Love, Mona. #2

The First Time

Welcome to the most dramatic moment of my life so far. I got drunk at the after party, and when I came back home... my welcoming committee gave me one hell of a welcome.

Shawn:  For the first time ever... I can honestly say that I am disappointed in you. Your mother and I trusted you, and you just walked all over us.

Mona:  I'm sorry. I didn't see any harm in going to an after party.

Shawn:  And getting completely wasted?! I can smell the alcohol on your breath.

Mona:  Yes, I had a drink! Did you remain completely sober at parties as a teenager?

Shawn:  I didn't, but I also dropped out of high school. The last thing I want for you is to follow in my footsteps.

Mona:  That's not fair! I won't drop out of school just because of one little party. Do you think Mark is treating Cheri like this?

Shawn:  What Mark and Cheri do is none of my business.

Mona:  Yeah, well... I'm done talking about me! I had a bad enough night as it was, I don't need to hear it from you, too!

Shawn:  Why are you talking to me this way? I feel like I don't even recognize my own daughter!

Mona:  Your daughter is a woman now! That's the problem! [Crosses arms]

(Twinkle comes in.)

Twinkle:  Okay, that's enough. Shawn, why don't you go outside and get some air?

Shawn:  I'm not in the mood to chit-chat with Christian right now.

Twinkle:  Blair just came to get him... please, wait for us outside.

Shawn:  ... [Walks out]

Mona:  It's so unfair! No wonder I didn't date or do any normal teenage things before this. The second I have a bit of fun look what happens!

Twinkle:  Okay, first take a deep breath and please put yourself in your father's shoes. This is the first time you've ever...

Mona:  Let go a little bit? That's not an excuse for him to totally embarrass me in front of Christian. 

Twinkle:  I think you need to talk to your dad about Christian, talk about what's going on--

Mona:  He and I don't even know what's going on and I'm not ready to talk about it yet.

Twinkle:  But--

Mona:  CAN'T ANYONE UNDERSTAND THAT?! 

Twinkle:  Why don't you get some sleep? We'll talk about this in the morning. There's Advil in the bathroom, and make sure you have some water. [Walks off]

Great, I just yelled at my pregnant mother. I should just go to bed...

The next morning...

Yuck, I need to get out of these clothes... I don't plan on leaving the house today anyway. Which is good, because if anyone saw me in this, they would run away screaming. I guess I really won't be leaving this room today... now let's see...

(Texting-  Cheri:  I told you to tell them you were sleeping at my house.

(Texting-  Mona:  I know! I was so drunk that I forgot to call mom.
