Today was the day. Hannabi was finally turning 14. Matt knew that at this age kids started to get a bit rebel. He knew it so well after seeing Liliana and Pheonix grow up, his brother's twin daughters. He seriously wondered how in the world could Jeff resist all that shit; well maybe because Fallyn was there and helped Jeff out. Once it was that way for him too. Lizzie, Damn how he missed Lizzie. He missed the old days when it was him, Elizabeth and Hannabi. Those were the good old days. But after that day everything changed; for both him and Hannabi.
Hannabi never stopped blaming him, maybe that's why she hated him so much. You see Lizzie and Matt were supposed to take lil Hannabi to school together; but since Lizzie and Matt were fighting that morning, Elizabeth went off mad to take Hannabi and when she was on her way back she had a car accident and died. Hannabi screamed, broke everything and blamed Matt. Those words still lingered in his head 'It's your fault! If you were there, none of that would have happened!' And what did he do? He cried, got drunk, got wasted. It was so ironic since the man that killed Lizzie was drunk. That shouldn't be allowed.
That's when things with Hannabi started to get difficult. He understood, not having a mom around wasn't easy, he knew it very well. He sometimes envied Jeff since he had Fallyn around. He missed the old days, getting drunk with his brother and fooling around. But when Jeff meet Fallyn, they got married and Jeff moved out of the 'Hardy Residence' like they both called it. He went to the city and soon after got his two baby girls. No, he didn't hate Fallyn. Matt loved her, she was like a sister to him, he just sometimes missed his baby bro.
Now he was sitting in his sofa, sulking. Thinking of a way he could make Hannabi smile. In the morning when he went up to her room to wake her up and wish her a happy birthday, her reply was 'fuck off and just take me to school' so he did. When he brought her back, she just went upstairs and locked herself in the room. He sighed. 'Teenagers'.
Matt was lost in his thoughts when he heard something shatter from the kitchen. He turned around the corner and saw Hannabi staring at what had shattered. Her eyes fixed on it, without looking at her father even if she felt his presence. It was Matt's REALLY expensive monster dragon that sat in the kitchen before you headed to the living room. That was it. Hannabi knew how much Matt loved that little thing.
-"What the hell happened Hannabi?"
-"It was a accident! I was just gonna go to the living room!"
-"An accident? You expect me to believe that shit? I ain't taking none of it, don't tell me you just tripped and fell!"
- "I did! I was looking in my I Phone didn't saw where I was going!"
-"Bullshit! You actually expect me to believe you?"
-"You know what?Just fuck you. I have nothing to prove to you. Why the hell is that so important anyways?"
-"Hey watch your mouth missy!"
They both turned their heads when they heard Jeff's voice in the room. Hannabi's eyes lighten up and she quickly ran into Jeff's arms.
-"Jeff!"
-"Hey birthday girl, why so pissy at daddy?" Jeff asked Hannabi as he lifted her up.
-"She broke the dragon figure." Matt cut in.
-"Oh Hanna, you know that's important for daddy."
-"It was an acc-"
-"Accident? stop kidding around Hannabi!" Matt cut in once again boiling with anger.
-"Now wait just a second Matt. Why the hell are you being such an ass for? Screaming at Hannabi that way, she's only a kid!" Jeff screamed back at his brother putting Hannabi back in the floor.
-"So now you're on her side?
-"Matt what the hell? this is not about sides!" Jeff screamed back at Matt walking towards him, nose to nose about to start a fight.
-"Alright boys, fight time's over." Fallyn step in pushing the brothers apart.
-"Hi uncle Matty!" the twins said in unison. Matt sighed and walked down stairs. Hannabi stared down at the floor.
-"Come on baby girl, let's talk." Jeff called at Hannabi walking towards her room. Hannabi looked at Fallyn. She smiled and nod.
-"Go." Fallyn said and walked downstairs with her daughters to meet with Matt. Hannabi sighed and walked to her room.
