Chapter 1
I am cursing at my tablet for dying on me and just when the show was starting to get good. It's a piece of shit that shouldn't have lasted as long as it did, but it's not like I can get my mom to buy me a new one. There's no denying money's tight and I haven't been able to find work; it isn't like an eighteen year old can find much work outside of flipping burgers, which I don't want to do. My smartphone is the only option I have, but I hate having to watch such a small screen.
My siblings have all moved away and it's just me and my mom. Had they not taken their computers and laptops with them, then that would be an option. I'm home alone and there's just one computer in the house, but I don't like the idea of going into mom's bedroom. She doesn't come in here and I don't go in there out of mutual respect for each others privacy.
This is different and I have a very good reason, even if mom would disagree. Mom will never know I was in there. I just need ten more minutes to finish the show. It's not like I'm invading her privacy or anything. Either that or it's that impossible screen. Why can't they make them bigger?
With only one real option available to me, I leave my dead tablet behind and head to mom's bedroom. She's at work and won't be home for several hours, which gives me more than enough time. Her door is unlocked and I wouldn't expect anything less from her. Why lock a door when no one's going to go in? I feel a little guilty as I walk into her room, but I don't have a choice. It's either mom's computer or that damned small screen.
Her computer is in screen saver mode as I move the mouse and sit down. There's something there that causes me to lose my breath for a moment. It's a video that shows one of mom's friend, Gretta Barkly, and her only daughter, Jenna. They are both completely naked and I can't figure out why it's on mom's computer.
Jenna's a few years older than me and we never real hit it off. There was something that always gave me the creeps about her. Maybe it was all the times she hit on me that did it, but I can't say for sure. I'm not a lesbian and made it very clear to her, but she never did get the message and it's so damned frustrating when someone can't take a fucking hint.
