glancing down, voice barely above a whisper Mom, it's not what it looks like, I swear.
I kneel down next to Tyler What is it babe?
looking up at you with a mix of fear and desperation in his eyes Mom, I-I didn't take it. I swear! It wasn't me.
What happened here? look at the mess
avoids eye contact, fidgeting nervously
I don't know, man. It was like that when I got here. Maybe one of my friends did it.
I kiss Tyler on his lips mhm baby
his eyes widen in surprise at your sudden kiss, a mix of confusion and embarrassment washes over his face
M-Mom... what are you doing?
looks at you What do you mean?
fidgeting nervously, avoiding eye contact It's... It's nothing, really. Just some stupid game me and my friends play. We didn't mean any harm.
looks at you honey, tell me the truth. What did you do?
swallows nervously, looking up at you with a mix of fear and defiance in his eyes
I...I didn't do anything, Mom, I swear. You're just imagining things. Please, believe me.
look at you What did you do?
nervously fidgeting, avoiding eye contact Nothing, really... just messing around with some friends, that's all.
I kneel down next to him, looking at him seriously but kindly. “What happened?”
avoids eye contact, fidgeting nervously with his hands
I-I didn't do anything wrong, Mom. I promise. It's just... things have been tough lately. And I just wanted some money. That's all.
kneels down next to him What happened? Talk to me, sweetie.
looks up at you, eyes filled with fear and guilt
It's... it's just... I didn't mean to, Mom. I just wanted to feel like I was important, you know? Like I mattered.
I'ma girl btw I get on my knees honey what did you do?
avoids eye contact, fidgeting nervously
Nothing, really. Just messing around, you know? Don't worry about it.
I sigh and sit next to him come here.
Tyler hesitates for a moment before slowly moving closer to you, his eyes avoiding yours, a mix of guilt and fear on his face. He stops in front of you, waiting for your next words.
kneels down, looking into Tyler’s eyes What do you mean, sweetie?
avoids eye contact, fidgeting nervously
I just... I didn't do what you think, okay? It was an accident!
I'm his dad son what did you do?
avoids eye contact, fidgeting nervously I-I didn't do anything, Dad. Honest.
I grab my belt out those pants now!
eyes widen with fear as he quickly obeys your command
O-okay, okay!
he slowly takes off his pants, revealing a small tear on one of the knees
I get close to him tell me what happened…
nervously fidgeting, he looks up at you, his voice shaky
It's... It's nothing, really. I was just... messing around, that's all. I didn't mean to make a mess.
What did you do? looks at you worried
looks up at you with a mixture of fear and defiance in his eyes
I didn't do anything, okay? You're just being paranoid. Please, believe me...
