Although I knew that Sally had texted Christian... I had no choice but to feign ignorance before him.
He finally stopped messing with his phone. I wonder what he and Sally texted about... but I guess I missed my chance to find out. Uh, oh... seems like the adult cavalry is marching in.
Mona: Wish me luck.
Christian: Just offer to blow a breathalyzer, and you'll be good!
Mona: Not funny!
(Christian walks off with a smirk and Mark steps in.)
Mona: So um... I guess Tyler said some not so nice things about Cheri, and Derek defended her.
Mark: What do you mean by "not-so-nice" things?
Mona: Um... it had to do with them hooking up, I'm not totally sure of the details.
Mark: You can't kill a 17-year old... Mark you can't kill a 17-year old... well, I am going to get to the bottom of this and if Derek was defending my girl from some little jerk... I'll pay for his hospital bill.
Mona: He was. He... really cares about Cheri.
Mark: Cheri's mother is on her way. I'm going to go meet her in the parking lot. [Walks off]
Shawn: Are you okay?
Mona: I'm fine. Just a long night.
Shawn: Tell me about it. [Puts hand in face]
Mona: What do you mean?
Shawn: Your mother and I were just dealing with a few things ourselves when we got the call.
Mona: Like what? Is everything okay?
Shawn: Why don't you go talk to her. She should be the one to tell you...
A few minutes later...
Max: I'll kill that little jerk! How dare he lay a hand on my son's perfect face?!
Twinkle: It's okay, Max. Let's find out the story before we jump to conclusions.
Max: Jump to conclusions?! My son is in there bleeding!
Twinkle: I know. I'm so sorry. We'll figure things out and then handle it together.
Max: I'm going back to his room, the pain meds should have kicked in by now. Meet me in there?
Twinkle: Yes, I'll be right there.
(Mona steps in and off goes Max to see Derek.)
Mona: Max doesn't look happy.
Twinkle: Well, Derek's never been in a fight before, Max and Curtis are completely shocked. What happened, Mona?
Mona: Well, you know how I told you Cheri has a crush on Tyler Durban?
Twinkle: Yeah.
Mona: Well... don't tell anyone, but... Tyler was interested in her too, but just for one night, if you know what I mean. Derek found out and confronted Tyler... things got ugly.
