Finn was leaving.
I didn't want him to.
He said it was for his health. I told him I would do anything to take his health and let me go, so he would stay here happily.
I lay on the bed of Noah and I's hotel room. It wasn't as comfy as Sadie's guest bed. I missed her, and her house. This hotel wasn't aloud dogs, so we had to sneak Eliot in. "Do you understand me Eliot?" I said quietly as I pet the red dog's soft fur. Of course he didn't speak, but he grunted a little, I took that as a decent response! I nodded in agreement at the old dog. My knee stopped bleeding finally, but it was scabbing, and it bothered me a lot. "Don't pick at it Millie," Noah groaned as he watched me from afar. "you'll only make it worse." He said, continuing to read his book. I sat up in bed. "Noah, I can't live like this." I through my head back. "Neither can I." He agreed, putting his book down. "This is my fault." I began. "What?" Noah asked. "I shouldn't of brought us here, or even told you about my stupid ass idea about running away," I shook my head. "This isn't your fault Millie." Noah sat beside me. "How did you know we were gonna end up in New Jersey? Or steal a car? Or you finding the boy of your dreams?" He made me chuckle, but in a sad way. "Yeah but," I sighed once more. "also just.. me." I stood up. I started to sweat as I talked to the boy in front of me. "What do you mean?" Noah was honestly the most clueless person I have ever met before. I scoffed, shutting my eyes in annoyance. "The way I am, Noah." I clenched my fists. "I'm as skinny as a prick, I'm horrible at math, I get the worst grades, I'm horribly ugly, I can't love anyone anymore and the worst part is.." my lip wiggles as I started to cry. "I try, so hard." Tears fell down my face, but I didn't stop talking. "Do you know how hard it is, to be a teenage girl, and to live like this?" I cried so hard my stomach hurt. I blinked, falling into Noah's arms like a rag doll. "Mills," Noah cooed. "You have Finn right?" He held my face in his small hands. "N-Not anymore," I struggled. "What?" Noah almost gasped. I lowered my head, crying harder. My legs were drenched in tears, along with my shirt. I was growing angry, but also hurt inside. I heard a knock on the bedroom door, revealing Sadie of all people. She looked scared of me almost, she was also carrying my bra. I was confused, "you uh, left this a-at Finn's house." She cleared her throat, breaking the silence. Sadie through my bra on the bed nicely. "Are you okay-" I cut her off. "Oh my fucking god," I laughed into my sobs in frustration. "That's just what I need right now, more people coming in here, asking 'are you okay?' like every other person I meet asks me!" I was now angry. "And NO! I'm not okay!" I shouted. I burst out of the room, running down to the lobby of the small motel, and out into the street.
I ran and ran and ran.
I didn't know where I was going, I just wanted to get away. I wasn't supposed to run, but I didn't care. My feet hit the pavement like a heart beat, thumping in my head every time I ran. I felt like I was drowning almost. All I wanted to do was see Finn. It was starting to get dark out. A pair of bright car head lights made me squint, falling onto my knees. I didn't know what was going on. "Millie?" I heard a voice call out from the car. I didn't know who it was, but I didn't run. I didn't hide from them. I just lay on my hands and knees, crying with my back arched. It was a boy. He clutched me in his arms like I was a baby. I looked up and saw Finn Wolfhard. The moment I saw him my heart stopped. "Shit Millie." I cried some more into his shirt.

Finn's POV:
I took Millie in my car, placing her into the back.
I drove through the darkness until we reached my house. I quietly opened the back kitchen door, hoping no one heard. I carried Millie up the stairs quickly and quietly. "Finn?" Mom called from the other room. "Yup. Just me." I called back, biting my lip. I then scurried back up the stairs and into my bedroom, locking the door behind me. I lay Millie on the bed as she shut her beautiful eyes. "Fuck," I whispered, lying beside her. "That was close." I smirked, kissing her nose. She smiled, but it soon faded into a pout face, making me sad. "are you okay?" I whispered to her. She pursed her lips, "I'm scared." She said in the smallest voice possible. I ran my thumb against her cheek, "Why?" I pulled her closer to my chest, her hair smelling like rain and flowers. "for you." She added, making me worried. "Me to." I shifted my body onto my back, letting out a long sigh. "Finn." She said aloud. I hummed in response. "I know you are bi." She said, looking down. All I could think in my head was, fuck.
I sat up, not really sure how to respond.
"How long have you known." I was sort of angry, but I knew I couldn't get angry at her, not at Millie.
"Few weeks." She said. "Sadie told me," she added. I scoffed, shaking my head. "Sadie.." I clenched my fists in anger. "I also know that you had a thing with her Finn," she kept on adding small details which I tried to put into my past and not my future. I was growing angry. I had temper issues before, but it's difficult to contain them. "Shut up!" I yelled, throwing a single fist at the wall. I breathed heavily, and I started to sob as the pain started to flow through my hand. I winced, holding my shaky hand as I fell to the floor. Millie just sat there, looking at me with terror in her eyes. "Finn," she ran over to me. "I can't-" I cried some more over and over again. "I don't wanna leave you." My throat had a lump in it as I hugged Millie tightly.
