AIR || CARLSON YOUNG [1]

THIRTY-SIX

VIOLET
hey lacey, i just wanted to tell you that i got a job

VIOLET
a coffee shop was hiring

VIOLET

also i saw an add about some girls needing a roommate and i might call them, i have to got another job though

VIOLET
i just don't want to invade more than i already have

violet, you're family. i know that i didn't know you were family until a week ago, but family is everything to me

which is why i've decided to let you stay at my apartment

VIOLET
i already am though?

no, this is carlson's apartment. we practically live together but i'm kind of scared about it so i still have my own apartment

family helps each other, so i'll pay the rent until you've got things figured out and then i'll fix everything so your name will be on the papers if you feel like staying in that apartment

VIOLET
this is really nice, but i can't. it's too much

it's not enough, violet

did you know that i'm paying for venus's tuition?

i'm paying for andrea's health stuff

they think that our mom is helping them, but i send her money every month anonymously because that's what family do

we take care of each other, and it doesn't have to be with financial support, it can be by just being there for each other

so the key is in your room along with the address, i also put some of the clothes i don't use anymore there since you only had one change of clothes with you

VIOLET
i'm not a charity case

this is not charity, it's the kind of family love your dad kept you from

VIOLET
sorry

no worries

VIOLET
and lacey?

yeah?

VIOLET
thank you for everything

VIOLET
i know that i messed things up between you and venus, but i didn't mean for that to happen

venus is a hothead, but she'll come around when she realizes that it isn't your fault that terrance lied. she's a good person, she's just very angry and passionate and makes rash decisions

VIOLET
also when are you planning on asking carlson to marry you?

VIOLET
just wanna know so i'm out by then, your nightly activities aren't the most fun thing to listen to

uhm what

how did you know about that

what

VIOLET
you hid the ring in the closet of the guest room along with a written speech

VIOLET
i think proposing would happen better without a rehearsed speech, but it was really cute

VIOLET
sorry for reading it btw

no it's okay

but i don't know, we kind of just got back together

VIOLET
i don't know love, like at all, but i'm pretty sure that the look you two have in your eyes when looking at each other is pure love

VIOLET
i've got to go now, though. bye lacey!!

so venus doesn't like violet bc she's the reason their dad left and she's mad bc violet knew about having sister while venus didn't know about her. oh and lacey has something for carlson aye
