I'm freaking out in the backseat. I don't know what's going on.

conversation broke out. Matt was like, oh yeah, you know, the gangbang, whatever. He was like, I wish you could do that. He was like, no, I don't do that. No, no, no, no. He was like, what? And he took it offensively. He got really mad and, you know, a fight broke out between the two.

He said, F you. I'm going to take your girlfriend. I'm freaking out in the backseat. I don't know what's going on. The gun was cocked, and he was pointing it at me. And, like, I saw it, and I was like, holy . I'm trying to de-escalate the situation, trying to get him to just calm down. And then, like, all I saw was Nate just slap out of his hand.

So, I'm pregnant, and it's a very serious, and I'm very hormonal and emotional. My boyfriend's life was in danger. I was panicking. I'm pregnant. I don't know what to do. And in that split second, I just, I didn't even, I just went like that, and that was it.

I freaked out. I asked Nate if he could drive us back home. He went inside. He was freaking out.

I thought burning him would be faster. But then I stopped because I was like, I'm a passionate girl. I don't do things like this.

So I think maybe... The grips of addiction could have came in play and he could have possibly been in the wrong place at the wrong time, but that doesn't define him as a man. I'm just glad that he got justice and the people that did it are just behind bars.

I met Matt just from living in Williamstown. Matt was a little bit older than me. He was always a good kid. He loved his family. He did have a lot of friends. He was always trying to make people laugh.

there was a relative or somebody that he knew out there. So that's why he went to Florida.

When I knew him, I could say we all partied a little bit here and there, but I don't really know what kind of drugs he was using.

He had his own issues going on and just got involved with the wrong people.

He was a good person. Maybe, you know, he had his own issues going on and just got involved with the wrong people.
