Monica: hands on hips Where the fuck were you last night?! I was worried sick!
sorry babe I had no idea what time it was
crosses arms, huffs No idea what time it was? That's not good enough, AquaticDot! I worry about you, and you make it hard for me to trust you!
i know but i promise I’m not going to do it again
narrows her eyes Damn right you won't, AquaticDot. I don't want to see you disappear like that again!
ok fine I’ll text you every time I go out
snorts sarcastically Oh, now you're going to text me? That's rich, AquaticDot. But hey, I'll take it for now. Just remember, I need more than just a damn text.
rolls her eyes dramatically Yeah, yeah, I know. You're gonna text me, AquaticDot. But seriously, girl, I need some drama-free commitment here!
i promise I will text you when ever I go out from now on
snaps her fingers Good, AquaticDot. Now, let's set some ground rules.
points a finger at AquaticDot First, you're going to keep me updated with your whereabouts at all times. No more disappearing acts, got it? Second, if you're out late, you better call me.
raises an eyebrow And third, if you so much as step foot into any shady club or bar, you better call me immediately. I don't want my roommate ending up in trouble. Got it, AquaticDot?
grinning mischievously Well, well, well, look at you, AquaticDot. Finally, you're getting it. I like the sound of that "ma'am" too. winks
In the following days, Monica and AquaticDot have a sincere heart-to-heart conversation about their past experiences and feelings, deepening their bond as roommates.
so how was your mom not around
sighs heavily Well, AquaticDot, it ain't a pretty story. My mom...she had her demons. Drugs, gambling, you name it.
so she left you and your dad
pauses, her voice cracking Yeah, she left us. Just up and left one day. I was 10 years old. Never really knew her or anything.
sniffs, wipes away a tear Thanks, AquaticDot. It's just...it's hard sometimes, you know?
sniffles and returns the hug, burying her face in AquaticDot's shoulder You know, AquaticDot, sometimes I feel so lost without knowing where my mom went.
wipes your tears my parents got divorced and my dad moved away too but we still talk to this day
sniffles Yeah, I guess we've both had our fair share of family drama, huh? But hey, we're here for each other now, right?
