the angel; fillie .

the sister.

almost a week had passed. i wasn't living with millie like my goal was but i was visiting for at least an hour a day to see how she was holding up. i had placed a job at a thrift store. the good things about that job was making money and getting everything half price because my manager was nice and i had told her my situation. in that week, i had made around twenty dollars and at the end of the week, i got millie a half priced ring. i hoped it would fit her since her birthday was that day.
after work, i headed to her house and she made me coffee and we made brownies together. good spirits filled the room. after they were done baking, i found some candles in a random drawer and i stuck them in the top. i sang to her and she blew them out.
"what'd you wish for?" i asked sarcastically.
"all i've ever wished for has come true. you're my best friend, finn, and i love you."
i showed her the ring,"i hope it fits. i was thinking it would be a promise ring; because truly, i love you too."
her face turned red and the ring fit perfectly. she hugged me tight and then i kissed her unexpectedly,"i'm sorry, millie."
"why are you sorry?"
"i thought—"
she kissed me,"i know it now, i really do love you."
i laughed,"would you like to be my girlfriend?"
"yes, i would."

the day went on and it seemed like everything was normal but our hearts beat a little faster and everything was perfect. then the doorbell rang and ruined our movie. millie paused the television and walked over to the door. it was hopper and some girl. hopper asked,"is finn here?"
she nodded and let the two of them in. hopper found me and continued,"this girl tell me that you and her are twins."
i took a deep breath,"is your name Ayla?"
the girl had dark straight hair with bright blue eyes, plump lips and a ball-like nose. she nodded her head,"and you're finn?"
"yeah. you're the other wolfhard. it's nice to finally meet the girl i was cuddled up against for nine months."
hopper interrupted,"i've gotta go, i'll see you two soon,"he said to millie and i.
Ayla sat in a chair across from me and i asked millie,"can we have a few alone?"
she understood,"of course,"and she walked up the stairs and disappeared into her room.

Ayla and i talked for hours. it was awkward at first but then as we talked it became like we had known each other our whole lives. i discovered that she was adopted at three months old into responsible parents, unlike our biological parents. she had an older sister and a younger brother, all were adopted. she was pretty sheltered her whole life until she got in a bad group of friends who forced her to smoke and drink a couple times. her parents found out and made her go to private school but that didn't change anything. she was raped by her boyfriend in the 9th grade, very recent. her parents took her out of private and sent her back to public, all had been well so far. but she was certain the glory wouldn't last too long. i guess all the wolfhard's and grazer's have a messed up life.
