Disclaimer: I don't own any of it! Well some of them are my characters.

A/N: I'm sorry that I haven't updated lately but I started a new story and it's so much easier to write. Anyway here is the next chapter; hopefully I still have some reviewers.

Matt's POV

From that point on I needed to know if this guy was my Dad so the next day after school I went back to the hospital. But when I asked the nurse she said he was released earlier that morning. I have to admit I was a little upset. His face had been haunting me. I needed to know if it was him. I had to know. After that I thanked the nurse and left. Mom and Uncle Dom were making chicken tonight so I needed to be home in time to help out.

"Matt will you pour drinks for me?" Aunt Letty asked but I didn't hear her. I was too busy thinking about the guy from the hospital.

"Matt." She said and waved a hand in front of my face.

"Huh, what?" I asked snapping out of my daze.

"Will you pour drinks?" She asked again starting to look worried. "Are you feeling ok? Your head hurting?"

"No. I'm fine. I'm just out of it." I said and left for the kitchen before she could ask any more questions. I entered the kitchen to pour drinks and go back to my thought when Vince and Leon came in from work. It was their turn to close the garage. Sydney and Jesse were closing the store.

"What are you doing kid?" Leon asked messing up my hair as he walked by.

"Nothing." I said after a few seconds. Leon raised an eyebrow at Vince. "What do you guys want to drink?" They both replied with beer and went out side.

Vince's POV

"Is Matt feeling ok?" I asked as I took a seat by Mia at the picnic table.

"I think so why?" She asked.

"He's acting really weird." Said Leon as he helped Dom with the chicken.

"He was acting funny a couple of minutes ago." Letty confirmed as Matt walked in with Jesse and Sydney behind him.

"Food ready?" Sydney asked as Dom gave her a hug.

"Yep." Leon said and started to put the chicken on the table.

"Matt would you get the salad from the kitchen?" Mia asked. Once again there was no reply and worry clouded Mia's eyes.

"Matt." I said in a firm voice bringing him back to earth.

"Huh, what?" He asked.

"Nothing." Mia said and went to get the salad and we all sat down at the table.

Matt's POV

After food was passed out and grace was said we began to eat or rather everyone else ate while I pushed my food around. I was too busy thinking to notice that everyone was staring at me.

"Ok what's going on with you?" Mom asked and I looked up to see that she had a worried look on her face.

"Nothing." I lied and went back to playing with my food. At that point I knew I would be bombarded with questions so I got up and left the table. By the time I made it to my room I knew that someone would be coming after me. I could put up with one or two people pushing but they had a habit of ganging up on Sydney and me to get answers. It was hard to lie to them. I lay on my bed and stared at the ceiling.

I just couldn't understand why I needed to know if it was him. But I had to know. It's creepy because for as long as I can remember I never wanted to know him let alone meet him. Why did I want to now? Was it because I could? Or because I have never had a father and this was my chance?

At that point I heard someone coming up the stairs.

"Matt can I come in?" Mom asked after she knocked. Everyone in the house was good about privacy.

"Yeah." I mumbled. I didn't want to upset Mom but I had to tell someone.

"You want to tell me what that was all about?" She asked and took a seat on my bed.

"Mom if you thought…. If you thought you saw someone…. I don't know how to say it." She just smiled at me. "I need to tell you something but I don't want you to feel bad." I said, finally getting it out.

"Well, from the looks of it this secret is tearing you up inside. We can all see it. You don't have to worry about me; whatever you have to say I'll be all right. I'm worried about you." She said and began to rub my back in a soothing way. I nodded and got up. I took the picture of Dad out of my closet and handed it to her.

"I think I saw him." I said in a small voice. She just stared at the picture, tears filled her eyes. My heart began to break. I had made her cry. I hate seeing Mom cry. "I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault." She wiped the tears from her eyes. "Are you sure you saw him?"

"I think so."

"Ok, come on we need to have a family meeting."

"What? Why?" I asked as I hurried after her. She had already made it down the stairs. Mom poked her head out of the door and announced that we needed to have a family meeting. Everyone got up and filed into the living room. I sat on the floor next to Sydney. She raised an eyebrow at my as if to ask 'What's wrong'? I shook my head.

"Ok what's going on?" Uncle Dom asked as he took a seat in his favorite chair. I looked at Mom begging her to tell them but one of the rules in our family meeting is that you have to tell your problem. The other rule is that only one person can talk at a time.

"Matt." Mom prompted as she sat down. All of the attention was on me.

"Ok first off I hate family meetings." Mom threw me a look that clearly said tell them what you told me. "I think I met my Dad." I said really fast praying that they didn't catch it.

"What was that?" Leon asked. I repeated what I had just said but this time I said slower and clearer. The room was silent.

"Are you positive?" Uncle Dom asked as he rubbed his head. I nodded.

"He was in the ER with me. After you guys beat him up." That's when I realized I had said way too much.

"How'd you know about that?" Vince asked. I looked at Sydney who shrugged her shoulders. We both knew there was no way out

"We might as well tell them, Syd. There's no talking our way out of this one." I said completely ignoring Vince's question.

"You and your big mouth." She said with a glare.

"Hey it slipped." I shot back.

She opened her mouth to say something back when Aunt Letty jumped in. "Would one of you tell us what going on?"

"Go ahead big mouth." Sydney said and hit me with a pillow. I threw her a glare and then began to tell them what had happened.

"So that was Tess who screamed?" Leon asked when I had finished. We both nodded.

"And you knocked over the trash cans?" Jesse asked me. I nodded again. "That was a good idea." Jesse said and Aunt Letty hit him upside the head.

"And I saw you run around the corner of the house?" Aunt Letty asked me. I nodded again.

Mom was livid. "Do you have any idea how dangerous that was?"

"Well you guys weren't telling us anything." I exclaimed in defense.

"So. There are a lot of things that we don't tell you guys. You snuck out and went back to the races, Matt. I really thought you had more sense than that." She cried making me feel even worse.

"What I don't get is, how did you beat us home? We would have seen you at least." Uncle Dom asked. I had left out the part about us going through Tran's territory.

I didn't say anything. I really didn't need to because they would figure it out anyway.

Aunt Letty was the first to figure it out. "You didn't!" I nodded. Then everyone else caught on.

"You went through Tran's territory!" Uncle Dom yelled. "How could you two be so stupid? If they had caught you would be dead right now! Do you realize that?"

"Actually we were more afraid you guys." Sydney spoke up.

"Well you should be." Aunt Letty growled at her. Everyone was mad at that point. Uncle Dom's face had turned red from anger, Aunt Letty was throwing us glares, Mom looked like she was going to kill, and Vince, Jesse, and Leon gave us disappointing looks.

"They wouldn't have thought twice about killing you two." Jesse said breaking the silence.

"I know." I whispered. After a few minutes of silence Mom broke the silence.

"I'll talk to you later. I'm too mad right now." Uncle Dom nodded in agreement.
