I will be there for you even if we may seek a separate light.

Millie woke up warm.
She lifted her head, feeling whatever she was lying on shift underneath her. She yawned and her eyes landed on Finn, her lips turning up into a tiny smile. He looked peaceful while he slept, his hair sprawled across the pillow under his head and his mouth ever so slightly open.
Millie moved up a bit, kissing his slightly chapped lips softly and then pulling back. His mouth closed and his eyebrows furrowed as he moved a little, his arm that was on Millie's back pulling her towards him some more.
"Finn," Millie said quietly. He stopped moving and was seemingly back asleep completely, making Millie sigh. She looked to the clock on the bedside table, seeing that she had thirty more minutes until she actually had to wake up.
She moved out from under Finn's arm slowly so she wouldn't wake him up before silently sliding off the bed. She picked his shirt up off the floor and threw it on before grabbing her own shorts. She made her way out of the room and into the living room where her phone was on the coffee table next to Finn's. She scooped it up and sighed when she saw how many new messages she had.
"It's been going off all morning."
Millie jumped, letting out a scream at the sight of Grace at the entrance to the living room. Her hand went to her chest and she leaned down, her heart beating fast.
"What happened, are you guys okay?" Finn came down the stairs in only his boxers, his hair was unruly and his face was full of worry.
Grace smiled and raised her eyebrows, "Even if we were in trouble, what would you be able to do boxer boy?"
"Defend you, duh," Finn rolled his eyes before turning to walk back upstairs.
Millie sighed and watched him go before looking back to her phone. She unlocked it and opened the messages, her face going to one of worry immediately. She had a ton of reminders from her parents, but two texts stood out to her among those.
Jacob: Why have you been ignoring me?
Millie sighed and read the next.
Jacob: We need to meet.
Millie's eyebrows furrowed and she replied back quickly.
Millie: We don't. I told you we're done and I meant it.
The reply back was fast and Millie's jaw clenched as she read it.
Jacob: Are you forgetting what I have? What I'm capable of? Meet me at the apartment tonight.
"Something wrong?" Grace asked.
Millie looked up from her phone and saw that Grace was still leaning against the doorframe.
"No, just my manager bugging," Millie lied easily.
Grace nodded and turned to leave, but Millie spoke before she could.
"Hey Grace?"
Grace turned and looked at her, waiting for her to continue.
"About the whole Sadie thing," Millie started but Grace wouldn't let her finish.
"Save it please," Grace said with a disappointed smile. She sighed and walked out of the room then, not looking back at Millie.
Millie looked down to her phone and read over the message from Jacob again. She just wanted to ignore it but she couldn't, too much was on the line.
