"So..."
"Yeah..."
"I guess this is it."
It had been three months since Stranger Things season Five wrapped and it had been time to say goodbye to the set for the last time. They all still lived close together but that was all about to change. Millie had a new role. She had to go to India for it. For two years. "I'm gonna miss you." She looked up into Finn's eyes, wondering once again about what could have been had she had the courage to ask him out. Sure, they'd kissed quite a lot. But that was Mike and Eleven kissing, not Millie and Finn. Over the past six years he'd watched her grow from a hyperactive 11 year old girl into a confident 17 year old. And he couldn't be more proud of the girl he wanted to call his. Because without her knowing it, he was thinking about the same thing. Wondering what would happen had he had the courage to just kiss her. Off set. No cameras. Just them. Six years of friendship, four of which were also filled with a different love. And now it was time to say goodbye. They stood in silence for a while until mrs. Brown honked, signaling that Millie had to get in. "Goodbye." She whispered, turning away. "Goodbye." He replied as she got in the car. She put in her earbuds, putting her playlist on shuffle.

"Goodbye my almost lover
Goodbye my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be
So long my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do."
