Other Half •• Fillie

Finn's POV
  I rub my clammy and sweaty hands together as I sat patiently wait for the lady to come in and talk to us. Josh and Chloe sat on either side of me, my friends decided to stay with Millie and keep her company.
  I had no idea what was about to happen. Possibly Millie would be taken away from me, given to a family member who could better take care of her. Either way I knew I would never see Millie again after this.
  "Finn it's okay..everything would work itself out." Josh and Chloe had been acting extremely weird towards me. They hadn't spoken to me, occasionally telling me that things would work out. Maybe they were scared too, maybe they where afraid that if they said the wrong thing, I'd be forever pissed at them.
  While drowning myself in what if's, the same lady from yesterday night walks into the little mini office room. I straighten up and try to act and look normal, but I could tell and feel that I was sweating bullets.
  "Are these your parents?" She asks as she sets down some papers and starts spreading them out.
  "No, Josh is my guardian and Chloe is just a friend of his." The lady nods and stars to talk.
  "So basically it's the same thi-"
  "We want to adopt Millie." My heart stops. What did they just say? Adopt her? WHAT?
  "Erm...what?!" The lady looks as shocked as I am.
  "Well actually I want to adopt her, josh has his hands full with this one." Chloe points to me and ruffles my hair. The lady straightens up and adjust herself.
  "So I would like to know the process so I could hurry up and do that. I want her to be able to come home with me when she gets out here." The fact that Chloe seemed so serious made me want to jump up and down like a little kid in a candy story. I couldn't believe she was doing this, and for me!?
  "Well you would have to show proof of a habitable home, great income, the mental ability to actually adopt this child, a house inspection, also a drug test from all the people living in the house, although don't get worried about that one, they only deny if a large quantity is found." Chloe and Josh seem to ease down at what the lady says.
  "All here." Chloe brings out a yellow folder and opens it. She takes our stacks of papers and hands them to the lady.
  "The drug test was authorized by the hospital here, just in case you wanted to follow up. And the house rent is spilt between me and Josh, we are renovating it." I look at the lady, impatiently waiting for a response. She looks at the papers intensively, reading word by word.
  "Well!" I say impatiently. The lady looks up at me and looks back down at the papers. I roll my eyes, not liking how long she was taking.
  "You'd have to stand in front of a judge, and if this is really what you want to happen, I have to come by the house this Friday, just to check it."
  "Fine by us, here's my information.-" Chloe reaches out her hand and the lady takes it. "Thank you for your time." The lady shakes Chloe's hand and Josh's hand, smiles at me then walks out.
  "THANK YOU!" I pull Chloe into a hug and squeeze the mess out of her.
  "Don't thank me yet." Chloe hugs me back and smiles at me. What she did...was truly amazing. She just made me the happiest human being on the face of this earth.
  I release from Chloe's hug and hug my brother.
  "Thanks for always being there." He hugs me back tighter and smiles.

I walk into Millie's hospital room with my head held high and a huge smile on my face.
"What are you so happy about?" Sadie says as she lifts her head off Caleb's shoulder.
"Millie's not going to be thrown in some stupid foster home. She's coming home, with me. Chloe is adopting her." Sadie's face lights up like a million fire works in the sky.
"FINN THAT'S-I-AHHHHHHH." She starts to scream and jump around. Dancing all over the place.
"It's not official yet...but there's no doubt that it will all work out."
Everyone then turns there head at the sound of Millie shifting in her bed. She starts to groan and toss and turn. I walk over to the side of her and rest my hand on her cheek. She starts to calm down, but a single tear falls down from her eyes. I want to wake her up but Sadie shakes her head no and tells me to wait.
  "But she's-"
  "She needs to learn to fight solo, Prince Charming won't always be there." I remove my hand from her cheek and watch silently as she struggles with whatever she's dreaming off.

  Millie's POV
"FINN! FINN!" I yell Finn's name more and more, getting more anxious by the seconds. I run through the woods, lost trying to find where he was.
  "FINN! PLEASE!" I looked behind me to see that I was still being chased. I was being chased by all my bad memories. All the times David would physically hurt me, all the times the girls at school would beat me and make me feel like shit, the last thing my mom said to me when I in the court room, all of it, running after me and trying to haunt me.
  "FINN!" I scream his name, trying to find him. Only he could calm me, only he could make the pain go away, only he, only Finn.
 
  "FINN!" I instantly sit up from the bed. My breathing heavy, my sweating dripping, my tears pouring.
  "Millie it's okay, it's okay." Finn grabs be tight and rocks me back and fourth.
  "I got you, I'm right here." I grip Finn with all my strength and tremble within his arms. The others stand around the bed, looking worried.
"What's wrong with me?" I sob. I truly didn't understand the answer to that question. I truly didn't understand why I couldn't control myself, why I needed to be watched over.
"What do you mean...you're perfect. Nothing is wrong with you, nothing at all Millie."
"Stop.lying to me...what's.wrong.with.ME!" Finn grabs be by my arms and tightly grasps them. I'm put into shock by the amount of force he's using on me.
"NOTHING! Nothing is wrong with you! I love you for you! We love you for you! Understand that!"
"FINN YOU'RE HURTING HER!" Finn looks down me, only to see that tears stream down my face. He slowly let's go and backs away. Not being able to handle the tension, he storms out the room.
"Finn..."
