it's the only way

------------------------------------------------------------
in which ~ we discover the only thing worse than being friend zoned
------------------------------------------------------------

sadie's p.o.v.

"noah?"  i question, knocking on the locked door.

"mmhm."  i hear noah groan from inside.

"it's sadie, open up." 

i hear the shuffling of feet then the door opens.
noah greets me with a tired smile and a head of messy hair.

"sads i was trying to sleep." he grumbles laying back down.

"that's what night time's for!"  i smirk.

he sits up and playfully punches my shoulder.

"hey! what was that for!" i giggle.

"hey what was that for!"  noah yells back mimicking my voice.

he doubles over laughing.

"hmpf." i sigh crossing my arms.

with that, noah stops laughing.

"why are you here sads?"

"can't i just want to see my bestest friend?"  i reply.

he ignores the comment, looking me up and down quizzically.

"okay fine.  i came because gaten and grace came over and caleb abandoned me."

"why not hang out with finn, he should be home."  noah sighs.

"becauseeee, finn brought home a girl." i giggle.

the cheery grin on his face is wiped off.  noah looks down at the ground, frowning.
i immediately regret my light tone.

"that's great."  noah manages to say before getting choked up by tears.

quickly i get up and close the bedroom door, jogging back and sitting by noah's side, rubbing his back lightly.

"you can go."  noah grumbles.

"nonsense, there's nothing you can do or say that'll make me leave."  i state.

he let's out a sob.

"it's okay noah."  i say softly.

-

noah's p.o.v.

how can this be okay.
it can't.

just when i thought maybe i'd be ok for once, he brings home another girl.
i can't take this anymore.  what hurts me most is seeing him so happy and wishing that what makes him happy was gone.

i know it's awful.  all i want is finn's happiness but not like this. 

sadie rubs my back gently.

"schnapp, i know you don't want to hear this but she seems nice."  sads says lightly.

i wonder if she can see me breaking.

-

millie's p.o.v.

slowly i walk down the hall to the living room.

finn jumps up off the couch the minute i walk in. 
i tuck a piece of my hair behind my ear and glance up at him.

"millie."  finn says.

"wolfhard." 

"that's my sweater."  he sighs.

"huh."

"so how's your arm?"

"fine, thanks." i reply. 

"that's good.  so i was thinking about what to do today, i've narrowed it down to movies or the beach.  we could-"

i cut him off. "finn, i'm gonna get going sorry."

"what?"  finn looks at me shocked.

"you heard me."

"but the deal, mills no day means no gun."  he whispers, shifting between his feet.

"i know."  i reply.

then i walk out the door.

-

maddie's p.o.v.

i'm pissed.  no, i'm more then pissed.  the week after wolfhard breaks up with your one and only, me, saying that i'm like a sister to him, he brings home another girl.  yeah, i know.
the worst part is, i wasn't even friend zoned, it was worse, i was sibling zoned. 

yeah the girl seems nice and all that shit but seriously, why would he do this to me? 

when grace and i get back to my room i decide then and there that i'm moving in with grace. 

"i can't stand being around him anymore.  i can't take the pain of still loving him.  having him bring home girl after girl and rub it in my face."  i sigh, burying my face in my hands.

"shhh, of course you can stay with me
hun."  grace says rubbing my back.
"but are you sure about this?"  she asks.

"i'm positive,  no reason to stay is possibly the best reason in the world to leave."  i reply.

"alright."  grace sighs, blowing air up at her bangs, making them float.

she walks over to the closet, dragging her feet, and grabs my black suitcase. 
quickly i shove anything and everything i need into my bag.

"if i missed anything, they can sell it because there's no way that i'll step foot in this hell hole again." i state, chewing on my nails.

"i'm not sure about this madds." grace whispers.

"i'm never sure about anything."  i state.

with that grace grabs my suitcase dragging it down the hall to the front door.  i follow behind her. 

we walk into the living room thinking we're alone.

grace stops abruptly, looking over at me.  "madds still not sure this is the best way to get away from him."

"it's the only way."  i reply.

"the only way to get away from who?"  i hear an all too familiar voice ask.

turning around I come face to face with finn.  my heart skips a beat.  he smells the same, i feel lightheaded.  he takes a small step back.

"nobody finnie, don't worry."  grace replies, saving me from answering.

i glance over at her, making eye contact and mouth a quick thank you.

"what's with the suitcase madds?"
my tongue goes heavy when he uses my nickname. 

"i uh, um i-" grace cuts me off before i can embarrass myself anymore.

"she's gonna stay with me for a little bit, we want some girl time."

finn looks down at the ground, then back over at us.  i can't read his emotions.

"oh okay, have fun." he says smiling.

"see you around, wolfhard."  i mumble, getting out of that apartment as fast as possible.  my heart pounding out of my chest; my palms sweaty.

damn it.
i wonder if he realizes what he still does to me.

or is she?
