i woke up to see finn and the rest of the gang around the room. i turn my head to face the other way, telling them i was mad.
i see the gang walk out as shoot me a quick smile, leaving me with finn.
"mills" he says, trying to get my attention
"what" i huff
"why?" his voice breaks
"i think i should be asking you that question" i say, turning my head to face him
"what?"
"why did you save me? i could have gone and be happy, but now I'm stuck here with pain. why couldn't you just let me go" i sob
"because i love you. i love you and i would never let you leave"
"no you don't, you're lying. no one loves me"
"if no one loves you then who am i? who are the rest of the gang? who's ava, your mom? are we ailens, because we fucking love you" he says as i look down
"I'm sorry" i whisper
"no. I'm sorry, i should have been there for you. i should have known" he says as a tear rolls down his cheek
"you were there for me. i did this to myself, I'm the one who has the nightmares. i'm the one who the universe hates, I'm the one who got- who got r-raped. and i'm the one who can't be fixed" i sob
"mills, you can be fixed. you just need to try and i'll be here every second of it" he says as he places a kiss on my cheek
"MILLIE!" i hear ava scream as she runs into the room and i quickly wipe my tears
"hey ava" i say as i ruffle her hair, "wanna come up here" i ask, pointing to the empty spot next to me
"i don't want to hurt you" she frowns
"you won't" i say as she climbs onto the bed
"now my precious baby, care to tell me how in the world did you get to the hospital" i ask, hugging her close
"mum took me" she smiled as i grow shocked
"mum took you?" i raised an eyebrow
"yeah" i hear a woman say from the doorway
"mum?" i breathe out
"yeah, it's me" she smiled, walking over to the bed
"am i dreaming, or is my mum walking towards me" i ask finn as he laughs
"you're not dreaming" he chuckles, "I'll go get the nurse, you guys can talk" he says before walking out
"hey honey, how are you doing" she asks, sitting down on finns seat
"don't honey me. where were you! where were you when i needed you! where were you when ava needed you! where were you when- when my dad-" i cut myself off with heavy breathing
