Zoe stood frozen, she hadn't heard that voice in years and she really wasn't ready to see him again. The three of them pulled apart all apprehensive about seeing Matt again. Zoe took a deep breath as the creaking of the doors was heard. In he walked just like he owned the place, the way he always did. His eyes widened as he saw Zoe standing in his mums house with their daughter and her boyfriend. "Zoe" he spat she rolled her eyes in response, a little suprised with his voice, he was usually so calm and sweet. Well a lot can change in a person in twelve years. It wasn't even Zoe that left Matt, he walked out on her and Jasmine then swanned back onto the scene like superman when Zoe left. It irritated her just thinking about it. Matt in general irritated her. "Matt" she replied sarcastically placing a hand on her hip as a gesture that she wasn't going to back down no matter what kind of verbal abuse he threw her way. "What are you doing here" he asked shrugging off his coat. "I'm here to see my daughter Matt" Zoe rolled her eyes at him. "You lost the right to call her your daughter twelve years ago the day you walked out on her" he shouted stepping forward close up to her face "you walked out on us well before I did" she yelled back throwing her hands in the air "that doesn't change anything Zoe I came back for her because I actually gave a damn about our daughter" Zoe laughed "oh yeah you cared enough to leave her for London, she needed her dad" Matt rubbed his face getting more and more wound up "she needed her mum Zoe, she needed her mum" he quietened down a little rubbing his forehead. A little smile spread across Zoe's face, she had him exactly where she wanted, he had stopped yelling around and they could finally start to work out a way that meant they could both see Jasmine "what are you doing back?" Anne asked taking the opportunity to ask the question that had been on all their minds since they heard his voice. "I came to see my daughter but clearly I was beaten to it" he snarled a little flashing a dirty look Zoe and Nicks way. "Clearly" Zoe replied sarcastically actually quite enjoying rubbing it in Matts face that Jasmine wanted to see her. "How did you find Jaz" he asked ignoring her pervious comment "I didn't" Zoe said simply winking at Jasmine "she came to find me" she finished feeling pretty pleased with herself. Matt shot Jasmine a look of disbelief "you went to find her" he stuttered "she's my mum you can't really expect me to live my whole life without her" she raised her voice a little, Matt was shocked she had never shouted to him before. Taking a deep breath he nodded "ok so now you've met your mum you can see what a piece of work she is" he frowned Nick stepped in pushing Matt backwards "don't you dare say that about my Zoe" he said firmly not wanting to shout for Zoe and Jasmines sake. "Oh your Zoe?" He chuckled "how sweet you've fallen for her well let me tell you something mate she'll break your heart she always does" Nick cut him off "just shut up Matt you don't know the first thing about me and Zoe" he yelled "I know enough about Zoe thank you very much" Matt retaliated "no you don't ,you know what you want to know" Zoe replied "you never even tried to get to know me did you?" She said her voice a little saddened "oh and you were desperate to know all about me weren't you, you were still in love with this prat" he shouted again gesturing towards Nick. Nick clenched his fists "Nick don't, don't give him what he wants" Zoe whispered placing a hand on his arm. "You've got five minutes to say your goodbyes and get the hell out of here" He said through gritted teeth. "This is my mums house, it had absolutely nothing to do with you" Matt spat back. "No but I won't have you shouting around at Zoe and Jasmine like this" Nick replied calmly "it's a joke, you're all a joke" Matt laughed flopping down on the sofa. "So what you're going to stick around now are you pretend to care again!" Jasmine spoke up "I've always cared Jasmine you know that" Matt said quietly "no you haven't you have a go at mum for leaving my all the time but you forget you left me aswell" she yelled "it's alright Jaz you don't have have to do this" Zoe said stroking her arm "no I do I hate you dad I hate you" she screamed running up the stairs to her room and slamming the door. "Now see what you've done" Matt scolded Zoe "look what I've done, at least I'm trying to be a mum to her" she shouted back "don't you dare say that to me" he came close up to her face and saw the flicker of fear in her eyes "don't you dare slag me off to my daughter again". He shook his head and drew a breath between his teeth. "Shut up Zoe!" He yelled. "No Matt, get out of my life, you're no use to Jasmine, you never have been" she whispered actually really scared of him in that moment. That was it for Matt, he couldn't hold it back anymore. He brought his shaking hand up and slapped her straight on her left cheek.
