Thanks to all the supportive commenters on the original upload of this story, I've decided to rewrite it with many suggestions offered. The end result is something longer and slow-burning, with many new elaborated sequences on scenes that were only lightly mentioned previously. If you enjoyed the original, with all it's emphasis on betrayal, intensity, and depravity, I think you'll love this as well. Enjoy.
Tim rubbed his cheek, and underneath his hand was a good sized bruise, thanks to Roy. He snickered, standing tall over Tim. He would've pushed him again if it weren't for a woman's voice interrupting him!-
"Excuse me! Boys! Excuse me, Sir!" She tried to speak while catching her breath, as she jogged over to the two, with her large chest swaying from side to side. "What are you doing?.. Why is my son on the ground here?" She panted out with worry and concern.
Caught off guard, Roy looked at the woman from toe to head. Below her busty cream knit sweater was a long purple skirt that tapered wide and draped beautifully. It almost looked like she wore a crinoline, but no, her hips and butt were really just that big. This cutie was Timmy's mom, eh? His eyes went from her low heeled pumps all the way up back to her eyes. Those cute narrowed mascara eyes of worry.
Tim stuttered before Roy promptly interrupted-
"Oh, hi Ma'am. Me and Tim were just playin' a lil' rough, thas' all... Tripped up a lil' bit." He said, trying to play cool. Mary stood with her arms crossed, worry still showing. Knowing something felt wrong, she slowly turned to ask her son. "Timmy. Is this true?.. You
just fell?
"
Timmy broke a sweat. Roy gave him 'The Look'. The one that says 'Go along with the lie, or else I'll kill you'... But Timmy had
enough!
Any other day, he would've gone along with the lie. But today was a day for bravery! His mom was here, and now he has to stand up for himself! He had to be a man!
"... No... No! Roy is bullying me! He's
always
bullied me! I'm tired of this!" Tim softly said with frustration as he got up. Mary's expression looked as if her heart broke into two. Roy simply sighed and stepped around, preparing himself for Mary's useless scolding...
Mary's expression went from sympathy to anger, turning to look at Roy. "Why, I can't believe it! You've been bullying my Timmy?!... I believe you owe my son an apology right at this instance, young man!" She stepped forward, placing her hands on her wide hips.
Roy sighed and rolled his eyes. "... Sorry Ma'am... Sorry Tim." He didn't really sound like he meant it, but to Mary, never once having to solve a conflict like this before, it was good enough... And now, she didn't know what to do next. Mary had a lot more heart than she had brains, so at this point, she continued crossing her arms, rocking from side to side, looking accomplished, thinking 'Now what?'.
"... Aight, can I go now?" He barked. Mary turned to him blankly, blinked a couple times... And eureka! She wasn't done yet, she was still filled with vengeance! "... No! You may not go now! You're gonna take me to your parents, and I'm gonna have a stern talking with them." She said with an uncharacteristic bossy tone! Roy and Timmy both looked shocked, but for differing reasons. Roy looked content with that response, which in turn made Timmy turn pale as a ghost... Why was he looking smug about a threat like that?
"Aight then, let's go!" Roy said as he began walking, and Mary followed right behind with her arms still crossed. "W-Wait! M-Mom... I don't think this is a good idea... The apology was enough, can we just go home now?" Timmy begged, and Mary's heart broke again. Her son was always so timid, and she always felt bad whenever she had to step up for him.
"What's wrong, Sweetheart? Don't worry about a thing! Once I speak with his parents, he'll never touch you again. Let me take care of this, okay?" She said with such loving care, caressing his cheek with her gentle hand...
But Timmy didn't feel relieved. He had a bad feeling in his gut that SOMETHING would happen to her. But he didn't know how to stop her. His mother was a handful sometimes, and with her this riled up over the injustice of her son, there was nothing he could say.
He looked deep into her pretty eyes, just inches away from his face.
Reluctantly, he nodded, and watched as the two walked away. As they left, he couldn't help but notice that same smug look on Roy's face that wouldn't leave.... He knew what a mean person Roy was, and he could only imagine the kind of trouble his bully could put his mother through...
"... M-Mom!" Timmy's fear uttered out one last weak attempt to stop her as they've already walked far away. Mary simply turned and gave Timmy a reassuring wave, and a smile. She was always so confident. Timmy couldn't help but slump his shoulders, and just sit and wait for whatever was to happen... He walked home, with a dreadful feeling in his stomach that he just could not get rid of.
His home was quiet. Without his mom to make him food, he quietly cooked himself a box of Mac N' Cheese. As he sat at the table and ate, his mind couldn't help but wonder what could possibly be going on... How long would it take until Mom comes back home? It already felt like a 15 minute walk, and another 20 minutes cleaning up and cooking... Would her plan really work? How far away is Roy's home even? What if he hurts her?! How would he get help if he doesn't even know his address?!
"Urgh!" He grunted out loud.
His own mother would be the cause of his anxiety attacks... He couldn't even finish his food, his mind was too cluttered! No matter what he did, play a game, listen to music, go on the computer, he was filled to the brim with sickening worry!
Then he looked at the clock. It was 7 PM... It's been over 3 hours since Mom left! Where could she be?! Timmy tossed and turned on his bed, coming up with horrid ideas of what could be happening right now at this very moment.
In the midst of Timmy's doom spiral, he contemplated the same premise but in different scenarios: What would Timmy do if his mom were gone? He didn't like imagining it too long, and knocked on wood many times that night, but it was a serious consideration. Mom was his everything. If she was gone... Then, there'd really be nothing left for him in life, would there? No reassurance, no companionship, no love and care-
And just like that, his doorbell rang!- Timmy was saved from the torment of his mind by his 5'9 Guardian Angel. He ran towards the door, and opened it as fast as he could, and there stood his mother. She looked fine, and she was gently smiling as usual. The fact she was safe is all that mattered to Timmy! "Mom!"
Leaning over to speak with Timmy's height, Mary tucked her hair behind her ear. "Hi Sweetie! I told you, I talked with his parents, and it's all taken care of now. Roy won't bully you anymore! See? That wasn't so hard now, was it?" She cheerfully sang whilst stroking Timmy's hair, before picking his shirt clean of a few lint pills.
"Really? Did his parents get pissed?.. How do I know he won't get even more mad and take it out on me?" Timmy's lingering mind wasn't put to rest just yet, but Mary would be there, as always, to soothe him. "... He- could get kicked off the football team if he doesn't stop. Even his parents said they'd take this up with the school if they had to! So relax, Hun. He won't even dare to show his face, now that he's scared of YOU." She tailed with a cute snort laugh.
This helped- but Timmy would always find ways to find more holes in any reassurance. He didn't like the sound of the hesitation in her voice at first. It didn't quite sit right with him, like there was more to the answer than she was letting on... But Timmy was so worry-ridden that he was happy to just throw the thoughts away.
"I'm... Sorry you had to do that... Go there and tell him to stop... I should just do it myself." Timmy didn't know how else to express his guilt. He put it as bluntly as he could, and Mary would soften the blow. "... Sweetheart, you don't think I've ever had bullies before? I've dealt with it- I even still have to deal with them as an adult now!"
