Chapter 4

*goldie's pov*
'you think they're fine?' I ask Bobby, he's sitting next to me. I'm so happy to see Bobby again, but i'm concerned about Millie. I need to see her happy again, i know she's been sad recently.
'it'll be okay..' he whispers to me and I realise i've been glancing at the stairs every 5 seconds. he places a hand on my arm and he pulls me close, hugging me. '
stop. they're adults, she'll be alright' he sighs and I can't help but smile, hugging him back and we stay like that for a good 3 minutes. he pulls away and smiles, booping my nose
'are you hungry?' I smile and nod and we stand up, walking to the kitchen. we look through the fridge together and he keeps looking at me. 'what?' I ask shyly and he smiles
'i don't know.. i'm happy to see you, and i think you look very beautiful'
*millie's pov*
I pull away from Kian and look up at him sadly. 'we can't do this.. i can't hug you..' I shake my head and he sighs, running his hand through his hair
'millie i'm-' 'don't' I cut him off and turn off my camera, stop my music and grab my phone, walking past him and down the stairs.
'millie wait!' he yells behind me and I know he's following me, his steps getting closer to me as I step downstairs and everyone looks at me. 'leave me alone, Kian' I wipe my cheeks and walk out the house, his hand grabs my arm 'millie!' I stop and turn to him
'please listen to me. we need to sit down and talk, please' his eyes are so pleading and I can't resist him. I miss those dark eyes and that cute smile so bad. I tried to stay strong and push him away, but I can't.
'a-alright' I sniffle and nod. he sighs and we start walking. we've been silent for a couple minutes, and he keeps sighing.
'if you have nothing to tell me, i'm going back' I look at him and he rolls his eyes.
'millie, please.' he stops and holds my arm, the only reason I don't pull away is because I missed his touch.
'i'm sorry. i really am. you have to believe me..' I stare up at him and stay silent.
'i-i fucked up okay? i've always loved you' it's my turn to roll my eyes and I start walking back to the house.
'millie!' kian follows me and walks next to me 'okay please stop running away.. millie.' he pulls me to him and hugs me, I can't push him away because I missed him too much
'kian. stop.' I say but I don't want him to. he always loved me. I want to believe his words.. 'millie come on.. you know me' he looks down at me with piercing eyes and he smiles slightly 'please' I keep staring at him for a few seconds and I nod 'alright'
*kian's pov*
fuck I'm so relieved. she will listen to everything I need to tell her. we head back to the girls' house and everyone looks at us as we walk in.
'you okay?' jc says to me as millie goes upstairs 'yeah we're good' I smile at him and he does too, he knows how important it is to me. millie is the one for me, she makes me happy, and I fucked up letting her go.
'i'll leave her alone for now, she agreed to listen to me at least' I sigh and he taps my shoulder 'she'll forgive you, dude' we all gather in the living room as sam plays a movie, and millie comes back, sitting next to me. I smile to myself and look at her
'tell me when you're ready' she nods and smiles slightly at me
'after the movie, we can go in my room' I nod and she loosens up as we walk the movie, we laugh and have fun all together. bobby and goldie are sitting close on the opposite side of the couch, her head on his shoulder. jc and shea are cuddling, lena and corey are laughing at the movie, and sam and harrison keep looking at each other. I look at millie, she's smiling as jim carrey comes on the screen, I smile to myself as she laughs, covering her mouth with her hand. she's wearing my sweater. the one I gave to her 3 years ago, she kept it. she still loves me.. her eyes lock into mine and I smile at her
'you kept it' she blushes and sighs
'i couldn't get rid of it..' she looks down and I lift up her chin gently so she looks at me
'hey hey. don't be embarassed. i'm surprised you kept it but it really makes me happy' she smiles at me and looks at the tv again.
*millie's pov*
the movie ends and almost everyone is asleep on the couch. kian keeps imitating jim carrey and I can't help but laugh so hard, I'm crying. I missed his funny faces and his wonderful imitations. he laughs with me as I wipe my eyes 'dude you're making her cry' jc says and points to me.
'he's so funny, i can't stop' I look at kian and he's doing the crab face, which makes me laugh even harder
'guys guys.. go upstairs or something, everyone is sleeping jeez' shea says and we both stand up, I almost run upstairs as I laugh so hard, kian follows me and he closes my bedroom door behind us
'holy shit, my cheeks hurt' I rub my cheeks, taking a deep breath as I catch my breath. kian smiles and sits on my bed
'i'm glad i made you smile' I tug on my sleeves and I can't help but smile, looking at him.
'yea it's been a while' I bite my lip and sit next to him.
'now it's time to talk..' he says and sighs.
