"We can save money. My care doesn't hold much but I think it'll be fine to make a few trips." Charlie said honestly as she walked out of the rooms and into the kitchen. She needed to know what she was dealing with. She checked out the cabinets to make sure that there was plenty of space to put cookware and food in them. She smiled at the size and went over to the fridge and opened it to see if there was a big space and sure enough it was. She smiled and sighed in relief. "Mira, the kitchen is huge. I know you don't cook but you have no idea how happy I am about this. My whole life is basically food. I'm surprised I'm not over five hundred pounds." she said laughing to herself.

"We should get going to get our things. We don't want to be out too late. There's celebrating to be done!" she said as her crazy attitude started to come out more and more. She raced down the steps and outside towards her car. She got into the drivers seat and started the engine. She beeped the horn gently. "Get in Mira!" she yelled out of the window. Once she was in the car and ready to go, she turned on some fun music and began to drive, singing and dancing as she was driving. She looked over at Mira and blushed. "Sorry, I can be a bit of a dork sometimes."

Charlie smirked a little as her new roommate began to explain what she had to move in. She could tell that Mira had other things on her mind and that she was a bit distracted. Charlie followed her around the house but tried to be careful as to not become too close in fear that she would make her feel uncomfortable. As she followed her, she perked up when she asked if she needed help with her things. A small twist of her head implied 'no'. "I'm okay, thank you though. I'm sure you will need some help though. I'm stronger than I look, I can carry almost anything." she said as she finally made it to what would be their rooms. It was two decent sized rooms, complete with walk in closets and a bathroom that joined the two rooms together. She walked into her room and looked around. For once, she felt like she was at home and she took a deep breath. "How's your room Mira?" she called out as she walked across the room and into the bathroom that she would be sharing with her.

As she made it to Mira's room, she stood at the door frame and leaned against it gently. While involuntarily watching every movement that she was making, she couldn't help but wonder about this girl. There was something about her that made her so attractive. Charlie didn't even know if she was into women that way. She felt it was best if she kept that to herself so that way Mira wouldn't freak out if she was into men instead. After a few moments of awkward silence, Charlie took a deep breath. "Well, I don't know about you but I am starving. So how about we go grab our things and I'll cook us a big dinner." she asked smiling.

Louis the Realtor smiled from ear to ear as the two girls decided to take the house together. Charlie smiled as well as Mira decided to take a leap of faith and trust that a complete stranger off the street could be a good roommate. As Louis got the papers together, Charlie took out her checkbook as well and started to fill it out. As she wrote out her check, she glanced up at Mira and couldn't help but feel a little giddy on the inside. Not only was she about to leave that pathetic excuse of a living situation but the woman she was going to live with was extremely good looking. Charlie had always been attracted to females but never actually had a girlfriend before. As Mira looked back up at her, she quickly looked down at her checkbook and blushed a little red in her cheeks and ears. She then cleared her throat and handed Louis the check from her and smiled as she took the pen from her. She quickly looked over the agreement forms and signed the places that needed to be signed.

"Looks like you're stuck with me for at least a year, Mira." she teased as she signed the last bit of paper.

"Very good, ladies. You are free to move in anytime. Congratulations and welcome home." Louis said as she handed both girls a key to the house. After a few more minutes of chit chatting between the three ladies, Louis gathered her belongings and was out of the door. Charlie folded her arms together and awkwardly looked at Mira. She cleared her throat again and looked around at the now empty house. She knew that eventually it wouldn't be empty and awkward. She started to envision the living room with furniture and pictures all over. She was determined to make it look home like. She looked at Mira. "Do you have a lot of things to move in? It'll take me a few trips to get all of my belongings. I never really had a lot of room before so I am used to travelling light."

I never got a PM from you!

Charlie smiled at the young woman as she extended her hand to her. She took her hand into hers and shook it firmly. "Charlotte Montgomry but everyone calls me Charlie. I'm sorry, I thought you looked like someone I've met before. My mistake. So..uh.. looking at the house too I guess?" she asked even though she internally rolled her eyes at herself for the stupid question. Obviously she was here for the open house, why else would she be there? She sighed as her cheeks flushed a bright red and she cleared her throat, hoping it would diffuse the awkward silence. As they stood there for a moment, the realitor walked by and smiled at the two women.

