New chapter, I suggest listening to the song above but I can't force you to anything.

Millie's POV

I got pushed down onto my bed, listening to our breathing, getting nervous. I felt fingers trace down my neck, to my arms, to my legs. I felt kisses on the side of my neck, breathing heavy.

"Do you want me to stop?" Finn said, kissing behind my ear, my breathing getting heavier.

"No, please." I said, my eyes closed. I can feel his body touching mine, his hands gentle on my arms. I feel warm and safe.

"Shit," I said as my eyes opened, realizing it was a dream. Why the hell am I dreaming about Finn Wolfhard?

Should I call Sadie and tell her? I need to tell someone.

I roll over and grab my phone, seeing the time is 10:30. I had a good nights sleep. The first in a while. I ended up calling Sadie and telling her everything in my dream.

"Millie, this is definitely a sign. You like him!!!" She said, and I rolled my eyes. I don't like him. Sadie's all about conspiracy theories and shit. She thinks dreams are a connection to your real life.

"I don't like him Sadie. It might've just been what happened last night," I said, completely regretting saying something about it. Sadie's about to get a load of this.

"What happened last night Millie????!!!!" She screamed excitedly. She always wants the gossip. I ended up telling her what we said and talked about.

"Oh my god that is cute Millie. I swear you guys need to talk and open up so you guys can date! I can already see it now. Awwwww," Sadie said, and I rolled my eyes.

"Sadie, don't get ahead of yourself. I don't like him like that." I said, and she said whatever.

"Well he's kind of perfect for you. He has that mystery in him. Honestly he might actually be a psychopath though. Have you ever seen him stare at you? He's done it to me and it's so creepy." She said, and we laughed.

"I really hope he's not. That would be bad," I said. I ended up getting up and washing my face and everything while talking to her, I had nothing better to do. I look down at my arms for a second but quickly glance up back at my face.

"Okay Sadie I'm gonna go but if you want to hang out soon you should text me. Maybe a girls night or something." I said, and she got excited.

"Oh my gosh Millie that's a good idea. I'm texting them right now!!" She said, and I laughed and said bye.

I got ready. I don't wear shortsleeves, I will not look at my arms. I refuse to. I just put a shortsleeve on anyway but put on a hoodie so I don't have to wear a longsleeve, then I put a pair of leggings on. It hasn't snowed yet, even though it's winter break. It's really weird.

I was sitting on the couch with Ava. She was on tiktok and I was just watching tv. Sadie hasn't texted me yet, so I don't know the plan. I don't usually go on my phone anyway. My mom was upstairs, doing god knows what.

I heard the doorbell ring, and Ava was too busy on her phone and my mom didn't hear it, so I went up and opened the door.

Why is finn standing in my driveway? With flowers?

I widened my eyes and turned to see Ava distracted, so I pushed Finn a little farther out on the porch and stepped outside, closing the front door if Ava or my mother saw me.

"Finn? What are you doing here? With flowers?" I asked, anxiously. He furrowed his eyebrows.

"Um..your text?" He said, and I furrowed my eyebrows.

"I never texted you." I stated, and Finn got out his phone to read the text to me.

"Texts from Millie:
I like flowers - 3:28 a.m.
Come pick me up tomorrow and take me somewhere- 3:32 a.m." he said, looking back up at me from his phone and showed me the messages.

First I have a dream about him, then I sleep text him? Jesus, I need to lock my phone away at night.

"I sleep text sometimes. I'm sorry, I sleeping texted you." I said, and it looked as if he was a little disappointed. He shrugged and said sorry.

"I'll leave, I'm sorry this is weird-

"Don't leave. We can go somewhere." I said, grabbing his wrist. He looked at my hand on his wrist, then back up at me with his dark eyes. God, he looks like he's ready to kidnap me and keep me. I think it's just his eyes.

"Okay. Where would you want to go?" He asked, and I thought.

"Let's go down to the metropark. We can walk around." I said, and he nodded. He handed the flowers to me. I smiled, and looked at them. They were white roses. Unique. Just like Finn.

"You really didn't have to get me flowers," I said, chuckling. He smiled, and shrugged.

"I thought I might as well, considering you like flowers so much at 3 in the morning," he said, and I laughed.

"I'll meet you in your car, I have to let my mom know I'm leaving and put these flowers somewhere." I said, and he nodded and went to his car.

