Chapter 21 The Walk In

The whole lot of us walked into the restaurant.

Gladly, there weren't too many people to stare at us.

I stuck to the end of the group, with Jacob.

As there were 7 of us, we have to move 2 tables together to fit.

When everyone ordered (Jacob did for me) we all sat down, everyone chatting.

The others talked as Mega sat quietly, observing.  

The food came, and the conversation moved onto politics.

I paid close attention to Mega all the time, to make sure he was comfortable.

What happened to him back at his place?

I remembered what he told me.

My father and mother...

Those people...

They ruined him... they destroyed him...

And now I was left to fix what they did.

It was worth it, but what they did was just unacceptable.

I would never leave Mega.

Who would ever abuse a child?

And why?

"We should have all have a walk in the woods nearby!" Zak got bored of politics, so he moved on to making plans.

"Sounds great!" Clay said loudly, excitement lighting up in his eyes.

"But we are watching the fireworks tomorrow..." Bad replied.

"We can go for a walk today?" Sapnap said.

"Yeah, maybe after supper," George replied.

Everyone was happy with the plan.

"Hey Mega, you alright?" Clay asked with confidence.

Mega nodded.

"Alright, it's just that you almost didn't eat, and look kinda sad," Clay said, not understanding for nervous he was making Mega.

'Idk what you're talking about, this is awesome.' Mega signed and Bad translated it.

"Wow, you can sign so fast." Sapnap noticed.

Mega smiled slightly.

When everyone ate, they left the restaurant, slowly walking back.

Everyone talked, and enjoyed the company, including Mega.

It felt nice to just walk along with others and listen to them talking.

I wanted to hold Jacob's hand, but I restrained myself.

We reached my house and parted ways.

Everyone spent their day recording and editing, and closer to the evening Zak and Bad were streaming.

I didn't know, as I sat downstairs on the couch, letting Jacob record in peace.

When I thought Jacob has stopped talking, I assumed that he was finished recording.

I climbed the stairs and quietly entered the room
