-Phone conversation-

"Hey, honey! How was your first day?"

"You had me a little worried, not calling last night."

"Is everything okay?"

"Besides my mother betraying my trust and  tricking me into bunking with her best friend's son who she wants to set me up with?"

"Peachy..."

"How could you?!"

"Nickie, honey, let's take a deep breath and talk about this."

"Not a chance in hell!"

"What is wrong with you?!"

"You couldn't just leave well enough alone, could you?"

"Couldn't deal with me finally going out into the world by myself?"

"I'm proud that you're going after your dream honey."

"Could have fooled me, mother. I'm not even living there and you're still making choices for me."

"Maybe if you went after your own dreams you wouldn't be trying to achieve them through me."

"I'm sorry but no, that's not at all how I look at you."

"I don't even know if I like oranges or if you told me I do?!"

"Do I really want to be at college, at THIS college?"

"I'm literally questioning my entire life at this point."

"Nickie I just don't understand why you're so angry with me."

"Tell me so I can fix it."

"You can't fix this mother."

"I'm angry because you deliberately set me up with Clark. A guy that YOU want me to be with."

"You're trying to fix me and it's not going to happen. I'm not broken and I'm NOT interested. I don't care how dreamy his smile is."

"You...think his smile is dreamy???"

"Pft...NO!"

"He's quite a good looking young man Nickie. I wouldn't fault you for taking a peek."

"Eww! Just stop talking. Okay?"

"And as always you only heard what you wanted to hear."

"My body will have to be cold and dead on the floor before I ever do what you want."

"I really wish you wouldn't say things like that, Nickie."

"Why? Does it make you sad to think of your only child's untimely demise?"

"Actually yes, it does."

"No parent should outlive their baby."

"Whatever you say, mother."

"Nicolette Fey Boyer. I raise you better than this."

"I won't ask for an apology because I know you're incapable of giving it but you better not be copping this attitude with anyone else. Especially that boy."

"Sorry to break it to you mother but that boy is more than capable of fending off my attitude."

"He doesn't need your help."

"He's not the one I'm trying to help."

"..."

"Just...stop."

"Your help is unwanted and all it ever does is mess everything up."

"So you can stop."

"Nickie I..."

"Love you..."

So...Nick's a little angry...

Can you blame her? 😅
