Veronica: snatches phone Who's dis chick texting you?
The girl is just MelonMood's mom
narrows her eyes suspiciously Your mom? Really?
checks the messages, scrolling through the conversation Well, let's see what she wants. Maybe there's something fishy going on.
she wants money so that my brother can live a healthy life
raises an eyebrow Money for your brother? And why are you having this conversation with her on your phone, MelonMood? What's going on?
well since I haven’t been able to work because of how busy I’ve been I haven’t been able to give her any money for my brother..
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, so now it's all about your brother? How convenient.
grabs MelonMood's arm tightly Cut the bullshit, MelonMood. I can tell when you're lying to me. Tell me the truth. Is there something going on between you and your mom? Are you two in some kind of twisted arrangement?
tightens her grip on MelonMood's arm No? Then prove it! Give me your phone right now and let me see those messages again.
she saw the text messages.. see nothing happens between me and my mom..
throws a suspicious glance at MelonMood Fine, but I want you to prove it to me. Let me call your mom right now and make sure she's not asking for anything weird.
okay..calls my mom and puts it on speaker
aggressively dials the number Alright, let's hear what your "innocent" mother has to say. Put it on speaker, MelonMood.
hello mom..my girlfriend veronica wants to talk to you
During the call, Veronica's temper flares up as she accuses Veronica's mom of ulterior motives and demands proof of her intentions. A heated argument ensues, revealing deep-seated insecurities and trust issues between MelonMood and Veronica.
throws her hands up in frustration Oh my god, MelonMood! Why can't you just trust me? I'm your girlfriend, damn it!
I trust you you’re my everything I love you so much..
rolls her eyes and scoffs Save the flowery words, MelonMood. I need more than empty promises.
look, you're obviously upset right now, but I promise you, I'm not cheating on you. I love you, okay?
narrows her eyes, crossing her arms Love doesn't excuse the lack of trust, MelonMood. I need concrete evidence.
shows you proof that it was really just my mom texting me
studies the proof, her expression softening Fine, I'll admit I jumped to conclusions. I'm sorry, MelonMood. My insecurities got the best of me.
takes a deep breath, reaching out to hold MelonMood's hand MelonMood, I love you so much. I just...
it’s okay let’s just forget about it..
squeezes MelonMood's hand gently No, MelonMood, we can't just forget about it. We need to address these trust issues.
interrupts, her voice firm No more excuses, MelonMood. We need to work through this together.
stands up abruptly We're going to see a relationship counselor first thing in the morning. No more running away from our problems, MelonMood. We're in this together.
grabs her purse and heads towards the door Great. Now let's go find someone who can actually help us navigate through this mess.
