Time jump from 2020/2021 to 2025. Millie is now 21 and Finn is 22. 
I made this dramatic time jump because i don't know what else to write in 2020 :)

POV MILLIE

'And you sure you want to do this?' Grandma asks and i nod. 'It is just for 1.5 months.' I remind her and she sighs. 'Text me. A lot. Everything!' Grandma says and i smile. 'I have to go now.' I tell her and she pulls me into a hug. 'Call me when you need anything.' She says and i smile. 'I will.' I promise and then turn to my grandpa. 'I am not leaving for years!' I smile when i see the look on his face. 'You are growing up too fast.' He says and i smile. I give him a hug too and then say bye again. I fastly step out of the house before they force me to stay. I get in my car and drive off to my own appartment. I am taking classes in California. California! I won a competition in my class and won these classes. I talked with school and dicided that i am going twice as long. I could use the break too. I have been studying none stop these past 5 years. I go to Oxford Medical school and am almost done with my first study, what official makes me a doctor. I am then planning on continuing studying to something i like. I really want to go to the oncology dempartment. My mom got diagnosed with cancer last year. That is one of the reasons. It is also the reason that i want to go to California. Her health is going down hill very fast. It is horrible.  last year she married David. They had a great wedding. He is still here. He didn't leave mom or me, what is great. I think that if she had to go threw to a hearbreak she would die. I still don't talk to my dad, so beside from my grandparents, David and mom i have no one anymore. I haven't heard from Finn in 5 years either. I texted him happy new year and happy birthday every year, but he never responded. Am i salty about it? No not really. It is his own choice. I do kind of miss him. After he left, he started a band with his friends. They went viral and are now one of the most famous band in the world. I did date someone else, Sam, for about 2 years, but he left me for someone almost 15 years olders. Even though these things really hurted me, i dicided not to let it get me down. This is my life, i have to make it good. I open the door to my own cozy appartment. It is small, but pretty and i have all the space i need. I have a bathroom, with a shower. I have a bedroom and a small broomcloset for space. The livingroom and kitchen is one space and i made it very comfertable. I drop the book i picked up from my grandparents and putt in in my suitcase. I am taking 15 books, one for each mood i am in, in California. I walk into the kitchen and i grab my leftover pasta from the frigde. I can be lonely at some points, but i don't feel the need to go out. I don't feel the need to be social. I like being alone and doing my own things. I warm the pasta and turn on the tv. 'Finn wolfhard spotted with Olivia Johnson from the new hit show, the Ending.' The woman on the tv says and i sigh a little. Finn has dated about 6 girls these past years. He got over me faster then i got over him. I switch channels and eat my food.

