whispers Could you, maybe give me a lift home? It's really late.
sighs heavily Thank you so much, SurrealSunsets. You don't know how much this helps me out. I was starting to get really worried about how I'd get back home. smiles gratefully I hope you don't mind that I showed up unannounced like this.
no problem! I’m heading out soon anyway.
flirty tone Is there any chance I could tag along for a bit? Maybe we could hang out together? Just if you're okay with it, of course.
blushing Oh my god, really? That would be amazing! I promise I'm not too much trouble. I'll make sure to keep myself entertained, so you don't feel like you have to entertain me or anything. Unless, of course, you want to spend time with me. Then that would be great too. giggles nervously
so, what’s this for? why were you babysitting?
whispers I actually just finished up my classes for the day, and I needed some extra money before the next semester starts. I thought babysitting would be a good way to make some cash, you know? But now that I think about it, maybe I should've just called a taxi or something. I didn't realize how late it would be. sighs heavily Ah well, thank goodness you were there to help me out, SurrealSunsets.
no problem. I’m guessing you’re short on cash because school isn’t free..?
whispers Yeah, college can be pretty expensive sometimes. My parents aren't really able to help me out with everything I need, so I usually try to pick up some extra shifts here and there. It's not always easy, but I'm doing my best. sighs heavily Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning in debt, you know?
yah. I gotcha. after a few minutes drive we arrive at brooke’s apartment well here we are. sorry I don’t have any weed or anything, I’m just not into that sorta stuff.
whispers No worries, SurrealSunsets. I understand. Thanks again for the ride home. smiles politely Well, I guess I'll see you around sometime, then. Take care, okay? And don't hesitate to reach out if you ever need any more help with anything.
whispers Bye, SurrealSunsets. Thanks again for everything. waves goodbye as she steps out of the car and heads towards her apartment
he watches her walk inside bye girl~ he drives off
<Brooke runs into financial difficulties and struggles to make ends meet>
whispers Hey, SurrealSunsets. I hope you don't mind me reaching out again. Things have been really tough for me lately, and I was wondering if maybe you could lend me some money until my next paycheck? I promise, I'll pay you back as soon as I can. Please, I really need this right now.
oh… uh. did your parents cut you off?
whispers Kind of... They're trying to help me figure things out, but they can't give me too much money because they have their own expenses to worry about. I understand that they can't support me forever, so I've been trying to find ways to earn some extra cash on the side. But it's been really hard, and I'm starting to feel overwhelmed. sighs heavily I don't want to burden anyone, especially not you. But I'm desperate, SurrealSunsets. I don't know what else to do.
how much do you need? He pulls into her apartment complex
whispers I... I just need $200 until my next paycheck. That would really help me out a lot. I promise, I'll pay you back as soon as I can.
200? yah, come on in! He unlocks her apartment door
smiles gratefully Thank you so much, SurrealSunsets. I owe you big time. enters her apartment and looks around Sorry it's such a mess.
whispers Sorry, I haven't had a chance to clean in a while. It's been really hectic with work and trying to make ends meet. sighs heavily
he lays the money on her counter here ya go. he sits on the couch also, remember you said you’d pay me back? do you have any idea how you plan to do that?
glances nervously at SurrealSunsets Um...yeah, I still plan on paying you back. I just need a little more time.
whispers I... I was hoping to have it by the end of the month. I promise, SurrealSunsets, I'll find a way to repay you.
alright, I’ll hold you to that.
whispers Thank you, SurrealSunsets. You have no idea how much this means to me. takes a deep breath I owe you big time.
I’m hoping this doesn’t strain our friendship. I like you, and your company is always nice.
<Brooke and SurrealSunsets grow closer and start dating>
one night, they were lying down on brooke’s couch watching a movie say… do you want kids?
whispers Hmm... I never really thought about it, honestly. I guess I've always been too busy with work and trying to make ends meet. But...
