“ I…I don’t mind at all.” Matt says as I look to see his hands
“ What the hell Matt your hands.” I state as the to moms break their hugs to look at his hands
“ Matty what did you do sweetie?” Susan says as Chelsea leaves towards the kitchen
“ I um well hit the fridge. Sorry again I can’t say why.” He says as Susan leads him to the couch
Chelsea came back with the first aid kit. They both doctored his wounds as George and I sat back down. I couldn’t help but feel something very bad happened that made this smart, loving, and strong young man to snap. Because he never went looking for a fight. George made sure he taught all three boys self restraint when he started defense training. When he is around us he is caring, loving, and some what emotional, but what has changed at home has my curiosity running wild. I looked at George then asked if he wanted to take a ride. He asked why and I answered saying we will need more beer as the boys will probably want to party. He looks at me as I motion him with my eyes at Matt. He finally gets the hint saying sure.
After leaving the house we make our way to the street Billy and Mary live on. As we slowly drive by we see what looks like a Corvette. It’s the same one Billy drove around in.
“ Holy Shit damn what a waste of a car. Who do you think?” George tries to finish as I cut him off
“ Matty.” I say as I keep driving hearing loud music come from the house
“ Damn I think there is more to everything. I guess we just need to let Matt tell us on his own.” George says as I nod
“ Exactly. I for one don’t want him to do that to my Chevelle 454.” I say as he agrees
“ Let’s make sure our sons have a great summer, and make sure Matt has a great birthday as you know his parents won’t do anything for him after the way things went by the look of things.” George says as I nod pulling away
We do stop by a store to get more beer as to not lie to our wives. On the ride home I think of what to get Matt for his birthday. I know what he needs, but it seems they really don’t care as of late. I let out a sigh then it hits me. I smile as I decide on that as he could use one away from home if he ever decides to leave us.
