It was about 10 o'clock and I was still blankly staring at the ceiling. I can't ignore it anymore all of this is stressing me the fuck out. What the hell are we gonna do. What are we even allowed to do. And how was this affecting Finn. He's talked about going through phases of depression before. What if this is just throwing him off. Would I be able to help him? Thoughts of Finn consumed me. His friends tease us all the time and he kinda just plays along. Does he think of me as his girlfriend? I smiled at the thought of the curly freckled boy upstairs being my boyfriend. We don't have to put labels on it. I have a boyfriend. Finns my boyfriend. No. I could just ask him out... I mean we did kinda kiss and all that.

I opened the door and stepped outside. Immediately my eyes were drawn to the beautiful black abyss holding millions of stars above me as I walked. I decided it would be a good idea to go grab some things sense I'm staying over. Including more sweaters so I don't freeze my ass off and continue to be embarrassed by Finn.

When I arrived I opened the window that leads to the living room and popped the screen. We should really get around to installing a security system. Quietly I walked upstairs two steps at a time trying not to make any noise. I grabbed my toothbrush as well as my face wash from the bathroom. I then proceeded to get a change of clothes and shoved it into an old corduroy backpack. As I turned to grab my brush off my dresser I felt something graze against my leg. Resulting in me falling on the floor with a loud thud. "Fuck." I whispered. Its my cat. "Honey what was that?" Welp my dads awake. "Shh its probably just the cat falling off a table or smnt" Thank god we don't have a dog.

I started to get really drowsy on the walk home resulting in my vision blurring. My phone vibrated from my jean pocket making me jump. He caught me. An uninvited smile crept onto my face "hello?" His voice was raspy. "Sadie where the hell are you?" I brushed the hair out of my eyes and looked around. "Davy street. I just went to my house to grab a few things. I'll be back in a sec." I noticed him sigh. "Ok Sadie, love you bye." My heart exploded. "Bye." My finger hit the end button so fast I almost dropped my phone.

A few seconds went by as I stood there waiting for my eyes to adjust. I squinted and stepped closer extremely confused. It looked like Slenderman was sitting on the fucking steps. "Why do you look so confused miss?" His voice startled me and sent a pang of excitement. "Why aren't you sleeping Finnley?" He grabbed my hand and pulled me down next to him. We sat there for a while comfortably numb listening to the wind and distant cars. I never wanted him to let me go. "Wouldn't it be a trip if we adopted Kenzie?" I chuckled "Yeah she sure is a special kid but do you know how much responsibility that is. I know you love her I do too-" Finn interrupted me. "We have to do something. It wouldn't be the worst thing you and me. We could do it." That's it. That's the hardest he's ever made me blush. Now I was drowning in the most lovely dark brown eyes. He then looked down and pulled something out of his pocket. It was a small golden ring with an emerald in the middle. He remembered my birthstone. He slid the ring onto my finger and took a moment to admire it. My insides were going crazy and I could barely breathe. "Is this your way of making it official?" I exhaled and watched him smirk. "I'm turning 18 in three months. I wanna do it. I wanna adopt her. I'll talk to my parents about it and we don't have to say anything to Kenzie about it until its all planned." He's so sweet. This is the guy I get to call mine. I ran my hand through his hair and he put his arm around my waist. Our lips connected making me feel safe. His lips were soft and his face was warm. All I remember after that was Finn making me laugh till my vision disappeared. I'll do whatever he wanted me to.
