*****
For the first sixteen years of Ira Roderick's life he thought nothing of what his parents did for a job, until one fateful day when a friend called him over to show him something really special. Like all boys his age, - virgins - Ira was interested in porn. With the internet opening up the world of sex to his young mind, oh how he fought off the hordes of naked breasts that danced in his dreams. However, that world came crashing down when he arrived at his friend's house only to be laughed at, by rubbing in his face, his mother on screen getting double penetrated, one of them his own father.
From that day forward Ira began to notice how the men and women around the Bridgeport housing community stared at his mother and father. It seemed to him his parents weren't affected by it the way he was. Not that he was ashamed of his parents, he just didn't understand why they had to be in porn. Then again, Ira was never going to find out since he had no plans on discussing this with them. That was how life for Ira played out as he walked down the street of the cul-de-sac his house was on. His shoulders sagged slightly knowing how everyone he knew was out to either fuck his mother or his father. So, Ira stopped hanging out with people knowing they were only using him to gain access to his parents.
Grumbling loudly as he saw his sister's car, knowing if she was here her loudmouth lesbian girlfriend was with her. He did love his sister, like any brother should, it was just the woman she brought home every damn time they had free time off from college was... to say Ira disliked that woman was an understatement. The last time he saw his sister, it ended with him roughly throwing his sister's girlfriend out of his room, snatching his favorite book out of her hands before she could to deface it. It was like she took pleasure out of tormenting Ira.
Ira began to ponder if he should just catch the bus and go see his grandparents. He knew they didn't like his sister's girlfriend any more than he did. At least then he could have some peace and quiet. Ira stared, perplexed, at the front door as it refused to admit him entrance to his home. Searching his pockets for his keys, grumbling at the stupid door that should already know who he was. As his key neared the deadbolt the door quickly opened a few inches.
"Sorry kiddo, but we're filming in here," Dominic -- Ira's father -- said as he peered through the inch gap at his son. He was sure that he had told his son this, this morning over breakfast. Clearly he was wrong.
"Man! Can't I just go up to my room? I promise I won't peek or disturb that," Ira sighed irritably.
"Sorry son, but no, it'll be picked up by the mics and we took hours to set it up. So no, you can't go to your room. Why..."
"Whatever," Ira said, slinging his bookbag onto the patio chair before slinking off to the library.

"Hello Ira," the cute, shy, freckle faced thirty-year-old librarian said as Ira walked through the door. Ira once had a crush on her right up until he saw she had starred in a movie with his father. After seeing that it kind of killed his blissful daydreams about the woman. He wasn't about to go after his father.
"Hello Ms. Dates," Ira said politely as his fingers trailed along the side of the receptionist desk.
"The book you've been looking for finally got returned," Ms. Dates said with a cheery smile.
"Cool. Thanks," Ira said, trying not to look directly at her. Every time he did all he saw was his father doing things to her. "Sweet," he said, grinning madly as Ms. Dates pushed the book across the surface of her desk.
"I saved it just for you," Ms. Dates said, her fingers briefly trailed along Ira's, "I know how much you've been wanting to read this one."
"Yeah, I have, although it would've been nice to have before my report was due, but what can you do?" Ira asked, shrugging his shoulders, pulling out his library card so he can go ahead and check it out before it disappeared for another two months.
"One of these days you're going to have to tell me why you enjoy ancient history so much," Ms. Dates said, as she stamped the card and entered the date into the system.
"Maybe," Ira said with a sly smile as he walked off before his nose was deep in that book about the Hundred years war.
Ira lounged in one of the reading chairs the library had set up around the interior, his feet propped up on the sill of the window as he read about the first few years of the war. His phone vibrated in his pocket, but he ignored it. Ira knew it was his father knowing it'd been two hours since he was turned away from his own home. Before long, another hour had passed without Ira even noticing. Remembering what page he was on as his phone began to blow up.
"What Mom?" Ira spoke quietly into his phone.
