"finny?" i called out.

"yeah? what's up?" he asked, turning around to raise a brow at me.

"have you seen jj's hoodie anywhere? i can't find it."

"um," he stopped as he thought for a moment. "which one?"

"the tie-dyed one."

"no, i haven't." he shook his head.

"could you help me find it? it's her favorite one," i pouted as i rubbed at my eyes, letting out a small yawn. "she's gonna be mad if i loose it."

"yeah, i'll help you," he agreed, coming over to ruffle my hair. "i'm sure she won't be too mad; she's pretty understanding."

"you don't understand how much she loves that hoodie, fin," i shook my head, starting to look for it around the hotel room. "i had to beg her to let me take the hoodie with me."

"damn," he muttered. "what's so special about it?"

"it's comfy as hell." i grinned.

"fair enough."

we continued looking around the hotel room for the hoodie.

"so, why couldn't she come onto the tour last week?" finneas asked after a moment.

i sighed. "her parents grounded her and took her keys."

"grounded— isn't she turning twenty, like, next month?"

"yeah. but they took her keys, and threatened to take her car permanently if she left, seeing as they bought it or whatever." i rolled my eyes.

"damn." he muttered.

"it's such bullshit, finny. why is it that every time we're supposed to see each other, something happens? it's not fair."

"you'll get to see her soon." he tried.

"not soon enough," i muttered. "i just... i miss her so much."

"i know, bil, but you gotta pull through and wait just a little bit longer. you've got this." he assured.

"i hope so." i mumbled.

it was silent for a few moments as we continued to search for the hoodie. a few minutes passed before finneas said "i found it!"

"thank you." i grinned, taking it from him so that i could slip it on.

"no problem," he smiled. "i'm gonna go finish packing before we have to go."

"alright, see you in a bit." i said as he started to leave my hotel room.

"see you."

i walked over to the bed, plopping down on it. i reached for my phone, scrolling through it for a moment before "jj 🥺🧸 wants to facetime" popped up on my screen. i answered it with a grin, sitting up a bit.
