My eyes slowly flutter open as my head starts to pound. "Great." I sarcastically say as I sit up. I look next to me at see Maddie sleeping soundly.
"Madds get up." I comment as I shake her a little. I could see that she was about to yell at me to leave her alone until she saw my face. My eyes were red and puffy, my hair was a mess and I smelt like alcohol.
"Oh Mills," she said quietly. I got up and walked into my bathroom. It still smelt like vomit and had a vodka bottle laying on the ground. My pills were all scattered around on the counter. I assumed it was from Sadie trying to get a gravel.
I took one out for my head and slowly swoled it as I looked down at the sink.
What have I done?
"Mills," Maddie started from behind me. I looked in the mirror that stood in front of me. She seemed to be holding a pile of clothes that I assumed were for me.
I turned and took them from her. I could see the pity she had in her eyes. She looked sad almost regretful. What did she have to be regretful for? I was the one who screwed up their life because they were to drunk to think.
I started to put on the fresh clothes that Maddie had handed me. I put on the white turtle neck then slid on my brown button up skirt. I tried to use makeup to cover my red eyes and eye bags but only making myself look worse. My hair was a mess and I had no intentions of fixing it.
I walked out of the washroom with a pyjamas in hand. Maddie gave me a smile although I knew it was forced. I walked over and took a seat beside her on my overly messy bed.
"Are we still on for tonight?" I asked. My voice was dry and cracked probably from all the sobbing.
Almost immediately after I asked the question, Maddie's eyes lit up and she started nodding. "Of course!" She stated. I nodded my head then gave her a half smile.
Maybe I could apologize to Sadie at dinner. I mean, it's not like she'll blow Romeo off because of what happened between us, right?
Right?

(Third person)
As Finn walks down one of the many streets that are in Hawkins, his eyes get stuck on a particular store. It's the same store that Millie always shops at.
By even looking through the window, you can see how expensive everything is. One of the most basic, simplest, dresses that you could even find in Walmart, sits in the window listed for $799.99.
He raised his eyebrows as he read the price tag. Not even Caleb could afford that dress and Caleb has money.
Who would even buy a dress for that cost? He thought. Girls and their clothes.
Finn slowly approaches the huge doors that lead him into the fancy store. He slowly looks around careful not to break anything. As he gets deeper and deeper into the store, the cosmetics section came into view. He looked around on the shelves that held millions of lipsticks and lip glosses.
"What would Millie like?" He mumbled to himself. He picked up a small tube of lipstick that was in a black container and stared at it for a moment. He could hear some girls behind him giggling but he ignored them.
"Need help?" He heard startling him. Slowly, he turned around to come face to face with a familiar girl- Grace Vanderwaal. A girl who he used to go to school with. He nodded his head then held up the small tube of lipstick.
"I'm looking for a gift for my, um, girlfriend." He stuttered. The girl shook her head then grabbed the lipstick. "This is a strawberry one, its new and limited edition. I think she'll like it." Finn nodded his head and thanked her as she handed it back.
He slowly braced himself before looking at the price tag. '$49.99' the price tag read. His eyes quickly widened. Who would buy lipstick that cost $50?
Knowing he didn't have near as much money as the lipstick costed, he slowly slid it into one of his pockets. His eyes were squeezed shut not believing what he was doing. He gulped as he looked around to make sure no one saw him.
Slowly and causally, he started to exit the store. No one seemed to suspect a thing. Everything was going good until the exit. That's where his plan went down hill.
"Stop!" He heard from behind him. "You have to pay for that!" They yelled over the alarm system. Not turning back, he ran. He could hear the sound of footsteps from behind that only encouraged him to go faster.
He didn't stop until he recognized the area he was in- Millie's. "Perfect timing." He whispered in between breaths. "Perfect timing."

"Mills someone's at the door for you!" Maddie called from downstairs. I sighed then sat my phone down.
Please don't be Sadie.
I started to walk down the stairs only to hear a the sound of laughter from a more feminine voice.
Please don't be Sadie.
The closer and closer I got, the more anxious I grew.
Please don't be Sadie.
I saw Maddie standing there with a smile on her face. Thank God that was Maddie's laughter. As soon as our eyes met, she seemed to have made up a phoney excuse to give us some alone time.
I opened the door wider to have my smile expand. There stood the one person I wanted to see the most; Finn Wolfhard. He had a dumb smirk plastered onto his face as I gave him a hug.
"Let's go to the living room." I suggested. He nodded then followed my lead. Flopping onto my couch, he said, "I got you something." My smile grew wider as he handed me the bag. It had a little white bow tied to the handles of the bag.
Slowly I started to open the present. I slowly took out the dollar store tissue paper first, wanting to save it. As I got to the bottom, I noticed a black tube. It took me a second before my eyes lit up. There laid a tube of lipstick from my favourite store.
The smile on my face reached from ear to ear as I picked it up. There was only one odd thing about it- the security tag was still on it. I looked over to Finn who had a nervous look plastered to his face. "Did the staff not take off the tag?" I asked confused. His smile that once was there, slowly faded away.
"Um about that," he stuttered. "They do, when you pay for it-" before he could finish, my eyes shot wide open and I dropped the tube of lipstick on the couch. "You stole it?" I half yelled in disbelief. He looked at me the scratched the back of his neck. "I um, yeah?"
"Finn!" I said as I stood up. He did the same thing but with a nervous expression.
"It's okay!" He said quickly.
"You could have been arrested!"
"But I wasn't." He said with a smile on his face as if he had just done something right.
"I can't-"
"You will."
"I can't f-"
Before I could finish, his soft lips came crashing into mine shutting me up. I couldn't resist the feeling giving me the urge to kiss back. Our lips moved in sync with each others.
Slowly pulling away, he tucked a piece of lose hair behind my ear. Our foreheads still touching, he said, "you will keep it, miss heartbreaker."

That was lame.
