Gusmas 2012 Title: Choking on the Truth Author:jule1122 Prompt" Do you wanna hold me?
“Hold up,” Debbie stops Brian as he tries to sneak up the stairs. She steps closer and spots the bruise on his cheek. “What happened, and don’t tell me you fell again.”

“I would if you’d let me,” Debbie ignores Brian’s snort. “But you won’t; so I’m calling your mother and telling her you’re staying for the weekend.”
