Jennifer was feeling depressed. Masturbating her worries away and going to sleep at noon. What a life she's going to have tomorrow. She saw a dream about the drawn raccoon. The little thing kept her mind safe. Jennifer felt comfortable at her decision as she and her raccoon buddy were prancing on the streets like a perfect duo. She saw that one kid opening a tome and casting a hex on Jennifer. The lighting bolt like magic penetrated her and her innocent raccoon friend. Jennifer begun to shrink rapidly as the raccoon got longer and more anthropomorphic. The raccoon looked like a half-humanoid half-raccoon while it slowly begun to turn aggressively towards Jennifer. She tried to outrun the raccoon boy but he was catching her. The big raccoon man approaching her like a speeding bullet. Huge stomps one after another until it yelled.
"JENNIFER!"
"AAAA!" Jennifer shouted and shot herself out of the bed.
From the hallway Jennifer's mother Chloe was looking inside the dark room. Jennifer had forgotten open the window curtains which made the room more dark than it should had been. Even the middle of the noon felt like a night time as there was no natural sunlight coming to her woman cave.
"Didn't you hear when I told you that dinner's ready and-" Chloe looked Jennifer in her pajamas and tucked inside the planket. "Why are you on your bed? Were you going to go to sleep this early? Is everything okay sweety?"
Jennifer's mother walked inside the room and sat next to the bed's frame to talk with her daughter. Jennifer felt her hand being still slimy from the masturbation session she at noon. So it was off-putting for her mother be this close.
"I understand it's difficult to sometimes hold your feelings inside you. Believe me. I know. It's like that time when I met your father. I had butterflies in my stomach and I was planning our wedding and... It all came crashing down as soon as I realized that he saw our relationship as a 'friends with benefits' kinda deal. I'm so sorry that you aren't going to see your father as I think it's best that- Oops, Sorry Jenni, your silly old mother and her blabbermouth." Chloe explained. "What I was trying to say that I can relate to your feeling but I'm still proud whatever choice you make. It's normal to feel down or sad sometimes. But even in dark times those knockbacks have light at the end of the tunnel as everything will work out someday."
"So... You aren't mad at me?" Jennifer asked.
"I'm not angry at you, but worried. I should have had time to ask you about your drawings and your... awakening moment with 'that animal character' you love to draw." Jennifer's mother said as if she was speaking from experience. "It's healthy to have 'a thing' you like and cherish it but at the same time some people might not like it as you saw with your teacher. She didn't understand it at all. People can be nasty as they care about their own things more than someone elses."
Jennifer could only nod as it felt like that she was acting as her mother's therapist.
"Also, If I'm being honest with you I find you raccoon friend quite ho-" Chloe chuckled as she tried to switch the topic.
"MOOOOM!" Jennifer whined as her mother was acting all cringy.
"I know. I know. Going off the tangent again. I'm not here to lecture what you should or shoudn't do. I'm here as your parents and my job is to help you when you feel down. Even your own mom's pretty weird sometimes in her own way. So, how about that dinner?" Chloe smiled. "Even if you aren't hungry you should come take a small bite of it..."
Jennifer watched as her mother left the room. Jennifer looked at the clock on the wall and noticed that she's been in bed for five hours which meant it was 5pm in the evening. Jennifer glanced at her crusty and sticky hand and thought if she should leave the bed or just force herself back to sleep. Sleeping whole might cause more problems as she hadn't done any homework. Jennifer let out a yawn and had to make a split second decision what she was going to do next.
