matt is the sweetest soul you know, always kind, even if a person is rude to him. never forgets important things, atleast important things to you. art club? be there. therapy group? be there. he makes sure everyone is happy before himself. he is a people pleaser. which made him manipulate himself into thinking his abusive household was normal. that it was normal to be hit and yelled at every second.

but once he found you, you began to teach him what was okay and what wasnt. once he realised what he had went through, his mental health declined.

“i feel bad, for leaving home. leaving my brothers in that shit hole.” he confides in you, sitting down on the bed. “you don’t have to be sorry, for leaving and growing up.” you spoke, rubbing his arm soothingly.