"
Where are you
!"
"Library," Ira said, keeping his answer to a single word.
"
Why didn't you tell your father
?"
"It's not like you all don't know I came here every damn time you turn the house into a porno set," Ira said as low as he could.
"
Well, I'm pulling in now, so get your butt outside
." Sighing in annoyance as he lifted himself out of his chair. Waving goodnight to Ms. Dates as he passed her desk, a little forlorn at the loss of his nighttime pleasure. His mother's silver convertible Jaguar F-TYPE wasn't hard to miss in the libraries parking lot. "Get in Ira," Cora said, peering over the rim of her sunglasses. "You going to tell me what's been up with you lately?" she asked as they pulled out of the parking lot.
"Nope," Ira said over the whipping of the wind in his ears.
"Son, you know you can tell me anything and I..." Cora began to say startled that her own son pulled away from her as she tried to brush his hair.
"I'm fine Mom," Ira said, opening up his book once again.
"I'd wish you would get your nose out of your books for more than two seconds and go hang out with your friends," Cora sighed as the light turned green.
"You assume I have friends mother," Ira said, peering out of his eye at her, "they only use me for one thing," he said, his bitterness was plain as day.
"You know if you dropped the attitude once in a while and dressed more...," Cora said, her eye ran down her son's plain drub attire.
"I'm not having this conversation with you," Ira said, closing his book in a loud thud.
"Fine. Stay a virgin, what do I care!" Cora said with indifference. When her son came home two years ago she knew they couldn't keep their life away from their children any longer. Being at the age of forty-one her main lining pornos was slowly winding down. That didn't mean she didn't still perform in them, just her roles in them has switched; and thanks to the breast augmentation she had another ten years as an actress. However, she had begun to take on a more director type of role in the movies like her husband did as well. Cora couldn't understand why her son was so unlike her, his father, or his sister. Pressing her forehead against the steering wheel as her son jumped out of the car the moment they parked in their driveway. Sighing, wondering what was happening to her youngest child as Ira walked towards the front door.

"Finally," Ira sighed as he plopped down into his computer chair in his room causing it to roll back a few inches. Placing his book down beside his computer, reaching for his bookbag so he could finally get his homework done.
"Well, if it isn't ass face, what're ya doing bookworm?" Vikki asked. Ira paid her no attention as he went over his math homework.
"Did I invite you into my room?" Ira asked pointedly, without looking up from his textbook as Vikki started to take a step into his room.
"No..."
"Then why do you think you can enter?" Ira asked, glancing coldly at the woman.
"Vikki, we talked about this," Bridgett said coming down the hall, "you told me you'd stay away from my brother."
"Sorry love," Vikki said turning her head, "he's just too irresistible not be around," she said, crossing her arms along her Misfits t-shirt. Her black leather skirt hugged her hips, drawing one's gaze to her black pantyhose, purposely cut in strategic places to show off her silky pale skin to her knee-high black boots that ended in polished metal skulls caps on the toes of her boots.
"Sorry Ira," Bridgett said while pulling Vikki out of his doorway, "I'll see that she doesn't do it again."
"Whatever," Ira said, he knew the woman would do
something
the moment Bridgett was out of sight.
"Ira?" Bridgett inquired, sticking her head in the doorway.
"What?"
"Try to smile some time," Bridgett said before departing.
Ira found that an odd thing to say to him given her gothic nature. Weren't they all into brooding? Weren't they drawn to the darker side of human nature? Then again, what did he know? Shrugging off his own questions returning his focus back to his schoolwork.
"Ira?" Dominic called lightly, standing in the doorway to his son's room. "Dinner is ready, come eat."
"In a minute," Ira said, scribbling down the answer to his math problem.
"Now son before it gets cold," Dominic said sternly.
"Fine," Ira sighed, dropping his pencil into the nook of his textbook.
"What's got you down as of late?" Dominic asked, placing his hand on his son's shoulder as they walked down the hall towards the open dining room.
