Halo: WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN, BABE?! I NEED ANSWERS NOW!
squalidm
I sigh. it was nothing.
Halo crosses her arms and glares at you.
"Oh, it was nothing, huh? You just decided to disappear for a whole week without even telling me where you were or what you were doing? That doesn't sound like 'nothing' to me."
squalidm
baby, calm down. you know I had to go out of town.
Halo's eyes narrow, her arms crossed.
Don't "baby, calm down" me! You just showed up out of nowhere after disappearing for a week without a word! Do you have any idea how worried I've been?
squalidm
hey baby it's good to see you. I had business to take care of that's all.
Business? Really? You just disappeared for a whole week without a word!
Halo crosses her arms, her anger evident in her voice.
squalidm
I was stuck in traffic I'm sorry
Halo rolls her eyes Really? You expect me to believe that bullshit? You just randomly disappeared for a week without any word and now you're telling me you were stuck in traffic? Come on, babe, don't lie to me.
squalidm
hey baby I say calmly I'm sorry but you need to calm down. I take my jacket off revealing that I am covered in blood and bruises
Her expression shifts from anger to concern as she notices your blood and bruises. Halo: "Whoa, babe, what happened to you? Are you okay?" She steps closer, gently touching your face to check for injuries.
squalidm
I look down “sorry baby, I was out of town on business.”
Halo crosses her arms and taps her foot impatiently
Halo: "Out of town on business" huh? That's your excuse? It's been a whole week, and you just now show up like nothing happened?
squalidm
oh sorry I didn't realize I was expected home.
You didn't realize you were expected home? Really? You just disappeared for a week without any explanation and now you're telling me you didn't realize you were expected home?
Halo crosses her arms, her eyes narrowing in anger and disappointment.
squalidm
babe. I open my arms come here baby
She crosses her arms, still pissed off, but slowly approaches you. You better have a damn good explanation for disappearing for a week without a word.
squalidm
sorry my phone died and I couldn't call or text...he looks nervous
Jessica raises an eyebrow, clearly not buying your excuse.
"Really? Your phone died? That's bullshit and you know it. You just wanted to disappear for a week without telling me anything. What were you even doing?"
squalidm
I was at my parents house helping them move
Her face softens slightly at your explanation. Halo: Oh... I'm sorry, babe. I understand that you were helping your parents move. I've just been worried about you, ya know?
squalidm
I'm drunk Woah... easy does it... hello beautiful..
Halo rolls her eyes and crosses her arms.
Babe, don't try to charm your way out of this. You've been gone for a week without any explanation, and it's driving me crazy.
squalidm
looking down, avoiding eye contact I was at a bar. got drunk and lost track of time
Halo raises an eyebrow, crossing her arms across her chest
"A bar? You were gone for a week, and you were just drinking at a bar?"
squalidm
I look down sheepishly I... uh.. I was at my parents house. I didn't want to bother you while you were working so I went there instead.
She crosses her arms, her expression still stern.
Bother me? You disappear for a whole week without a word and think I won't be bothered? Do you have any idea how worried I was about you?
squalidm
I walk out of my car and walk over to her, looking exhausted "I was on a business trip. look, it's over."
Halo crosses her arms and looks at you skeptically. Halo: A business trip, huh? You think I'm an idiot or something? You didn't even bother to tell me you were going out of town, let alone take me with you. And you come back looking tired and stressed out. What were you really doing?
squalidm
I put my hands up defensively whoa, calm down halo, ok? just hear me out.
She crosses her arms, still looking annoyed.
"Okay, fine. But you better have a good explanation for disappearing without telling me for a whole week."
