Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark.

"Jacob, wait."

Jacob groaned and pulled his head back away from me. He was growing impatient and it scared me. He scared me. He had me pressed against this wall and I could smell his cologne because of the close proximity.

"What now?" He said with annoyance.

"I just- I can't risk this in public. I'm still in the contract and this goes against it," I said quickly.

I was rambling out any excuse I could at this point. I didn't want to kiss him or have him touching me at all. I didn't want to betray Finn like that.

"So what do you expect to do then Millie? I'm not waiting any longer," Jacob said shaking his head.

I tried to push my head back a little further. He was only centimeters from my face and I could smell his breath. I had only managed to convince him of getting one drink down, and it obviously wasn't enough for me to be able to have control of the situation. I glanced down slightly, seeing the phone in his pocket just barely sticking out. There was no way in hell I was going to be able to get that.

"W-we can do this in private I mean," I blurted out.

He raised an eyebrow, "When?"

"Uhm, well w-we can do it tomorrow! Yeah tomorrow," I replied back with a nervous smile.

"Aren't you going home tomorrow?" He asked.

I nodded, "Yeah we could meet in LA."

He seemed like he was thinking about it before he nodded. He moved his head closer, as if he wasn't already close. I closed my eyes, honestly just a bit scared of him. I could feel his breath on mine and I closed my mouth and held my breath.

"Fine. But you aren't running this time. I get what I want tomorrow or these pictures will be plastered everywhere."

I nodded just barely and he pushed off of me before turning and leaving. I watched him go and my eyes started to water. I looked down to where the bathroom door was only a little down the small hallway. I practically ran towards it and threw open the door, someone coming out just as I did. I kept my head low and so did they, a quick "excuse me" coming out of both of our mouths before she was out and I was in.

I pushed the door to the stall open and fell to my knees, not caring about how dirty the floor probably was. I could feel everything coming up and my eyes watered even more as I gripped the toilet seat bowl and vomited into it. My throat burned and my tears started to fall. I was a mess.

After I felt like everything was out of my system, I stood up shakily and flushed the toilet before walking out of the stall and washing my hands. I looked in the mirror and sighed at myself. Everything was a mess.

Millie snapped out of her thoughts as the car stopped in front of her and Finn's house. She thanked the driver before grabbing Scout's small carrier and her suitcase. She opened the door and set down the carrier, opening it up so that Scout could run around. He jumped up at her legs and she gave a weak smile before scratching his head.

It was nearly sundown and she was nervous. Jacob was coming once it was dark and she wasn't so sure if she was ready. It was her only chance though, Finn would be done recording his last song in three days and the next two days she had promotions for her movie.

She walked into the kitchen and opened up the cabinet that Finn kept the alcohol in. She pulled down a bottle of tequila and a bottle of whiskey, setting them on the counter before grabbing a couple shot glasses.
