The thought of putting trust into someone scared you. Loving someone.. them loving you. You had been hurt too many times before.
You put walls up, you didn't speak to many people and closed yourself off from interaction.
That was until you auditioned for Stranger Things. You always told yourself not to trust, don't love because they won't love you back. You met a girl and you just couldn't help it. You were falling and you just hoped she would be there to catch you.
Her name is Millie. sweet, funny and just overall kindhearted. She knew the second she met you that you had walls up higher than most, that you shut yourself out. It wasn't an easy thing to see in a person without them talking but she knew.
You were the same age as Finn. 14 about to be 15 so you were a little older than some of the cast, you were young but that doesn't mean that you hadn't been through a lot in your life.

You walked onto set, saying hello to people or just giving a smile on the way in. It was the most you could do when you only ever talk to the cast when you're filming.
"Hey Y/N" you heard Millie's voice.
"Hey"
"We have a scene they just put in together, we need to practice" she grabbed my hand.
You nodded and you walked into her dressing room and went over it all but it was kinda confusing.
"Why do you close yourself off" Millie asked out of the blue.
"What?"
"You heard me.. why?"
"It's easier than talking to people" you gave a simple answer hoping it would suffice.
"Okay but what do you close off, why don't you trust"
"Because I've been hurt too much" you mumbled
She grabbed your hand and rubbed her thumb over it.
"Who hurt you?"
You started to tear up, all the memories you locked up, tried to forget. The all came flooding back. You felt some pull your shoulder forward and you ended up being hugged. You hadn't been hugged in a long time.
You started to spill everything, feeling like you could trust Millie. By the end she looked in shock.
"But you're so young, you don't deserve any of this" she was still holding you.
You forced yourself to hug her back, wrapping your arms around her and snuggling in kind off. It felt good but you had let your walls down. You could be hurt now.
"I'm not going to hurt you, I promise you I will never. Put your trust in me, I won't fail you"
It was like she had read your mind. You smiled, the first real one in years. You hugged her like your life depended on it.
"I'll give you my love and trust If in return you give me your love and trust" She said.
You weren't expecting anything like this. She was straight.. you were sure of it.
"Okay.. But please don't hurt me"
You never put yourself in vulnerable positions but with her you felt safe. And you hoped the feeling was mutual.
"I promise"
She placed a light kiss on your shoulder, you doing the same in return.
"Come on, let's go get you cleaned up before we need to film"
