I've been in a relationship with my boyfriend for a little less than a year. My parents have met him a couple of times and they think he's a great guy. Unfortunately, my parents have had to deal with my older sister and her (many) boy drama, and that has led them to be stricter and more weary about boys in general.

My boyfriend has told his mother that he loves me and it's really touching. She's perfectly fine with it even though he and I did have a little rough patch a while back. What happened today was completely nerve wrecking. My mom was with me while I was showing her some emails when all of a sudden my Mac started showing previews of some text messages that my boyfriend and I had sent to each other earlier that day. He was telling me how much he loved me and how he couldn't wait to have lunch with me again. I know I'm pretty young (I'm only a senior in high school) but I've confessed my love for him too.

What got me worrying was that I never told my parents about it, and all of a sudden, that incident happened. I think I overheard my mom talking about it later with my stepdad. I don't know, I might be a little paranoid right now. I just don't know what I would do if my parents did pop up the question about it. What should I say?
