If I Could Turn Back Time

Finn was getting ready to go to hair and make-up as slowly as he possibly could, hoping to see Millie before they started filming today. By the time half past 8 rolled around, he had to leave, but she hadn't yet returned. He couldn't help but worry a little bit. Where could she have gone that early?

He walked to the hair and make-up trailer with his head bowed down, kicking pebbles left and right. He reminded himself of emo-Mike for a moment. Both pinning over the same girl for years now, he thought to himself mockingly.

'Well don't you look like crap today.'

A deep voice startled him out of his thoughts and he looked up to find Caleb sitting in a chair in front of the same trailer he was heading to. 'Gee, thanks.' he said glumly, plopping himself down on the empty chair next to his best friend.

'You know you can always count on me' Caleb teased, but Finn just glared at him from the corner of his eye, 'Not even in the mood for jokes, okay then...'

There was a moment of silence before he spoke again 'So, what's up your butt this morning?'

The curly-haired teen just sighed deeply, flipping him off while staring straight ahead.

'Woah, okay, seriously, dude...what's wrong?' Caleb leaned towards Finn, concernedly waiting for an answer.

Finn turned his head to look around 'Is anyone else here?'

'Not right now. Sarah went to talk to Matt for a second, though, she'll probably be here soon.'

'Alright...' Finn trailed off thinking about what to say and how. His thoughts and feelings were still pretty jumbled, it was hard to make coherent sentences, even in his mind.

'Sooo...are you gonna tell me what's got you down, chum?' Caleb laughed quietly.

'Would you stop with the jokes, dude?! I'm really not in the mood.' Finn replies briskly, feeling slightly irritated and the laughter stops as Caleb just stares at his friend in surprise. No wonder, Finn thought, he knew he was being an asshole.

'I'm worried about seeing Millie today.' He mutters out, fiddling with a piece of string hanging from the bottom of his T-shirt.

'Oh, god', Caleb groans, 'what did you do this time?'

The lanky boy jumped out of his seat, suddenly unable to sit still and began pacing in front of his co-star 'Oh, hm...where do I even begin?' Finn says flapping his hands around like a bird flaps it's wings, sarcasm seeping through him from every pore, 'Let's see. First I asked her if she would be open to us having sex if season 5 happens, then I kissed her the second time during a scene even though I wasn't supposed to and, as if that wasn't enough humiliation for one day, I got a fucking boner while making out with her...in front of Shawn, Ross and Tim no less!'

Caleb sat in his chair, gaping at Finn, barely moving an inch, it didn't even look like he was breathing for a minute 'Uh...could you elaborate on the first one first? The others are pretty self-explanatory so we'll get into those later.'

'It's your fault.' Finn grumbled lifting his eyebrows at his older cast-mate.

'How is it my fault, I wasn't even there?!' Caleb whined defensively in his squeaky high-pitched voice.

'Yo-'

'Morning, boys', their conversation was cut-short by their hair-stylist. 'You ready for the day to start?' Sarah asks as she's unlocking the doors of the trailer.

'Yeah' they both answer in unison as they come in, one after the other.

As they're about to sit in the chairs, Caleb whispers to Finn 'How exactly am I to blame for your stupidity?'
