17. Trapped

A/N: Chapter 17. Probably my favorite one.
And the longest.
I suggest y'all to read again the last chapter cause it's been AGES since I updated and this one is kind of a part 2.

Millie's POV

  I run like there's someone chasing me. There is. More precisely, a kid in a black hoodie. And I'm trying not to lose this stupid game.

  I don't like running. And that's the most annoying part of these games. I was fine living my sedentary life, eating ice cream alone in my room, isolated from the world, even though my friends kinda hated me. Well, I could still be there if it wasn't for Noah.

  Now here I am, into the woods, with a bunch of things going on inside my head and my competitive side telling me not to give up. I said I would never miss a night game, but that doesn't mean I love them.

  I found a tent. But when I was about to get inside of it, a girl from Finn's team decided to show up out of NOWHERE and steal it from me. Now I'm looking for another one, while this surprisingly fast boy chases me. And he's getting closer.

  Oh crap, I meant to say the other team, not Finn's team. He's not the only one there. But he's the only one I can think about.

  This is driving me insane.

  OH, COME ON. I can't help it if he looks as handsome as ever and my heart still drops when our eyes meet.

  When he caught me before I fell, and I looked at him, that zoo in my belly showed up like it never left. His eyes looked so bright, yet so broken. I could almost catch a glimpse of his smile, and oh how I wanted to see him smiling.

  I know. I'm in love with him.

  He can catch me a thousand times, but it won't keep me from falling. Cause I already did. And hard. Like, so-hard-even-my-heart-shattered.

  I need to get this boy out of my mind, so I focus on finding a new tent. Slowing down my pace, I feel little droplets of sweat running down my face and I sigh. I don't think the hoodie boy is still after me.

  I put my hands on my tights and look down, catching my breath. I don't know where Maddie gets these ideas, the night games are always so tiring.

  "I found her! There!" Someone yelling startles me and I look back. There's a boy pointing at me and the other one starts walking in my direction. Oh great, there are two of them chasing me now.

  I won't lose this game. I just came back. So I start running again.

Finn's POV

  I'm really lost. And I don't even care.

  I'm not the athletic type of guy. I hate sports. And my mind's a mess. So I can't see the point in running to find a stupid tent in the middle of the fucking woods.

  I'm sorry. I'm kinda mad.

  Millie is just so beautiful. And she makes me so mad. She thinks she can show up in all her beauty and cuteness and not make me fall even harder for her? I'm expected to be angry 'cause she's the reason we broke up. But I can't. How could I? Gosh, this girl drives me crazy.

  So, getting back from where we started, I can't run or focus on this game at all.
