TW: abuse

Matt POV:
"Shit," I mutter. I slam the door in my father's face but he pushes it back open. 

"Come on. Dont you wanna see your dear old dad?" he asks.

"Dad, this isnt the best time..." I say trying to get him out. Of course he ignores me and shoves through.

"So... This is where you live," he said patting my back.

"Dad, me and my roommate are kind of in the middle of something," I tell him. (Get your mind out of the damn gutter) Honestly, I don't think he heard me because he just shoved through and acted like I didn't say anything.

My dad walked into the living room as I tried to get him back to the front door so maybe he'd leave. Then he saw Gus and all the medical supplies on the couch and said something that sounded like a mix between yeesh and oh titan. Gus looked like he wanted to say something but closed his mouth and bit his lip.

I'd told him about what my dad had done to me as a kid. I never wanted to relive it so I moved out and Gus joined me (well we're still required to go over to Gus's dads house every other day for dinner). I remembered breaking down in tears over just the thought of all of it. I remembered sitting on the floor in Gus's embrace while I cried into his shoulder as he tried to comfort me.

I don't think I'd ever forget it.

"Wow kid, you look awful," my dad told Gus.   Gus lowered his gaze and became very interested in a peice of fluff on the couch. "Dad you can see why this isn't the best time for you-" "Aw, come on kid. I can help out," he said confidently. Well I wish you'd leave I thought.

Then the doorbell rung again and I looked at my dad. "Here's how you can help," I started, "make sure he stays here." I pointed at Gus then turned around and left.

Thank titan it was the group and not some delivery demon or something. I opened the door and was immediately showered with questions.

"Is everything okay?"

"What happened?"

"What can we do?"

"How is he?"

"Guys," I said trying to stop the questions. "Calm down. He's uhhh... well you'll see."

We walked back into the living room and Gus was walking (well, kind of) towards us. Meanwhile, my dad was asleep on the oppiset end of the couch.

"Gus! Sit down! What are you doing?" he sat down but before he could answer I turned on my dad and practically screamed, "Dad! What are you doing?"

He jumped up and stuttered, "I-B- wha?"

I shook my head and turned around to see Gus being smothered by everyone else (especially Luz and Willow).

"Give him some space," I said towards the group. They all took a step back and stopped asking so many questions.

"Sorry Gus," Luz muttered. "Yeah, we're just really worried," Willow chimed in. Hunter and Amity nodded in agreement both staring at my dad on the other end of the couch.

Gus gave me a look of thanks and smiled. Then I turned around and adressed the elephant in the room.

"Dad," I said a bit louder than expected. "Can I um... talk to you," I said pointing to the other room.

We walked away and I said sternly "Dad, I need you to leave." He looked offended and I flinched a bit.

"Come on. Theres never a better time to talk to your old man?" he asked (I regret teaching him human terms).

"There couldn't be a worse time," I said, fuming.

"Kid, just-"

"No, leave. There is something going on and you can't help, so leave. And for all care dont come back," I exclaimed.

I'd basically screamed the last part. I gasped. I covered my mouth and took a step back as my father raised his hand.

His conveniently placed ring was backwards and the sharp part struck my face.

I blacked out for a moment. When I regained consienseness my face stung. I lifted my hand up to feel the blood running down my cheek.

"L-l-leave," I said again.

"I'm-"

"Get out."

My father looked me in the eyes one last time then left.

And I tried not to cry.
