Flashback:
May, 2000
"I hate it here." I said to Noah as we sat on the roof of he convenient store, drinking root beer in bottles. "Why?" The boy asked. "I dunno." I shrugged. "I wanna go where culture, and art, and hope is." I say confidently. Noah chugged the bottle of root beer before throwing it onto the ground below. "You excited for the new year though?" Noah tried to cheer me up. I wiggles my nose in thought. "Yeah." I shrugged. "But I want something more," I sighed. "not this."
My eyes shot open.
My heart rate quickened as I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion as to where I was.
Was I in heaven?
I wondered.
I heard a heart beat up on a big black screen beside me. I realized I was in a hospital bed, with a white pillow, and a vase of dying flowers on the table beside the bed. My throat was incredibly dry, making me cough a few times before trying to sit up. "Don't sit up," The nurse said. I've never seen her before. She was pretty though. I calmed myself as instructed, lying back down. The nurse ran out of the room, leaving me alone for at least two minutes before returning. "You've been asleep for a while Miss Brown." She said, staring at me. I was confused, but the only thing I could think of was Finn.
"Where's Finn..?" I panicked. "It's alright," she lay be back down, "n-no, I, I need to see Finn." I tried to tell the nurse but she wouldn't listen. The door burst open, making me look straight at the door way. Sadie, Noah, and Gaten came bursting through the door. My eyes widened as the group of teens gathered round me and hugged my body tightly. "S-Sadie?" My frown turned into a wide smile at the sight of the red head. I then looked to Gaten, he brought me a knew pile of flowers, replacing them with the dead ones in the vase. The last person I looked to was Noah. He had a tear on his cheek as he was the last to hug me. "Hey Mills." He smiled, kissing my forehead. "We've missed you." Gaten grinned. "I've missed you too." I sighed. "H-How long have I been asleep?" I sat up finally, my back cracking and my head feeling heavy like a bowling ball. Everyone looked at each other. "Uh," Sadie began. "You've been asleep for a few weeks." She held my hand. "I don't understand." I shook my head. "You've been in a coma Millie." Noah lowered his head.
My heart skipped a beat.
"What?" I lay back down in shock.
"For, about three weeks." Noah seemed like it was hard to say.
"W-Where's Finn?" I started to panic again. "I need to see Finn." I said over and over. "He's not here." Sadie said, looking into my eyes.
I began to cry.
Dad always told me if I cried I was a baby.
I just cried and cried into my pillow.
"She has to see him Noah." Sadie clenched her teeth together. "Look at the poor girl?" She stared at me as Gaten hugged me. Noah took one last breath in.

Sadie had to fight with the front desk of the hospital. Noah, Gaten and I just stood there in shock at what Sadie was saying. "I'm sorry but she's not fit to leave miss!" The lady at the desk raised her voice. Sadie pointed a finger in her face, yelling random shit I didn't wanna bear to be honest.
Once we finally left the hospital, some how... Sadie sped down the free way faster than ever.
We arrived a block away from Finn's house, but I didn't care. I swung open the passenger seat door, jumping out, the emergency beeper going on and on, telling the driver that the door was open. I was still in my hospital gown. I ran towards his house. The sky was white and grey, and the cold air went down through my lungs as I panted. I ran up to his drive way. I saw him, sitting on the ledge of the roof outside of his bedroom window, along with Caleb. They were both smoking, as usual. Finn was lying down, swinging his leg over the edge of the roof. Caleb spotted me first, nudging Finn in the ribs. "What the fuck man?" He sat up straight, soon staring down at me in utter disbelief. His eyes widened as I looked up at him. "Millie!?" His voice squeaked as he ran down the side of the roof, jumping down into the garbage bins and towards me. "Is that my baby girl!" He started to cry softly as I engulfed him into my arms. He scooped me up, twirling me around and around. We both fell to the grass, kissing each other everywhere. "You're here!" Finn's voice cracked as tears formed in his beautiful eyes. "Oh my God," He hugged me, rolling around on the grass with my body against his own. This was the happiest moment I've ever been in in my entire life! "I'm here." I cried, holding his hair. Finn dug his face into the crook of my neck as he cried tears of joy. "I'm sorry I said all of that shit I'm front if you baby girl," he sobbed. "I promise to fucking god I didn't mean any of it! My parents, and everything," he held my face with his shaky hands. "I, I just I'm glad you're here." He wrapped his arms around my back and waist as I shut my tired eyes.
(OKAY IM SORRY THIS SHIT IS INTENSE IM CRYING IN THE CLUB OVER HERE SOMEONE PLZ SEND HOLY WATER THSI IS THE CUTEST SHIT EVER I HAVE GOOSE BUMPS💕)
I had forgotten what Finn had said to me.
He said he didn't love me, and he didn't care about me. Do I forgive him? I wondered.
"I missed you so much!" I whispered in his ear.

7:56 am.
I slept with Finn last night, still in my hospital clothes. Today
Finn was leaving.
I couldn't bare it.
I didn't want him to leave, and I didn't think he did either. I nudged his bare back lightly, waking him up with a small grunt. "Morning curly." I whispered. "Hey baby girl." He squinted. His smile soon faded into a sad frown. "Fuck," he lay on his back, putting his hand against his forehead. "I have to leave today." I shut his eyes with worry. I rubbed my eyes as hair fell into my face. "I don't wanna see you leave." I sighed. "Finn!" I heard a woman's voice call from the other side of the door. Finn and I jumped in shock, holding each other's hands tight. Finn's door was locked. His mother tried to open it, "you better be up! We need to catch the plane!" She called out. "Yeah, I'm getting dressed." Finn's deep voice sounded depressed. "Two minutes Finn!" She shouted again. "Okay!" Finn growled. He then turned back to me, kissing me one last time. "I'll miss you." He said, pulling me into his chest. His cross on his necklace dangled as I watched the golden necklace. Finn looked down at me, his curly hair long, and springy. "Finn!" His mother called out from the kitchen. "I'm coming!" He sat up, giving me one last kiss, allowing his tongue to glide against my lips as I kissed the taller boy. "Bye." I said softly like a kitten. "You're so beautiful," admitted once more before I ran out of his window and onto the grass before his mother could see. I wanted to cry, but I had no tears left. I cried too much the past few months. I hid behind a car as I watched Finn sloppily load up his suit case into the back trunk. I bit my lip as I stared at their car pull out of the drive way. Finn took one last look out of the front seat window at me. After his car was out of sight, I went into the middle of the empty road, just standing there.
