Author's Comments: Hey. Got another story for you Matty/Taylor (Knockaround Guys) fans.
Summary: From Taylor's point-of-view. When he first met Matty to the end of the movie.
Chapter 1: Meeting Matty
Me and Matty first met when we were 6 years old. My dad and Matty's pop went to school together but once out, drifted apart. Then years later, my father got a hold of Benny Chains' and they hung out. Planned to meet up another time and introduce the families.
So Benny took his family over my house for dinner. Me and Matty didn't really talk at first but I was interested in him because he was a kid, like me. I didn't have many friends, mostly because everyone knew my father was in the mob and steered clear, but because I was Jewish, too.
I remember Matty's mom, before she died of cancer. She had long dark hair, blue eyes, and big lips covered in red lipstick. She was patient, polite. Very much unlike Matty's dad, who insulted and belittled Matty and his mother during dinner.
After dinner, my mom told me and Matty to go play in my room. I had some toys, mostly planes and trucks. But Matty didn't want to play and I didn't really, either. So we watched TV instead. I had a small one in my room. Matty was mostly quiet but he talked when I did.
"Do you like this movie?" I asked, Star Wars, The New Hope, on. Matty shook his head and I liked the movie, too, so we kept it on that channel.
By the time Benny called for Matty, the movie was still on.
"But the movie's not over, yet," Matty had said.
"Come on, Matty. Do you really think we can't just buy it on our own? Get over here," Benny answered. I watched Matty; he frowned and sighed, then stood up, walking out of my room. I felt bad for him.
The Demaret's left and then the house was quiet. My mom went to the living room to watch TV and my father left the house, to work, or do whatever else he did. So I stayed in my room and watched the rest of Star Wars before bed.
