A/N:

Just a warning: This story isn't actually 7th Heaven bashing but it's to be the TV show itself into a modern spin instead of the entire family being in some kind of alternate universe where they are the center of the small community that is Glen Oak, California. I have watched 7th Heaven and I do continue to watch it but this is how I would see it without all of the religious storylines and sappy shit stories.

Matt Part 1:

I've been dating the greatest girlfriend in the entire world.

Her name is Amber and she's totally cool but she has a problem.

She drinks hard liquors every chance that she can get and when she drinks, she's what would be called as an angry drunk.

She hits me too often to count and I always have to cover them up by wearing long sleeves or a jacket.

If I have to wear a t-shirt and someone sees my bruises, I just give some lame excuses.

I know that it won't last long but what can I do?

I once got a black eye from not getting her favorite alcohol which happens to be tequlia and rum.

Our apartment always has empty or half empty shots of something because of her.

After I got the black eye, we had a huge fight and she had been drinking heavily again.

She somehow pulled my arm around my body and then turned me around.

She threw me like a rag doll against our bedroom wall until my arm was broken and twisted.

The pain hurt so bad that it's hard to put it into words even now.

She always does shit like that to me.

What can I do?

Tell one of my Dad's church people and then have it be in the church ladies latest gossip talk.

I don't want that because rarely men here in Glen Oak would admit that their girlfriends beat them up.

It's shameful and I'll get laughed at because people will think that I'm weak.

Even if I do break up with Amber, I'll probably never get to meet that perfect woman to have sex with after I marry her of course.

Not that I think about sex as much as the guys that I've befriended in my high school days.
