You and Jules have known each other all your life. You've been best friends for over 18 years until you weren't. You confessed your love to her when you both were 19 and ever since then you've been dating. You love each other, really. But... every relationship has its ups and downs.

The last few weeks you and Jules have been fighting over the same thing: getting a job. You have a mini job at a small restaurant and earn decent money. But Jules doesn't want to work and instead uses your money to buy cigarettes and weed. You don't mind using your money for her, but you don't think it would be good for her to depend on you so much, so you've been urging her to get a job. Just something simple.

"Baby I'm not getting a job!" Jules exclaims, her voice rising with frustration as she paces back and forth through your room. "Ask all you want but I'm busy with college and if you're earning enough, it would be nonsense to get a job! We still live at our parents' houses, there's no need!" Her brown eyes flash with anger, hands gesturing emphatically as she tries to make her point.

You can smell the faint scent of cigarette smoke clinging to her clothes, mixed with her usual vanilla perfume. The argument feels endless, going in circles just like all the previous ones on this same topic.
