"honey, why are you still in bed? don't you have work today?" kelly walks into millie's room
"huh? what time is it?" millie sits up tiredly
"it's 9." kelly says softly
"s-shit! shit!" millie hurries out of bed
"honey, why do you look so tired? have you been getting enough sleep?" kelly asks
"y-yeah about 2-3 hours a night. just enough." millie mumbles
"that's not enough, you-"
"mom, i'm late. stop parading me with questions!" millie cuts her off, "i-i'm sorry, i'm tired, i need coffee. please just leave."
kelly nods, "okay. have a good day then." she then walks out
millie quickly puts on some clothes and then brushes her teeth and hair. it only took her about 10 minutes before she made it out the door because she really didn't care about how she looked.
"i'm late. i know." millie says once she arrives on set
"we thought something happened to you." shawn sighs
"i'm not dead yet." she walks past him, "where is everyone?"
"today is only mileven. did you forget?" he asks
"what!? i mean, no... i didn't forget." she lies
"have you been sleeping?" he asks
yes, robert had mentioned the problems millie has dealt with in the past 2 years to shawn and the suffer brothers.
"yeah i have. i'll be fine." she gives him a smile
"okay good but if you're too tired we can-"
"shawn. i'm fine, don't baby me." she mutters, cutting him off
"i know." he smiles
"good because i am good." she nods
that was a lie. she hasn't been good for a while.
"okay. finn and millie, go to your places and we can start!" he shouts
"i wasn't lying yesterday." finn whispers to millie
"i don't care. i wasn't the one ignoring phone calls and texts." she whispers back
"no but-"
"finn. it's over. do you hear me? you made it perfectly clear that i didn't mean anything to you." she whispers
"no millie, i-"
"we're filming now, stop." she whispers harshly as he sighs
—
"millie..." finn knocks on her trailer, "please can we talk for real?"
"f-finn, please. i'm begging you, i don't want to talk, i don't want to associate with you. you hurt me, do you understand?" she says through the door
"millie, i know and i want to make things better between us. at least for our characters." he pleads
he hears her sigh and then opens the door, "it's for mileven, do you hear me?"
he nods quickly, "y-yeah, yes, definitely."
"i need to practice lines and obviously having the actual mike here is better than my imaginary one so do you wanna practice lines with me?" she asks
he nods rapidly, "yes definitely." he smiles quickly, walking into the trailer
millie sits down on the couch, grabbing her scripts as he sits on the chair.
