[Important: To know more about the character Jasmine Mitchell and her brother Nicky Mitchell, read my other story series Chronicles Of Nicky part1 and part2 since the protagonist in that story is Jasmine's brother.]

The alarm buzzed and Nicole got up with a swift moment. It was six in the morning and she had a lot of work to finish. Ever since Joseph left her, she had been having a difficult time raising her son who is 18 years old named Charlie. Every day she wakes up and makes both breakfast and lunch since buying food outside will add up her expenses and it will hurt her savings in the long run.
Nicole is a lawyer and works at a law firm named Johnny and Burger and she is earning just to meet her everyday expenses. But, she has some more problems to worry about. It is about her son Charlie. He is failing in more subjects now. She has tried to advise her son in many ways about their situation, but Charlie is not taking things seriously.
Charlie has already lost two years in school by failing to advance. So, he is 18 years old and sharing the classroom with juniors. His mother still believes in him and wants him to finish school and goto college.
It will go on like this, "Charlie, you have to atleast try to pass the subjects. We can't go on like this. Once you finish school, you should get into a decent college!"
"I know mom. I will do better the next time."
But the same thing gets repeated every time over and over again. With all the pressures and tension in her head, Nicole couldn't cope up with this. She finally burst one day "You selfish spoilt brat! When will you ever learn our situation and try to help? You have no heart just like your father."
"Then why did you give birth to me in the first place? You are selfish! You never understand! I try to do my best but I am unable to get things into my head!"
Then Charlie will start crying which will make Nicole cry and they will hug each other and cry together and console themselves by praying to god to make their situation better.
Finally, Nicole started saving some funds so that she could afford a private tutor to help Charlie with his studies.

Jasmine was almost done for the day and planned to depart to her home when her next door neighbour Nicole came in.
"Hello Mrs Nicole, It is nice to see you at our parlour. I think this is your first time."
"Oh hello dear, yes it is my first time at this parlour and I did not know that you work here. But it is a pleasure to see you here."
"Thanks Mrs Nicole. I was actually on my way home but since you came, I will do your hair today."
"Thanks Jasmine. It is very nice of you."
Jasmine wondered about Nicole's age since she could already see one or two grey hairs on her head. She could see that Nicole was worried about something as it reflected on her face clearly. But even though she looked old she was looking surprisingly attractive and her hair was also in good condition even if it showed her signs of worry through the premature grey hairs. She had dark black hair that came to her shoulders.
"Mrs Nicole, I think it will be better if you'll colour your hair. You do have a nice headful of hair but the grey hairs are not complementing your looks"
"Well, I have not been taking care of my looks as I did before. I think I'll start to do something about it from now on."
"Umm... Mrs Nicole. If you don't mind me asking, is something bothering you? You look unwell which is so unlike you. I remember you when I was a kid and you used to be so cheerful and I do know that you are divorced now. So, if there is anything I can do to help, please do ask."
"Thanks for the offer Jasmine. I do have some problems at home which is giving me a hard time. Everyone does. But it is about my son Charlie that I am worried about."
"What about him? He is still at school, right?"
"Yes. He is 18 and still at school. But he is doing very badly at school. No matter how hard I tell him, he is not making any progress in his studies. I am very much worried about his future. My finance's has been tight since Joseph left and I have been trying to save some money to hire someone to tutor Charlie."
"Oh... I am sorry to hear that Mrs Nicole. But I can help you by tutoring him for free in the evenings if you want?"
"That's nice of you dear but I am afraid I do not want to burden you with Charlie."
"It is not a big deal, Mrs Nicole. I am free during the evenings and to say the truth I am bored most days and just do my hair during my free time."
"If you still insist in helping Charlie, then I am very happy. Because you do not know how much it means to me, Jasmine."
"I am also happy to know that Mrs Nicole."

Charlie was in his room when his mom left for work at 7 pm. Charlie's mom works in the night at a local college where she teaches a course on Law. He knows that his mother is doing everything for the both of them. He just could not tell her the fact that he hated studying and no matter what he does, he could not perform well at school.
But Charlie did not want to hurt his mother's feelings so he kept quiet about it. Now, she has hired a tutor for him and he was not happy with that also. Now he has to study in front of someone and this was something that is very hard for him. It wold be like hell for him to sit and study. Now someone is helping him also making his time in hell harder.
Charlie's mother has told him that his tuition teacher would come around 7 15. He always watches one of the porn movies from his ever growing secret collection of porn movies and masturbate 2 to 3 times before his mom comes home at 10. This is his daily schedule and he is going to miss his daily activity today.
The doorbell rang at 7 20 and Charlie went to open the door. When he opened the door, his mouth also opened and he was suddenly shocked as if a lightening had struck him.
