Betrayed By Everyone Loved by Four Chapter 42
Milo's P.O.V.
That call from Lila sent me into a panic. Leo ordered Atlas to go with me to get our girl. He and Oliver went to get Caleb and meet us at my house. When Atlas and I found the girls, I wasn't expecting Millie to look so bad. Lila didn't give us a whole lot of details over the phone. All she really said was that they got beat up. Lila doesn't look as bad as our girl does.
We hurriedly got Millie back to my house. She passed out on the way here, but I was fairly certain that she didn't have a concussion. Most of her damage was to her ribs. Millie didn't wake up as Atlas carried her up to my bedroom. He laid her on my bed so that I could inspect her.
"I don't think anything is broken, but I can't say how far the bruising goes or if anything is cracked." I said.
Everyone is standing in my room with me. After I looked Millie over, Atlas tucked her in the blankets before we all walked out. We talked about what to do, and how to convince Millie to go see a doctor. Caleb seemed pretty sure that she wouldn't, but he did say that he thinks they would be allowed to stay the night. At least I could look after her for tonight.
After that was decided Leo left. Something was bothering him. I'm not sure if it's what's going on with Millie right now or if it's what's going on with Holly. Either way, I can't believe he left our girl before she even woke up.
I know that the messages from Holly have us all on edge. She still hasn't messaged me and I hope that it stays that way. Atlas still hasn't said much since we got back. The only one acting normal is Oliver.
My thoughts are being consumed with this Holly shit. It's clearly affecting Atlas the most, and if Leo thinks it isn't getting to him too then he's in denial. Oliver seems pretty confident that things will work out, but not me.
Holly played with all of us. She turned us against each other by lying and manipulating us. Holly told us that she wanted one on one time with us before deciding on being in a relationship with us. That was a lie. Just like everything else out of her mouth. Is Millie like that? Will she start playing us when she gets each of us alone? Will she try to find which one of us is better to her, and then pull our entire friendship apart? What is it that Millie wants?
Now that I'm thinking about it, I don't think we ever asked her. We decided that we wanted her and we presude her. What if Millie turns out to be just like Holly? I've been fooled by a beautiful face before. My heart squeezed at the thought of Millie turning out to be like that evil whore.
Shaking my head I walked back into my bedroom. I didn't want Millie to wake up alone. Little did I know, she was already awake. Her beautiful face light up when she saw me. Those light green eyes sparkled with excitement. She's so stunning that it hurts. I'm not sure I could take it if Millie breaks my heart.
Oliver went to get our girl something for her pain. Atlas had walked into the room to see her. Again, our girl's face light up at the sight of him. It warmed my heart. Unfortunately, Atlas was still acting weird, and Millie was clearly picking up on it.
By the time Oliver had come back with something for Millie to take, she figured out that we were all acting off. She called us out on it but Oliver was quick to give her a vague response. Millie looked up at Atlas and questioned him. Her eyes got bigger as she looked up at him. I could see the war going on behind his eyes. Then he said he needed some air and stormed off. Fucking idiot.
I wanted to offer to go talk to him but Oliver beat me to it. It was probably the better option anyways. I'm not really in the best mood to comfort him. Although, I wish that I wouldn't have been left alone with Millie.
She asked to use my bathroom and I helped her to the door. I nearly melted when she leaned into me. She's clearly looking for comfort, and I feel like the worlds biggest a*****e that I can't give it to her right now. Millie knows that something is bothering me. My girl came out of the bathroom in a rush. She asked about Lila and my heart warmed. Millie is so caring. Is that fake too?
Then she asked if she could have a hoodie to leave in. I know that we are all acting weird to her, but I can't let her go. Not because I can't keep an eye on her, or for her own benefit. No, I need her to stay. I need her to remind me that she isn't like Holly. I need to wrap myself around her until I know she will never leave us.
When Millie opened the door, I shut it. She tried again and again, but I couldn't let her leave. I brought my lips down to her ear and my body buzzed. I kissed the spot under her ear and heard her breath hitch.
"You don't want to know us better? Or is it that you want to talk to us one on one? Figure out which one of us is better than the other?" Why would I ask that?
Millied turned around to face me and I swear I could get lost in those light green eyes.
