Bailee

I totally spaced that I was supposed to tell Finn about getting Reese. I got up and looked at my clock. 12:00 a.m. I rolled off the couch and out of Finn's arms.

"Babe, what are you going?" Finn asked in a raspy voice.

"I need to go, unless you want to come with," I told him.

"Where?" he asked.

"Well, I need to go pick up Reese. I told him that I would pick him up from rehab. And i you'd like to come, you can." I offered a small smile, which didn't lighten things.

"I guess I'll go," Finn said while rubbing his eyes.

"Okay. Let's go." I smiled and held my hand out for him to take.

Finn grabbed my hand and stood up. He ruffled his messy hair and started walking out with me. I grabbed my keys off of the kitchen counter before walking out. I got outside and breathed in the fresh air.

"Do you want me to drive?" Finn asked.

"Um, sure." I shrugged and handed him the keys.

We got into the car and started driving to my past.

"Stop shaking me," I groaned.

"We're here babe," Finn told me.

"Ugh, coffee please."

"Already got it." I saw Finn's bright smile when I happily took my frappe from his hands. "You're the best." I kissed him on the nose.

"I know, I know."

"You better go inside and get him," Finn added.

"Alright." I smiled and kissed him.

I took my frappe and got out of the car.

I walked up to the rehab center doors and opened them. When I got inside, I found a lady at the front desk. She had way too much makeup on and I was wondering if she should be in the rehab center for how drunk she looked.

"Hi, may I help you?" she slurred her words a little.

"Yeah, I'm here for Reese," I told her.

"Yeah, he said you'd be here. I'll go get him for you," she added with a dirty look.

"Thanks," I muttered.

She came back within a few minutes with Reese at her side.

He smiled brightly when he saw me and I smiled back.

"BAILEE!" he yelled and smiled, while wrapping his muscular arms around me.

It was odd hugging him, but I was still used to it.

"Should we go?" I asked.

"We should," he repeated.

"Could I have a sip of that?" he asked and pointed to my frappe.

"Sure." I handed it to him as we walked out.

He took a drink and handed it back to me. "Thanks."

"I'll sit in the back with you."

"Okay."

Reese and I got into the car and Finn stared at me through the rear view mirror.

"Umm, Reese this is Finn. Finn this is Reese."

"Hi," Finn said bluntly.

"Hey," Reese replied.

I gave Finn directions to Reese's house and he drove there. When Finn stopped the car I got out along with Reese and we went inside.

"Thanks Bailee."

"Welcome." I smiled as I stood in front of the door.

"I miss you," Reese whined.

"I know." I nodded.

Reese moved in and gave me a hug. I hugged him back, of course.

"I love you," he whispered.

"I love you as well," I whispered back.

He pulled me closer and kissed me hard and passionately. I missed this Reese. I wish he hadn't driven me away, but everything happens for a reason, and I know that I am happy with Finn.

I pushed him away and gave him a dirty look.

"Our last kiss," he said and shrugged.

I nodded and wiped my lips off.

"I love you," he said again, and wrapped my arms around me.

"I love you too too, but I have to go."

"I know."

"Bye Reese."

"Bye."

I walked out the door and went to my car. I held the tears back, but once I got in the car, I lost it my fight. I cried and Finn put his arm around me. This was the first and hopefully last day that I cry about leaving sober Reese.
