the day passed by quickly, millie of course has to go home, but she explained how she found out sadie and finn ran away and got in contact with nick to find them.
but on an other topic, sadie couldn't help but overthink things. she knew finn liked her sure, but did he love her? does he want to be with her, like she wants to be with him.
she's absolutely attached.
currently, finn and sadie sat curled up into a ball on nick's bed watching some old 80s movie sadie had never seen before, but finn really enjoyed them.
"hey finn?" sadie asked, moving her head to look up at him, due to the fact that she's practically sitting in his lap.
"hmm?" he broke his eye contact with the tv screen in from of them.
"did you ever.. love iris?" sadie asked bluntly. finn smiled a little, she sounded a bit envious of his past relationships. although iris and him were never really together.
"where's this coming from?" he asked lightly, with a slight chuckle. he pushed the ginger's hair behind her ear. she smiled.
"well, i was just.. wondering, i guess." she said awkwardly. she avoided eye contact now, finn noticed.
"iris and i were never really together, sadie. sure, we did things i guess but i had no emotional attachment towards her. i was just bored." he explained. sadie nodded, listening to his every word.
"did you guys ever.." she trailed off uncomfortably, not really wanting to say it out loud, but she kind of thinks about it a lot. was finn a virgin like her?
"have sex? why does it matter sads?" he asked, still in his happy mood. he held her close to him still.
"well, i don't know. i'm sorry i asked.." she breathed, he left her breath on his chest.
"we didn't." he paused. "have sex, i mean. i'd rather wait for someone i love, someone i genuinely care about.." he paused once again, "like you." he smiled, again.
sadie went silent, she didn't know what to say. he moved away from her just to make eye contact for a moment.
"i love you, sadie. genuinely. i believe i am in love with you."
it was a crazy thing, love. isn't it? it's almost like drowning. in a way. it's like, it's over your head. falling in love is drowning. sometimes you don't even realize it at first.
like every emotion sadie's ever correlated to the feeling of love; describes the feelings of drowning.
the water surrounds you, it's everywhere, but at the same time you can't really feel it touching you. everything is in slow motion while the water finally takes ownership of your body by filling your lungs with itself. you can't stop it, it happens faster than you can swim your way to the shore. and not everyone has a life guard to save them. sometimes, you have to give up. you have to give in. but when you do, your body relaxes and you are set at peace.
sadie, she's at peace.
"i love you too, finn." she smiled, staring at him. he was so perfect. perfect for her.
finn leaned in, locking his lips against hers in the moment. sparks flew. it wasn't like any other kids they've ever shared, this one was filled with love, care, and passion.
finn moved to the side so he could face her directly. sadie's hands were placed on finn's face holding him close. the kiss turned into multiple.
though, they both enjoyed this every much, sadie pulled away out of breath. letting finn trail the kiss to her cheek, and then her jaw and then her neck.
"f.. finn?" she breathed heavily.
"mm?" she could feel his lips vibrated against her neck.
"i want you." she said softly. finn jumped back from her neck to see her face, his eyes were filled with shock almost.
"wait, really? are you positive? because- i don't want to hurt you.. or if your not ready i don't want to pressure you into anything— and what if i do hurt you? or scar you for life.. what if-"
"finn, calm down. i trust you, i'm ready. i know you won't hurt me." she cut him off.
"but are you sure?" he asked again, he truly cared about her.
"mhm." she said, closing the space between them again.
they kissed, roughly. finn wasn't exactly sure about how he felt about this. he wanted to make her feel good, of course. but was their relationship ready for this big step? we're they even mature enough? sadie's only 16, and he doesn't want to pressure her or anything like that. though she says it's alright, he still worries.
he pulled away from her slowly, letting the kisses linger.
"can we wait, maybe? if that's okay?" he asked. he wanted to take things slowly with her. and this feels like he's rushing into things. maybe he was just over thinking.
sadie nodded, in agreement. maybe he was right. maybe she wasn't ready.
"yeah.. i'm sorry." she worried.
"don't apologize, love." he leaned it to place a light kiss on her forehead. with a smile on his face. he felt like he could trust her with the world.
they went back to watching their 80s movie that they missed a lot of, but either of them cared. sadie felt slightly embarrassed at her actions, her words. she's blunt, she always has been but that was very bond of her. for anyone really.
she knows he loves her, she doesn't even rethink it. it was very reassuring to her, actually. someone cares about her in a romantic way, and that means a lot to her. she's been treated badly in the past. by lovers, by her friends. and even her family. finn was proof to her that the world wasn't out to get her. there was good in the world, happiness. she happen to find her happiness in a very unexpected place. a mental hospital.