I walked inside and set the flowers in a vase, then told my mom I was leaving. Ava also asked where I was going, and I told her to the metroparks. She doesn't like going there, it's "too much work".

I got into Finns car, and we drove to the metroparks and made small talk.

—

As soon as we got there, it started snowing. That's annoying. It was only light snow, so we decided to walk a bit. But a few minutes later it started getting really bad. So we both made a run for it and got into his car, laughing. The snow was already piling up on his windshield.

"What do we do now?" I asked, and he shrugged. He looked over to me, his eyes meeting mine. We didn't look away, it was like I was frozen. Like he trapped me in those dark eyes.

He cleared his throat and looked away from me after a while, and I zoned out of it too.

"Well we can just stay here and talk if you want, or we can watch a movie and prop it up, or I can drop you off. Many options." He said, and I nodded. He's very intimidating. Not just his looks, the way he talks too. I like him like that.

But all I can see right now is him on top of me in my bed kissing my neck.

But that didn't happen! It didn't happen. So I need to stop thinking about it. This stupid dream is trying to make me develop feelings for someone I don't even want feelings for. I just want to talk to him.

"Mills? You there?" He asked, and realized I was zoned out again.

"Sorry, yeah," I said, repositioning myself in the car.

"Does that happen often? Zoning out?" He asked, and I nodded.

"I just start to overthink, you know." I said, looking down to my covered arms. After a second, I looked back up at him, and he looked down at my arms then back up to me.

"Overthink about what?" He asked, curious. Now is a perfect time to open up to Finn.

"Just my mental health. The way I treat myself. Other people's opinions of me." I said, and he nodded.

"You know you don't have to please everyone. Just be yourself, Millie." He said, and I nodded. If it was only that easy, Finn.

"I get it. I went through it all. Depression, suicidal thoughts, an eating disorder, all of it. Even some other...thoughts. But I was able to get through it. And I know if I can, you can. I will be here every step of the way to help you, if that's what you want." He said, and I nodded.

What other thoughts?

"Thank you Finn, I appreciate it." I said, and I looked up at him and gave him a soft smile, and he returned a smile. I suddenly got the chills, and looked to see the car was completely covered in snow. Finn noticed too.

"Well shit," he said, starting the car to hear it up. He grabbed the snow brush from the backseat and got out of the car to brush off the snow. I stayed in and tried to get warm, and think of the little conversation we just had.

Soon enough Finn jumped back into the car, snow all over his clothes, hair, eyelashes and face. He looked at me, and I laughed. He smiled at my laughing.

"What?" He asked, keeping his smile.

"You're covered in snow," I said, reaching my hand to his cheeks and wiping the snow off of them. Usually peoples body heat melts the snow, but Finn is cold. He's always cold. I'm not surprised it didn't wipe off. As I wiped the snow off of his cheeks, he stared into my eyes. I didn't look into his, too terrified to get stuck in his dark eyes. It really does look like he wants to kidnap me sometimes. But I like them like that.

I ended up giving in, and looking into his eyes. They were staring back into mine, like he can see inside my soul. He broke the eye contact for the first time, and looked all around my face. He's never looked anywhere but my eyes, which is a change. I didn't realize how close we were, until our noses almost touched. I backed up to my seat, and looked at his radio.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to get so close," I said, and I could see him smiling from the side of me.

"It's okay, I like looking at you." He said, and my heart skipped a beat.

Stop Millie. This isn't a dream where you can do whatever you want.

Right on cue, my phone rang. Sadie.

"Hello?" I asked, looking out the window.

"Hey, there's a huge snowstorm going on right now, and it's not safe to drive. Could we do the girls night tomorrow?" She asked.

"Yes, we can. Just text me!" I said, and she said okay and we ended the call.

"The roads are getting bad so we might need to start heading back." I said, and he looked away from me and nodded.

-

We barely made it back, considering how bad the snow had gotten. He pulled into my driveway, and looked at me.

"Thank you Finn, really. Also I'm really sorry for sleep texting you." I said, and he chuckled.

"Any time. I want to get to know you, Millie. And sleep text me any time you want, I'm not doing anything." He said, and I laughed.

"Bye Finn," I said, looking into his eyes which are a death trap. He looked back at me.

"Goodbye Millie," he said, looking me up and down, then unlocking the car doors. I got out and ran inside to get out of the snow, then he drove home.

That was weird as hell.
