'You can't be serious'
'I'm deadly serious' I looked straight into his eyes. I could tell I was giving him a death stare, I didn't care.
'No'
No?
'What?'
'I can't Millie, I can't do it. Neither can you. You're turning 16 next month you can't run away now. What for? To stay with me? Well I won't come with you I refuse' He said it plainly but sternly.
'I thought you loved me' I whispered, not daring to look at him.
'What? I do Millie. I really do, I love you now and I always will, but this isn't about wether I love you or not this is about you, your family, your future. I can't do this Millie I can't.'
I felt my heart break into a thousand tiny pieces. He said no. He wouldn't come with me. I was going alone. The shards of my heart lay at the bottom of my stomach.
'If this is what you call love, I don't want to feel it' My voice was fragile. It threatened to crack at any moment.
'Millie. No matter how far away you are you'll always be in my heart and in my mind. I will miss you, so much but this is what is best for you. Promise me that you will just go. That you won't do a thing stupid.'
'No'
'No?' He repeated.
'I can't promise you anything Finn, because when we first dated I told you that I'd never break a promise that I made to you and if I promised you this, I'd have to break it.' Hot tears stung in my eyes and my words caught on the lump in my throat.
I stood on my tip toes and leaned in. I brushed my lips against his, it was a light kiss but his lips lingered on mine for a second more than they should've.
I turned on my heel towards the door.
'Goodbye Finn wolfhard'
I didn't dare turn back because I knew he would try and stop me again. I opened the door and closed it.
It was over.
I was going, without Finn.
