Millie POV:

"Beetlejuice...beetlejuice...Beetlejuice!" Everybody screamed as we went up onto the stage for bows. I squeezed Alex's hand tight as we ran to the front of the stage. We did our bows and my heart fell so extremely full of love. I caught myself looking around the audience for Ben, but after I didn't see him right away I stopped looking, I didn't want him or anybody else to notice I was looking. When we ran off the stage I went straight to my dressing room and started getting all of my makeup off. I stopped by Dana's dressing room and talked her for a minute and then I headed off to the stage door. I opened the door to hear the screaming of the fans as playbills started to be pushed towards the barricade. I smiled for as many pictures as I could and signed everything I could see in sight. When I finally reached the end of the barricade I saw Ben standing with his roommate Josh smiling for a picture with a young girl. After the girl walked away, he looked up to notice me.

"Millie!" He smiled as he walked towards me.

"Hey!" I smiled.

"Nice to meet you Millie, you were incredible." Josh said grabbing me in a hug.

"Thank you so much! I'm glad you guys could come!" I replied.

"Well I'm not sure if you had anything planned after the show but would you want to come grab some food with us?" Ben asked.

"There's our star!" I heard voices scream. Cole and Jackson came running up to me and Jackson grabbed me and spun me around while I laughed.

"Why are you guys here?" I asked.

"Because some guy on the street asked if we wanted to buy $30 tickets to Beetlejuice off of him." Jackson said.

"So of course we said yes." Cole smiled.

"You're idiots." I laughed.

"Are we? Or did we both just get to see you in Beetlejuice for only $30." Jackson smirked.

"Please never buy tickets off of somebody on the street again. I can literally get you tickets anytime you ask." I laughed. "Ben, Josh, these are my roommates Cole and Jackson."

"Oh sorry didn't realize we were interrupting something." Cole said.

"No you're fine!" Ben said.

"We were just talking about going to grab some food, you guys should come join." Josh said.

"Or I mean if you guys have plans already..." I said turning and glaring at them. As much as I love my roommates, I don't trust them when it comes to guys.

"Nope, we are totally free!" Jackson smiled grabbing me in a side hug.

"Oh joy!" I said forcing a smile. I looked at Ben who was shoving his hands in pockets and looking around. "Well then let's go!"

"So this is your broadway debut?" Josh asked once we had all ordered at the restaurant.

"Yeah, and I don't think I could have dreamed of a better debut." I smiled.

"So how did you meet Ben?" Josh asked.

"Kerry actually, she took me backstage and introduced us." Ben said.

"She knows so many people it's insane!" I said.

"But Mills is our little broadway star." Cole smiled.

"Oh please!" I laughed.

"I mean you guys heard her sing, she's insanely talented! It's a shock the world is just now discovering her." Jackson added.

"Alright alright that's enough." I said cutting them off. They will go on and on about this, and it makes me feel like such a diva when they do it.
