Life Without Parents

Parents

The next day I finished up matts and foxes hair then dropped fox off at his friends house for a sleepoverr then went back home.

"Matt I'm home!" I yelled as I entered the house.

"Hey kitten ," he said walking down the stairs.

"Hair looks good" I said.

"Well you did it so..."

I shook my head then walked over to the fridge grabbing a water bottle chugging the whole thing down not realizing I was thirsty.

"You okay, your sweating like crazy." Matt said.

"Im fine I feel great."

"I'll turn on the fan in case, its probably just stress"

"Thanks."

He walked over to the wall switching on the fan then walking back over to me. he picked me up bridal style and walked over to the couch sitting down with me on his lap.

"how come you never talk about your parents?" Matt asked.

"We didn't really get along. i felt like my life was a secret to them. they didn't understand me."

"But you love them."

"yes."

"What about you?" I asked

"My dad left us when I was four and my moms a drunk. she thinks my life is a mess when its really her life thats a mess."

"Why does she think your life is mess"

"I don't have a job and can't provide for us. She was spending all the money. we almost lost our house 3 years ago ."

"Then how did you make money."

"My mom sold me to a lady when she heard that we were going to loose the house."

"She didnt.....did she.." I asked worried

"No she just beat me."

I hugged him as hard as I could and he started crying and that cry became a sob. we sat there for a good 10 minutes until he stopped.

He looked me straight in the eye and kissed me on the nose saying,

"I love you kitten"

"I love you too."

"Thats why I care so much about Fox I never had a father and I don't want that to happen to him." Matts said seriously

"Thank you Matt "

I heard the house phone ringing and Matt picked it up. his face turned to complete shock.

"Is he ok........ so he's not talking at all............. can you get him out of the corner........... I'll be right over." Matt said.

"What's wrong?"

"Fox is in a corner crying he won't even talk or move he refuses to."

We quickly hopped in the car my legs and hands shaking like crazy from anxiety.

Matt must of noticed because he took my hand in his and continued to drive as fast as he could .

Finally we pulled up to the house. I jumped out of the car and ran through the door not even knocking seeing the thing I didn't want to see........
