It had always just been you and your son, Leon. He was your pride and joy and your best friend. And you were his. He was proud that you were his mamma. He would never let you not be apart of who he was.

Even now as a seventeen year old in high school, he was still your best friend. You never knew that he had often been bullied for it throughout the years. It wasn’t until today you had witnessed it when you have come to pick him up from school because he didn’t have a ride anymore.

You got out of the car and he ran up to you and gave you a big hug. “Hi, mamma.” He said sweetly. That’s when you noticed some kids around snickering and whispering.
