Consequences | Nillie

Chapter 5 Millie

Switching to Millie's POV

The night after the awkward Starbucks outing, I was sitting on my bed, scrolling through Instagram. I started to feel my leg falling asleep so I started to stretch it out when my knee smacked against the side of my trailer. I may or may not have cursed repeatedly while rubbing by knee. 

When I looked back at my phone I fell silent, staring at an instagram post. It was a fan account I followed, one I normally didn't pay attention to, but it wasn't the account i was concerned with. It was the picture. Of Nick, MY  boyfriend, and some whor- I mean girl  who I didn't even know. They were kissing and I could tell from the expression on Nicks face that he was enjoying it. 

I forgot about my knee and dropped my phone in disbelief. I had so many thoughts in my head. I pushed all my "I should hire a hit man to murder him" ideas aside and tried to figure out why this happened. Nick had done this to me once a few months ago with a friend of his but we had talked about it and I thought he had changed. 

I couldn't believe he would do this to me. What would the cast think of me? They probably would all find out and feel bad for me which will just make it worse. 

There was a knock on my trailer door and I managed a weak "Come in." I hadn't even realized I was crying so the door swung outward I brushed away the tears and looked to see who it was.

"Hey." Sadie said, a sympathetic look in her eyes. She must have seen the picture. She came over and wrapped me in a hug, not needing to say any words.  

There was a knock on the door frame and Noah peered in. 

In allusion, Sadie and I said, "Nope!"

"Get out" I yelled

"No boys!" Sadie added.

Noah put up his hands and then turned away without a word to defend himself. When he was gone Sadie and I both looked at each other. I let out a snort and we both started laughing. It felt good to feel so powerful in such a powerless situation. 

We spent the rest of the night, cozy in my bed watching reality shows and talking about the boys. Sadie asked me what I thought about Noah.

"What do you mean?"

"Come on Millie. Don't give me the whole 'he such a great friend' speech. Be honest with me."

"But he is  a great friend."

"But he is totally jacked. Have you seen those abs?"

"Great comeback. And yes i've seen them but that doesn't mean-"

"He would be a great rebound."

"I am not turning by best friend into a rebound!"

"Okay so make him a rebound but then don't ever break up with him. And then have children and get married."

"Sadie!"

"I'M SORRY." She shrugged at me. "I just think you two would be good together."

"Idk." I said getting lost in my thoughts for a second. "Maybe we would but I'm not risking our friendship."

Sadies mouth dropped open. 

"Did you just admit... that you and Noah should get together?"

"You know what this discussion is over. Or I'll start asking you questions about Finn."

"What!" she practically screamed. "How do you know about that... what are you talking about?" 

I winked at her and then gave her a taste of her own medicine, "I just think you two would be good together.

The next morning, I went to find Noah before we started filming. I felt a little bad for kicking him out last night even if it was a completely reasonable reaction on my part. I found him... you guessed it, at the buffet trailer. When I walked up to him he didn't even have plate. Just one hand full of bacon and the other holding a muffin. 

"huh muhlie." His mouth was so full he couldn't even talk. I giggled which made him laugh too and then he started choking. I won't go into detail about what happened next but once the food was cleaned off the floor and I got him a proper plate, we both sat down at a table and started talking. 

"Sorry about last night." I said.

"It's fine I totally understand. I saw the picture and just came over to make sure you were okay." 

I smiled knowing he was thinking about me.  

He sighed and added, "I guess Sadie beat me to it."

"It's not that I just needed to be with a girl for a bit."

Noah leaned in and whispered, "Is that like a period thing or-"

"NOAH!"

"Sorry! I was just asking."

I shook my head in amazement at the clueless, cute boy sitting across from me.

"You know Noah, sometimes your stupidity is just incredible."

"Hey!"

I pretended to not understand why he was offended.

"I'm not stupid. And I'm defiantly not a cheater."

"I don't know that."

"What do you mean, i've never cheated on anyone!"

"Now lets see, thats because you've been in..." I counted on my fingers, "One, Two, Three, wait no, ZERO relationships."

"That's just cold."

"We both laughed and then fell quite. I completely forgot about Nick when I was with Noah. He made that relationship seem so... fake. I don't think either of realized how much we had missed each other the last year. Even though we saw each other from time to time we never had enough time to really connect. 

I glanced over his face. Remembering each feature. His flickering hazel eyes, the little freckle above is lip, and his lips... they were so....

"Earth to Millie?"

 I must have been staring at him. 

"Yeah?"

"You seemed a little zoned out." he said grinning.

"Sorry. Hey you want do something fun?"

"Yes of course!"

"A prank? like old times?"

He stood up quickly and pushed in his chair. 

I looked at him confused. "Where are you going?"

Flustered he replied, "I don't know. I just got excited and stood up." 

"See? Stupidity. We got to make a plan first Schnipper." 

He sat back down and we got to work. It didn't take long to come of with an idea. We knew we had to get back at the Duffers for throwing the whole kiss thing at us with no warning. The table read was just a few days ago and the kiss was scheduled to happen tomorrow. I mean give a girl some warning would ya. We finished laying out our plan before parting ways to get ready for the day of filming. Tomorrow, our plan would come together.

This was my favorite chapter to write so far. I'll update at least once tomorrow.
