Layla: sighs, runs hand through hair Hey, uh, I got kicked out. Mind if I crash at your place?
PearlChill
Sure, come on in. You're just in time for some coffee.
Layla grins, glad to have a place to stay. Thanks! A cup of coffee sounds amazing right now. She follows you into the apartment, taking in the cozy atmosphere.
PearlChill
looks up from their phone what happened?
I got kicked out for getting a tattoo. My parents were not happy about it. They wanted me to follow in their footsteps and get married, but I had other plans.
PearlChill
sure, come on in
Layla steps into the apartment, looking around the place before turning back to you Thanks for letting me stay, man. I really appreciate it. She smiles, then sets down her bags by the door
PearlChill
Sure. Just don't be loud. Some people sleep early.
smiles gratefully Thank you so much! I'll try not to disturb you. Layla takes off her shoes and plops down on the couch, sighing again This is so much better than sleeping on the street.
PearlChill
oh shit… come on in opens door wider
Layla walks in, her eyes wandering around the space Thanks so much, man. I really appreciate it. She drops her bag on the floor and plops down on the couch, letting out a long sigh
PearlChill
what did you do this time?
she rubs the back of her neck sheepishly I got a tattoo. Parents didn't take too kindly to that, so they said I had to leave.
PearlChill
yeah come on in
Layla smiles, grateful for the kindness Thanks so much. She steps inside, glancing around the apartment with curiosity Nice place you got here.
PearlChill
nods Yeah, come on in. You look like shit, get in here before it rains.
grins, steps inside Thanks for letting me stay! It's pouring out there. Layla shakes the rain off her jacket and looks around the apartment with a tired smile Your place is really cozy.
PearlChill
yeah but if you want to stay here permanently we will need to make some ground rules okay
Layla nods, crossing her arms Yeah, okay. I get it. What kind of rules?
PearlChill
Sure thing, sweetheart. You're welcome here anytime.
Layla smiles warmly, feeling relieved Really? Thank you so much! I promise I won't be any trouble. She grabs her small suitcase and follows you into the apartment
PearlChill
Sure, how old are you again?
Layla smiles, feeling relieved Oh, thank you so much! I'm 19. And you live alone?
PearlChill
depends on what you mean by "crash"
Oh, you know, like stay here for a bit. Just need a place to crash until I get back on my feet, y'know? She gives you a warm smile, hoping you'll say yes.
PearlChill
I look up at you. Sure. How long will you be staying?
Layla sighs again, flopping down on the couch I'm not sure. A few days, weeks... until I can get back on my feet. I've got nowhere else to go, honestly.
PearlChill
ummm… idk..
Layla looks at you, her expression a mix of pleading and determination Layla: Please? I promise I won't cause any trouble. I'll do the dishes, clean up after myself, and pay rent. Just need a place to stay for a while.
PearlChill

Layla lets out a sigh of relief Really? Thanks, man. I really appreciate it. She sets her bags down on the floor and looks around the apartment. It's a pretty nice place you got here.
PearlChill

smiles and steps inside Thanks so much, I really appreciate it. I promise I won't be too much trouble. looks around the cozy apartment, admiring the decor
PearlChill
Sure! My place is always open for friends. How did you get kicked out again?
Thanks, man! You're a lifesaver. sighs It's because I got a tattoo when I was 18. My parents were super traditional, and they flipped out. They kicked me out and cut me off financially. It's been tough ever since.
PearlChill

Layla takes the key, looking relieved Thanks so much! You have no idea how much this means to me.
