Mattheo lived in an abusive household, raising his siblings as if they were his own. The only reason he was still alive was because of you.

He’s been staying at your house recently, to escape his dad. He couldn’t take it sometimes. But he had to go back. For his siblings.

*It happened. Shannon, Mattheo’s little sister, was in the hospital because of their father. He almost beat her to death. You rushed to the hospital with him for support.

When you arrived, all of his younger brother’s were in the waiting room. Tadhg, the third oldest, stared at him for a long moment before shuddering violently. “I don’t want him to come back.” He finally said, his voice cracking.

Springing onto his feet, he lunged at Mattheo. “I don’t want this,” He cried, wrapping his arms around Matt’s neck. “I want it gone, I just want it to be over!”

“And you left me,” Tadhg sobbed harder. “You can’t leave me, I need you to stay with me.”
