millie sat on her window still, knees pressed against her chest with her head laid back against the wall tiredly.
she exhaled some smoke from her mouth lazily as she stares out at the moon, reliving her memories. where things were easier, so much easier....
"i give up!" a 12 year old millie shouts, "where are you!? finn, i can't find you anywhere." she huffs dramatically
"you're too cold!" she hears him shout
"where are you!? i hate hide and seek with you!" she scoffs
"mills, you're almost there." he chuckles at her annoyance
the cigarette placed between her fingers has been burning for almost an hour and it was already her second one of the night.
obviously she knew smoking was bad but it was also a habit of hers she couldn't get rid of. it helped with her anxiety at the start but now it's just a addiction.
she looked over to her clock.
3am it read.
she sighs, finally standing up for the first time in hours to walk over to her bed to attempt to sleep.
no matter what, she had to try, the first day of filming was tomorrow and she definitely needed sleep.

on the other side of town, finn was lying on his bed awake.
his mind was stuck on that one night years ago.
that one night where millie drunk dialled him for the very last time.
"hello?" finn spoke into the phone
millie just laughed on the other side of the line, "t-that's it? h-hello?"
"mills?" he whispers
"d-don't mills me! w-why did you not a-answer my texts? m-my calls? y-you didn't f-fight for us either! just b-because i can't doesn't m-mean you c-cant either!" she slurred
"mi-"
"d-did i mean nothing to you? e-even i tried to fight a-and you know that's h-hard. a-and now you have a fucking g-girlfriend!? w-was i nothing!?"
"stella." he states
"don't you dare stella me. y-you obviously didn't love me. you lied to me!" she sobs
"no, millie." he sighs
"w-we are actually done. it is o-over. finn wolfhard, y-you are a dick." she hangs up
finn sighs, putting a hand over his face, "i never had a girlfriend, mills... but you'll never know that. at least not yet."