"Oh ladies, I'm glad you two haven't left yet. I went over both of your questionaires and profiles and by chance, I think you two ladies would be wonderful as roommates if you two are up for it. It seems like you two ladies would be very compatible and it would be within both of your price ranges." The older woman said with a bright smile on her face.

Charlie looked over at Mira and back at the realitor. As much as she didnt want to have to deal with a roommate, she knew that she needed to get out of that small room and couldn't be able to afford this house on her own. She thought about it for a moment and then looked at Mira. "I know we don't know each other but I'm not loud and I don't have many friends so I won't be crazy around the house. I'm good at cleaning and cooking and taking care of a house won't be a problem. I know it's not ideal but I really need this. What do you say?" she asked her in hopes that she would agree to this.

"Also ladies, this house also has a pool out back which is included in the rent." The older woman chimed in.

"A pool? C'mon Mira, how can you say no to that?" Charlie said to Lira in a playful manner hoping it would make her at least smile.

One door closes, another one opens or at least that's what they say. Who were these people that were called "they" and why did "they" say these things? It was simple mindless thinking that Charlie Montgomry found herself in on a daily basis. She was able to look at a situation, person, or even a word and begin to wonder why it was named a certain way or why it came to be. It was a bit distracting at times and she even considered to put herself through a psychology test to see if she was secretly crazy.

On the morning of May 26, Charlie woke up because of the shining brightness of the sun coming through her window. She clenched her eyes shut at first but then gradually opened them up. She looked around in her small room that she had be renting out from an old couple who had a spare room in their basement. The walls were plain and white and only gave her one window and barely a closet to keep her belongings. It had been a rough patch in her life and she had no where else to go. Her family found her to be a disappointment when her dreams of medical school were shot to hell because of a unfortunate circumstance that she had no control over. She had learn to crash at friends houses but she knew it wasn't "home".

As she sat up and stretched, she looked out her window and took a deep breath. She knew she needed to find herself a better home. Living with the Lannister couple was fine but it wasn't home and she felt uncomfortable. Today was her day off from her waitressing job she aquired shortly after being thrown out of med school and decided it was the best time to go searching for the place that she may be able to call home for real. She got up quickly and ransacked her closet looking for something appropriate to wear. After a few minutes, she decided on a pair of fitted jeans and a v-neck band tshirt. As she stood in front of the mirror and examined her blonde hair falling over her shoulders and the noticably dark circles under her eyes from stress and lack of sleep, she sighed and shook her head.

"As good as it's going to get." she said to herself in a low tone.

Grabbing her bag, she set off on a long day of apartment hunting. She used the newspaper that was left on the steps at the house. Charlie looked through her newspaper and went through many tours to many different apartments. Compared to others, Charlie was running out of options. Some were too expensive for her price range and some that were cheaper than she could afford were disgusting and worse than the situation she was in now. She sat in her car with her head on the steering wheel and banged her head gently a few times. "This is hopeless." she said to herself again and again. It was enough to set her up for a bad rest of the day. Feeling defeated, she decided to call it a day and give up.

On her way home, her mind began to wander again and her subconcious was a little out of sorts. She missed a turn going to her house and when she finally realized that she did, she ended up passing a "House for Rent" sign outside of a beautiful Ranch style house. Knowing that she probably wouldn't be able to afford it, she debated whether or not to attempt to see it. She decided last minute that it wouldn't hurt to try and pulled into the driveway and walked up to the open house and began to look around. It was perfect and had everything she could ever want. It had two bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room and dining room. It came equipped with a washer and dryer and even a fixed basement. Charlie was amazed and even mesmerized as she continued to walk around looking. So much so that as she took a sharp corner, she accidently bumped into another woman nearly knocking them both down.

"Oh my God. I am so sorry." she said putting her hand on the woman's arm gently. "I'm such a clutz and didn't see you..wait a minute..Don't I know you?" she asked curiously.
