Chapter 35

Matt arrived with the food, but he was shaking. "Ah, you brought the Tacos! Where's that emo kid you were with?" asked Stan who came into the kitchen holding plates. Soos and Melody were also helping out in the kitchen.

"He…… went home. He had a hot date!" said Matt with a grin.

"Oh, well that settles things. Come and eat something! You look like you just saw a dead man or something." Said Stan.

"I'm going to the bathroom. I'll be back." Said Matt as he walked upstairs.

Matt went into the bathroom and splashed water all over his face. He breathed in very deeply and hard. He then began to cry. However, he looked at the mirror to see his reflection, and he saw Marcos instead. Matt figured it was his imagination or a trick of the light. Maybe he was growing up, looking more like him with each passing day.

"Don't be mad at Tyrone. He loves you very much. He would never hurt you." Said Marcos through the mirror. Matt closed his eyes and saw his own reflection instead.

But he did hear a voice, although only in his thoughts. "Forgive him. He is not like Dad."

Matt realized that is why he was angry. The trauma of seeing his father naked with a woman who wasn't even his mother still stung him as if it happened recently.

"it's okay to be mad and disappointed, but be patient." Said Marcos's voice.

Matt put the towel away and opened the door to see Tyrone. "Matt, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to….."

Matt interrupted him. "Don't talk to me. Not right now." Said Matt very angrily. He walked away.

"Please don't be mad! I can explain!" cried Tyrone.

"Explain what?! Dipper and Mabel are dying and you are out there prostituting yourself!" screamed Matt.

"That's not fair Matt. I am scared just as much as you! But don't take it out on me." Said Tyrone.

"I don't want to talk to you. Not right now. It just hurts so much!" cried Matt with tears swelling up in his eyes.

"Matt! Grow UP!" cried Tyrone.

Matt turned and punched Tyrone in the stomach. Tyrone then pushed Matt towards the wall and Matt quickly ran to punch Tyrone.

"Take this you freaking white kid!" cried Matt.

"Don't call me that you little punk!" cried Tyrone as he punched Matt in the arm. Matt screamed and cried on the floor.

Stan, Ford, Soos, and Melody ran upstairs. "What's going on!" screamed Ford.

"Matt! What happened?!" cried Melody as she helped Matt up. He looked at Tyrone angrily.

"I hate you." He whispered.

"Matt!" said Soos clearly surprised. Tyrone turned around and went to his room.

Of coarse, Tyrone screamed in his pillow. And that was about it. He then began to cry. He felt awful for hurting Matt. For calling him names and hurting him. He felt dreadful.

Just then, he heard a voice calling him in his mind. A voice he never heard before. Or maybe once. He wasn't sure. But it was calm and soft.

"You were right. He needs to grow up. But give him time. He'll come around. You'll see."

Tyrone felt something creep up behind him and he turned to see Ford. "Uncle." Said Tyrone.

"I don't know what beef you had with Matt, but is there something we need to know?" asked Ford.

"Just…. I was with Destiny." Said Tyrone.

"And?" asked Ford.

"He kinda caught us…… we were both…… doing it." Said Tyrone.

Ford nodded. "I see. So that's why he was very mad at you." Said Ford.

"He has a right to be mad." Said Tyrone.

"Then why did you hurt him in return? You just had to understand that he looks up to you, and to see you doing something he is not ready to face…." Said Ford, stopping himself.

"He has seen it before. But through his father." Said Tyrone.

"I see. An old wound was reopened." Said Ford.

"I didn't mean for this to happen." Said Tyrone.

Ford sat down and smiled at Tyrone. "Stan and I went through the same thing when we were young." Said Ford.

"What?" asked Tyrone.

"Stan was the one with the girlfriends. I never had luck with women. One night, our parents were out of town and so was I. I just so happened to be at the library studying. When I got home from the library, I found Stan with a young woman making out on the couch. Back then, making out in the dark was such a bad thing. We got into a fist fight and he broke my glasses. Our parents were furious when they arrived and found us both almost killing each other. But in the end, we realized that we still oved each other despite what happened. You and Matt have something special. Don't ever lose it." Said Ford as he got up.

"Now, I'm going to check on our patients. Think about it, and learn to forgive him. That boy loves you." Said Ford.

Matt was comforted by Soos, Melody and Stan.

"…. And after that, we got into a big fight! I punched him so hard, I broke his glasses. Mom and Pops were angry. They almost kicked me out." Said Stan.

"Forgive your brother Matt. I mean… it was just a kiss on the couch right?" said Melody.

Matt never told them the details. He just simply said he saw them making out on the couch.

"Right…." Said Matt.

"See? No problem. Only little kissies." Said Soos.

"We got Tacos if you want kid. Just heat them up when your hungry." Said Stan cheerfully. They all left the room and Matt fell on his bed.

He heard a knock and it was Tyrone.

"Just a kiss on a couch?" he said with his eye brow raised and with a smile.

"Your lucky I don't hold grudges." Said Matt with his arms folded.

"You didn't tell them about me and Destiny?" asked Tyrone.

"No. Your different. This is different." Said Matt.

Tyrone walked towards Matt. "Look. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to…."

"It wasn't your fault this time. Huck opened and let me in. If anyone is to say sorry, it is me. I'm sorry." Said Matt.

"Awkward sibling hug?" asked Tyrone.

"Sincere Sibling Hug." Said Matt.

They both hugged each other tightly. "I love you. You know that." Said Tyrone.

"And I love you too. I'm sorry I said…."

"NO. Forget it. Just say you love me. And I'll say it back little bro." said Tyrone.
