Juniper Lee Pornography Story: Enjoy Life Remorse Chapter 8

Love, Life, & Regret

Chapter 8: The Day His Life Changed

When Chris was nine he faced the greatest tragedy of his entire life. The death of his parents would shape him into the teenager he is today, but at the time the young boy didnt think he could go on. He loved his parents with all his heart and without them he felt lost. If it hadnt been for his friends standing by his side he would surely have been swallowed up by the anger and hatred dwelling within his heart.

After the funeral the nine year old boy began to question his future. Would he become lost within the foster care system or was there a plan already set up for him? Luckily for him, his parents and the Lees were extremely close. Juniper and Chris fathers worked together and coincidentally enough, were neighbors. That, among other things, was why the children were such good friends.

Not long after that Chris fell into the custody of the Lees, as outlined in his parents will. However, the boy did not move in with his new family, instead preferring to live in his own house. This was how the family had lived for such a long time and no one questioned it.

The front door swung open and in stepped Mr. Lee holding the sleeping body of his godson, Chris. The funeral had been too much for the boy and he had collapsed from exhaustion. Behind him followed his eight year old daughter, Juniper, who was extremely worried about her best friend. They had been through so much since meeting four years ago, but this was by far the hardest thing they had ever experienced.

Daddy? Juniper asked in a squeaky voice, Is Chris gonna be okay?

Her father pulled the boys shoes off and slipped him into his bed, pulling the covers over the boy, He just needs some rest, Honey.

With that the weary father fell back into a nearby chair and watched as his godson slept. He hoped that it was peaceful, but knew in is heart that it most likely wasnt. Chris had been so close to his parents, this wasnt going to be easy. Juniper looked at her father and could see the pain in his eyes. How could this have happened? A car accident? It wasnt fair, they were good people! And yet, it seemed that no amount of good could protect someone from the hand of fate.

The following morning Chris awoke to the sound of a man falling out of his chair with a loud thump. The boy looked over and found Mr. Lee dusting himself off as he stood.

Good morning, Chris, the man said in a somber voice.

Good morning, the boy replied looking down at his sheets.

The room was silent as the older man tried to think of the right thing to say. What could he say?

Suddenly the boy leapt out of his bed and stood to his full two foot height and said, Im hungry, and with that he walked out of the room.

The man was amazed, What just happened? he asked flabbergasted.

Downstairs Chris found Juniper, still dressed in her black dress, snoring away on the couch. He stifled a small smirk, but it quickly faded. It hurt too much to smile knowing he would never see his parents again. He turned and entered the kitchen opening the refrigerator. He was starving as his belly started churning. Suddenly, eating didnt feel like such a good idea.

Chris? Mr. Lee asked from the entrance.

The boy turned to face him with tears pouring out of his eyes.

Its okay, the man said pulling the boy into a hug, I miss them too.

The boy didnt have to say anything for the man to know what was wrong.

A week had passed since the funeral and Chris had finally returned to school. The other children shied away from him as he passed them in the halls. Behind him followed Juniper, who had taken it upon herself to stand by him through anything and everything. As he approached his classroom Jody stepped in front of him. The little blonde girl kept her head bowed as she raised an envelope with both hands. She wanted to say something to him, anything to tell him she cared, but she couldnt find her voice.

Chris accepted it and then thanked her before pushing through the door of his homeroom. Juniper stood outside with Jody watching the boy through the little window in the door.

How is he? the blonde girl asked.

He wont eat, he barely sleeps, and he hardly speaks, but at least hes out of the house, the Asian girl answered. You know, he really needs his friends to stick by him.

Jody blushed slightly, I know and I will, I just

Yeah, I know, Juniper replied.

The pair entered the classroom and sat down on either side of the boy.

Jody waited patiently for her friends. Chris and Juniper were talking to the teacher about his current situation. As most of the adults in Chris life had done, she offered him a shoulder to cry on should he need it. As the trio walked to the lunch room, they met up with Ophelia and Roger, who was nursing a black eye.

For the first time since the accident Chris started a conversation, What happened to you?

Roger quickly racked his brain trying to come up with a cool reason for the injury, but before he could say anything, Ophelia explained that one of the fifth graders had decked Roger for being too short. They were third graders and constant targets for the vicious fifth graders. Anything they did was instantly berated by the older kids and if one of the third graders should be caught alone, he was instantly sorry for it.

