Texting your future college roommate from the airport aft...

Conversation

1. Did you just post a TikTok wearing my dad's medals?
2. What? No I would never post that.
3. Which TikTok is this?
4. It has 1.2M views and caption 'found at estate sale lol'.
5. Estate sale? I said thrift, not estate.
6. Those medals have been in my drawer since dad died.
7. Are you talking about the purple ribbon ones?
8. Yes, the ones from his deployment parade.
9. I borrowed them for a photo shoot last month.
10. You borrowed without asking, Jules.
11. You weren't home when I said I'd return them.
12. You left with them and then posted them online.
13. Can someone drop the video link here?
14. I DM'd the original clip to both of you.
15. I didn't realize they'd go viral, I panicked.
16. The video even tagged our dorm house.
17. My address was on the shipping box they took to campus.
18. You literally leave boxes unlocked, it wasn't hard.
19. They are my dad's commendations, not random costume jewelry.
20. I was there that night and I can explain everything.
21. Then explain why you joked 'what a score' in the clip.
22. I said that as sarcasm to the filmer, not celebration.
23. The filmer thanked Jules in the comments and wrote 'thanks em'.
24. I begged them to take the clip down immediately.
25. If you begged, why did it stay up for days?
26. Someone saved it and it's already reposted everywhere.
27. I'm at the airport shaking and I can't believe this.
28. Please don't fly here, let us fix this before you arrive.
29. Fix how, Jules, when my dad wore those to ceremonies?
30. There's a DM selling them from account 'riverside_estate'.
31. Are you telling me my dad's medals are for sale?
32. I used them for content and then I panicked and lied.
33. She wanted followers, not to hurt you, believe me.
34. This isn't followers, it's his life, and I want them back.
