Here's a shout-out to Thalia Grace-Pinecone Face: Thanks for the advice, I'll try my best to slow it down. I just love surprises, but I totally understand what you mean. Thanks for the advice!

Millie's POV:

I didn't sleep well that night. I thought I would feel better because I was with Maxine, but I tossed and turned the whole night, agonizing over what happened. What would Sophia do if she were in my shoes? Will she ignore us tomorrow? Will they still terrorize Felicia? Will Celeste hang with us or them?

My parents had let Maxine sleep over even though it was Monday night. They just made sure Maxine brought her clothes and books for tomorrow. As soon as Maxine entered my room, she dropped all of her books down and readied herself for bed.

After meeting with her agent, Maxine and I had stayed at the studio and did our homework for a while, also hoping to see someone famous. Sadly, though, P!nk had to cancel her meeting because her flight over to the studio had been delayed, so we never got to meet her.

Back at my large house, I grabbed a bunch of pillows from a closet and spread them on the floor. I then got out a very thick blanket and set it on the pillows to act as a sheet. After, I put out a sleeping bag and draped a colorful blanket over it for extra warmth. "We can't share my bed because I kick in the night," I explained.

Maxine flopped down onto her sleeping bag. "No worries," she told me, and then closed her eyes after I shut the lights.

In the middle of the night, I stayed awake, listening to Maxine's deep breathing. I couldn't get what I'd done out of my head. I had ruined my entire friendship with Sophia and couldn't take it back. Unless…

Was there some way I could take it back? I could claim momentary insanity or an evil twin sister. Maybe there was a full moon. I shook my head. Sophia would never go for that, and I knew that I had stood up for what I believed in. No way I would back down and crawl back to her ever again.

So much was happening. Nathan was after me at school, Maxine has her record deal, Felicia was going after her, and Sophia probably wants me dead for disagreeing with her. This was all too much. Is there a way to stop all of this?

But I had gotten what I wished for: something exciting, undoable, and regrettable. Wasn't this what I wanted? Only now that I have it, I wished I could undo everything.

I stared at my alarm clock, envying Maxine, who could sleep after what happened. How is that she was relaxed enough to sleep? In the darkness, I could see her long dark hair flowing from her head, spread across the pillow. One hand was tucked under the white pillow, and her mouth was slightly open. She looked so calm and worry-free. She's always so zen and a genius when it comes to life. She didn't seem to care that she blew up at Sophia and Addie earlier today.

The hours ticked by. I couldn't tear my gaze from my clock, and watched as the numbers inched closer to dawn, and then the alarm went off. Maxine shot up from her makeshift bed.

"Whaaaaa?" came from her mouth as she looked around in confusion. After looking around and realizing were she was, she rubbed her eyes and looked over at me. "Sorry, I was just startled because I forgot where I was." She studied my face. "You don't look so good. How did you sleep?" she got out of her sleeping bag and turned on the lights.

"How did I sleep?" I repeated. "I wouldn't know since I wasn't able to." I clutched my head, my fingers curling into my hair. "I've got a migraine," I moaned.

"You can't go to school in this condition," Maxine declared. "You'll have a breakdown if you try to perform academically without rest. We're both staying home." She sat down on the edge of my bed and grinned at me. "I've got back pains anyway from the floor. I miss my TempurPedic!" we both giggled.

"So tell me," I said to Maxine. "How did you sleep last night after what happened?"

"So that's what you lost sleep over." Maxine sprawled out on my bed, her chin resting on my left shin. "I slept well because I know I did the right thing and don't doubt my decision. I'm just going to let it be. If Sophia and I are meant to be friends, then fate will bring us back to each other again. But I'm not going to push it."

"Well I'm sad I lost Sophia, and am worried she'll get back at us."

"If she did something to hurt us, then that means we were never meant to be close." Maxine shrugged. "You should try to sleep some, but not past noon or else you won't sleep tonight. I'll talk to your parents. And when you're done napping, we should do home-made facials or something fun." Maxine got up, pulled her pajama pants down a little, and walked out, closing the door behind her.

I sighed as I curled back into my bed. I was glad to have a day to recoup after the drama and get a grip on some things. A lot of things were happening fast, but hopefully it'll slow down soon.
