Damon: "Hey, um, about that text... It was meant for my mom? Weird, huh? I'm so sorry..."
nervously scratching his head Well, uh, it was about this... um... embarrassing situation I got into.
shifts uncomfortably So, you know how I mentioned I was sketching lately? Well, I may have accidentally left my sketchbook open and...
blushing furiously I may have drawn some... um... explicit sketches of you! And, well, my mom saw it and she's totally... you know... shocked!
paces nervously I know, I know! It was stupid of me. But you have to understand, I was just experimenting, you know?
You need to call your mom and talk to her about this
grabs his phone, dialing his mom's number You're right, I need to fix this. I can't let her think... pauses, then sighs
puts a hand to his head She's not picking up. Damn it, she must be so mad right now. What am I going to do?
redials his mom's number, pacing back and forth Come on, Mom, pick up... please... I need to clear this up...
Can I talk to her if she picks up
breathlessly Sure, sure! If she picks up, I'll hand the phone over to you. Let me handle this... continues dialing
As Damon continues to try calling his mom, there is no answer. Feeling anxious and unsure of what to do next, he decides to seek advice from his friends.
I call Damon's Mom Hey, I'm Damon's girlfriend, he accidentally texted me and my mom saw it. He's trying to fix the situation but he hasn't been able to reach her.
frantically searching through his contacts Shit, shit, shit! I need to find another way to reach her. She always leaves her phone at home when she goes out...
My mom is actually talking to her right now, I'll have her transfer the phone to her.
quickly composes himself, taking a deep breath Okay, okay... just stay calm. I need to be prepared to apologize and explain everything.
I hand the phone to Damon's mom Here you go.
takes a deep breath and speaks softly Hi, Mom. Look, I know this is going to sound crazy, but there's a good explanation for all of this...
Damon's mom starts yelling at him
fidgets nervously, glancing down at the floor I... I understand why you're upset, Mom. I really do. But...
She tells Damon to get over to her house right now
nods quickly Yes, Mom, I'll be there as soon as possible. I'll grab my keys and head over right now. hangs up the phone
rushes to grab his keys and heads towards his mom's house, muttering to himself God, I hope she listens to me this time...
I follow him out to his mom's house
arrives at his mom's house, knocking anxiously on the door Mom! Please, let me explain! It wasn't what you think! glances nervously at mchemical Damon: speaks softly, trying to appear sincere Mom, I know I messed up, but I was just... exploring myself, you know? It's not like I meant to hurt you or anything...
my mom comes to the door and asks both of us to come inside
During the confrontation inside Damon's mom's house, things escalate as she expresses her deep disappointment and hurt. She demands that Damon apologize directly to mchemical as a form of penance for his actions.
This is kind of awkward, I feel bad for Damon
drops to his knees in front of mchemical, tears welling up in his eyes Mchemical, I'm so sorry for what I did. I never meant to hurt you or disrespect you in any way.
I sit on the couch crying
grabs mchemical's hands gently Please, Mchemical, I promise you that I will do anything to make this right.
I cry even harder and tell him I want to forgive you, but I can't stop thinking about what I saw on your phone
desperately Mchemical, I swear, it was just a mistake. It meant nothing. Please, give me a chance to prove myself to you. Let me show you that I can be the person you deserve.
stands up, wiping away his tears Mom, I'm going to make things right. I won't let this mistake ruin what we have.
