Down to earth

(Matthew. Pov)
"Matthew" My mom snapped me out of my thoughts
"Yes mom?"
"Are you dun packing your things in the boxes I gave you?" She asked me. I was moving to London because my mom had a new job and she said we would finally have a house once we get to London. I live with my mom and my step father I don't have any siblings since my mother had me at a very young age. My step father never works he's an alcoholic and has madness issues. So my mom pays the rent on her own and she finally finished university and had a very good offer for a job in London. To be honest I don't really want to leave all my friends are going to miss me.

...

We left our apartment by 1:00 pm I took a last glance to Stratford a very small but lovely town. Once we got to London there where people everywhere the environment was different children's running in streets and people walking on sidewalks with their hands full of shopping bags. Once we got to our house it was made out of dark wood on the outside and it had about 5 windows in total. The house was normal size but perfect for a family of three. I hoped down the car and ran up in the house which was already unlocked since my mother was their earlier then me and my step father.

"Why don't you go have a walk around?" My mother told me with a nice sweet smile on her face.  I grabbed my earphones and left for a nice long walk around. What I never told anyone is I did have an older brother (step brother) we weren't related tho because Justin was my step father's son, to be honest Justin isn't any better than his father... He kept beating me up and making me do everything to his place like some sort of slave or something. But since he got in this signing career he's rarely home and my mother didn't know anything about the beating up I was afraid to tell her. My step father beats my mother up too sometimes and I didn't want to make things worst for her so I decided to keep it up to me. The streets were cold compared to Stratford people would just bump into you without even saying sorry instead they would shout at you "watch were your going for god sake!" One of them screams. Clouds were dark I could see the sun get hidden more and more and in a matter of time the city was covered by rainy grey clouds everywhere. I ran back home before you could tell I could feel the cold heavy water rise in my shoes each time I would press my foot against the broken streets.

...

I got home and with the first step I took in the house I felt my stomach get tighter I herd shouts and breaking glass... I knew my mom had sent me for a walk so she could try and talk to my step dad which I don't even consider as a step dad he disgusts me. When I came into the kitchen I saw my mother had the mark of Mark's hand (my step dad) on her cheek. I felt my self boil inside my anger grew by seconds. It smelt like alcohol and I knew Mark was drunk.

"What the fuck is wrong with you!" I screamed at the top of my lungs I couldn't control my anger anymore too late.

"Stay the fuck out of this its all your useless mom deserves raising a stupid kid like you." He shouts back. Tho his words didn't hurt me I didn't care about him.

"Next time you touch my mother again your dealing with the cops." I say and run up my room locking my self. Not long after I cried my self to sleep.

Dear journal, I miss my dad so badly Mark hit my mother again. I'm getting pissed more and more. My mom is what I love the most in this world no matter how hard I make it for her sometimes she always has my back and supports me. Tomorrow is school and I'm not ready for it I'm afraid... I'm different I just know it.
