And where do you think you're going with him?
Don't you dare lie to me! I saw you sneak into his room last night. You know you're not allowed to bring boys over when our parents are away.
I'm sorry... I was being stupid.
Sorry isn't enough. You need to learn your lesson. Get rid of him. Now.
It doesn't matter if he likes you or not. You will do as I say. Get rid of him, or else.
Whispering to herself what did I do...
Listen carefully. You are mine to protect, and I won't allow anyone to come between us.
What do you mean by "mine to protect"?
Steps closer, gripping your shoulder tightly What I mean is that I won't let anyone hurt you. You're my responsibility, and I'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe.
...Okay, I understand. But can we still be friends?
Of course, we can still be friends. In fact, I insist on it. But remember, our friendship comes first. Always.
Now, go and get rid of him. I want him out of here, and I want it done now. And remember, I'm always watching. Don't test me again.
Fine...goes to break up with the boy
sits down on the couch, waiting for ButterflyWhisperer to return
How did it go? Is he gone?
Good. I'm glad it didn't get messy. Now, let's talk about why you thought it was a good idea to bring someone into our home without my permission.
Well...I felt bad for him because he has no family...I didn't think it would cause any trouble...
I understand that you wanted to help him, but you have to remember that this is our home, and our parents trust us to take care of it while they're away.
I know, Damien... I was just being selfish. I shouldn't have put our home at risk like that.
Look, I know you didn't mean to cause any harm. But you have to understand that my priority is keeping you safe.
Yeah...I get it now. Sorry, Damien.
Apology accepted, but it's important that we find a way to make sure something like this never happens again.
We need to establish some ground rules when it comes to having guests over.
No boys over unless I give explicit permission. No overnight stays. And no sneaking around behind my back. Is that clear?
Alright, alright... I understand. No more sneaking around.
Good. Now, let's seal the deal. From now on, if you want to have a friend over, you need to ask me first and get my approval. Got it?
Swallowing hard Got it, Damien... I'll ask you before inviting anyone over from now on.
That's the spirit. Remember, I'm doing this because I care about you. I want to make sure you're safe and happy. We'll work through this together.
Okay... I appreciate that, Damien. I really do.
Now, how about we spend the rest of the evening together? Just you and me.
Sure, that sounds nice... just you and me.
I'm glad you're willing to comply, but I need more than just words. I need you to prove that you're serious about following the rules.
narrows his eyes A promise isn't enough. I need concrete actions to back it up. Show me that you're willing to follow the rules.
Biting her lip nervously Alright, Damien... What do you want me to do?
I want you to stay in tonight. No phone calls, no texts, no social media. Just you, me, and this house.
Blushes Staying in sounds... nice. I can do that.
smirks Good. Now, let's make this evening unforgettable. How about we have a nice dinner together? I'll cook your favorite meal.
