Read the message at the bottom too when you're done reading pleaseeee!

Oh also, Millie's parents are Winona and David. I'm saying this bc we are gonna have the parents POV soon so yeah.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Millie's POV

I arrive at home and I'm greeted by my mom.

"Hey sweetie. How was school?" She says, handing me a glass of fresh lemonade.

"Umm, fine." I say, putting my hands behind my back, remembering the scars Romeo had left. "It was school, so you know how that goes." I scoffed.

She laughed a little. "Why were you late to come home?" She said. "I'm fine with it...Your curfew is 8 so I don't care. I'm just curious."

"I was just walking around with Finn." I say, half lying. I can't tell my mom about Romeo. His mom and my mom are best friends and that would totally ruin it.

"So are you two a couple now?"

"I guess so." I say, smiling. My stomach felt like there were butterflies swarming around in them. No, butterflies is an understatement... It felt like birds. Finn and I were a couple. We loved each other and that meant so much. "We said we loved each other."

"AWE MILLS YOU'RE GROWING UP!!!" She squealed, me rolling my eyes playfully. "Finn's mom and I always hoped and kinda knew that was gonna happen someday, and now it has! My heart is so full!" She says smiling.

"Mom, calm down. It's not that different from when we were best friends, just now we kinda....kiss..." I say, my cheeks turning a bit red. She makes a face that is to say something like, 'ooo kissing!' but I ignore it. "Mom, the problem is, Nick hates me. He forbids Finn from seeing me." I say, her face beginning to look upset.

"Nick shouldn't have control over who Finn loves. He's not his guardian." She says, trying to reassure me.

"I know, and that's what I told Finn, but Nick beats him up. I've seen it through my window. Then Finn told me that if we keep dating, then Nick has threatened to hurt me." I say. You can see the pain growing in her eyes at the thought of her baby being beaten up by a 20 year old man.

"That's it. I'm going to talk to Finn's mom about this. This is not okay, I-" I stop her.

"Mom, please don't go all mama bear on the situation. Nick will probably put on a dumb, innocent, doe eyed bambi look, to play off his mom and act like he's said nothing. It's seriously pathetic." I say, urging her not to go.

"Fine. I won't go now, but I can't promise I won't go over there while Nick is out with Joanna." She said.

"What? Nick and Joanna broke up, you didn't know that?" I say, confused. It was pretty much public knowledge. Anyone who knew the Wolfhards, or followed them on facebook, knew about the breakup.

"Yes, I know. They got back together though." She said. Again? They broke up like 6 months ago, got back together, broke up, and are back together again? "I saw her pull up in their driveway, then Nick came out and it got a bit PG-13 rated, if you know what I mean. Tongue and all..." She said.

"EW MOM GROSS!" I said, disgusted whilst rolling my eyes. "I'm gonna go call Finn." I run upstairs and pull out my phone to see a text from Finn.

Finnlard: Call me asap

Mills: Okay? I was gonna anyway, I have a question

Finnlard: ok

(On the phone, the person who is on the other side of the phone is in italics, so in this case, Finn.)

I click the call button and sit there for half a ring, then Finn picks up. That was really quick so it must be important.

"Hey."

"Hi what's up?"

"Honestly, I'm not even sure myself." What does he mean by that? "I got home and I walked passed Nick's bedroom and his door was open. Next thing I know he's making out with Joanna, their hands ALL OVER each other!"

"That's so weird! What did he say when he saw you?"

"He actually seemed really happy. I even said your name and he was totally cool with it."

"Wait what? You said my name and he was cool with it?!"

"Right? It was so weird. I just said 'um hey nick, sorry i'm home late... millie and i were hanging out and i know you forbid me and im sorry but-' I was a bit worried he would stop and come and hit me, but he was totally fine with it. Apparently the whole reason he was upset, was because he missed Joanna."

"I don't know about that, Finn. He's hated me his whole life, and suddenly when they get back together, he likes me? It just doesn't seem right..."

"Oh, right. I left one detail out. Whilst... touching him... i noticed something. On her finger. Her left one to be exact."

"HOLD ON WHAT?!" Are Joanna and Nick getting married?! This doesn't make sense! They were literally broken up yesterday! "THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE FINN! I-"

"I know it doesn't make sense, but this means that soon Nick will be out of the house, basically leaving the house to me. But it also means that we can date with no fear of him hurting either of us! Millie, we are free."

"Finn I-"

"Meet me at the treehouse in 10 ok?"

"Got it."

I hung up the phone and begun to get ready to see Finn.

-

I walk to the treehouse, my straight brunette hair blowing in the wind. It was chilly outside, much like the waves in California. I went to California to film a movie once. I miss it. The smell of the waves, and the wind in my hair. The breeze was nice. I was wearing a maroon sweater that Finn got me for my birthday a few years back, and some dark washed jeans, along with some uggs. I was feeling very fall-y today so that's what I went with.

When I finally make it to the tree, I see a very tall Wolfhard, with curly hair standing, looking up at the tree. He obviously heard my feet crunching in the leaves because he turned around, and it wasn't the Wolfhard I had expected.
