Millies POV
I tried to calm Sadie down telling her I'll come first thing in morning , but she wouldn't calm down and started having a tantrum throwing herself on the floor kicking and screaming. I thought it was adorable but I don't think Winona did . I looked to Winona and asked

"cant she just have 20 more minutes"

"what do you think she will she will do when those 20 minutes are up , exactly what she's doing now" She said as I looked back down at her still kicking and screaming

"hey look at me . She said sternly staring me right in the eyes

"you never give in to Sadie when she's worked up or having an episode got it"

"Yes but why"

"Because I have built her an environment where she will not and can not get away with anything when she acts like this like she used to" she mumbled that last part . Getting up walking to Sadie going down on the floor and sitting her up while she screamed trying to resist her hold
" watch and learn , Now there are a lot of things you will learn about Sadie while being her girlfriend which I presume you are " I nodded my head shyly blushing. At this point I think it's ok to call Sadie my girlfriend . Sadie was still trying to resist Winona's grip .
" number one you always grab her hands to move her when she's having a tantrum never her waist"

"why-"

"just don't , number 2 you make eye contact and speak calming notifying her what's going to happen and what's not going to happen . Winona said turned to Sadie making clear eye contact holding her still while she was screaming "Sadie" she said in a calm soothing voice but Sadie didn't reply sitting screaming. "Sadie hears what's going to happe-"

"piss off" she yelled in Winona's face "and Number 3 you never scream at her stay calm no matter how worked up you are"

" why"

"Sadie is too damaged and screaming will quickly turn into uncontrollable crying mixed with fear , anger , and memories . Sadie sweetie Millie is going to go home and will come see you tomorrow and we are going to get you to your lesson do you
understand she said very calmly but stern at the same time .
All of a sudden Sadie stopped screaming and looked up at Winona "see" she said . I was about to respond but was cut off by Sadie sobbing. Winona was shocked because Sadie was hugging her by the neck while doing so .
So this is when you give in right "I said concerned

"s-she's never done this before"

"she's never broken down before?"

"she has but not like this she said hugging Sadie back"

"Sadie hon- she was cut off by her whispering through sobbing but I couldn't understand .
Winona's face filled with so much guilt . I felt like I wanted to cry watching Sadie cry like that . I walked over and took Sadie in my arms letting her sob on me . Winona got up and walked to the door

"I thought you said don't give in"

"this is different she's not having a tantrum she's being sincere , she's finally letting her guard down" she smiled . I gave her a confused look and stayed quiet as Sadie sobbed on me . Her sobs eventually turned into soft snores . I noticed blankets and pillows on a shelf I slowly laid her on the floor and grabbed the blankets spreading them on the floor and pillows I moved Sadie on top of the blankets then covered her up with one and put a pillow under her head as I got up to leave she grabbed my hand and ask me to stay with her . I said sure because I didn't really have any thing to do today and I wanted to be with her . I took my shoes off and slid under the blankets with her . She moved closer to me while rubbing her eyes and wrapped her arms around me I did the same as she put her head on my chest . I soon drifted off to sleep with her on top of me feeling her warmth caress my skin .
