NINE ➳ Mickey asks for a favor.

"Jean?!" Beth screamed from her room so that her roommate could hear her from the kitchen. "Have you seen that green sweater my mom gave me last Christmas?"

"The one you hate?!" She screamed back.

"Yeah!"

"Uh..."

Beth heard Jean's footsteps approaching.

"I borrowed it." She said, poking her head inside Beth's room. "Dear Sweet Baby Jesus!" She gasped when she saw the mess. "Are you putting stuff inside boxes or are you just throwing everything around?"

"Oh, shut up." Beth rolled her eyes. "Packing is hard. Where's my sweater?"

"I thought you hated it!"

"I did!"

"Then why do you want it back?"

"Because it's mine! Why did you take it without asking?" That was so Jean-like.

Beth was gonna miss her so much.

"Uh! Fine, don't need to throw a fit! I'm gonna go get it. It's probably dirty, though. You're gonna have to wash it in your new house." She said as she left Beth's room in the direction of her own.

Beth sighed, looking at the mess around her. She really needed to start putting things away. That's when her phone buzzed. She absentmindedly picked it up and saw it was a message from Mike. Oh, shit.

[okay I know we said goodbye yesterday but I have something to ask and god Im hoping you didn't uninstall the app or block me or idk]

[beth please be there]

[mike... what are you doing?]

Beth finally managed to finish packing the night before. Jean lent her some sheets so that she would have a nice night's sleep before catching the plane in the afternoon.

"Let's go for pancakes" Jean said as soon as Beth woke up and stepped into the kitchen.

"What?" She rubbed her eyes.
