(A story about incest among other taboos)
Chapter 1
1717 Hickory Lane
Matt was in love with the prettiest girl in school, Melissa Hodges. What she lacked in popularity she made up for with innate beauty. He didn’t care that she came from the wrong end of town or what type of clothes she wore. He was hooked, she was too, and together, they knew they would be together forever. There was only one obstacle…
“Matthew! Get in here this minute. I don’t want you seen with that trollop.” Matt’s mom slurred in between drags on her cigarette. She had been divorced for some time now and the alimony was enough to pay the mortgage and her leisurely days. It showed, her hair was a mess, and at three o’clock in the afternoon she still only wore a bathrobe and slippers. Matt was ashamed, embarrassed, and scared. He could hear the alcohol on her voice and he knew that meant bad things for him.
Melissa leant forward and gave him a quick peck on the cheek, smiled at Mrs. Albinue, and continued walking down Hickory Lane. “Bye, bye Baby. Don’t let her get to you.” One day she would have Matt all to herself. She could put up with her comments until then. Matt raced across the street not looking back.
She sighed wondering what abuse he would have to endure this time. The last time she had lost her temper he came to school with deep red scratches across his face. They had to make up a story that they had gotten into a fight and things got a little out of hand. Lies Melissa thought, not this time. She would be there for him, but she wouldn’t let others believe that she caused any of his injuries. How could her love for him be so true if she hurt him so easily.
“You’re in deep shit mister.” Janice said cuffing Matt’s head as he passed. Matt stood in the foyer of their two story Victorian home. His ear had turned crimson where she had struck him. He could smell the sour odor of beer on her breath. In two quick steps she slammed the door and smacked him again. “You’re going to be just like your father, and leave me for some slut. Aren’t I enough for you?” Each word was accentuated with a strike. By the time she had finished flailing, a heavy pendulous tit had slipped from her robe. Her dark brown, areola was taught and wrinkled, serving as a platter for her gumdrop sized nipple.
“You’re going to leaving just like he did.” She said as she began to sob. “Then I’ll be all alone. Who will take care of your mother?
