It was just after six when Finn dropped me back at home.
I walked into my house and heard stupid pop music blearing from the Tv. I walked into the living room and watched my baby sister Ava jump around.
I sighed to myself. Sometimes I wish I could go back to being so young and so innocent. Life then was not at all problematic.
I watched as Ava danced around, completely care free. She was in her element.
The song ended and she went to strike her final pose but she toppled back into the table spilling a cup of juice.
'Oh, Ava' I sighed.
'Sorry' she giggled in her babyish voice, she know that always won me over.
I bent down to pick up the juice cup and the sleeve came off my shoulder.
'Hey! What is that?' Ava yelled, prodding the spot on my shoulder where the lighthouse was.
I flinched as it still hurt so bad.
'You never let me draw on you!' She said folding her arms.
'Ava it's for school, it will wash off in the shower. Whatever you do you can't tell mom or dad.' I pleaded.
'Fine'
I knew I could lie even if Ava did tell my parents but what if they asked to see, what if they figured out it was a tattoo. I would be in so much trouble.
I was mad. At myself for agreeing to get a stupid tattoo but also at Finn for persuading me to get it.
He to,d me he would call at exactly 8pm. I decided to ignore his call and maybe he would figure out that I was pissed at him.

I checked my phone again.
7:59pm
Oh god. I promised myself I would ignore his call but I knew I wouldn't be able to resist when he rang.
My phone flashed on at exactly 8pm, was he waiting with the phone in his hands. Waiting for the clock to strike 8.
I let it ring once, twice, three times.
Should I?
I grabbed my phone and pressed the green button.
'Hello' I breathed down the line.
'Hello princess, I thought you weren't going to pick up' he says.
I stay silent. It's not like I can tell him I was going to ignore him.
'Please tell me you're it listening to that dreadful music' He laughs referring to the music Ava is playing full volume on the Tv.
'Oh no, my little sister loves it' I reply smiling
'Good because I'm not sure I could face you if you liked Ariana grande' He chuckled.
'Tell Ava that'
We talk on the phone for hours. Within minuets of hearing his voice I wasn't even remotely mad at him anymore.
'Where are you' he asks.
'What?'
'Where are you?' He repeats.
'In my bedroom why?'
'Are you sitting down?' He asks.
'Yes why?'
'On your bed or?'
'Yeah on my bed, why?' I question him again.
'What colour are your bed covers?'
'Red and white, why!' I ask why again but I know I won't get a response.
'I'm trying to picture exactly this moment in time, so when I'm down I can look back and think about how today was the best day of my life' he says quietly.
I can't tel, he's abit embarrassed to admit this, it's corny I'll admit but I agree.
I feel the tears well in my eyes. I can't help but let out a sniff.
'Are you crying princess?' He asks worriedly.
'I-no-I-yeah I guess it's just b-because this is so perfect, me and you and I feel like I've done nothing to deserve this. It's all so surreal no one has really excepted me for who I am apart from you and it's just so scary to think that you could be gone in a millisecond.' I gasped through the tears.
'Princess'
'Yes'
'Why would I leave the thing I love the most' he asked.
'I-i' I didn't know what to say, I knew he meant that thing was me but, how was I supposed to respond to that.
'By that I mean you, Millie'
'I know'
'Millie, I'll never leave you. I'd be out of my mind to leave something as precious as you'
It's came out before I even thought. I didn't even have time to process my words.
'I love you Finn'
The line was silent for a second or two.
I cringed at the thought of him changing the subject or ignoring it.
'I love you too Millie, so much'
I felt myself deflate. The relief of the feeling being mutual had lifted a giant weight off my shoulders.
'I should go Finn, it's getting late, I'll see you in Monday' my voice is tinted with happiness.
'Goodbye princess, just promise me you won't cry anymore. I can't bare the thought of you being sad and me not being there'
'I promise' I whispered.
'Sleep well princess'
I ended the call and held the phone to my chest, like it was Finn I was holding not my cell phone.
I had no reason to break my promise to him because I had everything I needed.
I had love, I had reassurance, I was happy and I had Finn.
