"I want to choose a job again! Why cant I change?!"

Clint looked at Millie. His eyes were still pained with the memory of what she had done to him but since he has lived as a kind person, he convinced himself to let go of that harsh memory.

"Fishing is the one you originally chose. Here, you have to live up to your decisions, you cant back down," Clint grunted.

Millie exasperatedly sighed. "This is so different," she muttered.

It had always been different. The sudden difference is the one always surprising Millie. Never did she expect to waste her three months on stupid fishing.

"Okay, okay. Im going fishing." she then agreed. There wasn't a choice anyway.

The real reason why she was hesitant on choosing fishing was because of Finn. She didnt want to face him.. part of her was ashamed and embarrassed at what she had said.

Sighing, she got the rod and net that Clint gave her and carried them outside.

The sand was hot on her toes. They were like swallowing her feet, with its soft and powdery texture. Millie hated sand expecially when the feet get wet because it sticks to it.

But as it was dry, she jogged carefully towards the sea.

She got a boat she saw on thw corner of sea. Not knowing how, she got on the wooden boat and carefully forced it to move forward. She looked funny as she forced pushing the wooden boat onto the sea. Frustrated and sweaty, she then attempted to push.

She had spent already 20 minutes trying to place the boat in the water. Once finally, getting the hang of it, she paddled towards the sea. She wasnt moving that much because her paddling was weak.

She then reached out for her rod and her net, but she was shocked to not find it beside her.

"Where the hell...?"

She stopped dead.

She left it at the shore.

She gritted her teeth in anger. She was so frustrated and wanted to cry.This was her eighth attempt,vin doing this fishing thing.

How she wished that even in life, there were unlimited attempts. Attempts to try to gain love, try to be understood, and efforts that shall not be wasted. But life is not a giving tree, there's a world full of negativity there that you cannot avoid no matter how you try.

She got her paddles and paddled towards the shore again. She impatiently paddled them, making the boat rock to and fro, but she didnt notice it with her flaming frustration.

This caused the boat to rock, and pull her to the waters.

Millie didnt know how to swim in the sea. She knew the different kinds of strokes, but there was something with the sea, especially, that made her knowledge about swimming fade.

She was being pulled, she was struggling, gasping for air. It was just her 2nd day here and she was about to die.

"Help!!" she croaked, but it was too late; the water had swallowed her completely.

;

Finn got his boat ready. He hummed a few tunes, since he was a big fan of music.

He caught sight of a boat, knocked over. He frowned and paddled faster near it. Finn's curiosity has always been an amazing source of things going right, so why wouldn't it work this time?

Rushing over, he saw a pair of familiar Sunnies floating in the sea.

His insides freezed, his mind seemed to start whirring. Would it cost another attempt to go save a person, another chance to be kind, loving to a person who never shown anything aside from hate?

Finn jumped into the sea, and saw Millie Bobby Brown.

;

"Wake up, please, wake up.." his voice was quivering, his wet hair covering his eyes. His tears were mixed with the water. He didnt want seeing anyone to die, especially him at witness. He couldnt imagine the heavy guilt that he would carry if he had failed to save her.

He had done CPR. He had tried to think of any other methods.. except one.

He had never kissed anyone before. Never. He found it awkward and weird. Would he be willing to kiss a person who seemed ti bring another perspective to their town, a perspective of a different thing of harshness.

It would cost guilt..

Or should he?
