I Cant Help Falling For You

Stranger Things Premiere

Millie POV

The day had finally come. Stranger things 3 was coming out, and everyone was gonna love it, and best of all, i got to see my stranger family again after a long 6 months.
I laid my head against the cold and comforting glass window of the Uber. We were making our way to the Premiere, and all i could think about what seeing them after so long.
Well, thats partially a lie.
Seeing him.
The night after that Jimmy Fallon interview where me and Noah kissed? We never talked about it.
We parted the next day, and pretended that nothing happened. I hated it, but i was too scared to do anything about it. Which i hated as well. It was almost as if after that moment we never talked again.
But tonight, that was gonna change. I was sure of it.
The car came to a stop, and my head jerked back and forth in a flash. I awoke from my thoughts and plastered a fake smile on my face to hide my incoming fear of seeing him. Of seeing Noah Schnapp again.
I walked into the crowded building, filled with celebrities of all kinds, and people i've met and talked to. I managed to maneuver around everyone, and make my way to my beloved cast.
The first person i caught from the corner of my eye was none other than Gaten, and his poofy hair. I ran over to him and scared him from behind, causing him to jump and giggle afterwards.
"Millie! Its so nice to see you again!!" He exclaimed, engulfing me in a brotherly hug.
I accepted the hug and returned the gesture before bumping into Finn.
"Finnie!" I yelled.
He whipped around and shouted 'Millie' before smiling and bear hugging me.
Caleb walked up to me and Finn after our hug and pulled me into yet another hug without words. I playfully cried,
"Caloob!!" and giggled at my self stupidity.
Gaten, Finn, and Caleb got distracted because they saw Billie Eilish looking around to the right of them. I giggled and rolled my eyes at their craziness.
Just as i stopped rolling my eyes, they set on the one person i wasn't sure that i wanted to speak to today.
Him.
I saw him catch eyes with me and stare for a little bit. He looked like he was was thinking about walking over, when i saw him turn around and face the other way.
I felt a small punch in my chest from watching that. Feeling hurt, i walked the other way to go find the other three. I happened to find my way to the food and drinks at the premiere, and i stopped to get myself a small surely temple.
"Thank you." I said to the bartender, and i turned around just to find myself face to face with,
yes, you guessed it.
Noah.

He looked at me right in my eye, making me want to flinch. he half smiled, and looked down just a bit. He seemed so nervous.
"...Hey." He said.
"Hi." I said back, faking a nice smile.
He just looked up and at the drinks, avoiding my eyes. I got irritated and annoyed.
"Well, bye, i guess.." I said walking the other way.
I saw from the corner of my eyes that Noah looked sad that me made me upset, and he was walking up to me again.
"Millie? Im sorry, about.. that. I just, i wan-" His voice began to get muffled in the crowds of people begging him for a photo. I just kept walking. I felt small tears swell up in my eyes.
I bumped into Sadie, and she turned around and gave me a very very tight hug with zero words.
"Millie i've missed you so mu-... Hey? Are you okay?" she said, wiping the small tear rolling down my cheek.
I took a shaky breath and shook my head.
I turned to face Noah, but he was clearly caught up in the crowd.
Sadie had noticed.
"Hey.. Millie. Give him a chance, okay? He doesn't know how to do these things well, trust me. All you need to do is listen and wait for your time."
I smiled at her, but this time it was real. Because i was finally ready.
"Thanks, Sads." I said holding her shoulder. She smiled brightly, and watched me make my way through the crowd.
I saw Noah's pink colored jacket shining, and i walked over to it and tugged on the edge of it.
"Millie?" He said, turning around and finding my eyes.
I didn't answer him, and i dragged him away from the crowds and the loads of celebrities.
"Hey can we talk?" I said, grabbing the collar of his jacket. I saw that he was clearly uncomfortable, but i didn't care. It was about time that we stopped caring so much.
"I'm so sorry Millie. I messed up big time, and i should've done something about it. About, us." He said shyly.
"Its not just your fault. I didn't do anything either." I said.
He grabbed my hand and looked deeply into my eyes.
"Millie, everything is so confusing right now and i wish i had a definite answer. I want to tell you that we should be friends again, but i cant be sure if i would be telling you the truth or not." he explained.
I looked at my hand, and then into his eyes.
"I don't regret anything we did that night." I confessed to him.
"... Me neither." He admitted.
I smiled and placed my hand on his cheek. I could feel it burning a bright crimson.
"I'm sure i wont regret this either..." I said softly. I felt a crowd around us brewing, but i had not a care in the world.
"M-Millie" Noah choked.
"Shhhhh."
our lips touched and the crowd around us only got bigger.
He slowly placed his hand on my cheek, and we pulled apart shortly after that.
We just looked into each other eyes. We ignored the crowd around us, as well as Sadie, Caleb, Gaten and Finn.
We knew what the consequences were for what we did, but we knowingly threw it all away just for that moment.
And yet, it became the best decision we ever made.
