Millie's pov

It was Thursday today, and we are going to a party tonight. Parties don't really effect me that much, I don't love them, but I don't hate them. I'll go to them if I get offered, but I'm not crazy about them. I was sitting in language class, daydreaming, until the teacher started to talk to me.

"Millie, how about you share what you wrote for our daily journal logs." He said, and I shared it, and he nodded at me. I put it away, and got out my drawing and writing notebook. I start to draw a flower, what I usually draw. All of my flowers are basically the same, but I think they are really good. I start working on another one, and Finn catches my attention by kicking my foot. I look up at him and he raised one of his eyebrows. I raised both of mine at him, and he smiled. I love his smile, it makes me warm inside. Wait, what am I thinking?? I don't like him...do I? Well it doesn't matter, he doesn't like me.

"What are you drawing?" He asked me, still messing with my foot. I felt butterflies in my stomach from his touch, even though it's just him messing with my foot.

"A flower." I said, smiling at him.

"Can I see?" He asked, after he already took my journal. Oh no, my writing is in it. He can't see my writing. It's about Jacob. What he did, how I used to like him..everything about me is in that journal. My heartbeat started to quicken, as he was looking at it. I saw him start to flip back a couple pages, and I took it back.

"You can't read what I write." I said, and he looked curious.

"Why not?" He said, raising an eyebrow, which made me smile.

"Because I don't want you to." I said, and he smiled. He didn't say anything back, because the teacher told us to be quiet.

The day dragged on, like usual, when it was time for the party.

"Guys!! I found something to wear!!" Sadie said, as we all sat in her room. She came out with white ripples jeans and a light blue shirt, which was cropped.

"You look so cute Sadie!!" Grace said, and we nodded.

"Millie, you're the only one without an outfit. Come on!!!" Maddie said, pulling me into her closet with her. She was going through her clothes, when she found something and gave it to me. I put them on, and it was a black skirt, with a grey tank top, along with a maroon colored cardigan to go over it. The shirt was pretty short, it stopped at my mid thigh, but whatever. I came out, and all of their jaws dropped.

"Oh my gosh Millie, you look amazing!!" Sadie said, and I smiled. I didn't reply, because everyone was already on their way downstairs. We all did our makeup too, and I let Sadie do mine, because she wanted to. She put a lot of makeup on, and I felt like my whole face was just covered in it. Oh well, maybe I need to try something new. We got into the car, and Sadie drove us there. After about 10 minutes, we got there, and it was already packed. We walked in, and almost immediately, Sadie was gone, and so were the rest of the girls.

"Millie?" Someone asked me. I tuned to my left, to find him looking at me. I smiled, and he lead me to a more quiet place.

"What Finn?" I asked him, as he leaned back against the wall.

"Sorry, just didn't know it was you, with all that makeup on your face." He said, and I rolled my eyes.

"I can wear makeup, you know." I said, leaning against the wall across from him. I watched him as he looked at my outfit, up and down.

"You look nice." He said, and I felt my cheeks heat up.

"Thank you." I said, crossing my arms. He walked away and went into the kitchen, and I followed him. It was a little louder in here than it was out there, but I didn't mind.

"Why do you come to parties, if you don't dance or drink or anything?" He asked me, turning to me.

"I don't know. I can drink, you know. And I can dance, too." I said, looking up at him, because he was only a foot away from me by now.

"Show me, then." He whispered to me, which made my stomach explode. He gives me the best feeling, even when he's not doing anything.

"Challenge accepted." I said, and I took a cup and put some of whatever the drink I took into it. I took a drink of it, and raised my eyebrows at him. We talked for a little, and by then, I finished my drink. I got up, and I took his hand.

"What are you doing?" He asked me, smiling down at me.

"It's time to dance." I said, and pulled him into the living room. We got into a good place, and we danced for a little bit. I turned around so my back was against his chest, and I felt him grab my waist. He started to move his hands up higher as we danced, and I laughed. After a while, I grabbed his hands and turned around to him. I set them on my waist, and looked back up to him.

"See, I can dance." I said, grinning at him.

"Yes, yes you can." Finn said, smirking at me.

Finns pov

"So, why aren't you hanging out with your other friends?" Millie asked me, as were were in the kitchen again. I think she was drunk. She drank, a lot. I didn't pressure her to, I just asked why she didn't drink. Maybe that was a mistake. It looks like she's having a good time, so I'm not gonna doubt myself yet.

"Because I want to hang out with you." I said, and she looked up and me and smiled at me. Her smile makes me smile. She's so pretty, and nice, and- I've never felt this way before, about a girl. Millie.. she's something different. I don't think she feels the same about me, so I don't bring it up, because it could ruin the friendship that we have. It's just...sometimes I feel like she's hiding things from me. Like her arms, she always covers them, and she won't let me see them. I get frustrated about that kind of thing, I just want her to tell me what's wrong. But it's her decision, not mine.

"T-tomorrow w-we ha-ave sc-hool, we might w-wanna leeaavvveee." She said, slurring and stuttering her words. I laughed a little bit.

"Okay, I can take you home." I said, and she nodded, taking my hand, her warm touch against my hand. I took her to my car, and I opened the door for her, then go to my side. She hasn't gotten in yet, and I realize I still have Gatens ropes that he needed that I haven't given him yet, something about his barn in the back of his house. I found them in my attic, and told him that I would give them to him.

"Oh, sorry Millie." I said, and putting them back in the backseat. She sat down, and looked into my eyes, and all I saw was fear. She started to cry, and I was really confused.

"Millie, what's wrong?" I asked her, reaching to grab her hand, but she slaps it away.

"Put the ropes away, Jacob!! Put them away, please!!" She yelled at me, still crying. She backed up as far as she could against the inside of the car, away from me. Who's Jacob??

"Millie" I got out before she cut me off.

"Leave me alone, please!! I don't like when you do this!!!" She said, still crying, sounding like she was begging. She opened the car and got out, and started to walk away. I got out of the car and ran up to her. I grabbed her arms, and making sure she can't get out of my grasp this time.

"Don't hurt me!! Stop!! Don't do it again!!" She said, tears still going down her face.

"Millie, it's not Jacob. It's me, Finn." I said, trying to assure her.

"Finn..." She said, stopping the urge to get out of my grasp, and calmed down a bit.

"Yeah, it's me. I won't hurt you." I said, putting my hands on her face, wiping away her tears with my thumbs.

"Promise?" She asked me, looking up at me.

"Promise." I said, and pulled her into a hug.

Who is this Jacob?? Better read the next chapter to find out, I think. Goodnight!!
