FOUR MONTHS LATER...
Sadie invited me to prom with her.
We went dress shopping, which I didn't really enjoy. Noah tagged along, considering the fact that he had nothing else to really do. Sadie lay a pile of different dresses in my arms, leading me into a change room. It was small, like a bathroom stall, and had a stool with a mirror. I stared at my skinny body. I had stretch marks, making me insecure, but I undressed my self anyways. I took off my pants, showing my underwear. I looked at myself in the mirror, soon having a horrific vision from the past.
Flashback:
Four months ago.
I was pinned to the hard ground, with a hand over my mouth so no one could hear me scream. He undid his pants, then he hurt me. He hurt me again. And again. I was left in my underwear on the concrete in a back alley.
My breath hitched, as I backed up against the wall, putting a hand out for support. "Mills, are you okay?" Noah called in. "Fine.." I cleared my voice, telling myself to calm down. I took a deep breath in, shutting my eyes, and quickly pulling the most decent looking dress in the pile. I slipped it over my head, and looked in the mirror. I cocked my head to the side as I opened the change room door, revealing myself to Noah and Sadie. "Wow." Noah nodded. I didn't even smile or blush or grin that time, I just stood looking miserable. "Cheer yo Mills." Sadie nudged my arm. "Does this look okay?" I groaned, looking in another mirror. "It looks fine Millie." Sadie complimented me. I fake smiled at her through the reflection.
We paid for my dress, and got a smoothie for each of us on the way home.
I didn't drink much of mine.
I stuck my head out the window, my tinted pink hair blowing in the wind. Noah laughed as Sadie turned up the volume. I felt free in that very moment. Like I could do anything or go anywhere I wanted to.
I didn't know how I survived for four months without Finn. I just wished he would be here for prom so we can plan on going with each other, but end up going to In 'N' Out, hey burgers, and watch the sun go down, and look for Bruce the star we named.

Sadie came back to the hotel with us, throwing her car keys on the coffee table. The thee of us lay on the bed with a bounce. "I can't believe I'm leaving for college." Sadie scoffed happily. "it's crazy." Noah added on. "I probably won't get into any art schools." I rolled over onto my stomach. "What?" Noah frowned. "Millie Brown you take that back ya piss head." Sadie hit my arm. "Ow!" I say. "You will get into an art school, I promise you." She raised her eyebrows. "Yeah Mills why would you say that?" Noah agreed with the ginger. I grinned, lying back on my back. "I love you guys." I shut my eyes.
