chapter three;

10:00pm

four hours have past and still no one has spoken, besides in there little pairs. those which were sadie and caleb, millie and noah & gaten and finn

eventually noah fell asleep, leaving millie on scene. she grew tired of ease dropping on the two boys behind her, so she put in her headphones and rested her head on noahs, since she was in the middle and he was so small.

ten minutes had past since the boys stopped talking and it went silent. that was all until gaten finally gave up on trying to find a comfortable position to sleep in.

"finn" he whispered not wanting to wake up the others. finn turned his headphones down and nodded, signalling for gaten to finish.

"i can't sleep back here, it's too crowded" gaten sighed still shuffling around.

"its not that bad gaten" finn turning his music back up not wanting to hear gatens whining anymore

"that's easy for you to say, you're a twig" gaten rolled his eyes, dropping his shoulders in defeat

"psst millie" gaten whispered tapping millie on the shoulders since she had her headphones in like finn

"mm" she replied turning around to face gaten, taking her headphones out

"switch with me" gaten pleaded

"what? no. why" millie said scrunching her eyebrows together

"it's to crowded back hear for me" gaten said looking around at his surroundings. in all honesty, it wasn't crowded.  gaten was just being a baby

"and why should I have to sit there?" millie whispered back not wanting to wake noah

"because you're small, it won't be uncomfortable for you" gaten replied completely ignoring the fact millie put her headphones back in her ears

"please please please please ple-" gaten whined holding his hands out together.

"shut up you're gonna wake sadie" caleb whispered from the driver seat "what's going on?"

"it's to small for me back here" gaten sulked smacking his back into the chair

"millie-" caleb started

"no" millie said stubbornly, cutting him off

"just fucking sit there" sadie mumbled in her seat, turning her body to lay the other side.

millie sighed, ripping out her headphones. "move" she said taking off her seatbelt.

gaten practically jumped from his chair to the back, totally forgetting about noah sitting below him

millie couldn't help but laugh when she saw the way gaten landed in noahs lap, but stopped when she look up and realised who she had to now sit next to, finn

she groaned crouching up in her seat.
"i hate you" she said looking down at gaten before standing up all the way beginning to step over the back seat

as if on cue, the car swerved making millie crash into finn, landing in his arms

"hey princess" finn smirked, his face only inches away from hers

"fuck off" millie said pushing herself off of him, sitting in the seat next to him since the other side had bags and all soughts of things crowded onto it

"sorry everyone, there was a bird" caleb yelled from the front seat since everyone had woken up

"yeah a bird" finn mumbled putting his headphones back in his ears looking over at millie who was doing the same

the two sat in silence, listening to music for another half hour until millie became tired

"now i know why gaten was so uncomfortable" millie groaned shuffling in her seat still, trying to stay as far apart from finn as she could

"we can swap if you want?" finn offered

"why are you being nice" millie stopped moving, furrowing her eyebrows together

"im always nice" finn winked at millie causing her to roll her eyes for the one hundredth time today. "so do you want to swap?"

millie sighed resting her head the opposite side to finn "no it's fine" she said taking out her headphones trying her best to fall asleep.

five more minutes past and millie was still unable to sleep

"finn" she whispered knowing now for sure, everyone but him and caleb were asleep

"yeah" he whispered back turning down his music so he could hear her

"i can't sleep, this bag is so" millie said trying to press it down as much as she could "so bloody bumpy"

finn sighed, lifting one of his shoulders up

"what?" she said eyeing his actions

finn didn't say anything, instead this time he pointed to his shoulder, hoping she would understand what he was asking and leave out the awkward talking about it.

"what's wrong with your shoulder?" millie laughed, mostly because she knew was he was offering, she just wanted to hear him say it

finn sighed again shaking his head. "you can rest your head on my shoulder, if you want" finn said smiling the slightest bit.

although he hoped millie didn't see, she did

"oh.. okay, thanks" millie smiled too awkwardly putting her head down

it didn't take long her her breathing to slow down, she was now asleep

he couldn't help but smile at her

no no no finn! you don't like her like that. you don't even like her as a friend.

don't you?
