(Later that day)

Finn and Millie had gone to a small cafe near their apartment. They had spent the last past two hours catching up about what had happened the last year.

After they finished breakfast, they started walking towards a park.

Millie's hand was locked with Finns.

"If you don't mind me asking, are you and Noah okay?" Millie asked softly.

"Why wouldn't we be?" Finn asked.

Millie knew something was wrong and Finn wasn't telling her what it was.

"Never mind," Millie whispered as she stared at the ground.

Finn furrowed his eyebrows.

"Do you want to go back now?" Finn asked.

"Yea," Millie responded.

Millie and Finn walked back to the apartment.

•••

Millie pulled open the door, she stopped.

"Hey Finn?" Millie turned around.

"Yea?" Finn looked up from the ground.

"Could you go to the store and get me tampons?"

"Uh— Are you on your—"

"No, but I will be soon," Millie interrupted. Finns cheeks were rosy red with embarrassment.

"Um.. Sure," Finn said awkwardly as he turned around.

"See you later," Millie said as she went inside.

She made her way up the apartment. She opened the door.

"Hey," Caleb waved to her from the couch.

"Where's Finn?" Gaten asked.

"He's at the store," Millie looked away from Gaten to Noah.

"Noah, what happened between you and Finn?" Millie asked.

"Uh- What?" Noah looked at the other boys.

"I know something happened, Caleb told me you guys got in a fight," Millie said.

"Gaten was in it too," Noah said.

"What happened?" Millie said sternly, she was getting impatient.

"He got mad cause Noah said something and he got made and stabbed him with a knife, and I tried to stop him and he gave me a black eye," Gaten stared at the ground.

"Oh my god... What did you say?" Millie asked Noah, she furrowed her eyebrows.

"I said... Um- That you probably never coming back," Noah stuttered.

"That's not even that bad," Millie was a little horrified.

"Ya, he's been acting out a lot," Caleb said quietly.

"He's changed," Millie stared at the ground.

"What if he never really changed," Caleb said, he exchanged glances with the other boys.

"What do you mean?" Millie furrowed her eyebrows.

"What if pretended to be someone he wasn't when he was with you?" Caleb said.

"That's impossible," Millie chuckled.

"He was almost the same as he was before as he is now," Caleb explained.

"You're saying that the person he was when he was with me, isn't really him?" Millie eyes became teary.

"Well, he did love you. He just was nicer when he was with you," Noah said quickly.

Millie looked down at the ground, she took a deep breath. She felt betrayed.

"Guys, I think a better way to say it, is that he had bad habits before he met you, when he met you, you took away those bad habits, and when he lost you, the habits came back," Gaten explained better.

Millie looked up. She seemed to relax a bit. She knew Finn had a violent side, but she tried not to think about it, it scared her.

She turned around when she heard the door open.

It was Finn. He was carrying a box of tampons.

"What are you doing?" Caleb laughed.

"They're for her," Finn placed them on the counter.

"No shit," Caleb laughed.

Finn rolled her eyes.

Millie looked away from Finn and stared at the ground as he walked towards her. He put his arm around her. She took a step away from him. He raised his eyebrow.

"Um- I need to go," Millie said.

"What? You just got here," Finn furrowed his eyebrows he looked hurt.

Millie started walking towards the door, when she started to reach out to the handle. She turned around. Finn had that same heart broken face on his face, the same face he had when Millie was taken away. That face made her heart hurt. She knew she had just arrived there, but what she was just told, it hurt her, she felt betrayed. She took it in the wrong way, and she would later discover that.

"I'll be back... soon."
