Reminder: This is my very first Sims 4 family, which was originally posted back in 2015. I’m in the process of moving these posts over from my Tumblr page. See more info here!
Trent and Danielle wake up the next morning very much aware that today is the day when they have to face the consequences of their actions…
Trent: It’s time to go.
Danielle: I need a minute…
Trent and Danielle use that minute to share a kiss.
Danielle: That won’t be happening again for a long time once we get home.
Trent: Yeah, but we brought it on ourselves.
Danielle: I guess we should have thought this through…
Trent: Yeah
Danielle: You know…we can stay here one more day…go straight to school tomorrow…then go home after that.
Trent: No, let’s just get this over with. Let’s take one picture to celebrate our delinquency!
Danielle: Okay
After making sure that Danielle gets home, Trent stands outside the house reflecting on all that occurred over the past day. It briefly puts a smile on his face. Then he takes a deep breath and walks into his house. The first thing he sees is Greg’s angry face.
Mitzi doesn’t waste any time…
Mitzi: I’m furious at you boy! Do you even understand what you put me through…what you put this family through? You know I have a wild imagination…you can’t even begin to know the number of things that I imagined happened to you! Anything could have happened and you have the audacity to ignore my texts and phone calls!! I can’t even…
The room goes silent when Ray walks into the room. Although he’s ordinarily hot-headed…he walks in unusually calm. That worries Mitzi…
Mitzi: You okay Ray?
Raymond: It’s taking everything in me to remain calm right now…so you have about a minute to make me understand why you thought it was reasonable for you to leave my house…with a girl, and not let us know where you’re going and when you’ll be back. Help me understand that…
Trent: Uh…
Raymond: Oh…so you don’t have any answers now? I bet you had plenty to say out alone somewhere with that girl…didn’t you?
Trent is afraid to say anything, so he looks to his mother for help. Mitzi doesn’t come to his rescue this time. She appears to be waiting for an explanation as well.
Trent: I thought I was doing the right thing dad…Danielle came to me saying that she was having problems at home. When she said that she was going to run away…I just couldn’t imagine her leaving alone. It’s not safe.
Raymond: Did it occur to you to try and talk her out of it?
Trent: Uh…not really.
Raymond: Haven’t we taught you to come to us when you’re not sure what to do in a situation?
Trent: Yeah dad, but you also taught me that as a man…I’m supposed to take care of my own. When you first met mom…wouldn’t you have done anything to help her out if she was having a problem?
Raymond: Of course I would have done anything for your mother…and I still would, but the difference is, I was grown when your mother and I met. You are a minor…which means that we are responsible for you. Running off is not a decision that two teens should be making.
Trent: I know…I’m sorry dad.
Raymond: Oh…you’re not done being sorry yet. Since you decided that you can make grown man decisions…then that tells me that you’re ready to take on grown man responsibilities. You obviously have too much time on your hands, since you were able to plan escapades and stuff… so you can use that time working. I want you to find a job.
Trent: A job?
Raymond: Yep…a job. *to Mitzi* That sound good to you babe?
Mitzi: Yep
Raymond: *to Trent* Either you find one yourself or I will find one for you. From now on…you come home from school, get your homework done…go to work and come straight home. Got it?
Trent: Yes sir
Raymond: Good! Go to your room!
Trent sits on his bed; thinking that the yelling is over. At least until Greg comes into the room…
Gregory: I just want you to know that you completely ruined my birthday!
Trent: I know Greg…I’m sorry. I forgot.
Gregory: I’m sorry doesn’t make up for it! Mom was around here frantically making phone calls…running up and down the block looking for you! She almost totally forgot I was even here.
Trent: Okay Greg…I get it. I feel bad, but there’s nothing I can do about it now. If there’s something I can do to make it up to you… let me know and I’ll do it!
Gregory: I will…I definitely will!
Trent: Okay…can you leave now?
Trent: Hi Kisha…are you here to yell at me too?
Kisha: No…I’m just glad that you’re okay! *gives Trent a hug*
Trent: So sorry I made you worry!
Danielle’s text: still alive?
Trent’s text: Yep – for now? You?
Danielle’s text: went better than I thought…my mom cried and we talked
Trent’s text: Good. I gotta get a job.
Danielle’s text: oh
Trent’s text: It’s ok, could’ve been worse
Danielle’s text: yeah – gotta go, mom’s calling ttyl
Trent’s text: TTYL
