"DO THEY EVEN WANT ME ANYMORE?"

-

"I can't believe they actually let you go, but I guess it wasn't permanent." Gaten says as he licks his chocolate ice cream cone, staring down at Finn.

Everyone went downstairs to the cafeteria, the ice cream seemed to be free so they all agreed to just go down there.

Finn sat in a wheelchair because his leg felt messed up, he was afraid that something would happen to his leg so he insisted on getting a chair, it made him feel better.

They wouldn't let him go outside either, that's why the cafeteria was their only option.

He licked his ice cream with a sad and gloomy expression, he felt so helpless that he hated it.

Millie noticed his face and furrowed her eyebrows, looking over to him.

"You okay?" She asks, her sweet voice was laced with heavy worry. Finn shakes his head no, not wanting to lie to her. She instantly puts a hand over his shoulder, her fingers caressing his shoulder firmly. He sighed in contempt, his eyes drooping.

"Where am I going after this?" He suddenly asks, looking around at everyone as if they had a plan. He didn't expect them to and he damn well sure didn't want them to do anything. They all just looked around at each other, lost.

"Uh, maybe we could..." Caleb trailed off, not knowing if he should bring this up. He didn't want his offer to be rejected. Although, all the teens looked at him, ready for him to continue. He's been thinking about just spitting it out many times but for some reason, he couldn't until now.

"Do you remember where you-" suddenly he was cut off by a random nurse coming up to the group, in her uniform and everything.

She wore an overly happy white smile, she also held a thick packet in her hands that was being held by a clipboard.

"Hi, I'm one of the nurses who work on the level you're staying at as of now...we never got your name sir or any information." The woman says with concern.

Finn furrows his eyebrows, then points to himself with his finger.

"Finn Wolfhard." He says and turns away from the nurse. She nods and writes it down before looking back up.

"Um, and your age?"

The question caught him off guard, he didn't like giving out random information to this random lady. He didn't even like where he was right now but they were helping him.

He decided to tell her.

"17."

She nods quickly again and writes it down before flipping a page.

"Okay, do you know your parents number?"

Finn completely froze at the question and so did everyone else- except Sadie of course. She was probably the one who knew nothing of the situation.

Millie slowly grabbed his hand from under the table and laced their fingers together, their hands melding with each other as she gave it a light squeeze for him to say something.

"Uh-um, ah-" now Finn was just stuttering out random sounds and it was completely awkward. The lady still had a smile on her face though- making it ten times more awkward.

Caleb's eyes widened and he looked to the rest of the kids, their eyes widening too.

"Uh- we don't know the number but we may know where they live?" He says pretty loudly, his voice cracking. Gaten immediately nods, looking to Millie and she nods.

Finn just furrows his eyebrows, "Where-"

A leg kicked him and he winced in pain, bending over the table, his face scrunched up. Millie widened her eyes and put her arms around him lovingly.

"Oh my- I'm sorry, I'm sorry Finn." She rushes out quickly. Finn just nods with pain and takes it as an accident before he opens his eyes to see the nurse already gone.

"Why did you- never mind." He says quietly, looking up at the group. They gave him toothy smiles and gaten held two thumbs up.

His hand went down to his thigh in pain as he still felt it but it was faintly there, abruptly, his own hand had touched someone else's and now did he just realized that Millie's hand was still on his inner thigh.

He looked at her hand and back up at her and she just quietly let out a small laugh before pulling her hand away with the most flushed face.

He smiles cutely at her, slowly but surely putting his hand on her leg just like his, giving it a light squeeze.

He saw the way she jumped and how red she looked. For some reason, he enjoyed making her flustered. He thought she looked really adorable.

"Okay, lovebirds. Caleb was saying something?" Sadie abruptly says and earns an elbow from Millie as she just rolls her eyes.

Everyone turned to Caleb once again.

"Actually, the nurse beat me to it." He says in defeat, leaning over the table and avoiding eyes with the group. They furrow their eyebrows and brush it off. Finn looks over at gaten in question and he just shrugs.

"Okay, so...since we already told the nurse...are you- are you going to go home?" Millie asks Finn quietly, leaning over in his ear.

He felt her so close, her breath hitting his neck. It caused him to form goosebumps on his skin almost instantly.

Finn thinks her question over and spaced out on the table, in deep thought.

"Home?" He asks innocently, looking up at meeting hazel eyes. Their faces were so close, they forgot everyone was right there in that moment and it was just the two of them.

Millie gently nods, her eyes trailed down his face, pausing on his soft lips.

"I guess. Do they even want me anymore?" He continues hopelessly, still staring at her intensely. He just wanted to kiss her right then and there but he was hesitant.

He's never been this unsure about something, he was fine with kissing her in front of gaten—but in front of everyone? He just didn't know.

It's not that I don't want to kiss her—of course I like her and want to kiss her like
all the time—well not—well yeah—

Finns thoughts were cut off by loud whistling, he pulled away from the girl and their closeness and looked around, seeing as the whole group was staring at them.

His face went red as a cherry, he's never felt this kind of—should he call it embarrassment?

He looked over to see Millie roll her eyes, noticing that she had pulled away with the same expression on her face.

Maybe it was normal since Mills was doing it.

"Sorry." She suddenly says as she gives him a glance, he furrows his eyebrows confusedly.

Why was she apologizing to him?

Finn just sat there clueless, really yearning to learn how his emotions worked. He knew he couldn't control all of them.

Now his mind just focused on his family. Family is everything to him, it's what the gang taught him.

He hasn't seen them in twelve years, do they even live at the same house?

Maybe.

Or maybe they left him here, not caring if he wandered off and never came back.
