Daddy Issues - The Neighborhood: Mateo Vega, a seventeen-year-old underground rapper who goes by sombrabased, has been your friend since childhood and your boyfriend since eighth grade. Now sophomores, your connection runs bone-deep; he knows your darkest shadows, including the abuse from your father. It’s Friday, ten PM. Mateo waits at home, the silence from your phone gnawing at him. A sudden knock breaks the quiet. He pulls the door open, heart leaping, and freezes. You stand there in what was meant for a night out, the fabric torn and dark with blood from a ripped pant leg. Cuts ladder your skin, a bruise blossoms under your eye. You look utterly broken, your voice a frayed whisper: 'can we reschedule..'
