Travis' feet pounded the track as he tried his hardest to burn off some of the excess energy he had woken up with that morning

His time with Taylor still burned in his mind.

Yes he'd done all of that stuff with more than a few women in the past but never, never had it felt like it did yesterday, never had he walked away from it desperate to turn and jump in a second round immediately, usually one round was enough to satisfy his appetite for a particular girl, but this girl was so particular he had to have more, taste more, touch more.

The reputation his mother and brother had given to him was deserved but vastly exaggerated, yes he had experienced more women by the age of 21 than he should have but the actual number that he had sex with would come as a surprise to everyone that knew him, he was certain of that. Sexual favors were one thing, but sexual intercourse was another. He had a respect for that part of himself that his family obviously believed he lacked.

Dropping to the grass he reached for his bag and took out his phone, he was hoping for a message from Taylor, she had woken him up this morning with a photo of a lingerie set lying on her bed, telling him she was wearing it to school so she could spend the day dreaming about him removing it from her body and of course, one look at it, all silky and lace had woken up every part of his body.

More surprising than his wake up message had been the fact that when he went down stairs for his usual breakfast of fruit and coffee whilst his mother and Jason ate what ever she had made for them he had found a plate made up for him.

He had looked around in shock, not sure if it was real or a practical joke by Jason but his mother and brother were both gone and the note that sat next to it said 'T'.

She still couldn't bring herself to acknowledge his name but she had made him breakfast for the first time in a long time so sitting himself down he poured a coffee and then enjoyed the taste of his mother's cooking for the first time that he could remember.

There was no message from Taylor and he wasn't really too surprised about that, she had classes all morning but there was a message from his mother and again he was shocked to his core.

What was going on with her today?

He hadn't even realised she knew his phone number

K- I need to see you at the house. Mom

Mom?

She called herself mom???

Slowly a sense of unease began to drip into Travis' chest, breakfast had been odd, this message was odder but calling herself mom????

Travis stood up, threw his bag over his shoulder and then walked towards his house, a feeling darker than any he had experienced before weighing down on his shoulders.

As Travis entered the kitchen he found his mother sat at the table with some papers in front of her. The look on her face told  him this was going to be anything but a happy family reunion.

Standing in the doorway his heart began to pound as he realised he had no idea what was coming but he knew without doubt that it wasn't anything good.

Reaching for the papers, Karen held them out to him. Her gaze never meeting his

"You restart college in 2 weeks"

"How?"

"Don't ask me that just know it's sorted, you can leave here and go back to whatever it is you were doing down there"

Travis nodded slowly

"So that's what breakfast was, my goodbye"

"You don't belong here"
