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

A/N: I'm so excited! I got 5 reviews! And they were all compliments! I'm shocked! Thank you so much! I seriously thought that was the worst chapter ever. Anyway I'm sorry for the wait I got grounded then I had to update my other story because it had been like 3 week since I updated that story and I'm having writer's block so I'm sorry if this is bad. Anyway I loved the reviews and I hope you like the chapter.

Matt's POV

Everyone took an hour and a half to cool off. And when we met back into the living room to finish the meeting I thought that I could still see steam coming out of Mom's ears. If looks could kill Sydney and I would have been dead before we even thought of running out of the room. I hadn't seen them this mad in a really long time. I mean a really long time.

"Three months. No car, TV, phone, computer, or radio." Uncle Dom said, giving us our punishment. "The only time you drive is to school iswhen you have practice or a game after school."

Leon let out a whistle and Mom sent him a glare. "And if we ever catch you thinking of going through their territory again I'll personally drive you over and let Tran beat both of you up." Mom growled and I knew that wasn't a threat, it was a promise. I nodded. Sydney's eyes were wide. This was the deepest trouble she had gotten into.

"Why did you, Vince, and Leon beat him up?" I asked out of nowhere catching everyone off guard.

No one said anything for a while. "It was more like a revenge thing." Uncle Dom said after a minute.

"For leaving?" I asked.

"For not coming back." He corrected me. I raised an eyebrow.

"This story starts many years ago. Before you and Sydney were born. We were short on money. In big debt. We owed people money we didn't have. Then your Mom got accepted to medical school and we needed more money to pay for that." He stopped. I think he was trying to figure out how to tell. After a few seconds he began again. He told us that they came up with a plan to highjack trucks that carried DVD players and then sold them for tons of money.

I was stunned when he told us that my Dad had been a cop and was trying to bust them.

"We were going to pull one last job. Then take a break for a while. But things got complicated. Vince was already out of the car when I saw that the driver had a shotgun. He got stuck and we couldn't get him off. Letty tried to get him off of the truck but the idiot hit her car and flipped it. I thought she was dead. Then my car broke down and I couldn't get him off of there. That's when Mia and Brian pulled up. Brian got Vince off the truck but we had to get him to a hospital. That's when I found out he was a cop. He blew his cover to save V." By that time my eyes were huge. I couldn't believe it.

"After you and Sydney were born the cops were so close to busting us. So he said he'd go away for about a month and draw all of the attention away from us. He wasn't supposed to be gone that long. Then he never came back."

Once again silence filled the house. I couldn't believe what I had just heard. It was so crazy. I just couldn't believe it! I didn't want to.

"Matt are you ok?" Mom asked I looked up to see that her face no longer held anger. She was worried.

"I'm gonna go to bed." I said softly my voice was barely above a whisper. Then I got up and walked quickly up the stairs to my room and shut the door behind me. I changed into an old shirt and sweat pants and crawled under the covers. A few minutes later I heard someone come upstairs they opened my door but my back was turned to them. After they left I started to cry.

I had been wrong. I was sure that my Dad had left us without a reason. I was wrong. I hated it! I was so mad because he had never come back.

Besides being mad I was stunned! I knew Uncle Dom and everyone had a record with the police but I never expected this. It was just so mind blowing!


I was still thinking about it after school the next day. I was sitting in the store doing homework or at least trying to when a man walked in. I turned to see my Dad standing there.

A/N: Cliffhanger! Dun Dun Dun! I think this was the shortest and stupidest chapter I've ever written but I had to get something out. I hope you guys still like the story. Please please please review!
