An hour later my friends left and my parents came home from work. Well my mum and my step dad. I didn't really get on with my step dad he was always trying to be my real dad. We never really got along, he hated my guts and I hated his. I love my mum, although I never understood why she pretended to love Liam (my step dad) when she clearly didn't like him. "Matty my baby!" My mum came running through the door into my bedroom, "I heard what happened! Is my baby OK? Do you want some water and tablets? I can get them it's no problem! Anything for my baby boy!"
"Mum really I'm OK! I feel fine now."
"Oh OK then." She walked towards me and gave me a hug. "Sally!" Liam shouted from downstairs, "come down here!"
"I'm so sorry Matt but I have to go down and see your father."
"He's NOT my father!" I snapped, "AND HE NEVER WILL BE!" I knew I was overreacting but I also knew that what I was saying was true. Mum looked at me, shocked. "I understand you're tired but you really need to calm down honey." That's when I really got annoyed. "I do NOT need to calm down."
"Matty-"
"Just go away!" When she left I locked the door so nobody could come in. I needed to be alone to calm down properly. I got my short temper from my dad. I also got my anxiety from dad, and my dyslexia. He was the only one in my family who really every understood me, although he lost his temper alot he was kind and gave me way too many second chances. I got very few genes from my mum. And a ton from my dad. I had his black hair, I had his nose, his mouth, his ears, his jaw. The only genes I got from my mum was her eyes and her ability to sing... "NO!" I told myself "that's not who you are that's not who you wanna be remember?" I remember my dad so clearly and I wish he was here so bad but he's not. Truth is he's not alive. Truth is it's my fault. Truth is I hadn't told anyone. Truth is I wanted to. Truth is I never did.