Which one? Chris asked without batting an eye.

Juniper was nervous as she let the question sink in. What was he going to do? He wasnt planning on

Roger pointed to a tall fifth grader with a black shirt and torn up jeans. Most people referred to him as Moose because of his monstrous strength, but Chris wasnt fazed at all. He had no compassion for bullies, especially those that targeted his friends. Juniper was horrified as her friend walked up behind the eleven year old.

Hey Moose, looks like youve got a visitor, one of the other fifth graders said pointing to the pint size Chris.

Moose turned around and stood to his full height, towering over Chris. He cracked his knuckles as a wicked smile crossed his face.

You got a problem runt? he sneered.

You hurt my friend, Chris answered bowing his head.

And what are you gonna do about it? Moose demanded reaching for Chris.

The eleven year old never saw the attack coming as Chris foot collided with his groin. The muscle bound boy fell to his knees cupping his privates as his eyes watered. Suddenly the other boys at Mooses table stood and stepped toward Chris. Juniper watched as the massacre began. The nine year old never stood a chance. He may have been in karate, but he wasnt strong enough to take them all on.

Juniper and the others cringed as Chris fell face first to the ground.

Stupid little punk, one of the fifth graders said helping Moose to his feet.

Amazingly Chris raised his head and grabbed the boys leg, Thatall you got?

The fifth grader pulled his leg free and was about to bring it down on Chris when, from out of nowhere, the other third graders leapt all over him. Juniper and Jody swung from his arms as Ophelia and Roger clutched his legs. Chris watched as his friends clung to the older boy trying to stop him. Even though his parents were gone, his friends still cared about him enough to risk getting beaten up for him. Not that the fifth graders would get the chance. The Principal, Vice-Principal, and Disciplinarian pulled the groups apart and held them until the room quieted down.

With a little help from the school nurse, Chris climbed to his feet. He was a mess. There was a big purple bruise under his right eye and his nose was pouring blood. He was even missing one of his front teeth as the nurse checked the rest of his injuries. What a mess

Juniper helped Chris walk home. It was strange, but for the first time in a long time, he was smiling. And it wasnt just a smirk, it was a big toothy grin, except he only had one tooth in the front of his mouth.

Youre such a dork, you know that? Juniper asked, berating her friend.

He chuckled, Yeah, but it was worth it, June.

She stifled a smile as they entered his house. How were they going to explain this? His head was wrapped in a bandage and he had dark bruises all over. They would worry about that later, they decided. For right now, Chris was just happy to be getting back to his old self. He still mourned the death of his parents and it still hurt, but he couldnt let their deaths be the end of his life as well.

Ill check on you later, right now I need to go explain to Mom and Dad why were so late, Juniper explained.

Yeah okay, Chris responded, limping his way to the kitchen and pulling out something to eat.

Alone, he looked over his shoulder to see that another friend was waiting for him.

Hey Haku, the boy said.

Hey? Is that all you have to say for yourself? the white scaled dragon demanded, descending the stairs.

What do you want me to say? the boy asked stuffing his dinner into the microwave.

The dragon had been worried when he hadnt seen or heard from Chris in nearly two weeks, Why dont you explain where youve been for the last two weeks?

Chris bowed his head again. It hurt to think about them especially right now, but Haku had a right to know.

Theres something important I have to tell you, Chris explained walking up to the dragon and hugging his snout.

Juniper and Chris sat on her roof watching the stars and the moon shine. They had both been chewed out by her parents and grounded for the rest of the month. They understood that Chris was upset, but that was no reason to around starting fights. The pair graciously accepted their punishment, but Juniper still slugged Chris in the arm for getting her in trouble. It was almost back to normal except for the event that hung heavily on everyones mind.

June? Chris asked never taking his eyes off the night sky.

The girl looked over at him, Yeah?

Thank you, he told her.

What are friends for? she asked sliding over to him, wrapping her arm around his and resting her head on his shoulder.

To be continued

Well, there you have it, a glimpse into Chris origin and the reason why June and him are so close. Still, they havent revealed their secrets to each other yet. When will that happen you ask? Well, Im working on that as we speak so stay tuned for more. Until then, later everyone.
