the party
millie's pov

we are all at lilia's house getting ready for jacob's party. i feel nervous, because i like jacob a lot and i never know how to act around him.

"millie! this is perfect" iris says as she holds up a skimpy black dress.
"yeah, no" i say.
"what? why!?" iris moans.
"because it's too short and it exposes everything" i argue back.
"millie just wear it!"

i roll my eyes and slip the dress on, not having a choice since i have nothing else to wear. i wear some vans and put my hair into a half up half down style. we arrive to the party 20 minutes later. you could hear the music from the end of the street. as sadie opens the door, i got a smell of the house, which was alcohol and smoke. i wrinkle my nose at the smell as i step inside. sadie runs of to caleb and me iris and  lilia go to get some drinks. i pour myself i glass of coke and i feel someone come up behind me.

"no alcohol?" a voice says.
i turn around to see jacob smirking at me.
"uh- i" i stutter
"here" he says, he opens a bottle of vodka and adds it to my drink.
"i don't drink" i mutter nervously.
"just try it" he says while looking at me.
i take the glass and reluctantly start to drink it, the strong taste of alcohol enters my mouth causing me to squirm.

"that was disgusting!" i say loudly.
he laughs at me, "you're cute, dance?" he asks.
i giggle and take his hand. he leads me to the large living room where everyone is dancing.

i turn around the corner where i suddenly see him. finn. he is making out with kenzie ziegler, maddie's sister. what a fuckboy i think to myself he literally has sex with her sister last week. i wanted to go up to him and slap him. instead i walk past him with jacob and pretend i never saw him. me and jacob dance for ages, drinking also. after a while he starts to flirt more with me, commenting on how 'hot' i look or moving his hands up and down my waist.

"want to go upstairs?" he says while smirking.
"sure!" i say.
he grabs my hand and drags me upstairs.

finn's pov
i am sat on a couch with kenzie and we have been talking for a while. she has been rambling on about her ex boyfriend who 'broke her heart' and she is now trying to find 'true love'. those words made me gag. as she is talking i look up to see millie, dancing. she looked different tonight. she was wearing a really short dress that exposed a lot. she is dancing with this guy that has his hands all over her. i look away and carry on talking to kenzie, it's not like i gave a fuck about millie.

i head to the bathroom and i go to the one upstairs since the one downstairs had a couple doing- well it doesn't matter. i stroll past a bedroom when i hear a girl crying.

"jacob get off me!" the girl croaks out.
"relax it's fine" the guy says.
"no- jacob" she cries out.

i shove the door open to see millie, her eyes were puffy from crying and her cheeks were bright red and wet with her tears. there was a boy on top of her who was pinning her down and sliding his hand under her skirt while he planted kisses down her neck. i hate millie, i really do. but i can't walk in and not do anything, that's fucked up.

i run over to jacob and throw a hard punch at his face. he groans in pain and falls on the floor as blood comes flowing from his nose. i kick him in he side to make sure he stays on the floor and then i turn to millie who is still in a state of shock. she looks at me with her glossy brown eyes and she cries even more.

"finn-" she cries.
"quick come on" i say.
she runs over to me and follows me downstairs. i run outside, and get into my car, millie jumps into the passenger seat.

we are silent for a while. i look at her. she is still crying quietly but she has calmed down. the street lights shine on her and i can see hickeys on her neck. i feel bad for her, no one deserves what she went through. she turns to me and looks into my eyes. i look away and continue to drive.

"finn, thank you, i mean it" she says quietly. i carry on looking straight ahead.
"i had to do what i had to do" i say.
she continues to cry quietly until i reach her house. she looks at me and opens her mouth to say something, but no words come out. instead she looks down and then gets out the car.

a/n ; this chapter is really short but quite a lot happens, so I hope that makes up for it aha!
