00:00It had been a long day.
00:01I was finally winding down after dinner,
00:04folding laundry in the living room
00:06while the television played quietly in the background.
00:09My name is Jessica Morrison,
00:11and I live in a quiet suburban neighborhood in Portland, Oregon.
00:15I'm a single mom to a 17-year-old named Tyler,
00:17who just finished his junior year of high school.
00:21Like most teenage boys, Tyler spends most of his time in his room,
00:25usually gaming, texting, or hanging out with his best friend, Jason.
00:30Jason has been part of our lives since middle school.
00:33He practically grew up in our house.
00:35Polite, respectful, and always helpful.
00:39The kind of boy you wouldn't worry about
00:40when your son brought him over for sleepovers.
00:43Over the years, I saw him transform from a lanky,
00:46awkward kid into a tall, confident young man.
00:50But to me, he was always just Jason, Tyler's best friend.
00:55That night, the house was calm.
00:57Tyler had told me Jason was staying over.
01:00Which wasn't unusual.
01:01It was just after 11 p.m. when I decided to call it a night.
01:05I knocked on Tyler's door,
01:07planning to peek in and remind them to shut everything down soon.
01:10I didn't hear a response, so I slowly pushed the door open.
01:14Tyler.
01:15I said softly, as I stepped into the dark room.
01:19But instead of seeing my son sitting on his bed or gaming at his desk,
01:22I was startled to see Jason alone,
01:25standing by the window with the blinds slightly drawn open.
01:28He turned abruptly, looking just as surprised to see me.
01:33Oh, Mrs. Morrison, he said, clearing his throat awkwardly.
01:37Tyler just ran downstairs to grab snacks.
01:40He'll be back in a second.
01:42I relaxed, embarrassed for intruding.
01:45I'm sorry, Jason.
01:46I just wanted to say goodnight.
01:48I didn't realize you were alone.
01:50Jason smiled, but there was something different in his expression.
01:53Not inappropriate, just older.
01:56More mature.
01:58Like he wasn't the boy I'd known for the past seven years.
02:01He was wearing a simple t-shirt and flannel pajama pants,
02:04but even in the dim room, he looked so much older than Tyler.
02:08You don't have to apologize, he said quietly.
02:11Actually, I'm glad I got a second to talk to you.
02:14I blinked.
02:15Is everything okay?
02:16He stepped closer, hands in his pockets.
02:19Yeah.
02:20I just, I wanted to thank you.
02:23For what?
02:24I asked, genuinely puzzled.
02:26Jason looked down for a moment, then back up.
02:29For always making me feel like part of your family.
02:32I know you probably don't think it's a big deal, but it's meant a lot to me.
02:36My parents, they fight all the time.
02:38Being at your house, it's peaceful.
02:41His words caught me off guard.
02:43I'd always known his home life was tough, but he never opened up like this.
02:48Oh, Jason, I said, walking a little closer.
02:52You're always welcome here.
02:54You're like family.
02:55He nodded.
02:56I know.
02:57And that's the thing.
02:59Sometimes I wonder if you see how incredible you are.
03:02I laughed softly, caught between surprise and confusion.
03:07That's sweet of you to say.
03:09I mean it, he said.
03:10You're smart, kind, beautiful.
03:13The air shifted.
03:14There was a weight in the silence between us.
03:16I was about to say something, change the subject, maybe, but the door suddenly creaked again.
03:23Tyler stepped in with a bowl of popcorn in his hands, breaking the moment like a bubble popping.
03:29Hey, mom, he said casually, not noticing anything.
03:32I was just coming up.
03:34I turned quickly, hiding the flutter of confusion inside me.
03:38Just wanted to say goodnight, sweetheart.
03:40I'll see you in the morning.
03:42He grinned.
03:43Night, mom.
03:44Jason gave me a small nod.
03:47Goodnight, Mrs. Morrison.
03:49I closed the door behind me, heart pounding a little faster than it should have.
03:53The next day, I tried not to think about what happened, or rather, what almost happened.
03:58Maybe it was just a compliment.
04:00A harmless, kind gesture from a boy who felt safe in my home.
04:05But, part of me knew better.
04:06It wasn't just what he said.
04:09It was the way he looked at me.
04:11Over the next few weeks, Jason came over, as usual.
