(most of this book will be in millie's pov)

I woke up. I woke up in the middle of the night from the nightmare that seems to haunt me each night and not leave my side until the sun comes up in the morning. I don't know what time it was but I was used to this happening.

Every night is a routine. I wake up breathing heavily, with my star wars shirt almost sticking to my skin because of my sweat. Tonight, as I always do, I got up and slowly opened my bedroom door being cautious of not waking anyone. I turned my head left and right as if I was about to cross the street and tiptoed to the bathroom, wincing every time the floor would crack. When I got there I looked at myself in the mirror, I admired my eyes that were red from the sleep I haven't been getting.

Usually, I would manage to safely get back to my room without anyone or anything getting in the way. However, this night I found myself holding on to the cabinet, worried that if i'd let go i'd collapse. My vision blurred and went fuzzy, I started getting really dizzy. I couldn't move. I told myself inhale exhale, millie, inhale exhale.

I silently counted 10 seconds. I was holding on for 10 seconds. This never happened but I managed to convince myself it was because of my lack of sleep. My hands carefully unwrapped themselves from the edge of the cabinet and I walked back to my bedroom as if nothing happened.

I didn't end up getting back to sleep because I wouldn't leave all the questions in my head about what happened and my dream unanswered. 

What does my dream mean?

 Why do I constantly get it? 

Why do I never properly remember it? 

Why is the boy that means nothing to me always the protagonist?

Finn Wolfhard.
