Finn's phone started ringing
He took it out of his pocket and looked confused
"What, who is it?" I asked
"I-I don't know" he said
"Answer, who knows might be important or something" I suggested squeezing the hand that still laid in mine
He answered
"Hello?" He paused listening to the person on the other side of the line, his confused expression turned into a blank, stiff one. He took his hand away from mine. I heard the the person talking fast and low
"Who is this?" He asked blankly
The person spoke again in a low grumbling voice
"Who is this?!" He yelled, his eyes started welling with tears. His face tensed up then loosened back to the blank expression
My mouth hung open, people started looking towards us as the person's voice on the other line got slower.
He hung up, and stared at nothing tears rolling out of his eyes
"W-what? Who? Was that?" I asked as I went to sit next to him in his booth
"M-my, my parents" he paused and turned his head towards me, his eyes were Lifeless almost grey. I put my hand up to his face wiping away his tears
"What, Finn? What?" I asked starting to feel worried
"They're.. dead" he kept his expression
"What?" I felt tears start to brew in my eyes, Finn parents were like my second parents... yeah they weren't around a lot, but when they were they were always so kind and understanding. I remembered all the memories, they were like flashes in my mind.
I started sobbing as I turned so I was facing forward, the way Finn was now facing as well.
I sat crying my eyes out while finn just sat there, faint. He almost looked empty.
We sat there, until our food came, then kept sitting while our food got cold.
"I'm not hungry" Finn let out his voice slightly cracking
I turned to him
"I'll pay and you can bring it back to your dorm and eat it when you are hungry, okay?" I asked forcing a smile, I felt the layer of dried tears crack on my hot cheeks.
I didn't get a response, I went up to the cash register apologized and paid for the uneaten meal
"L-let's go" I put my hand on his shoulder then grabbed the food that I had bagged up.
He nodded and got out of the booth, we walked out of the diner and got into the car
Where we sat, for a while
"I want to go home" he said in a low tone
"Yea let's go, I'll make some tea and you can sleep in my dorm if you wa-"
"No, real home." He cut me off as he started the car
"I could walk back to school, and you can spend a night at your house if you want" I smiled opening the door of the car
"Wait"
I stopped
"Come with me"
I closed the door and sat back in my seat
"Okay" I said
We drove all the way to Finn's house, he lived on the other side of town, so it was a while.

"If you look through my drawers you can probably find something" I sighed out
She nodded, I felt bad, that she had to be there when I found out, I also hated that she saw me like that so I thought I would try and look strong but I wasn't at all. It took everything I had to not cry in front of her.
"I'm gonna go get some water" I said blankly
I walked out of my childhood room and into the hall, i looked towards the kitchen then, I looked at the door. The door that I would run into if I had a bad nightmare, or wanted to have a movie night or just wanted to hear a story. My stomach flopped as I started walking towards the door
I turned the knob and pushed the door open, it was the same, exactly the same. I smiled and walked over the the king sized bed. I fell onto it and took in the smell, the smell of my dead parents, god how I miss that damn smell. They might have been dead but their smell was very much alive.
I laid there and started crying, the hardest I've ever cried.
"Why did you fucking leave me!" I yelled into a pillow
I sobbed and choked on my own tears
"Finn?" I heard Millie's voice, I didn't turn around because I didn't want her to see me like this, I just kept my face burrowed in my pillow trying to silence my non stop cries.
I heard her walk towards the bed and get on it
"Millie, go away" I said hesitantly, I wanted her to stay, I wanted to wrap my arms around her, but I didn't want her to see me in this state
"You really want me to leave?" She asked
I wanted to say no, so bad
"Ye-"
"Well I'm staying, weather you like it or not, because you need someone right now. And I'm gonna be that someone for you, just like you would be for me" she said as she walked over to the other side of the bed so she could see my face
She had changed into sweatpants and an old shirt of mine. I didn't say anything, I just lifted my arm up inviting her to lay down next to me
She got on to the bed again and laid her head right under my chin.
the smell of my parents and my childhood faded away and was replaced with her sweet and safe sent
And I've known ever since then, she was the one I would spend my life with.
