Roman & Jonathan's apartment (next day)
Jonathan: This is why I worked so hard so this wouldn't be a problem for her but..we're not together. It'd be weird to pay for her school since we aren't together anymore.
Roman: So use the baby daddy excuse. Tell her you'd help her pay to take the stress off.
Jonathan: I want to pay for the whole thing.
Roman: So tell her it's a thank you for bailing you out of jail.
Jonathan: ...wait what?
Roman: Oh, yeah, I got the money from her.
Jonathan: What the fuck? Roman, why did you ask her?! She's pregnant!
Roman: I didn't ask her, she offered & wouldn't leave me alone until I said yes.
Jonathan: You couldn't have said something like "pay half"?
Roman: Ok you're forgetting the reason why I told you that...I actually wasn't supposed to but oh well.
Jonathan: Why did she pay?
Roman: Because she's still in love with you just like you're still in love her.
Jonathan: I'm not-
Roman: We're not about to start all the way over with this denial shit
Jonathan: Shut the fuck up about these levels.
Roman: So you're paying for her to go to school or?
Jonathan: I am. I have to pay her back.
Roman: You have to pay her back or you want to pay her because you love her?
Jonathan: I'll see you later. *leaves*
Shanté's apartment
Shanté: *opens the door*
Jonathan: Why did you pay for my bail?
Shanté: Hey?
Jonathan: Shanté.
*time skip*
Jonathan: *sighs* Do you even know what I did?
Shanté: I don't have to know what you did to bail you out.
Jonathan: ..do you want to know?
I hesitate to answer the question. I'm afraid that what he'll tell me will make me see him as a completely different person & I don't want that but on the other hand I am curious
Shanté: Will it make me see you differently?
Jonathan: I don't know how to answer that question for you.
Shanté: & I don't know if I want to know or not.
Jonathan: Well I'll tell you whenever you want to know.
Shanté: Mmkay.
Jonathan: But I'm paying for you school, ok. If you want to go, I got you.
Shanté: I don't want you to.
Jonathan: I'm going to.
Shanté: Jonathan we aren't together anymore. You don't have to-
Jonathan: But you went on ahead & paid for my bail. We weren't even talking & you did it, so why can't I just do this for you? Why is it so hard for you to let me show you that I love you?
Jonathan's POV
She looks at me with a slightly shocked look on her face & I realized what I had just said. Instead of saying something, I wait for her to speak. I can tell she's trying not to cry & it takes me back to when we used to argue. We're not together anymore & we still argue. Roman's thoughts on thinking we'd get back together fades every time we argue or even when I notice the changes between us
