Tagline: His dream girl is everybody else’s nightmare

Years have passed since Megan’s untimely death due to a gunshot wound which was caused by me in defense of mom as I thought she was going to attack her. I didn’t want to do it but I had to make a choice. Things between Megan and mom had become so bad in the lead up to her death and though I was initially against mom forcing us to separate as I know she has been really good to me, I could not forgive her for what she was going to do to my mother. Unlike my brother, I actually felt as if family should come first. I did it knowing full well that there would be consequences for my actions. Those consequences should have included jail time and maybe even suicide on my part as I know that Megan was indeed a big part of my life. Now you would think that a person who had willingly just admitted to killing someone wouldn’t have to wait two years to be penalized for his actions yet I had yet to even be confronted over what I did. I wonder what was the cause of me not being reprimanded for my actions against her. I mean, was she that hated among the general public that I could get away with murder? Why was I not in trouble for what I did? This is where our story begins.

Megan’s Boy Chapter 1 By Jefferson Bert

Our story begins as a doctor is turning off what appears to be a video of past events leading up to Megan’s supposed death. Megan and I just finished a fight which concluded with me telling her I wish she wasn’t in my life anymore as I cited the numerous times she had yearned to meet certain members of my family as a way of replacing me with one of them. This came about as I felt as if I was not good enough for Megan and she would do anything to replace me. It turns out that I had undergone a month’s worth of therapeutic sessions which concluded with a video through a virtual reality headset which detailed to me how bad I felt Megan was. This video also served as a wake up call for me as it had concluded with her getting shot after the events that previously took place with mom. To make things simple, the video showed me that I had been abusive to her throughout our relationship with my thoughts having been projected in the video. After spending an hour watching the video and believing it to be true, the doctor finally removed the headset. I had been heavily sedated before viewing it and therefore it was all dismissed as a dream.

“Do you finally see how you treat Megan?” the doctor asked.

I then began crying as the medication started to wear off. “Where is she? I need her now.” I demanded

“I’m right here Jefferson. I’m not going anywhere. The doctor is just here to help you as I don’t think you realize how the way you treat me isn’t right.” Megan said.

“So it was all a dream?” I asked in shock.

“Well not exactly. You see, Megan and I sat here quietly while you viewed the video to give you a wake up call as to how you treat her. I’ve been taking notes based on my findings to see how you reacted to seeing your actions in person and the good news is that I think it did the trick. You finally realize that your life would not be worth living as much as it is with Megan around. You simply didn’t realize how good you had it with her. This is my most effective method of bringing people back to reality from their crazy beliefs which is why I use a virtual reality headset. Now that you know how bad you are, will you change your ways? This is the only sure way for me to know if this works. The headset is just a machine but the real test will be if you take what you’ve learned from watching it and apply the changes in your daily life. You need to show Megan how much you respect her. If you do, only then will I know this machine works.” explained the doctor.

I did not respond to this as I laid crying in Megan’s arms. “What did you see in the video?” she asked

“It was horrible. You were basically eye candy for everybody in my life including my brother Brad and worst of all my mother. At one point, my mother died and you kept sleeping with Brad while I was locked in a basement. This actually lead to me committing suicide.” I replied.

“Jefferson, how many times do I have to tell you? I have no intentions of being romantically involved with any member of your family but at the same time, how are we supposed to move forward with our relationship and eventually get married if they don’t know who I am? What if it becomes more than that? What if we end up having children?” Is your mom going to randomly wake up one morning to you telling her you have kids when she didn’t even initially know you had a girlfriend? This is not how a relationship works. I cannot be with you forever while your family has no idea I exist. The ball is in your court. Either you can introduce me to them or I walk now and this will not be a case of virtual reality.” warned Megan

“Oh yeah and by the way, you also had a hook and a desire for biting people who get under our skin. It was a really a bad dream or thought. I don’t even know what it was but it was bad and then the worst thing of all happened at the end. I shoot you to death..” I said

“For the last time Jefferson, it wasn’t real but only you can ensure that this stays this way. Only you have the power to keep me as a legitimate part of your life and you do this by making me a part of your family.” Megan explained.