POV FINN

I step out of the airport and start walking to the big building. 'Finn wait. Why do you always walk so fast?' Olivia behind me complains and i slow down a little. 'I don't walk fast.' I mumble and Olivia sighs. I case you did not realize by this amazing conversation: Oliva and i are not really dating. This is all fake and for publicity. As you can also tell: not my idea. But i signed a contract so i don't have a choice. I've been fake dating people for 5 years now. It was all George, our managers, idea. He said it was good for my image but i think he ment his image. I hate his ass. I started a band with my friends as a joke. We uploaded a video to youtube and people really liked it. We hired George. We started writing more songs and went on our first tour. We started out in small spaces, but had to change to bigger locations because more people wanted to come. This is our 4th tour. My mom is fine. She has a good job, new friends. Nick is still in africa and got recently engaged with this girl named Ally, who works at the same place as him. Dad is great too. He is going over his case again. We talk on the phone more then we did when i was back in England. I miss Millie so much, what might sound weird because i didn't text her back, but i do. I just didn't know what to say. I got so worked up about even saying thank you or thanks that i just said nothing. I miss her and everything around me seems to remind me of her. I wonder what she thinks of me now. Maybe she thinks that i am a player. A lot of people seem to think that. I step into the building and wait for my suitcase. I stand next to Oliva who tries to make some small talk, but i only hum a little here and there. I wait on Olivia too and then we walk out the Airport. We get in the big black car and drive off to the hotel. This is our last tour destination. California. We walk into the hotel once we get there and find our room. I open the hotelroom and smile when i see Alya sitting on the floor next to Jack, across from Malcolm on the couch. They are arguing about something and they don't even notice me being here. 'You can not.' Malcolm says and Ayla shakes her head. 'Yes you can. You have too!' Ayla says and Malcolm spots me. 'Opinion about the dresscode on schools?' He asks me and i frown. What a subject. 'It is stupid and should go.' I mumble and throw my coat over the chair. 'Agreed.' Malcolm says and  i smile. 'It is not bad that there is a dresscode. It is bad that the dresscode is sexist.' Ayla says and i drop on the couch next to Malcolm. 'If you have a dresscode, it will always be sexist.' Malcolm says and Ayla rolls her eyes. 'When do you guys not agree?' She asks when i nod. 'When your opinions aren't stupid.' I mumble and Ayla throws the pillow next to her against my face. 'They are my opinions so you might find them stupid, but their mine so shut up.' She says and i laugh. 'How was Oliva?' Jack asks and i sigh. 'Don't start with me.' I mumble and grab the bottle of water from the table. 'It can't be that bad.' Jack says and i make a sound. 'You never fake dated someone.' I mumble and i feel Malcolms eyes in me. 'Because you are still into Millie.' Malcolm says and i turn my head to him. 'Shut up.' I snap and Malcolm raises his eyebrows. 'See.' He says and i roll my eyes. 'You don't know what you are talking about.' I snap and Malcolm laughs. 'I was just kidding, dude.' He says and i grab my phone. I scroll threw instagram. I see that Millie posted something on her story. I click on it and see that she added to her story where someone else mentioned her in. It is a photo of her with a blonde girl and it says in black letters, besties. I don't know who that girl is. I press on her account and study the photo's. She has one with Millie where they are wearing doctors labcoats. They are doing some weird dance thingy and are laughing. She seems happy. I close instagram and awnser some text from my mom. I close the phone and look up again. 'Finn?' Malcolm next me asks and i turn my head to him. 'Are you mad?' He asks and i smile. 'No.' I smile and Malcolm raises his eyebrows. 'Sure?' He asks and i roll my eyes. 'You guys are childeren.' Ayla says and i smile again. After a while i stand up and lock myself in my room. I look around the room for a few minutes. I have my own mini kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. We basicly only share a big livingroom. I grab my suitcase and lay it on the bed. I open it and grab the blue copy of Call me by your name. I never gave it back. I kind of grew to love it. I throw it on the nightstand and unpack the rest of my stuff. We are staying for at least 3 weeks. It is good. Being on one place for a while.

POV MILLIE

I step out of the plane and breath in the fresh air. California. I walk down the stairs and into the airport self. It was good flight. Long though. I wait for my suitcase and then walk out of the airport. I walk to the company were i rented my car for these months. I thoughed about renting a car or just taking the bus. I made a list and i found out that renting a car was cheaper then taking the bus all the time. I step into the white car and type in my location. I drive off to the hotel. I am switching hotels once, because i want to see the other side of California too. I walk into the big building and i get my key. I go up with the elevator, because i can't drag my suitcase up 12 stairs. I get out of the elevator and open the door to my hotelroom. It is not that big, but i do have a table, small kitchen, bed and bathroom. Just like back in England. I wanted a kitchen because i like cooking myself, so i don't have to eat out every day. I unpack a little and then walk out of the hotel. I explore the area for a while. I go into some shops but don't really buy anything. I spot a small coffeeshop and i sigh in relieve. I thoughed i might have been stuck with starbucks all month. I push open the door and walk to the counter. 'Hey, what can i help you with?' The girl behind the counter asks and i scan the big menu. 'A normall Espresso?' I question and she nods. 'Will do.' She smiles and i do too. I take a seat next to the window in the corner of the room and grab my book. Selection by kiera cass. It is a good book, a little bit like a cliche, but if you live for drama like me, it is a great book. I order another coffee and wait for the girl to call out my name.

POV FINN

'Where are you going?' George asks when i grab my coat. 'Far away from you.' I snap and he sighs. 'Why don't you understand. I am doing this for you!' He snaps and i laugh. 'Funny. Aren't you the one that get's paid big if i agree to fake date her for another month?' I snap and George sighs again. 'That is so not the point!' He says and i roll my eyes. 'It so is. Bye.' I yell into the room and i hear some byes here and there. I step outside and putt on my sunglasses and hat. I need coffee. My coffee addiction only got worse when we started touring. That small kick you get after drinking it, is what i live for. I see the coffeeshop sign and make my way threw the big crowd of people. I step and walk to the counter. I order a normal coffee and sit down at a long table. I open my phone when it makes a sound. 

MALCOLM: You need to be at studio at 4. 
FINN: Why?
MALCOLM: We have to re record the last song.
MALCOLM: Something went wrong. 
FINN: Fine. 

They always mess it up. I get my coffee and take a sip of the hot liquid. I look around. It is a cozy coffee shop. Small, pretty. 'Order for Millie.' The girl behind the counter calls out and i smile at the irony. Millie hunts me. 'Thank you.' I hear someone in the familiar british accent say and i look up abruptly.
