Hey everyone, just R&R. I know this chapter is a little sketchy, so bare with me. It's set to be around a week after the first chapter.

Louis pulled up to Pasadena's University of Fine Art. Before he could turn off the engine, the car died. It did pretty well, considering he drove it from Sacramento with about four hundred pounds of luggage in the back.
In his opinion, his plan couldn't have been more perfect. Just as his dad was about to throw him out, he moved out, and found an apartment really close to the college. Plus, after he talked to Tawny on the phone, suddenly he discovered a new liking to art, and Pasadena never sounded better.
He got out of the car and kissed the hood. "You're such a good girl, yes you are." He stroked the hood gently.
Tawny was walking back to her dorm when she saw a very familiar beat up red Volkswagen.
"Louis, what are you doing here?
"I've decided what I want to be...an Artist!" he declared dramatically.
Tawny looked at him skeptically. "You don't like art."
"Oh yeah?" he said, digging in his car. "Well look at this!" he pulled out a very large picture of her.
"Louis, I had no idea. It's great," she examined the portrait of herself. "But you make me look fat," she said smiling. It actually wasn't too bad, maybe slightly too high school, but good.
"What?" Louis said, slightly afraid he offended her.
"I'm just kidding!" she said, laughing now. "It's wonderful."
*******
"Wow, your apartment's great, Louis!"
"Yep," he said proudly, "Two bedrooms, a kitchen, a TV." he showed her around. "Oh, and the toilet even has one of those things that sprays you after you take a dump."
"Nice," said Tawny grimacing.
"I still need a roommate if you haven't found a place yet," Louis said hopefully.
"Oh, I already am sharing a dorm at the college," Tawny said, examining a small stone trinket.
"So tell me again, why exactly are you here?"
Louis wasn't listening. He went numb and began sweating. Nothing seemed more perfect than her.
"Hello? Louis, are you listening?" she waved her hands infront of his face.
He ignored her and leaned into her, his lips brushing against hers.
She broke away. "What was that?" she said, trying to act insulted.
He smiled. "Oh, did you miss it? I'll show you again."
He moved in again, closing his eyes just in time to see Tawny smile.
The door flew open. "Who's up for bacon?" said a tall, skinny teenager, grinning widely.
Tawny let out a short scream.
"BEANS! What are you doing here?" Louis shouted, his face flushed with anger.
"Ooh, am I interrupting you two?" he grinned, "Get on with it then, you two love muffins." He set down a large plastic bag full of bacon on the kitchen table.
"Beans! GET OUT! How did you know I was here?"
"Your Mom told me," he said matter of factly.
"I thought you were in Florida with your parents. What are you doing here?" Tawny asked calmly.
"Ah, it was too boring. I figured I would spend the rest of the summer with my best buddy." Beans said, grinning devilishly.
"How can Florida be boring?" Tawny asked.
"Ah, after a while all places look the same."
"BEANS! GET OUT!!!" Louis roared, completely red now.
"Oh I don't think so, we're roomies now." He said, dangling the keys in front of his face.
"What?" Louis said, in shock.
"Enough small talk. Where's the can?"
Louis pointed numbly to the bathroom.
Tawny picked up her purse. "Well Louis, I better go," she said. Louis was still in shock from Bean's arrival. Tawny stared at him for a second, but when he said nothing, she headed for the door.
"Tawny, wait." Louis said, coming out of his daze. "Can I take you to dinner tonight?"
She shook her head. "No, I was going to go into the city to check it out."
He smiled. "Well, I'll accompany you then."
