We laid down on his blue mattress and I traced the word 'stay' on his bare chest over and over again for a while. His eyes were closed and he had a smile on his face as he whispered "I'm not leaving" I stopped. "Goodnight" I whispered and closed my eyes as Finn wrapped his arms around me. And the sentence 'I'm not leaving' repeated in my head as I drifted to sleep. Finn Wolfhard and I weren't always close. He was the king of high school. I was the rebel. It just so happens that I fell in love with him and he fell in love with me. But even though he wanted to love me, he told his self not to. So he left our story broken. A painful love story that is my life. You'll fall in love with this story! It's the perfect mix of angst and romance. It's both painful and happy. It'll leave you wanting more and more.
