Have you ever wondered why Matt never got along with his father? Well this is why.
"Dad when is Mom gonna have the baby," asked two year old Matt. Hes been talking for several months now. He picked up on talking pretty early for his age.
"I don't know, and don't care." Eric never really wanted kids in the first place and never wanted to even marry Annie, but out popped Matt and the next thing he knows hes getting married. He took another sip of his beer. "Matt go to your room! I don't even want to look at you anymore!"
"Why Daddy?" Matt never understood what he did to make his Dad so mad. All he knew is that Mommy told him to do what he was told. Annie wasn't home, and she never liked being home, she never wanted to risk losing her baby by another one of Eric's beatings. She felt horrible about leaving Matt behind but there was just no where Annie and Matt could go together, and Matt never wanted to leave his Dad.
"I don't like you and don't feel like putting up with your shit right now! Get out of here!" Matt made his way up the stairs to his room. He just didn't understand, he loves his Daddy. He sat in the middle of his room and played quietly. He knew dad would be taking his nap soon, he always did after he finished drinking. Matt had just recovered from a few bruised ribs, and hadn't recovered most of his strength yet. After hours of with some action figures Matt got bored and wondered into his Mom and Dads room. He looked around and saw one of his matchbox cars his daddy took last week, and Matt really wanted to play with it real bad. So he pushed the chair that probably weighed more than him over to the shelf. He pulled his tiny body on to the chair but he still wasn't high enough so he had to stand on his tippy toes. Unfortunately Matt fell forward and knocked the shelf off the wall.
"What the hell is that kid up to now?" Eric got up and stormed upstairs and saw matt laying on the floor holding his wrist and bawling in a tiny ball.
"So you hurt your wrist? Well look at the mess you made you little shit! That ain't going to be the only thing hurting!" With that he picked up Matt and through him against the wall and started kicking him in the gut. "I'll show you to break other peoples things!" Matt continued to wail and scream. "Shut up! Your nothing to me, you weren't even suppose to be on this Earth, I never wanted you. I hate you!"
AT ANNIE'S FRIENDS HOUSE
"Carol I need to go home."
"Why? Is everything alright?"
"No Carol it's not. Eric he's abusive and he's always b–b-beating Matt."
"What? Annie you need to tell the police!"
"No, Eric is a good man, its just when he drinks he becomes violent. I'm sorry I need to go now. Something doesn't feel right."
"Ok let me give you ride, ok?"
"Ok, that would be real helpful." Annie just prayed everything would be alright.
A few minutes later
"Carol stay here. I'll be right back."
"Ok Annie, bring Matt with you to my house, we can find a place for him to sleep."
"Well that's not the problem he just loves being with his dad, I just don't know why."
"Well you force that little squirt to come visit his aunty Carol."
"Ok I'll be back in a minute, if I'm not back in 10 minutes come in, cause that means something's wrong."
Annie rushed inside and heard Matt bawling. She didn't see Erics car in the driveway, so he must have left to go to the pool hall. She followed the sounds of Matts cries and she came to her bedroom, she saw the shelf laying on the ground and on the other side of the bed lied a beaten Matt
"Oh my god Matt! Sweety I'm so sorry, I won't ever leave you again."
"Mommy I hate Daddy, I hate him." Annie looked down at her son and saw the anger in his eyes and knew things would never be the same between Matt and his father.
