Chapter 7

Finn's POV

As soon as I had that "aha" moment, I picked up my phone and looked through my contacts looking for a specific name. When I scrolled to her name, I clicked on it and put my phone against my ear waiting for the ringing to stop. After a few rings, the ringing stopped and a voice echoed through the phone.

"Hello"

"Hey Millie," I said hesitantly.

"Oh my god, hey Finn! Why'd you run off earlier?"

"I'll explain soon, can we just meet in the quad?"

"Yeah, sure. I'll be there in ten."

"Okay, thanks," I said and hung up before grabbing my belongings.

"Where are you going Finn?" Josh asked when I opened the door.

"I have a plan to win Jack back," I yelled excitedly, "and it better work because he means everything to me."

"I'm sure it'll work Finn, good luck!" Josh replied.

"Thanks!" I said running out of the room and slamming the door behind me.

When I got to the quad, Millie was already there waiting for me. She had her brown hair tied back in a short ponytail and was wearing a blazer and some black leggings.

"Hey Mills! Thanks for meeting me here," I exclaimed giving her a hug.

"No problem, just tell me everything Finn," she said after pulling away from the embrace.

"I will, let's go sit down. It's a long story."

We walked over to the nearest bench and sat down. I took a deep breath trying to ignore all the students whirring around. I sighed again and started telling her the story.

"So, you know how Conner came out to us today at Wendy's," I started and Millie just nodded.

"Well, when I went to the bathroom, he followed me and started talking to me before backing me into a corner and kissing me. I pulled away right away but it was too late. I guess, coincidentally, Noah was there and took a picture of us and sent it to Jack." Millie's mouth was agape as I was talking.

"Oh my god! Fuck, how could Noah do that to you without knowing the whole story?"

"I don't know but Jack is pissed at me and I am so done with Noah. I just need to make it up to him and I think I know how."

"Okay, well I'm here to help in anyway that I can."

"Thanks Mills. I'm so glad that I have a friend like you." She gave me a hug as I started tearing up. At least I didn't lose everyone that I care about, I thought.

"I'm gonna call Chris and see if he'll help."

"Chris?" Millie asked confusedly.

"Jack's friend. He goes to Dartmouth with Jack," I responded as I took out my phone.

I scrolled through my list of contacts until I came upon his name, Chris Richards, it said and my stomach churned. I clicked on his name with butterflies swarming around my stomach.

"Uh, hey Finn," Chris's voice bellowed through the phone taking me aback. He sounded pretty angry.

"Hey Chris. Can you help me with something? It's really important," I responded, waiting for him to yell at me or something.

"Seriously Finn! Why the fuck would I help you? I know what you did to Jack and it broke him. He tried to kill himself. He loved you and you fucked up. I tried to be there for him but he didn't want me, he only wanted your cheating ass," Chris screamed into the phone, angrier than ever.

"What!" I yelled causing Millie to flinch on the bench next to me. I looked around and saw people staring but I didn't care.

"Just fuck off Finn. You've done enough damage," he screamed before hanging up.

I slowly lowered my hand and realized that my jaw was basically on the ground.

"What's wrong?" I faintly heard Millie ask but I wasn't really paying attention. All I wanted was to make sure that Jack is okay.

"We have to go now!" I screamed grabbing Millie's wrist and pulling her off the bench.

"What, why?" she asked trying to loosen my grip.

"I'll explain in the car, let's go," I replied. Millie looked at me for a second before reluctantly following me across the quad and toward her car.

I ran as fast as I could as Millie tried to follow closely behind. When we got to the car, I stopped to catch my breath for a minute before jumping into the passengers seat while Millie jumped behind the wheel.

"Are you going to tell me where we're going?" she asked while she put the car into "drive."

"To find Jack," I replied simply.

For the first time, I noticed that my cheeks were wet. I guess I had started crying. I can't lose Jack, I just can't. I love him. I'm so sorry Jack, I'm coming for you, I thought as we pulled onto the road.

A/N - Hey guys! Sorry for the shorter chapter but I thought that it was appropriate to end where I did. Hope you enjoy!
