Oh hey look!~ I updated.
Matt's P.O.V.
Of course my happiness didn't last too long. After a week of being away from my father and Ty, the child protective agency came looking after me. L and Light being the two that they are told a complete and utter lie about me even being there. They had me hide up in the attic with Mello and Near. We weren't to make a sound until they were out of the house and down the street.
Those two being the nosiest decided to sit near the stairs of the attic in order to listen to what those people were saying. I really didn't care, I just wanted my abusers to leave me alone. I want to start a new. A clean slate that I can carve into and make my own design on how my life will play out. Not some moron beating on me and calling me worthless, making me seem like I have nothing.
"Hm, what if they come back tomorrow?" Near asked while twirling a tuft of his hair. "I mean they can be sneaky bastards when they want to."
"What do you mean if they come back?" Mello cocked his eyebrow. "You know how those two down their can be." I watched as he took a bite out of his chocolate.
"Yeah I know Mels." Near sighed.
I went back to looking at my hands. I feel really out of place with these two. They talk about random things. From toys to quantum physics. Not that I don't get the quantum physics but still, we should talk about something different. I think I'm not use to having other people being nice to me all the time. Mello is always asking if I'm okay and Near is always wanting me to help him when he bakes things with L.
"Hey," I hear Mello call out to me. "Light said that he wanted you to start sleeping in your own room. So later on after school tomorrow we are going to clear out the huge guest room for you."
"O-okay."
Oh and did I mention they get me to talk to them a lot? L said that I'm anti social and need a social life so Near and Mels were in charge of that. Getting me to go out with them when they went grocery shopping, 'family' discussion during dinner. Anything that got me to talk they tried it.
"Matt, what are you going to do if your dad comes banging on this door one day?" he said seriously. "You know hypothetically speaking?"
I didn't have to think about my answer. "I'd tell him to fuck off and slam the door in his face."
There was the sound of foot steps coming up the stairs and then I caught sight of Light. "Its alright now, you guys can come down stairs." He held out his hand and I went go grab it. "What are we going to do with you?" He joked. I just shrugged.
"Well what did they say?" Mello asked eagerly.
"They told us to keep and eye out for him." I could tell Light rolled his eyes. "L and I are going to fight for custody of you Matt."
My heart stopped. They actually wanted me? Not any of that pity nonsense that other kids get? I felt the tears come to my eyes as we walked down the stairs and into the living room. They fell down my cheeks, leaving a trail until they fall off. L, who was perched in the chair smiled a little when he seen me.
" I take it you told him?" Light nodded and sat down next to me, wrapping his arms around me.
I didn't know how to feel about this. I feel as if all this emotion was shoved down my throat and forced down with a cup of water.
"Well, are you up for it?" Light asked.
"Y-yeah." I sniffed and wiped my eyes.
