[Author's note: This story is loosely based on an erotic manga I read online recently. All characters are 18 years old of age or older.]
Looking back now I regretted my decision to do what I did. I love my son to pieces and would do anything to protect him. But maybe if I had done things differently that day, maybe things wouldn't have played out like it did. Yes that means that as you read this, it already happened. So let me recite my tale to you.
Chapter one:
I snuck up behind my eighteen year old son and pull him into a hug. He was getting into his shoes, as I did this.
"Come on mom," said Chris, "let go already."
He struggles in vain against my embrace.
"You just look so upset lately," I said smiling, "I thought I might cheer you up with a hug."
He manages to get free.
"But I'm fine though," he said, "don't worry about me."
He touches his arm and winches in pain. Then quickly adjusts his backpack.
"Well if there is something troubling you," I said while smiling, "let me know okay. I'll figure out something I can do to help."
"Okay," he said.
I ruffle his hair and hand him his lunch.
"Well I'm off to school now." he said.
"Have a safe day sweetie!" I call out as he closes the front door behind him.
The smile disappears from my face. I stood in the hallway for a bit before going to the living room. Then sat on the couch and sigh. Chris hasn't been himself lately. He's been coming home lately with a fresh bruise or two. Whenever I ask him about it, he always avoids telling me. I'm beginning to think that he doesn't want me to help.
I begin my daily routine of household chores. Sweeping the floor, cleaning the dishes, vacuuming the living room and the bedrooms, then doing laundry.
I then went outside with a basket and began taking off the clothes from the clothes line.
"I wonder what his father would do," I thought to myself, "if he were still here."
It's only been Chris and me for the last five years. Since his father died in a car crash. I miss him terribly. I haven't remarried or even tried to date. I feel like I would be tarnishing his memory.
"Umm excuse me," said a voice behind me, "is Chris here?"
I turn towards the voice and saw a guy Chris' age standing by the gate. He was quite handsome and cute too. He smiles nervously at me.
"Can I help you," I ask cautiously, "who are you?"
"I'm Kevin," he said, "a classmate of his."
I invite him into the yard and he walks with me up to the house. I open the front door and we head to the living room. He sits on the couch and I sit on the ottoman across from him. I began folding the laundry.
"So," I said while folding, "you wanted to talk about Chris?"
"Yeah um," Kevin began to say, "did you know he was being bullied at school."
"Bullied?" I thought to myself, "I knew that had to be it."
"To be honest," he continued, "I am too."
He looks down at the floor.
"He is too?" I thought to myself, "poor guy."
"I can't even bring myself to talk to my family about it," he said.
"He can't talk to his family about it?" I thought to myself sadly, "I guess Chris is having that same problem."
I finished folding and clenched my fist. I felt determined and knew I had to help.
"Then," I said getting up and sat next to him, "try talking to me about it."
"But," Kevin began to say, "Chris isn't home yet though."
"It's okay," I said patting his arm affectionately, "I'm a very good listener. No need to be shy."
"But it's embarrassing to say," he said looking away.
