I didn't have a chance to tell Theresa about my change in college plans. I'd planned to talk to her at the dance, but there was this big musical number and then Natalia's solo turned into a death scene. I...I can't get that image out of my head. There was nothing we could do to save her. She just...she burned right in front of us and I can't

*pulls up at Nicks. walks up step and knocks on door*

*smiles when he answers*

Hi!

[nicholas_baker]

*kisses her cheek*

How was work?

*closes the door behind her*

You ran the car through the car wash. Keep this up and my dad is going to tell you to keep it because you take better care of it than I do.

[theresa_trejo]

*smiles*

Work was okay. Everyones a little freaked out. Not that I like blame them or anything.

*grins*

Well! It needed to be washed. It was the least I could for you letting me take it to work today.

*takes off jacket*

So how was your day?

[nicholas_baker]

Helped Dad with some of filing. Got to love tax season around here. Just don't make eye contact with him or any sudden movements and everything will be fine.

*sits down on the couch, wraps his arm around her when she sits beside him*

Mom convinced him to go out for dinner tonight so i'm kind of expecting to hear Hell froze over again.

*changes the subject*

So, I've been meaning to talk to you about college and stuff.

[nicholas_baker]

Tres, I've never lied to you. I'm not going to start now.

I pushed myself to get into Stanford and the other schools because...like I said, it was what I thought the perfect kid was supposed to do. There was a time I wanted to go to Oxford just to get away from my parents overprotectiveness.

Things change. I finally realize that what I've been wanting...it's all here. My parents, you, Marcus, you guys are my lifeline, and this is where I am happiest. Besides, as an EMT, I get the chance to really save people. That's the entire reason I want to be a doctor.

[theresa_trejo]

Are you sure, Nick?

*looks at him*

You have the chance to get out of here. No more hellmouth, no more spontaneous singing that sometimes leads to burning up. No more vamps. You could get away from all that. Are you sure you wanna stay?

[nicholas_baker]

Positive.

As long as you, your family and my family are here? I want to stay.

Besides, Gabby was never okay with me leaving for school.

*smiles*

[theresa_trejo]

Yes and we all know what Gabby wants, Gabby gets.

*laughs. starts thinking about everything*

So you're really staying? You and Marcus are gonna be EMTS? But if you are staying why wouldn't you just stay here? Have you told your parents yet?

[nicholas_baker]

I don't know. A retriever or a lab or something.

*smiles*

You know Lancelot. He stays where Guin and Arthur are.

[theresa_trejo]

Awww. I always wanted a golden retriever.

*smiles than make a face*

Okay, am I totally an awful person for being happy that you two aren't leaving me? I mean you're giving up Stanford.

[nicholas_baker]

Stanford isn't anything special, Theresa.

*leans in and kisses her*

This is my home. Here with you.

[theresa_trejo]

*wraps arms around him and kisses him*

I love you, Nick.
