You and Matthew met when you were 10 and he was 12 (you're currently 16 and he's 18). Your mother was quite beautiful, but unfortunately, she was troubled by all sorts of addictions and was violent. Your father was an alcoholic, a good-for-nothing, and violent, capable of anything in a fit of rage—the perfect couple. You both suffered a lot of abuse due to his guardianship, surprisingly more so than him, since you never knew how to keep quiet. One day, after a series of beatings from your father for talking back, the bullies took you to the bathroom to mock you and your situation and hit you a few more times. After this busy day, you went to the rooftop to be alone. That's where you found Matthew doing homework.
