She shook her head at this and sighed, she paced around the room, hands scratching at her wrists. "You know what? He's having trouble, Amanda just said he had money last night to make Zack madder, that's how she is, she feeds the fire. He didn't have money last night, he hasn't had money. He's actually living on the streets or in his friends basements." Arden stated, she stopped walking, taking in a deep breath and calming herself down. "I know who he is... I heard about the deal, but I forgot. Chris borrowed that money because of some bad family issues, needed it for his brother to get out of jail, they didn't pay him back s he has been working for the money."

"Has he explained that to Zack? If he has, then Zack would be a hell of a lot more lenient on when the money is returned and probably give him a temporary home to live in." he stated, looking suprised. "As for Amanda...well...If you'd like I can have him make sure she learns to not do that." He offered. He hated bitches like that.

"Don't worry, she's gone through a lot herself, she just doesn't know how else to deal with stuff... Or maybe she does, but she'll never change." Arden said and then went and sat down on the bed beside Jason and then laid back on it. Covering her face with her arms. "Chris didn't tell him, he hates it when people know about that, he's probably listening to us from the kitchen right now and cursing me out." She said to him and shook her head. "It's alright, our friend Bianca is letting him stay with her and her boyfriend at the moment."

"But perhaps he should though. Do you really think he can scrounge up 900 dollars by the end of the week. You realize that to Zack that means 6 days, right?" he said, standing and pacing now. he didn't want her friend to be hurt. "Whether or not he likes admitting it it could save his ass."

"He's not telling him and i'm not telling him and you're definatly not going to tell him. Chris is going to do what he says he's going to do and if he doesn't come up with the money then he'll take th punshment." Arden said, this was true, Chris wasn't one to run away from anything like this. He was a strong guy and did whatever he had to do to feel pleased and good aout himself. "He's a demon you know? Can control steel, all my friends are demons, it's just hard to tell. Cole's a monkey, Amanda's a bull and Donavin's a cheetah."

"Oh. That's lovely." he replied and redid his earlier thoughts about Zack's watching of himself. Maybe he should. "And that's...brave of him." Jason did not know what else to say about Chris's situation. He would not bring it up to Zack. "I hope he makes the money though...I don't want your friends to get hurt by mine...It'd make a difficult Christmas time." he joked.

"Oh no it wouldn't, i'd definatly be laughing along with all the other people that know fucking Chris. I'll laugh freaking hard." Arden said, smiling and sitting up, she sighed to herself softly and then stood up from the bed. "Well then... I've got to take care of Chris's jaw, Jason. But i'll see you on monday, alright?" She questioned and gently kissed his cheek.
((Do you think we could skip to the end of the week? Or no?))

((sure))
He nodded and kissed her lightly on the lips. "Yeah...Monday." he replied and left quickly after saying goodbye and giving his best of luck to Chris. And then he was gone.
Jason went home and just fretted about the week.

((Awesome. I'm making it dramatic...))
Arden went to work the whole week and took care of Chris. he had gotten the jobs and worked very hard the whole entire week, he got about a hundred bucks or more a day. Arden was hoping that he'd have enough money but it's be hard to tell at the moment. Chris was definatly not spending any of the money that he earned at all.
Soon it came to the last day and Arden was in work, Chris was there, he was at the table near the back, eyes wide and staring downwards. He had a coffee that she bought him in one hand and was nervously sipping it.
Chris hadn't made enough, he had only about $825 and was worried to hell, he needed $755 more bucks or else he'd be canned and he couldn't work that day anymore to make anything. He didn't have enough time at all. Fuck... I'm a dead man. Was one of the terrible thoughts going through his head.
Arden was worried as well, she was keeping a watch on him, making sure he was safe and there and nothing was wrong with him at all. She hadn't told Donavin, Cole or Amanda about where he was or where she worked so there'd be no fighting.

Jason stared at him, saddened. Only 75 more dollars and he'd of been safe. Sighing sadly, he stared down at the counter. It was almost closing time. He knew Zack was giving the man as much time as he needed.
Sure enough at 8 o clock, Zack stepped into the coffee shop and approached Chris. He stared at him, and guessing on the expression of the mans' face..."Not enough, huh? How much?" his voice was oddly saddened too.

"I've got $825... That's all, I couldn't work today... Therapy was closed and Sabre doesn't let me work until 9:00..." Chris said and got the money out of his pocket, he ut it on the table and set down the coffee he had in his hand. His fott was moving quickly on the ground, anxious and nervous.
Arden watched with narrowed eyes from behind the counter. She didn't want Zack to hurt Chris for such a thing, he had worked so hard during the week, he had even got shouted at a lot more. If he even tries to hurt him I will go crazy, I swear it.

Zack sat down and counted the money for a moment, then stuffed it into his pocket. He was mulling something over, quite clearly. Jason whispered what he was thinking to Arden.
"Lets see...only 75 bucks short...perhaps I should let him slide with that...Give him a chore to do next monday...But what could he do? Lets see...Alexis said her and...what is his sister's name? Ah, Lilly and two other friends needed a ride to some long field trip in...England was it? Wherever it was...he could drive them to the airport...Spare me from some talk about video games...Or maybe it'd be nicer to spare Chris too from that fate...What was Alexis cooking? She said Lily had given her the recipe.......Back on track...." was the gist of Zack's thoughts. "He may have a chance if he gives Chris that small task..." Jason was hopeful.

She nodded her head and watched this carefully, she was very hopeful. Arden watched Chris then, he was staring at the table for a few moments and thinking to, trying not to look to nervous at all.
Chris swallowed and had some of his coffee, he was thristy, his throat was dry and he was questioning. "I could get you the money in two hours... There's always that alternative job..." He said quietly, looking at Zack with a bit of almost lifeless eyes. I almost had that money. I hate my brother... He thought and wiped the sweat off his neck from his nervs.

Zack sighed, scratching his neck. "You have two options. You have gotten most of the money. So you could get the remaining money in 2 hours and meet me back here, or you can come by my 2nd house, you know that one, and give my sister and 3 of her friends a lift to the airport." he told him, looking into his eyes with kind ones. Zack was a good guy when you kept your word or at least most of it.
Jason sighed in relief. Though he had been wondering what the punishment would be. Zack's ideas of punishment weren't exactly...punishment. More like teenager being grounded...It was amusing more than saddening.

"Uh... I..." He was quiet for a few moment, thinking hard, he either would have to listen to four girls chatter on endlessly or do a quick hit job. The hit job could be done faster then two hours and would be very easy. "I'm going to get the money." Chris said, he wanrted to pay hm back fully anyways.
Arden sighed softly in relief and scratched her neck gently. There was a vibration in her pocket and then 'I'm Alive' by Pearl Jam started playing. She got it out and opened it up, "Hello? Oh... Alright. I guess... I don't know where Chris is, I know he has to pay. Amanda don't shout at me please, my ears are sensitive. Well maybe he's at Bianca's house or something. I'm at work... No i'm not telling you where I work... Alright. Bye." She said quietly into the phone, sighed and then loked at Chris.
He smiled thankfully. "You're such a fucking liar Arden. Well at least it was to Amanda and you did just save my ass... You're alright." He murmered, she heard him though and rolled her eyes. "I have to go quick now if i'm aloud..." He said, standing up and finishing off the coffee.
