterday and it was great. i missed everybody so so much, seeing them felt like home again. sam hasn't messaged me since what he said before, but i know he's still after me. he will be as long as he's alive. but i've found ways of distracting myself from him. like writing, reading, watch my favourite films and baking. listening to music has been a favourite distraction for me recently though. i go off into a world of my own when i'm listening to mus

i drop the pen to the floor and jump to the sound of the door opening. my gasp turns into a sigh of relief when i see finn walk through the doorway, holding a takeaway. his eyebrows knit together at my facial expression.

"jesus christ you scared the shit out of me finn!" i say, still catching my breath. my fear melts away when i see his face.

"sorry i should've knocked!" he places the food on my desk and wraps his arms around my shoulders apologetically. i feel bad but shit he scared me!

"yeah i'm okay, but i thought you weren't getting home until late?" i exclaim, glancing at the time on my computer. 2:22pm.

"i thought i'd surprise you with food and a movie - which clearly i did amazingly." he joked. "anyway, the duffers let me have the day off so i could spend time with you."

"sounds great. sooooo what are we watching then?" his warm embrace fills every room with pure joy and love.

"you choose. i don't mind what we watch."

"you can watch twilight with me if you want to join. i'm about 20 minutes in, but i can rewind it."

"again? how do you not get bored of that movie kels!" he rolls his eyes at me.

"because it's good. and robert pattinson is fit. but that's just a bonus." i smile at him while he frowns at me.

"don't worry. nobody will ever compare to you my boy." i whisper into his ear and giggle, feeling his heartbeat against my chest.

"fuck kelsie stop teasing me!" he laughs off, as his cheeks flush scarlet. i smirk at him and then press play.

Finn's POV:

10:56pm

"has he said anything else?" i mutter, tracing the vein on kelsie's wrist gently. she sighs softly and adjusts her head onto my chest.

we haven't spoken about sam since she left the set, and i figured she might want to talk about it.

"no... nothing since the last text." she mumbles softly into my ears. i suppose she doesn't need to hear about him now. the last thing she needs is me hassling her about it.

"are you okay? i mean... i know that if this had happened to me i'd be a lot less calm & brave than you are, but then again you're keslie.." i stutter, but it's true. i've never met a human who's able to stay so collected & relaxed after everything she's been through.

"yeah, i'm actually... fine. i know i'm safe here, and i'm done letting that monster ruin my life. wasting my time worrying about him is pretty overrated." she chuckles, but i know deep down she's still scared of him. anyone would be. she yawns quietly, and i realise it's probably really late. i glance at the clock on her nightstand. 1:04am.

"it's past 1, you better get some sleep kels." i whisper, brushing my fingers through a soft strand of her golden hair. she nods and stands up, before wrapping her arms around me.

"stay here tonight?" she asks, almost quiet enough i could barely hear her. what will my mom think when she sees i'm not in my room? but i want to stay. fuck, stop overthinking it finn.

"as you wish, ma'am."
