Mute. L-H

Anxiety

Standing in the lift I realised what was wrong with him in the few seconds he saw all those people.

Luke has anxiety. without thinking I grabbed his hand. Luke looked at our hands confused before smiling at me.

We stepped out the elevator hand in hand. we walked over to the little bar or whatever you call it.

"Want anything?" Luke looked at me.

I looked up to the menu scrunching my eyebrows together to see if I wanted anything.

I pointed to what I wanted on the bored.

"Milkshake?" Luke asked I nodded. "chocolate?" He asked again and I nodded smiling.

He got himself a banana milkshake. once we got out drinks we looked around for a seat.

"Luke?" A boys voice spoke. I looked to the curly haired boy standing infront of me. he was smiling showing off the huge dimples in his skin.

"Ashton?" Luke smiled.

"Why are you here?" Ashton asked Luke.

"Same as everyone else I suppose" Luke shrugged.

"And who's this beautiful girl" Ashton looked to me.

"Her names Taissa" Luke answered for me.

"Nice to meet you" ashton nodded at me I nodded back. "why don't you two come and sit with me and a few friends?" He looked at us smiling still.

Luke looked down to me to ask I guess I just smiled.

"Sure" Luke replied slightly nervous.

We followed behind ashton as he lead us to a table, out hands still intwined. we got to a table with two other boys on.

One was tan with brown hair a few highlights in it, he had a few tattoos on his arms, he looked kinda Asian.

The other boy was pale, his messy hair a vibrant blue colour he had sparking green eyes that stood out against his pale skin.

"This is Luke and Taissa" ashton looked at the boys. "That's Michael and that's Calum" he looked to us.

"I'm not Asian" Calum looked at me and Luke, we just gave each other a weird look.

"Hello" Michael smiled.

There was something about there voices, something familia. then it hit me, I wanted to ask but I don't talk.

Me and Luke sat down I was opposite Michael Luke opposite Calum and ashton on the end near Calum and Luke.

I got out my phone and typed into the notes and slid it over to Luke who read it.

"Taissa asked if your all Australian" he looked up from my phone.

"Yeah, actually we moved here a few weeks ago" Michael spoke in his thick accent looking at me.

I looked to Calum.

"I'm not Asian" he said again making me frown. he saw I was frownig and spoke again "sorry, I just get people calling me Asian, I'm not, I'm from New Zealand" he said again.

I nodded my head.

"Calum likes to point out he's not asian to everyone" ashton smiled.

I nodded again before taking a sip of my drink. the boys started talking about Australia and how Ashton and Luke know each other.

They went to the same school for some time and were good friends and then ashton went downhill and now he's here.

Ashton giggles, not laughs but giggles, like a school girl, it's weird, you wouldn't expect that to come out his mouth, it's high pitched and squeaky.

"Why don't you talk?" Michael turned to me interrupting ashton.

"Michael!" Ashton raised his voice at him. I looked to Luke.

"She's mute, she doesn't talk, she uses her phone" he said.

Hi

The voice said

"That's cool" Michael smiled.

I like your hair

I looked up to the green eyed boy.

"Thanks, so are you two a thing?" Michael looked between me and Luke.

"Just friends" Luke smiled at me and I nodded.

"I'm sorry about him, he says wherever he's thinking wether it's appropriate or not" ashton giggled slightly.

Michael rolled his eyes at the remark.

"What rooms are you two staying at?" Calum asked.

"26B, were together" Luke smiled.

"I share with ashton, Michael had his own room, he's dangerous apparently" Calum looked at Michael who just smiled at me.

How

I frowned

"Anger issues, I get angry easily, once I'm angry I can't control it, I have to hit something or someone" his eyes studied my face.

"How come I don't have to be on my own then?" Luke frowned. "I have anger attacks too"

I looked to Luke, he didn't seem like the kind of boy to have anger issues.

"Maybe it's because you haven't nearly killed someone for talking to your now ex girlfriend" Michael spoke taking a bite if a sandwich that I didn't even notice was on the table.

Luke shrugged his shoulders.

I brought my lips to the straw in my milkshake finishing the last of it.

"Do you want to come to our room?" Ashton asked looking at us.

I just looked to Luke.

"Sure" he said turning to me and smiling showing the dimple.
