No Apologies From Helen
Helen stood her ground with her arms crossed, wearing a mask of defiance that only deepened the tension in the room. “I don’t see what the big deal is,” she said, her indifferent tone slicing through the silence. “It was just a little joke.” Her dismissal hung in the air, hollow and insincere. Jake exhaled sharply, shaking his head with a mix of disbelief and frustration. “A joke?” he replied, voice firm and controlled. “You think humiliating her is funny?” Her refusal to acknowledge the hurt she caused made the moment feel even colder, emphasizing just how empty her excuses really were.

Deciding Enough Is Enough
The car ride home was steeped in heavy silence, each of us replaying the night’s events in our heads. Finally, unable to keep my thoughts contained, I spoke with newfound resolve. “We can’t let her get away with this anymore.” Jake nodded, tightening his grip on the steering wheel as he absorbed my words. “I agree,” he said, his voice steady. “Alex shouldn’t have to grow up thinking that kind of behavior is normal.” In that quiet moment, we both realized something had to change—Helen’s hurtful antics could no longer be ignored or excused.
