Never Surrender

Mike walks into Will's room, having finished using the toilet. 'Hey, man.'

'Hey', says Will looking up from his drawing.

'What are you drawing?' Mike asks as he takes a seat on Will's bed.

'Eh...nothing special, just doodling. It helps me fall asleep easier.' responds Will while putting the notebook and pencil away on his nightstand.

Mike looks at Will with worry written all over his face, 'You still have trouble sleeping?'

'Sometimes...it's not as bad as it used to be', he says, frowning slightly 'Actually, El has it much worse than I do these days.'

'El? What do you mean? What's going on with El?' Mike tumbles the words out, his back straightened, suddenly alarmed.

'She's been having this strange recurrent dream lately, waking up tired all the time.'

'Did she tell you what it's about?' Mike asks, trying not to work himself up. He couldn't understand why El never mentioned any of this to him.

'She only remembers fragments of it, but it's always the same three things: a forest, snow and a railway.'

'CUT!'

Finn's POV

The moment we hear 'cut' Noah bursts out laughing, 'Oh my god, your face in the end kills me every time! I can't believe I managed to hold it together just now.'

'And I can't believe we had to do this scene seven times, SEVEN times.' Shawn said, looking beyond annoyed. 'This was supposed to take a half an hour, tops.' He continued, shaking his head disapprovingly. 'We are so behind the schedule today, so Finn,' he pointed at me 'I don't want to hear any complaints tonight, got it?'

I bit my lip to stop me from smiling. Annoyed Shawn is my favorite. 'I got it, no complaints from me! Scouts honor!' I yelled out saluting him.

I heard Noah laughing beside me as Shawn said 'You were never a Scout, so that means nothing.'

He walks away leaving the two of us alone, Noah nearly in tears because of how much he laughed these past two hours. 'Never has the saying 'if looks could kill' been truer than now. He looked so done with you.'

'Let's leave before he does actually kill me.' I say chuckling as we walk towards the exit, 'We should get something to eat. I don't know about you but I am starving!'

The rumbling coming from Noah's stomach made it clear that we were on the same page.

Millie's POV

I was sound asleep on the couch in mine and Finn's trailer when a piercing 'MillAY!' jerked me awake.

'Wha- What's going on?' I mumbled, slowly opening my eyes to see Noah and Finn standing in front of the door looking at me sheepishly.

'Sorry, Mills, we didn't think you'd still be asleep' Finn said, 'Noah yelled out your name the moment I opened the door.'

'Way to sell me out, bro.' Noah said plopping himself on the chair across from me.

'Like she didn't know it was you already, bro.' Finn responded mockingly, slowly walking towards the fridge.

I thought the conversation would be finished now but Noah seems to have forgotten that I am even here, his eyes looking at Finn's back while he's rummaging the fridge 'How would she know, she was literally asleep?'

'Never in my life have I called her Millay, Noah...you're the only one who calls h-'

'Did you guys wake me up just so you can have this stupid argument while I watch?' I ask extremely irritated. Not only was I abruptly woken up just minutes ago, but I actually had to sit and listen to this back and forth idiotic bickering.