"What? Talk to you one on one? Figure out which one of you is better?" She asked confused. "What does that even mean? None of you are better than the other. You're all a bunch of dick heads with boundary issues, only one of you is more bossy than the rest." She said and I had to fight down a laugh. I guess that she has a point there, but she really didn't see any of us as better than the other? "And one one one time? Are you trying to ask me if I want one on one time with you guys? Or are you accusing me of wanting that? Because if that's the case you could at least ask me out on a damn date instead of treating me like I did something wrong." She's starting to shout now. "And if that's really what this is about I don't get it. I get alone time with each of you guys sometimes." She said, but does she though? I guess in our classes. "And I thought that we were all going on a date together this weekend." She practically whined out and then huffed. "Look, if you didn't want to date me then you could have just said so. I don't need any of you to date me. If you just want a s*x thing then fine, but you don't have to lie and be mean to me." Don't want to date her? Is that what she thinks? Millie's bottom lip trembled and it broke my heart. "I already got physically beat up today, I don't need to be emotionally beat up too. If you don't like me Milo then just say-"
I couldn't stand it anymore. I couldn't listen to her talk about if I didn't want her. Of course I want her. I need her.
I stopped Millie's rant by pressing my lips to hers. She didn't kiss me back at first and I was growing frustrated. I sucked in her bottom lip and then slid my tongue into her mouth. My girl tastes to f*****g good. Millie finally kissed me back with as much desperation as I felt. She needs me too, needs this too.
When I pulled back I rested my head to hers. "Do not ever think that I don't want a relationship with you Millie. You're mine."
I meant it. Even if the others didn't want her, I do. I'll never give her up. I don't care. Millie is mine. I love her.
"Then why are you all acting so weird?" She asked me in a whisper.
I sighed and pulled away to look at her. "Something happened today. Nothing you need to worry about. I don't think the others want to talk about it yet." I told her. "But don't worry, you did nothing wrong. We all still want you."
"Are you sure? Leo left before I even woke up and Atlas.." She trailed off. "He's never acted like that before."
I ran the pad of my thumb across her cheek.
"I know cupcake. Don't worry. I know they still want you. Leo will be back before you know it, probably ordering all of us to stop touching you and let you rest." I said with a smile. "And Atlas will be back any minute wrapping his arms around you and cuddling with you for the rest of the night." I said.
Millie's face relaxed into a smile. "You really think they will?" She asked.
I nodded. "Even if they don't, I'll be here with you all night." I told her.
Millie nodded. "Not that I don't love being around you, but I hope they do come back." She said.
I smiled. "Being with just me would be that bad huh?" I teased.
Millie giggled. "Of course not. But I would miss the others. Things wouldn't be the same without them right?" She asked surprising me. "Besides, I wouldn't want to come between you guys or anything. If you need to go get them or something, I promise I can wait here." She offered.
My smile grew and I pressed my lips to hers. "No, I'm right where I'm supposed to me."
Millie has no idea how much those words meant to me. She said that things wouldn't be the ssame without the others. I had to agree, they wouldn't. We all belong together. I just hope the others realize it. And Millie said she didn't want to come between us. That meant the world to me. She is nothing like Holly.
This is what I needed. I needed Millie to just be herself to remind me that she's the one for us. She belongs with us. No matter what.
I walked Millie back to my bed. She sat down and I gave her the remote and told her to pick a movie. My girl beamed up at me.
"Are you going to get Oliver and Atlas?" She asked me.
"Do you want me to?" I asked.
Millie shrugged. "Only if they want to." She said.
I smiled. "I'll go get them. Do you want something to eat?" I asked her.
Millie's face light up and I chuckled. Of course she's hungry, she's Millie. The girl can eat an entire house.
"I'm starving actually." She said.
I chuckled and kissed the top of her head. "I'll be right back then." I told her.
I found the guys sitting at my dinning room table. Atlas has his elbows on the table and his head resting in his hands. Oliver is leaning back in the chair next to him.
"I hope you've managed to pull your head out of your a*s." I told Atlas. "Millie has asked about the both of you." I said.
"She has?" Atlas asked.
I nodded. "She said she only wants you to come back if you really want to and understands if you need more space." I told him.
"Our girl is very understanding." Oliver said. "But I miss her already so bye." He said before getting up and leaving the room.
I rummaged around in the kitchen gathering up snacks for my cupcake.
"I don't want Holly." Atlas said.
I didn't bother looking at him. "Not the impression I'm getting." I said.
Atlas sighed. "What Holly did... it hurt really bad. I don't want to go through that again. Looking at Millie.. It's just.. what if she turns out to be that way?" He asked.
I looked at him. "I thought the same thing for most of the day. And then I spent five minutes alone with our girl and she set me straight. I didn't even have to tell her what was going on, and she still managed to put all of my worries to rest. Maybe you should try that." I told him.
Atlas nodded and got up from the table. I watched him disappear around the corner and smiled. All he needs is a few minutes of cuddling with Millie. My phone dinged in my pocket and I rushed to pull it out. That must be Leo.
I was suprised to see that it was not. In fact, it was the last person I wanted to talk to. My hand gripped my phone harder as anger rolled through me. It's Holly.
Hey Milo, I know you're still mad at me but please. Give me another chance. You know you were always my favorite. There's no denying that, I did pick you afterall.
