-a not so little girl runs away, as her love chases after her-
Millie's pov
Our faces were only centimeters apart, Finn slowly pulled me closer. My mothers words; don't get attached echoed through my mind endlessly becoming louder and louder, it was becoming hard to ignore.
I put my hand of Finn's chest that was breathing slow breaths and gripped his shirt into my hands, I debated weather to pull him towards me or... don't get attached rang through my head for the last time
I pushed him away, causing him to stumble back a little, he caught himself and looked at me with confusion.
I put my hand over my mouth, not realizing how hard I pushed him "I-I'm sorry" I said, we stood there for a second in science, until I ran to the fire escape that led down to Grace's room.
"Wait Millie!" Finn shouted, I heard him but I couldn't go back, I was already halfway down the fire escape. When I got to Grace's window I sat at the bottom step and ran my fingers through my hair, re-living the events in my head.
"Fuck" I huffed, what have I done.. I felt a warm tear slither down my cheek. Stop crying about him, it's not worth it. I violently wiped the tear of my pink cheek
I got up and lightly knocked on the window because I couldn't open it from the outside. No response. I knocked again.
"Shit" I realized that if I wanted to sleep inside I would have to go back up and down another fire escape "shit, shit, shit." I ran my fingers through my hair again and looked down at the alley way, remembering the five years that I would look at that and think that it's home... this is my chance, I can run away now, I can go back home.

Finn's pov
"Fuck, fuck, fuck" I muttered to myself. "A shitty love song" by Jye now played softly in the background, I felt my face get warm with... sadness? I had never cried over a girl before, not even Iris, the girl that I had a crush on for 4 years of my life. But I was about to cry over a girl I had seen sleeping in the street only days before. I sat down in one of the empty chairs, and put my hands over my face. Was I in love? The warm summer night air, brushed against my hunched body.
"Fucking stupid" I mumbled though my tears into my hands. why did I do that? I sat there, tears dripping from my eyes into my hands. Until I decided that I should probably go back down, and see if I could find her with Sadie. I climbed down the fire escape that led to Sadie's bedroom window and knocked on the window.
"Coming" I heard Sadie's voice crack slightly
While I was waiting for Sadie I glanced down towards the alley way below me, something in the corner of my eye caught my attention, someone lazily waking towards the main street... "Millie?" I said to myself
"Millie!" I shouted praying that the mysterious body would turn around and it wouldn't be her.
Millie turned around and looked at me for a second then started running, she ran around the corner snd down the street so I couldn't see her anymore, Sadie opened the window behind me "hey Finn, did you and Millie have a fu-"
"Sadie, Millie ran away we have to go get her" I rambled cutting her off
"Fuck, are you serious?" Sadie rubbed her tired eyes and widened them
"Yes I'm serious" I said waiting for her to climb out of the window
"Finn I swear to god, did you hurt her?" She asked as she stepped onto the fire escape
"No! I'll explain later" I said starting to jog down the steps
"Just tell me what happened" she whined
"No time, common let's go" I ran down the steps of the fire escape, And almost fell at least five times. Sadie close behind me I jumped the last couple steps and landed in the alley way, I bolted towards the street that Millie ran down. With adrenaline rushing through me, my heart was already beating fast.
"Finn! Slow down I can't keep up with you!!" Sadie yelled from behind me

Millie's pov
My legs started burning after at least five minutes of running, so I decided to stop at a giant fountain, I sat down at the edge taking deep breaths in and out. I looked into the water and dipped my finger in swirling the water around, this amused me. I laid my back down on the cold marble and looked up at the polluted city night sky, breaths still firing out of me.
It was back to normal, all by myself, the way I liked it. Tomorrow was my birthday, and I wasn't about to waste it away thinking about Finn.
Short chap sorrrrrrrryyyy❤️
