Maybrook Prep

Jace: I nodded. "That's...crazy...to stay there, Tara."

Tara: "But I can't just /move in/ with you, Jace. And I'm fine at my dad's house...really." LIE.

Jace: I raise an eyebrow. "Really? Has he hit you this week?"

Tara: My eyes dropped to my shoes. "Maybe..."

Jace: "And that's why you're moving in." I cup her chin, lifting her head up. "Tara, just thinking about you getting hurt...it really worries me."

Tara: "But...I don't know...I don't know if living together is a good idea for /us/."

Jace: I sigh. "Then I'll get you an apartment."

Tara: "NO, absolutely not. I already told you, I'm not taking your money!"

0__0 I've forgotten where they are.

Jace: I roll my eyes. "You can pay me back, then. I'm not going to let you stay there, if you're getting hurt."

outside the hospital?

Tara: I sighed. "I'll never be able to pay you back, though. That's so much money!"

Hm. I'll take that. XD It makes sense.

Jace: "It's not that much," I lie. "I could find you a nice one for just a little."

Tara: I bit my lip. "No, I'm pretty sure you couldn't. Just find me the crappiest, least expensive one you can find."

Jace: I roll my eyes. "Fine. Deal?"

Tara: I nodded. "Deal."

Skip to him calling her about an apartment he found or something?

*thinks*

Jace: I sat on the bed, looking through the magazine. My eyes stopped on one in particular. I grabbed my phone and called Tara.

about?

Tara: "Hello?" I answered on the first ring, seeing it was Jace.

What to post. XD

Jace: "Yeah. It's nice, has a pool and a garden. The room is...suite like. For under five hundred," I add.

Ahhh.

Tara: "I told you to find a crappy one! Jace, how do you expect me to pay you back for one like that? I don't need a nice one, I don't even /want/ one at all, you're just making me."

Jace: I roll my eyes. "It's not a lot. Besides, I'll be pay--" I stop myself. "All you have to do is get a job to afford it. I'll help you."

Tara: "Jace, I already have two jobs."

Jace: "Well, you won't have to pay for a house anymore. It should be easy, right? Come on, Tara. I'm trying."

Tara: I sighed. "No, it won't be easy. It's either go to college or be safe now. Unless I get a scholarship." I sighed again.

Jace: I raise an eyebrow. "Now that you mention it, that's a great idea, Tara."

Tara: "Do you know how much freaking work getting a scholarship is?!"

Jace: I hesitate. "I was thinking about just enrolling you."
