"YOU'RE A GENIUS!"

-

Millie had been up all night.

She was trying to figure out a plan, something that wouldn't get them arrested and safe.

She knew that wasn't possible, knowing she was only a teenager, she thought she had limited options. No one takes a kid seriously, no matter what.

Millie sat in a chair, right beside the small twin bed that accompanied a sleeping Finn. His chest rose up and down slowly as he breathed, the only sound being his soft snores.

Since the bed was squished in the corner, Finn was pushed all the way against the wall for Millie to have room.

Although, Millie hadn't got into bed ever since he fell asleep. Natalia is passed out of the couch just around the thin wall, soundly sleeping too.

She wanted to help finn in any way she could, he was in danger and so was his friend.

This Dacre guy could be anywhere.

Her eyes drooped with tiredness, she leaned back against the chair and began to fall asleep before she carried herself to the small twin bed, collapsing onto the mattress next to Finn, her small body pressing up against his.

He suddenly wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close self consciously, murmuring things in his sleep.

Millie soon drifted off feeling safe in Finns arms as she snuggled into his neck.

-

Morning came around quickly, it was like each time you fall asleep, you'd wake up almost instantly the minute you fell asleep. Then it's daylight out all of the sudden.

That's why dreams make sleep last longer, sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad.

This time it was bad.

Finn shot up out of bed quickly, heavily breathing as he was sweating intensely, his chest rising up and down dramatically.

His heart was beating in his chest with a quick pace, practically pounding out of its chamber.

This caused Millie to jump and suddenly shoot up from the bed, looking over to Finn and immediately embracing him in a loving hug.

Finn had a bad dream, if it was a dream at all. He would prefer to call it a nightmare.

He took her hug gracefully, squeezing tight and not wanting to let go of the girl. His arms wrapped around her lower waist as he bent down slightly to engulf her into a full hug.

"What's wrong? Are you okay?" Millie whispered frantically into his ear, he nodded fiercely, still trying to calm down.

Millie strokes her hand up and down his back softly, calming him down almost instantaneously. He sighed in relief, his shoulders slowly getting out of their tense state, melting into the hug.

"Is everything okay?" A voice asks, Finn looks over to see Natalia shoot up from the couch with worry in her eyes.

Finn nods, pulling away from the hug. Millie turns around and nods too, lightly smiling.

"I think he just had a bad dream." She says gently, Natalia nods in understanding and the look of worry in her face transforms into sympathy.
