Millie's POV~
'He wrecked it! That stupid asshole wrecked my sweatshirt! My brother's sweatshirt! That was the last thing I had of Charlie! Now it's ruined!'

He died a few years back... being only twenty years old and he got in a car crash. I was in the car with him when it happened. I can almost remember it like it was yesterday.

*Flashback*

"Come on, Mills, this is a one time thing! We have to go to this concert! It's The Struts! You love The Struts!" Charlie whisper yells to me. He got two tickets to a concert for him and I. It's eleven at night and he wants me to sneak out so we can go to the concert. I'd agree right away but it's in Indianapolis and we're in Hawkins.

"We'll get caught, Charlie. What if Mum and Dad see us?" I say as he basically drags me to his window. "They won't catch us, I've done this before. Don't tell them I told you that by the way." He chuckles quietly.

"Promise we won't get caught?" I ask nervously.

"I promise, now let's go." He opens the window and jumps out.

'Good thing his room is on the bottom floor.'

I jumped out after him and we ran to his car. We both got in and he immediately drove off to the concert.

*After The Concert*

"See, didn't I tell you that it would be awesome?" Charlie says as we walk back to his car.

"That was the most amazing thing I've ever seen!" I yell and he laughs. We both get in the car again. "Turn up the heat! It's freezing." I rub my arms, attempting to warm myself with friction.

"Here." He says and takes off his sweatshirt and gives it to me.

"Thank you." I say and put the huge sweatshirt on. I instantly get warm and sigh in relief. He pulls out of the parking lot and drives onto the road. "Thank you so much for taking me to see The Struts, Charlie." I say happily.

"No problem, I'll do anything to make my little sister happy." He says and tousles my hair. I smile and lean my head against the seat. "What was your favorite song?" He asks as he takes a turn.

"Definitely 'Could Have Been Me!'" I say and he laughs.

"Me too." Just as he was about to take another turn, another car comes out of nowhere and crashes into us. Charlie sits up and jumps in front of me.

Then everything goes black.

*About Twenty Minutes Later*

I lift my head up and look around. My ears are ringing, I can't hear anything. Everything is blurry. I start to blink fast, trying to get my vision to be clear again. It does and I see a bunch of red and blue lights.

'The hell happened?'

I look down and see Charlie sprawled out over the dash board and me. "Charlie?" I mumble.

No answer.

I start to shake him but he doesn't wake up. "Charlie? Charlie?!" I scream. "Charlie, wake up! Please wake up! Help! Help!" I scream and shake him more. My eyes start to sting with tears, my nose starts to burn, and my throat tightens up. "Charlie? Please, wake up." My voice cracks and I start crying. "Please, wake up, Charlie! I love you! Please, wake up!." I say and pull him toward me, hugging him tightly. "Please, be a dream, please, be a dream, please, be a dream." I mutter over and over.
