Humanity's Relief (Sequel to The Cure For Humanity)

Prologue

(A/N: 2 chapters into the story and I barely decide to do a prologue. Why do you ask? Well I've been getting DMs about people getting confused and why this is suddenly taking place 20 years later and why the reader is gone without a trace, idk why but apparently people question it. Unfortunately there are some things that will be answered in future chapters but as of right now the most I can do on my end without spoiling everything is to give you your POV before the story happened, some people will feel that this is a waste of time but apparently not so much to others, anyways I hope this helps with those who were lost and that the DMs will stop, PLEASE!! 😂)

(Your POV)

I have tried everything.

Raising a child on your own is a lot more work than people make it out to be.

And to make things worse, I don't even know who his father is.

Did I get drunk and forgot?

Did I focus so much on Jake that my memories just slipped out of my mind??

Either way he's out of the picture and I'm better off.

Its always been ME these past few years and I've grown used to it by now.

No family.

No friends.

No one.

I've had some neighbors that will help me look out for Jake while I am at work from time to time but as he got older, there wasn't no need for it.

But I've noticed something off about him.

I'm not sure how to put my finger on it but its almost like the sweet boy I have birthed and raised now became a complete stranger.

He acts different more usual.

I've seen his behavior at school getting out of hand to a point that he's been expelled.

I didn't know what to do.

I couldn't stay at home and keep a close eye on him.

And I've had no time to help him find another school so lately he had been at home while I've been at work.

I would love for Jake to go to school to major in something but lately he seems to be less and less interested in the idea.

Luckily for me, he never lays a hand on me.

No, he has been so good to me.

It didn't matter how embarrassed he was when I would kiss his cheek, he would never push me away or tell me to "F*ck off."

A simple "MOM STOP" would occur, but he would never refuse my affection.

But lately I had fallen ill.

I thought it had been a common flu that would go away in a matter of days.

But it didn't.

Its been to a point that I would have to dig into my savings for Jake's college to be able to see a doctor.

I wanted to go alone but Jake caught me almost fainting in front of the car and has offered to drive me to the doctor.

I didn't know who taught my 16 year old son how to drive because it certainly was not me.

But I was glad because there was no way in hell I would've made it in one piece.

I saw it first hand.

I don't know why I thought I could.

Once we reached the doctor's office, he examined me and found nothing.
