Younger Us [Fillie Story]

Aftermath

Finn's POV.

I arrived home from a really good night that turned in seconds because of those girls. They were really mean and the words they said were hurtful. I hate seeing Millie upset. And there's nothing I can do about it.

"Hey, finnie!" My mom said with a smile. She walked over to me. "How was the date?"

"It was good, but it went bad." I told her.

"What do you mean?" She asks confused.

"These girls, they saw us and picked on Millie for wearing her lovely clothes and being with me." I felt bad for leaving it that way. I could of said something.

"Oh dear. How is Millie?"

"Not good. She's upset and I had to call her dad to pick her up. Don't worry I explained what happened. I don't want him thinking I was the problem." I told my mom straight.

"That's good. Oh Finn! I'm so proud of you. I bet Millie will be too." My mom hugged me and all I could think about was Millie. How I should of been there for her. How I could stick up for her? But I didn't.

I woke up in a blind panic as I had the same dream from last night. Girls picking on Millie and I sat there. I got up, got dressed and raced round to Millie's. I banged on the door and waited for someone to answer. Luckily they did.

"Is Millie up?" I ask her older sister.

"She's in her room." Paige told me.

"Can I come in?" I ask. She opens the door and lets me. There sat Charlie, her mom, Ava and her dad.

"Finn!" Her mom said shocked.

"Can I see Millie please?" I ask politely.

Millie's POV.

I laid in my bed as I remembered last nights misery. It went from good to bad.

"Millie!" I heard someone call my name. I stay facing away, I can't look. "Finn is here." I stay silent even though I know Finn is in my room already. "Just stay in here. She might talk." Mom left I think and I was left alone with Finn.

"Millie! I'm sorry. It's my fault for not sticking up for you." I sit up but still facing the same way I was before.

"It's not your fault. I know I should of ignored them. But what they said really hurt." I told Finn. I heard Finn came round and sat beside me.

"Look at me Mills." I turn my head as he gives me a reassuring smile and holds my hand placed on my lap. "I love you! I feel bad."

"I feel stupid. I gave them satisfaction and they're probably telling everyone now." I said looking away.

"Millie! You're strong, I know you are. You got through a lot with your sister and your family and even me and your friends. You're everything they aren't. I wish you could see that." I look to Finn and smile. "One day, you're gonna make everyone proud. Stand up for yourself and remember you are beautiful." I smiled and looked to Finn again.

"Thanks Finn. That really helped." I stayed facing Finn as we both stayed quiet and started leaning in. No one can interrupt us. We both lean in close and suddenly our foreheads touch but our lips still apart. I wanted to kiss him but it didn't feel like the time. "Finn?" I say.

"Yeah." He answers.

"Should we kiss?" He smiles and we both begin to move closer and closer until our lips touched one another. I felt butterflies in the pit of my stomach and fireworks exploding outside my head. We broke apart and we just looked at each other before we could say anything.

"Wow!" We both said together.

Yay! They finally kissed! No interruptions this time. I always love to hear your thoughts on this book. Thanks again guys. You make my day.