04:14But something had shifted.
04:16He was more attentive around me.
04:18More the wear.
04:19I'd catch him watching me when he thought, I wasn't looking.
04:23He'd offer to help with groceries or clean up after dinner.
04:25He complimented me more often, sometimes subtle, sometimes not.
04:30One afternoon, I was making lemonade in the kitchen when he walked in, sweaty from helping
04:35Tyler with yard work.
04:37He grabbed a glass and leaned against the counter.
04:40You look amazing today, by the way, he said.
04:42I paused, not sure how to respond.
04:46You always do, he added.
04:48Jason.
04:49I said carefully, keeping my voice gentle.
04:52I appreciate that, but...
04:54He raised a hand.
04:56I know.
04:57You're Tyler's mom.
04:58I get it.
04:59I'm not trying to make you uncomfortable.
05:02I just...
05:03I admire you.
05:04That's all.
05:05It should have ended there.
05:07But a part of me felt flattered.
05:09A part of me, the part that had been alone for years since my divorce, felt seen.
05:14Desired.
05:15Not by someone inappropriate or predatory, but by someone who,
05:18even in his youth, made me feel like more than just a mom in sweatpants and ponytails.
05:24One evening, Tyler went out with friends, and Jason stayed behind.
05:28He said he had a headache and wanted to rest.
05:31I was folding laundry again when I heard a soft knock on my bedroom door.
05:35Come in.
05:37I called, thinking it was Tyler.
05:39The door opened, and Jason stood there.
05:42Hey, he said quietly.
05:44Can I talk to you for a second?
05:46I nodded, confused but curious.
05:48Of course.
05:49He stepped in and closed the door gently behind him.
05:53I just...
05:54I needed to get something off my chest.
05:56I stood there, clothes in my arms, frozen.
06:00I know it's probably crazy, but I've felt this way for a while, he said.
06:04I look at you, and I see everything I wish I had in my life.
06:08Not just beauty but strength.
06:10Warmth.
06:11You listen.
06:12You care.
06:13And it's hard for me not to feel something more.
06:16Jason, you're young.
06:18I'm not a kid anymore, he interrupted, voice low but steady.
06:22I know what I feel, and I know what I see in your eyes sometimes.
06:27I'm not imagining that.
06:28I opened my mouth, but nothing came out.
06:31Then, like a whirlwind of emotion, I took a deep breath and said,
06:35Jason, I care about you, but you have your whole life ahead of you.
06:41I'm your best friend's mom.
06:42This can't happen.
06:44I know, he said, his voice soft and understanding.
06:48I just needed you to know.
06:49That's all.
06:51I'm not expecting anything.
06:53He turned to leave, and before he stepped out, he looked over his shoulder and smiled.
06:58You deserve to be seen, Jessica.
07:00Don't forget that.
07:01The door clicked shut behind him.
07:04I stood there, stunned, heartbeat wild.
07:07The honesty in his words had stirred something inside me I hadn't acknowledged in years.
07:13From that day forward, Jason never crossed the line again.
07:17He came by like normal, joked with Tyler, helped around the house,
07:20but whatever feelings he had, he kept buried.
07:24As for me, I carried his words with me.
07:26He reminded me that I wasn't invisible, that I was still capable of being admired,
07:32that I was more than just a mom stuck in routine.
07:35Months passed, and Jason eventually moved to California for college.
07:40Tyler and I dropped him off at the airport together.
07:43As we hugged goodbye, Jason whispered,
07:45Take care of yourself, Jessica.
07:48And I did.
07:49That moment changed something inside me.
07:51Not because of what almost happened, but because I realized I had spent so much time
07:56pouring into everyone else's lives that I'd forgotten to care for my own.
08:00I started doing little things, reading again, going out with friends, even trying dating.
08:05I smiled more.
08:07Laughed more.
08:08And with time, I started to feel alive again.
08:11Jason may have been a teenager, but his words came from a place of truth.
08:16And sometimes, the most unexp.
08:18You need to continue to get married.
08:22You need to write down.
08:24You need to be the person.
08:25I'll take care of you.
08:26Your children is surprise to you.
08:28And I'll give you some time.
08:29For me, give me five messages, Matthew.
08:43And I'll give you a couple of memories.
