Millie's POV

(The song "The Return" on the ST soundtrack is definitely recommended while reading this chap ; ) )

I have awaited this day. Freedom. Fresh air. The city. Him.

   "Okay miss brown, you are free to go. You stay out of trouble alright?" An officer said, as I smiled the biggest smile anyone could ever have. "Thank you so much! I-I uh guess this is it." I say suddenly feeling overwhelmed. What was the world like now? It feels like forever since I've stepped out onto the streets. I take one last deep breath, before stepping outside the doors. I looked up to the grey sky, as little droplets fell onto my face. I couldn't help but cry of happiness, and smile all to myself. I got stares from other people, but I honestly didn't care.
I didn't care.

   I took a walk on the streets, admiring every little thing. I guess you never know how much you need something until you don't have it. I was having the best time, until I noticed something. A weird man in a black hood looked as if he were following me. Every corner I turned, every street I crossed, he was there. I began to panic, and didn't notice I walked right into an alley. An alley with a dead end.
Shit.
   I started looking for ways to escape, and even prepared myself to fight back. After being in jail, I definitely wasn't as scared anymore. I saw the black hood turn into the alley, and start walking towards me. My face went blank, and I immediately put my fists up. "Hey! Stay back! I will throw a punch if I have to!" I yelled, taking the black hood by surprise. I could tell because he stopped for a moment, and just looked at me. He was about two feet away from me now, and I took my fist and was about to swing. He put his hand up, signaling me to stop. And I just held my fist there, not knowing what to do. Everything began to go in slow motion. I didn't know why.
   The black hood puts his hand down, and instead grabs both sides of his hoodie, and begins to take it off. Some curls bounce up, and a freckled face comes in view. I begin to tear up, and I put my fist down slowly. "F-Finn?" I ask, my voice cracking, as I realize I an now crying. "Mills.." he says, almost relieved. "Oh my god." I say in almost a whisper. Before he had the chance to respond, I run up to him and hug him so hard, almost cracking his rib bones. "Oh my god." I say again, crying into his sleeve. We release the hug, and I stare into those eyes. I smile, tears running down my cheeks. He does the same, and before I knew it, a pair of lips touch mine. I've missed the feeling. I loved the feeling. It was a short but passionate kiss. Just what I needed. "H-how did you find me?" I stutter, still trying to get it together after what just happened. "Mills, I've awaited this day just as much as you." He says smiling. "What did you do while I was gone?" I ask, now curious. "Think about you." He said, causing my heart to melt. "Oh, and I need to show you something." He says grabbing my hand. "Where?" I ask. "You will see."

   After running through the busy streets, we finally arrived at a hotel. It seemed really fancy, and I didn't know why Finn was taking me here. We walked inside, and I immediately saw a chandelier hanging from the ceiling, and fancy paintings on every wall. "Finn, seriously. What is this?" I ask, but he just ignores me. We walk to the elevator, which was in the middle of the first floor, its shiny gold color making it easy to spot. We were about to walk in, but Finn stopped me. "Floor 5, room 11." He said, causing me to furrow my eyebrows. "Wait what? Why aren't you coming with me? Are you going to kill me?!" I ask a little too loud, causing people to stare. Finn facepalms himself, and pulls me away from the elevator. "Oh Mills. Of course not. Just go. I promise it's nothing to worry about" he says with a warming smile. I close my eyes, and take a deep breath. I walk away from him, and head into the elevator. It was just me this time, and I couldn't be more nervous right now.

   Ding. This was my stop. I stepped out of the elevator, and onto the elegant carpet. I read the numbers on top of the doors in my head, each number increasing, as well as my heart rate. 8, 9, 10....
11.
   This was it. Wait Finn didn't give me a key. What the hell Finn? I mentally ask myself. I decide to just go with it, taking a deep breath before grabbing the door handle and pulling it down. The door opened, and my heart rate increased by 100. I pushed it open, and the door creaked. I walk into what seemed like the living room, and took a look around. Is there anybody in here? God, what am I doing?
   I see another open door, and quietly walk up to it. The door was wide open, and I could see a room, with a tv, and a bean bag. A child was sitting in it, laughing at the tv.
I know that laugh.
   "A-Ava?" I ask, crying. "Sissy?" She asks turning around, her pretty face now looking right at me. I run to her, and pick her up. I was now sobbing, and she was too. "My god, look how big you've gotten!" I say, grabbing her cute little cheeks. "I love you Millie." She says crying, as I just hold her, never wanting to let go ever again. "A-are you here by yourself baby?" I manage to ask, still crying, out of breath.

"No, she is with me."

   I turn around, seeing my mom standing at the door, tears flowing down her cheeks. I put down Ava gently, and she just watched me. "M-mom?" I choke out, running up to her and hugging her tight. "Oh my god its really you!" I practically scream out, since I couldn't control my crying. "Millie, my god I've missed you!" She says, sobbing now. I look to my right, and see Finn standing at the main entrance, a few tears rolling down his own cheeks. I look at my mom, and hold her cheeks, as I hug her again. We stay like this for some time, before I break the embrace, and run over to Finn. I hug him again, thanking him over and over again or everything. "W-while you were gone, I looked everywhere for your family. Day and night. I was going to make sure you were happy as soon as you left that 'hellhole'." He said, causing me to chuckle at the nickname I came up with. "I love you so much Finn." I say still crying a bit. I hug him, and soon Ava joins, hugging my legs, since she was still a cute little shorty. Then, my mom joins, and hugs both me and Finn. We all cry of happiness, and we stay this way.

I couldn't be happier.
