millie

i collapse on my bed. the tears are long gone, now it's just numbness. sadie sits criss-cross next to me. "mills?" she asks.

"yeah?" i whisper faintly.

"i love you," she replies. god, i love sadie. she has the softest, kindest personality of anyone i've ever met.

"i love you too," i sit up, giving her a hug. she runs her hand over my hair.

"i have an idea," she grins, pulling away. "how 'bout we have the traditional breakup ceremony where we lay in bed eating icecream and binge watch movies."

i smile. "that'd be great."

we raid my kitchen. we get a few gallon sized containers of ice cream, chips, and i heat up two slices of pizza. we lay next to each other on my bed, the food spread out in front of us. on the tv in front of us, we play mean girls. i stuff myself with food, caught up in the movie. sooner that expected, finn is gone from my mind. if only it could stay that way.

finn

i stand, astonished, in the middle of the decorations that engulf my room. millie did this for me. for us. i messed up really bad. i had the girl of my dreams, and of course, i had to go ruin that too. i slam myself down on my bed.

i text charlotte.

me: char

char: yea

me: i've gotta tell you something

char: mhm

me: so millie found out

char: how'd it go

me: well, not as expected.

char: soooo?

me: i feel bad

me: this is gonna be hard but i'm breaking up with you

char: WHAT?!

char: why?!

char: i cant believe you finn

that's the second time someone's said that to me.

me: i'm sorry. but i need millie back

char: well bye then finn. enjoy ur life:(

honestly, i'm gonna miss charlotte, but i realize now that it was a terrible thing to date her, especially behind millie's back. i contemplate texting her. with my luck, she's blocked me, but it can't hurt to try.

me: hey, you probably blocked me, but in case you didn't, then uh, hey. i just wanted to say that i'm rlly sorry. i was a jerk, no denying that. i really don't know why i did that. i'm not gonna try to excuse it. and i'm sorry for snapping at you tonight. and i'm sorry for cheating on you. you don't have to forgive me, but i want you to hear my apology, and maybe we can try to be friends again?

after rereading the text for the umpteenth time, i hover my finger over the send button. just do it. i click it.

i check back on my phone five minutes later to see if she's responded. nothing but the "delivered" message is there.

millie

my phone dings. i sigh, picking it up. it's from finn. i skim over the text, then tap on sadie. she pauses the movie. "what's up?" she asks.

"finn just texted me," i show her my phone, and i see her eyes scanning over his words.

"hmm..." she trails off.

"what should i say?"

"that's up to you. maybe you should talk it out in person though," she suggests while watching me try to type up a response.

me: ok. we can talk tomorrow after filming

finn: ok

the conversation tomorrow could go two ways.

1: he snaps again, and i do too. we both yell at each other and nothing gets done. the hope of becoming friends deflates.

or 2: we talk things out semi-politely. we discuss what he did wrong, and how we can fix our relationship.

let's just hope it's the latter.


a/n: ok this chapter sucked IM SORRY. i also said it would be up by friday and it's tuesday sooooo sorry for that too. also it's only like 620 words but that's because my keyboard wasn't working and i was getting aggravated so i just ended it like this. anyways i'll try to update soon, thanks for reading!
