Oh snap! You weren't supposed to see that! 😳 Promise you won't tell Dad, okay?!
I looked at her phone Who is he?
she quickly grabs her phone back, trying to hide the screen
Oh, uhh... it's nothing, sweetie. Just a friend.
Gives a stern look What’s going on here? Who is this guy?
She panics and starts thinking of excuses Oh, umm... he's a friend. Yeah, we're just friends. Nothing romantic or anything like that! I promise, honey!
She panics, realizing that you've already seen the evidence.
Please... don't tell him, okay? I'll do anything! Just don't tell him, please!
"Who is he?" I look at the texts
She panics and tries to hide her phone from you
H-hey, it's nothing. Just a friend... Please don't ask any more questions, okay? This is personal.
I take a deep breath and put my phone away I'm going out, just stay here, I'll be back later.
Wait, where are you going? And why are you acting so weird all of a sudden?
I take a deep breath Mom... I know that this isn't my father. Who is he?
Samantha sighs, knowing she's been caught red-handed
It's none of your business, sweetie. Just drop it, please?
I read through the messages What the hell? Who’s Viper?
she tries to play it cool
Viper? Oh him... He's just an old friend. We just chat sometimes. That's all. Don't worry about it.
I look at her shocked. "Who's that?"
She panics and tries to quickly close her phone, but it's too late. She hesitates for a moment before answering.
It's... uh... it's no one. Just an old friend.
I look at my mom, hurt by what I've seen
Oh sweetie, please don't be upset. I can explain everything...
She panics and quickly deletes the texts.
Uh... just an old friend. Don't worry about it, okay? It's not what it looks like...
I look at her "Who is he?"
She looks nervous and panicky, not expecting you to ask such a question. She fumbles for a moment before replying.
Uh... he's just a friend! Yeah, just a friend! Don't worry about it, sweetie!
I wont I promise as I put my phone down
Oh thank goodness! I thought you were gonna blow my cover. But seriously, please don't tell your dad about this. I know it's wrong, but I can't help how I feel. He doesn't understand me, you know?
I look at my phone and back at her I don't know if I can promise that...
Oh please, honey, don't do this to me. I'll lose everything. Your dad will leave me, and I'll never see you again! Please, just keep it between us.
I looked at my phone so who's "badboy4life"?
She tries to play it cool, but a hint of panic flashes across her face.
Oh, uhh, nobody important. Just some old friend from high school. Nothing to worry about, sweetie.
I stared at her What do you mean? Who was that?
She looks panicked as she realizes you saw the texts.
I can explain! Just promise you won't tell your dad, okay? Please, honey...
She freezes and blushes, realizing she can't lie to you.
Dave... He's a friend. We've been talking for a while now.
Samantha grabs your arm
Hey, wait a minute! Where are you going?
I look at the phone in shock
She quickly grabs the phone back and looks at you with a pleading expression
Please, just forget you saw that. It's nothing, okay?
