Touch Starved

SADIE'S POV:

It's currently 8:45am. I just woke up 10 minutes ago. In Finn's arms. It was a nice feeling you know, being his. I know I'm not but, I kind of feel like I am which is, close enough. I'm now in the kitchen, making myself a coffee. Even though I despise of coffee I guess I just need some caffeine in my system. I scroll through my Instagram feed, as boring as everyone is, keeps me distracted from.

"Mum."

I quickly click off Instagram and message my dad, to then see he's already messaged me.

"Hello Sadie, there hasn't been any knew news on you mothers where abouts yet. They are still searching though.

Dad x."

"Well that's better than nothing I guess." I mumble.

I just reply with a simple, okay before turning my phone off. I pour the hot water in my mug of instant coffee, the scent of caffeine filling my nose. i stir the granules in, pouring milk into my coffee and making my way over to the kitchen table. No one else is awake, or home, I think. Maybe work? I don't really know.

"Morning." Finn yawns.

I jump at the sudden noise. I look over at him. His curls all messy and his eyes tired. I smile at him as he makes his way over to the sink, grabbing a glass of water.

"Sleep well?" He asks filling his glass up.

"Mhm," I answer, taking a sip of my coffee.

"Good because I didn't let you drool on my chest for nothing." He laughs.

"Fuck sake."

"Did I actually?" I giggle.

"Yup."

I turn my head, taking another small sip of my coffee. It goes silent for a few seconds before Finn walks over and switches on the TV.

"So, what's on today's schedule?" he asks, walking over to the couch.

I spin around on my chair to face the TV.

"I don't mind Finnie, up to you." I say softly.

"Finnie?" he asks confused.

"Y- yes...?"

"You haven't called me that in months!" He chuckles.

"Well, surprise!"

I wander over to the couch, sitting beside him as I scroll through my phone. I swing my legs over Finn's lap as we watch some boring news channel. I place my phone, screen down on the coffee table in front of us.

"This is soooo boring!" Finn groans.

I laugh at his complaining before snatching the remote off of him, panning through the channels.

"It's all old people channels!" He says, scratching his head.

"Hey, no it's just," I try to make an excuse, but I honestly don't even like this either.

"Let's just put Netflix on." He grabs the remote back off me, switching on Netflix.

I lift up my phone off of the coffee table.

"Caleb?" I whisper.

"Huh?" Finn asks, eyes locked on the TV screen in front of him.

"C- Caleb messaged that's all." I nervously chuckle to try make me come across as less confused.

"What the fuck!?" Finn yells, grabbing my phone off me.

"No Finn its noth-"

"Sadie he's asking where you are!" Finn shouts.

"Finn can you calm down!" I snap.

"Sadie I'm not letting him trace you down!"

"He's not going too!" I shout.

"But what if he do-"

Finn's cut off by a knock at the front door, we both lock eyes before I stand up and walk over.

"Sadie just leave it." Finn turns his head to look at me.

"It's probably just mail or something." I shrug.

I wrap my hand around the handle, twisting it and opening the front door.

"Hey sorry Eric's not hom-"

"I'm not here for Eric."

I look up and make eye contact with.

"Caleb?" I'm taken back as he stands over me.

"What the fuck are you doing here!" He shouts in my face.

"I- I just-"

"Leave." I turn around to see Finn walking towards the front door.

"Oh look, you have your little body-guard protecting you!" Caleb rolls his eyes.

"Why are you even here?" Finn questions, stepping the slightest bit in front of me.

"For that skank!" Caleb points at me.

"Oi!" Finn jumps forward, grabbing the neck of Caleb's shirt.

"You watch it man." Finn hisses.

"Finn just get off hi-"

"No Sadie, let's see what your little boyfriend is going to do!" Caleb yells.

I stand in between the two, what a dumb idea that was. I try to get them to step apart, but nothing seems to work. They're like almost a foot taller and a much bigger build then me. Finn finally let's go of Caleb's shirt. I take a small sigh of relief as I take a step away from the boys. But before I could even walk inside.

"Finn!" I yell.

Finn punches Caleb straight in the face. Like directly in the middle. Probably breaking his nose. Caleb chuckles before left-hooking Finn in his cheek.

"Stop!" I scream.

Caleb takes another punch into Finn's stomach, basically winding him. I step in front of Caleb.

"Stop this now!" I yell directly in his face.

He stands in front of me, puffing air in and out.

"Tell your little boyfriend to watch out." Caleb says in a stern tone.

"Or what? What the fuck is going to be your next little plan!" I snap.

Caleb takes a step closer to me, leaning his face to my ear.

"I've put him in hospital once, I'll happily do it again." He whispers.

"What the fu-"Finn wraps his arm around my stomach, bringing us both inside and shutting the front door.

He takes his arm off from around me, a small slice, under his right eye, trickling with blood. We both stand face to face. Before I could speak, he crashes his lips into mine. My eyes widen with shock as he slowly pulls away.

"Sorry I shouldn't have done that." He takes a step back.

I stand there. Shocked. I'm not mad that he did that. God no, it's just. It's been so long.

"It's okay." I smile, stepping forward and planting a small peck on his lips.

"I didn't mind." I smile, walking past him.

As I walk back into the kitchen, the biggest, goofiest grin fills my face as I clench my fists with happiness.

"You did it Sadie!"
