- I was running to my mom's house. My vision had been blurry, and I couldn't breathe. "Mom! Mom! Mom!!", I screamed in agony, my chest hurting. "Sweety? Wh-what happened?" She asked innocently. "I did something....terrible" I say, dropping to my knees and covering my mouth. At this point, I was wailing. My mom had no idea what I had done. I killed someone. I actually killed someone. Me, Millie Bobby Brown, your good girl, had gone completely bad. -

I wake up, completely drenched in sweat, and tears coming out of my eyes. I sat up in my bed, wiping my tears, as more and more came rolling down my cheeks.
I miss them. So, so much. I need them.
I quietly cry to myself, making sure not to wake Finn. Tears and tears come and come, and I couldn't stop them. I couldn't handle it anymore. I practically jumped out of bed, not caring who I woke up, and ran.
I ran
I ran
I ran
I ran
Those words echoed and echoed in my head, as I ran to the game room. It was my only place of quiet, and the only place I got to look out the window, and only dream of the possibilities on the other side. I right away straight to the corner, and slid my back down against the wall, and whimpered. I was such a baby. All I did was cry all the time, for something I caused on my own. I got up, wiping some tears, as I went to the window, my favorite place. The sun had just started to rise, making the sky a mixture of purple, pink, and blue.
Pretty.
I imagine myself, waking up in my New York apartment, waking up the the sunrise every morning. It has been my only dream as a child. Living in the Big Apple, the crowded streets, the bright lights. Oh, how much I longed to be there, living my life the way I should be.
I continue to stare, for what seems like an eternity, as I feel a tap on my shoulder, startling me. "S-orry. I um, didn't mean to scare you." I recognized the voice, as I turn around, meeting eyes with Noah. "Noah? What are you doing here?" I ask, confused on why he would even be awake right now. "Couldn't sleep. I figured you were here for the exact same reason", he says as he slowly walks to the couch. "Yea, um bad dream." I say, scratching the back of my head. "Same here." He says sighing. "Noah? Why are you so quiet? I mean I get it, but why?", I ask curiously. "I-I um don't know. I guess I am just on my own, like I always have been." "Noah, no. You are not alone, nor ever will be. You are such an amazing friends, and you truly are amazing in the greatest way." I say smiling, as he returns the gesture. "Wait, sorry to like change the subject, but do you realize that the security system here is super shitty?", he asks, as I chuckle. "Right? I thought I was the only one who sneaked in here, but, I'm just one in the 200 others. I mean they said they had such great security, and i'm like bish where?", I say, as I realize I am acting different. I am being myself. Noah just laughs hysterically, as I tell him to shush, Before we get caught. I try my hardest not to continue laughing, but I do so anyway, as I hear footsteps running down the hall. "Oh shit.", I say, as Noah drags my hand, and we hide under a table. I hear the door creak open, and from undef the table, I can see big brown shoes, belonging to the one and only Hopper. "Hello? Who is in here?", he asks, as Noah and I stay silent. He grunts to himself, or so he thought, as Noah and I heard, as he leaves, closing the door behind him.
Noah and I get out from under the table, and we smile at each other. "Close one", he says, as I just smile, and begin to head out. "Oh, Noah? Nice talk." I say smiling, as he smiles back, and shakes his head.

I jog quietly down the hallway, back to the cell, and open it quickly, entering. Finn wasn't in his bed. "Finn?", I whisper, as I hear a voice from behind me. He was standing in the corner, smoking a cigar, as he gives me a stupid smile. "Hey cutie.", he says, making my cheeks flush red. "Hey Finnie", I say softly. "You want to tell me where you were?", he says as he begins to walk forward, closer to me. "Game room.", I say. "With Noah", I add, walking back to the bed. "Noah? He snuck out? I always pictured him as the type to be drawing in his cell." He says chuckling, as I just roll my eyes playfully. "I read in here all the time, Finnie. What you trying to say? That I am...a nerd?", I gasp, acting as if my feelings were hurt. "Nerds are cute. The cutest." Finn says, making me look down, the fluid rushing into my cheeks once again. "Stop it, Finn." I try to say sternly, but failing miserably. Finn had this effect on me. Making me powerless. Just a simple touch could do it. Or some simple words. I hated it, but I loved it. "Stop what?", he asks innocently, trailing his soft fingers up my arm. I get the chills, as I feel this effect once again, making me weak. Right as he is about to kiss me, someone knocks on the door, angering me.
Ugh, not again.
"Hey, Millie? You in there? Of course you are...but um, we need to chat.", Hopper says, as I look at Finn and peck his cheek, before exiting the cell.

   Hopper leads me down to his office, and he raises his hand and gestures towards the chair. I nod and sit down, curiosity filling my mind on what this could possibly be about. "Soo, what's this about?", I ask, breaking the silence. I look around, and read the clock on the wall
11:00 am.
"Well, I actually just wanted to check up on you. I-I uh, heard you crying last night. And I know you were in the game room.", he says, grabbing his coffee mug and taking a sip. I gulp, and just decide to tell the truth. "Yea, I have nightmares all the time. I wake up drenched in sweat and crying. I usually calm down, but this time I couldn't. So, I ran to the game room to take a breather." I say, looking down, hoping he wouldn't judge. "Millie, it's okay. Really. I mean, I prefer you not leave your cell, but hey, I understand." He says, as I smile at him. "You know, you are pretty chill for a guard", I say laughing, as he just shakes his head and smiles. "Oh and kid, no romances with that boy eh?", he says, as I feel myself blush, and my body feel warm inside. Sadly, the happy moment ended, as another guard came in before I could answer. "Hey, uh Hop, sorry for interrupting, but I need to see Miss Brown. She has a visitor." Those last four words were enough to make me freeze entirely.
What? Who? Why? No one has ever come to visit me.
I stand up, give Hopper a little smile, and follow the guard. I had felt something. Something I haven't in a long time.

Fear.
