(Picture is Hunter)
I gasped and stared at him in shock, I shook my head a stood, he pulled me to him and moved my hair out of my face,
"You spoke, when you was having a nightmare, you have a cute voice, you should speak more often" I shook my head and looked away'
"Please Lilly" I shook my head again, he kept saying please and it got on my nerves,
"Shut up Hunter!" I gasped fuck I just said that! his eyes widened and he smiled with excitement,
"You spoke again!" He jumped up and fist bumped the air, I glared and walked out the room and noticed everyone else was in the kitchen, Caiden was eating pancakes and I sat next to him, ruffling his hair and he glared at me playfully, causing me to giggle, Hunter walked in and smiled at me, he sat and spoke,
"So Lilly?" I glared again, as he spoke again
"Speak" Caiden eyes widened and spoke for me,
"She hasn't talked since she was 11" hunter raised an eyebrow,
"That's funny, did you know she sleep talks?" my eyes widened and everyone looked at me with shock, Blake shuffled closer,
"Minnie please talk" I looked at Caiden with panic, and he sighed,
"It's okay Lilly" I gulped and nodded, then looked at Hunter, he smiled encouragingly, he asked a question for me,
"Do you want pancakes?" I shook my head, I can't do it, I pushed the chair back and walked out, I can't stand the disappointment on there faces, I felt tears roll down my face as I sat on the step outside, I looked to my left when I seen someone sit down, hunter looked at me and smiled sadly,
"I'm sorry, I pushed you to far Lilly" I wiped my face when he pulled me closer, Caiden's voice made me jump and Hunter wrap his arms around me protectively,
"Sis we need to go home to get changed" I stood and nodded, I took his hand then waved with my other hand to Hunter who nodded, once we got home, we got ready for school, and left. Once we got to his school before he turned to leave, I pulled him back and kissed his head and ruffled his hair, he laughed and pushed me away playfully, I smiled and walked to school. Once I got there Missy jumped into my arms and signed,
How are you?
I'm okay, you?
Good, guess what?
What?
Your meant to guess Lilly-Bug!!
But Missy-Moo!!!
Fine, well Swayer asked me out last night! We both jumped up squealing like pigs, some people turned our way and looked at us like where crazy, which made us laugh like hyenas, causing more people to look, until Hunter and his crew came over to us they all looked at us with confusion, I grinned, and Missy blushed, causing me to burst out laughing while pointing at her, she glared and started chasing me around the school parking lot, I hide behind Hunter while still laughing, just as she ran past Swayer, he pulled her back into his chest and kissed her cheek,
"Morning beautiful" she blushed again causing me to snort, making everyone laugh.
After school me and Caiden went to the hospital and noticed Luke was in her room, checking the board Caiden quietly walked to mom and kissed her head while I held her hand, Luke spoke,
"Hello Caiden, Lilly" I waved and Caiden smiled, he spoke again,
"Lilly, I heard your school was asking you guys to spend a day at the hospital, so I was wondering if you wanted to help me?" I looked up and nodded, I kissed moms face and looked at Caiden,
"I'll wait here sis" I nodded and followed Luke as he spoke,
"Right well I got you an appointment now, I didn't know if you wanted your to know so I made that up, his names Brody, he's nice you will like him" I smiled and followed him to the room, once we got there we both sat while someone came out the office into this comfy room that sat opposite us, he smiled, his hair was sandy blonde, with green eyes, same hight as Hunter, he also wear a business suit,
"Hello Lilliana, I'm Brody as Luke has probably all ready told you" I nodded
"He also mentioned, you refused to speak and therefore are mute, that correct?" I nodded
"Okay, I'm going to give you this card that says yes and no, one said says yes the other says no, I want you to answer these questions with honestly, and if you don't want to answer just place it down on your lap okay?" I nodded, he gave me the card and asked the first question.
"Did you choose yourself to be mute?" Yes
"Apart from your mother being in her condition, is there any other family problems?" I hesitated, Yes
"Do you want to talk about it?" No
"Do you and your brother have a close relationship?" Yes
"Do you take responsibility of your brother?" Yes
"Do you and your mother have a close relationship?" Yes i flipped the card around No
"You sometimes do?" Yes
"Do you and your father have a close relationship?" No
"Would you like to tell me about your father?" No
"Does your brother have a close relationship with your father?" No
"Do you have friends at school?" Yes
"How many?" I put four fingers up, he nodded
"Do you have good grades?" Yes
"Are you scared of a family member?" I hesitated again and left the board down
"Do you want to speak?" Yes
"Are you scared to speak?" Yes
"Do you have any other family members apart from your mother and father?" No
He nodded.
"Okay now I want to insure you that all this information is confidential so if you want to tell me anything or speak no one but me and Luke will know, no one knows about this appointment, so your safe, do you understand?" Yes
"Now I want you to talk to me about your friends" I hesitated and Luke spoke,
"Lilly, don't worry know one will know, I promise" I looked at Brody and he nodded with a encouraging smile on his face.
No one knows, no one knows...
"M-missy is my best friend in the while wide world, once she found out I stopped speaking, she made us both learn sign language" once I started I couldn't stop,
"Then there's my new friends, Swayer, Missy's boy friend he's nice, then Blake he's like my big brother, then finally there's Hunter who looks after me, kinda like I'm special, he makes me feel special" they both smiled at me and Brody started asking more questions,
"Do you like speaking?"
"Yeah"
"I want you to start talking to the people you feel comfortable around and tell me your progress next week, that okay?" I hesitantly nodded
"I want you to say it Lilliana!"
"O-okay" he smiled and stood to ruffle my hair,
"See you next week, squirt" Luke walked me back to moms room and we noticed Caiden there talking to mom about school, once he seen me he smiled, Luke nudged me and I shook my head indicated later, he nodded. I kissed mom and took Caiden home, once we got there we stumbled back to the door once we seen dad standing there with a glare on his face, I heard Caiden gulp, I pushed him up the stairs and stood at the bottom so dad couldn't touch him. Dad spoke,
"So bitch been to see your mommy?" I stayed silent
"You know she's going to die right?" I glared
"And it will be all your fault, you made her worried about you, your made her sick with worry, and now she's on her death bed because if you" he punched me in the stomach making me fall back and hit my back on the stairs making me groan in pain, dad kicked me a few times, then pulled me up by my hair, and threw me to the other wall, I started to see stairs but pushed it away when I seen him head up the stairs, I grabbed his food and pulled him back and he glared pushing em down the stairs, luckily I only fell down two, he stormed back down the stairs got his glass bottle and smashed it against my face, I screamed causing him to punch my mouth,
"Shout up you stupid cow!" He stormed out the house while I sobbed, Caiden slowly walked down the stairs with a first aid kit, he placed It near me and started pulling the glass out of the side of my face, he put the stingy liquid on then wiped my face again, he kissed my forehead and went to helped me upstairs, but I pulled away and pointed at the pizza leaflet and made him call and got the money out for him. Once he ate, I couldn't eat because my face hurt to move, we went upstairs I went to my room and he went to his.
