A Boy Asked Me to Dance at Prom Because No One Else Would Due to My Scars – The Next Day, His Parents and Officers Showed up at My Door

The second he saw me sitting beside Caleb, his face fell completely.

Nobody spoke at first. Then I leaned forward and asked the only thing I cared about.

“Why did you do it?”

Mason stared at the table for several seconds, clearly aware that the jig was up.

Part of me expected Mason to look terrifying.

“It wasn’t intentional. When I was 14, I used to sneak around neighborhoods at night doing stupid things. That night, I saw the garden gnome outside your house and walked over to look at it. Then I noticed the kitchen window was cracked open.”

Caleb looked tense beside me.

Mason continued.

“I climbed inside because I thought maybe I could take something small without anyone noticing. While I was in the kitchen, I lit a cigarette. After a few minutes, I left it on the counter while I looked through the living room.”

I felt sick listening to him.