Ok so I think my work with you guys is done. Jefferson knows what he has to do and it’s up to him if he chooses to do it. I will say one thing in regards to your behavior though Megan.” said the doctor.

What’s that? I will do whatever I can to help Jefferson so we can be happy again.” Megan said.

“Well if you are prone to sleeping around and being unfaithful and allowing others access to what he should have access to, I would suggest that you stop doing that. Right now Jefferson needs to know that you are 100% on his side. From what I’ve seen, his accusations towards you may be a result of insecurity and the belief that he is not good enough for you. Maybe he feels like others, even those as close as family may be able to give you more than he can. You basically shouldn’t give them the option to do so. Maybe then your relationship will improve.” said the doctor.

We go back home where Megan and I discuss the situation.

“So what am I supposed to do that I haven’t already done? Megan asked impatiently. I mean, I gave you a job and everything I do I do for you so it shouldn’t be that I haven’t repaid you enough for pulling me off the street when I was homeless so don’t pull that “I pulled you off the street and this is how you treat me,” nonsense. I’ve done more than my fair share to ensure your happiness. I take care of you. I love you with all of my heart and I want nothing but the best for you. All I ask in return is to meet your family, particularly your mother who gave birth to you and who is really the only reason I’m legitimate in your life when you think about it. I wouldn’t love you so much if you were never born. So don’t think of me meeting your mom as a means of sleeping with her. Don’t think of me meeting your brother as a means of sleeping with him. Think of it as me meeting the people who basically gave me what I want. My one true love. And your brother is one of those people too. The fact is I could never thank them enough for putting you on this earth and I want to become part of what they are to you. I want to be the missing piece of the puzzle that completes your whole family. You have a mom, a brother, and a stepfather but you don’t yet have a girlfriend, at least that they know of, who you can one day marry. As far as they know, you will never have that if you don’t get off your ass and introduce me to them. But as of right now, I’m mad that we had to go to such great lengths for me to prove this fact to you. This is something you should have known already and yet we had to go through a doctor and a fuckin virtual reality headset to drill it into your brain. Maybe you really don’t know how to treat me and until you learn, you’re sleeping on the couch.” Megan ranted.

“Well there is one thing the doctor said that is true. The fact of the matter is I do feel insecure. I feel insecure because you’re the type of person who has a body that everybody else would kill to wake up next to every morning.” I reply.

“That’s just your opinion.” said Megan

“Maybe if we spent more time together I wouldn’t feel this way.” I continued. Also the doctor recommended that you not spend time with anyone else. So what if you were only nice to me and everybody else was criticized by you?” What if I was the only one who you felt deserved your kindness and everybody else was ridiculed just for talking to you?” I said.

‘So pretty much, you want me to be rude to everyone but you even if they don’t deserve it?” said Megan

“Yes that’s it. You need to prove to me that I’m the only one who exists in your life. The only one who you would ever talk to while you put everybody else in a situation where they try to earn your respect but fail miserably while wishing they could be as lucky as I am to have your respect.” I said

“If you’re sure this will work, I guess I could give that a try but I have some demands of my own.” said Megan

“Anything you want, you got it.” I agreed.

“Well do you know what usually happens when we’re getting intimate and the phone rings? If you remember correctly, you stop so you can answer it especially if it’s your mom right?” said Megan

“Yes because she is my mother.” I replied

“Well what if I was to take that option away from you? I will go along with your proposal for you to be the only one I care about and talk to as long as when we need our privacy, we get it. I don’t care if it’s your mom calling or not. From now on if and when the phone rings and we’re getting intimate, it goes to voicemail and you do not look at your phone until we’re done. Then and only then will I graciously accept your suggestion for you to be my one and only. I need to ensure that I’m yours as well.” Megan said.

I had the perfect opportunity to test the new setup of me not answering my phone that night while Megan and I got intimate. The first few calls actually served to enhance the quality of our intimacy as the phone rang at least five times with both of us wondering what the caller would want.

“My god whoever the fuck is calling must be sweating fuckin bullets if you’re not answering the phone.” said Megan

“I know but we had a deal. No phone until tomorrow morning.” I said

“Good boy.” said Megan

Little did either one of us know that it was mom on the phone with news that would shock us which we would find out about the next morning.

The End
