Take a Chance (Fillie)

Chapter 2: Concern

Btw I just realized: Millie should be 14 while Finn is 15

"Alright guys, good job. Let's have a lunch break." The director announced. The cast members headed under the tent where there was a table set up. Finn and Millie sat together. 

"So, I haven't seen you since we finished filming season 2 right?" Millie asked. "Yep. That was a month ago already." Finn answered.

Millie smiled. "So how's it been for you since then?" Finn shrugged. "I mean it was okay but it got really boring after some time. I really missed you guys." He said.

"Yeah I do too actually. But hey, who says we won't have a project together again right?" Millie said enthusiastically. "Yeah.." They smiled at each other.

"I really miss filming Stranger Things. Remember that time Caleb kept mixing up his lines?" Finn grinned and they laughed at the memory together. "He said 'we're wasting our mind' instead of 'we're wasting our time' Hahahahaha!" Millie said. She had never laughed this hard in the past month.

They reminisced on their memories of shooting Stranger Things as they ate their lunch together. Of all the cast members, they were the ones who got along the most. 

Lunch break ended and they were back to filming. "Alright so this is the scene where Kevin is a hurry and bumps into Alice. Lights.. Camera.. Action!"

Alice walked with Kathleen in the grassy area of the school. "So how do you plan on doing your Science project?" Kathleen asked casually.

"I might use--" Alice started, but she didn't finished for someone bumped into her and she fell to the ground. She soiled her skirt and her white socks.

"Hey!!!" She yelled at the person who bumped into her. "Douchebag!!" Kathleen helped her stand up and she looked at her soiled outfit.

"Alright cut!! Perfect. Millie and Linda you can take a break. We're shooting Finn's scene." Linda walked away and something in the way she walked made it seem like she was tired of being there. Millie rolled her eyes and took seat somewhere.

; time lapse ;

It was 5:00 pm and Millie was waiting for her mom to pick her up. Just then, Finn stood beside her. "So we were pretty productive today don't you think?" He asked. "Yeah.. can't wait to shoot tomorrow." 

They just stood there in front of the set, as the crew started packing up. Millie cleared her throat. "So who's picking you up?' She asked.

"What- oh yeah my dad will. He's heading here already." He said. "I see." She said. They were just there waiting for their rides. Nobody spoke, but it was not at all awkward. 

Then, Millie's ride came. "Oh there's my mom. Bye Finn." She gave him a small hug and walked toward her car. "Bye Millie." 

Once Millie was out of sight, Finn headed to his car. He was now legally allowed to drive. The only reason he stayed was to make sure Millie got to her car safe. 

; at home ;

"Today was great mom. We shot 5 scenes I think? Very productive." Millie said excitedly as she placed her bag on her desk.

"I'm glad you're enjoying it. How was Finn?" Her mom asked. "Oh yeah Finn was there. He's also a main character apparantly. I haven't seen him in a month so it was great."

"Well that's nice sweetie. Let me just call someone." Her mother smiled at her and turned to leave.

Beep. It was her phone. She checked it to see that she received a message from Finn.

Did you get home already?

She smiled at the screen and typed back.

Yep :)

Good. Well enjoy the rest of your day dear Alice  😂

She laughed at "dear Alice" She turned off her phone and started working on her laptop.

She organized her schedule for the next day. "Okay so in the morning I have a photoshoot for the magazine. Then I have a lunch meeting with my manager. Then the rest of the day is for the shoot."

As she recited her schedule, she realized how hectic her day tomorrow would be. "I don't have a choice do I? Just work work work work work."

That is what she's become. A workaholic. She hasn't stopped hustling since shooting stranger things. She never said no to any job oppurtunity. But she has missed out on quite a few chances in life.

She missed her first high school dance bacause she was busy shooting at that time. On her 13th birthday, she celebrated in the studio where she had a photoshoot.

This was her life; her life was work.
