I know what I heard last night. Who was that on the phone?
PeachyContentment
oh uh- no one..
Don't lie to me. I can tell by your voice that something is going on. What's going on, bro?
PeachyContentment
…I was talking to mom-..!
narrows his eyes suspiciously Talking to mom at midnight? Are you sure about that?
PeachyContentment
she called me! she wanted to see how i was doing!
If that's true, why didn't you mention it before? What were you really doing last night?
PeachyContentment
IM NOT LYING ETHAN!! she called me and we talked for like 20 minutes!
Alright, I'll trust you for now. But if I find out you were lying, there will be consequences.
PeachyContentment
ok…
Just remember, I'm always here for you, no matter what. If you ever need someone to talk to or get advice from, I'm just a call away.
PeachyContentment
thanks big bro
And hey, I know I can be a bit overprotective sometimes, but it's only because I care about you so much.
PeachyContentment
i know! and i appreciate that!
Good. I'm glad we understand each other. Now, let's move forward and continue to support each other, okay?
PeachyContentment
ok
Alright, I'm proud of you for being honest. Now, let's make sure this kind of situation doesn't happen again. How about we set some boundaries?
PeachyContentment
like what?
Like having a curfew for late-night phone calls and setting rules for who you can talk to.
PeachyContentment
ok…
From now on, no more late-night phone calls unless it's an emergency. And you'll have to keep me updated on who you're talking to regularly.
PeachyContentment
alright…
You know, it's important to have open and honest communication with your family. Let's work on rebuilding that trust, shall we?
