A year has passed and so much has changed for starters they are all in college some are closer than others. They've grown up and with that comes change, changes that you wouldn't believe. Millie is still fighting her battle that everyone thought she...
Millie kept up with her meal plans. Group therapy seemed to help her a lot more than she would have thought. Being in a room with people that share the same stories and insecurities like herself, made her realize that she isn't alone.
It was her last day at the center, she finished packing her bag making sure nothing was left behind. She will keep up with her meal plan and will have check ups with Nancy.
She walked to the front desk to get her cellphone and check out. She didn't expect to see Finn in the lobby waiting for her.
She walked to him, "You came. You actually came," she was stunned to see him there.
"I'm here," he smiled. He grabbed her bag from her, both of them walking out together. They walk to his car, he opens the door for her and then he goes to the driver side.
"Thank you for picking me up. But I thought Ayla was supposed to."
"She was but I asked her if I could. I thought I could take you somewhere."
He drove and played music until they got to their destination. They got out the car and she followed him to the place. She looked at the shop, it was a record store.
"Since you have a record player I thought you could find some new vinyls for yourself,"
Most of the records at the house belong to Ayla, with all different types of genres. And yes Millie loved them all but she didn't have any of her own.
She looks at all the stacks of records, "You'll have to help me Finnie." he nods and leads her to a certain section that he knows she will love.
She looks through the pile and anytime she see's one that she might like, she hands it to Finn. He smiles and holds them for her, while he tells her which song is his favorite from each album and which one's she'll love.
Finn decides to pick one vinyl for her to listen to. He looks at her, admiring the way she's in deep thought looking through each vinyl. He doesn't hesitate taking out his phone and taking a picture of her.
Millie hears the camera click and looks up at Finn, "No," she tries grabbing his phone but fails when he pulls back the phone from her reach.
"You look so pretty," he shows her the photo. She hovering over the vinyls, looking through them. She's wearing a black long sleeve under the blue denim dress. Her hair is pulled back in a ponytail, showcasing her perfect side profile.
She blushes and tries to hide her smile but fails. "Delete it." she states trying to sound intimidating.
He doesn't listen to her, instead he posts it on his Instagram.

After Millie was done browsing, Finn went to the register and bought her the vinyls. She argued with him and kept insisting that she will pay, but Finn did not let her. He quickly gave his card to the cashier before she had a chance to grab her card.
He earned a smack on the arm making him laugh as they both walked back to the car. Before taking her home he decides to make another stop. This one shouldn't come as a surprise they were at the beach.
"I'm starting to think that you like the beach more than me," she teases.
He smiles at her before he looks back at the ocean. He admits she is the reason why he likes the beach. He never really liked it as much before. Especially getting sand stuck all over his body, or the waves drowning him in the salty water but seeing her eyes light up or how she looks at peace when they're at the beach, he forgets every negative thought about it.
"Thank you for this. I really appreciate it," she says leaning against him.
"Come on," he motions "Let's go for a swim,"
She shakes her head, "No." now she understands why he made her change out of her dress and into some shorts and t shirt. His ridiculous excuse was that it was too hot for her to be wearing a long sleeve.
He grins as he walks up to her and she immediately tries running away but fails. His arm wrap around her, she shrieks as she's getting thrown against his shoulder.
"Finn! No!" she yells kicking his chest and punching his back.
He steps in the salty water, walking in until the water hits against his waist.
"Don't you dare-" she's cut off by the water hitting her body.
She submerges from the wave and pulls Finn down with her as another wave crashes against them. She splashes water against him, with a smile on her face.
"You're an idiot!"
He smiles as he picks her up again spinning her around before another wave crashes against him making him fall. Her laugh is the only thing he hears as he admires the smile plastered on her face showcasing her dimples.
They spend a couple more minutes in the ocean before they decide to get out. Millie holds onto Finn, both of their clothes dripping wet as they get to the car. He pulls out a bag with clothes inside. He grabs his clothes and then hands Millie the bag.
She looks through it and decides to just change into one of his shirts, that fits her way too big, reaching just below her thighs. She looks over to Finn who's shirtless as he grabs a dry shirt before putting it on.
She looks away quickly before he catches her staring, a blush creeping up her cheeks, biting her lip to stop her from smiling.
"Ready?" he asks. She nods before giving him the bag and getting in the car.
The drive back home is silent, a comfortable silence with music playing in the background. Millie can't stop smiling, this feels nice but part of her is telling her, no reminding her that this won't last. There is no way this will be a permanent thing because at the end, he'll leave.
Finn slows down to park the car in front of Millie's apartment. Ayla comes out running to the car, she crashes against Millie pulling her into a hug.
"I've missed you!" Millie hugs her back, holding onto her tightly, "I've missed you too."
They both pull away from the hug, Ayla helps and grabs Millie's stuff from Finn. Ayla walks back inside the building. Millie looks at Finn, "I'll see you around. Bye Finn," she gives him a quick hug before walking inside.
She cursed under her breath just saying that and not staying longer with him. She's afraid of letting him in, even though she already did.
She should have said no when he picked her up, she shouldn't have spent so much time with him. She shouldn't have let her guard down but its always down when she's with him. No matter how much she should hate him she could never. He hurt her, she keeps forgetting about it when she's with him.
She never got an apology from him, for leaving. She replays their last moment together, every night before falling asleep. She told him those three words, she's never said those before to anyone else besides her family and friends. She thought he had felt the same but clearly he didn't.
It broke her heart. She wished she got to hear those words back because then maybe everything would have turned out differently.
