Babysitting a little demon

Kylie POV

             I was a bit shocked when Leo asked me why I didn't talk until I was about 10.  To be truthful It had been drilled into my head from the time I was about 3 that talking was bad.  That I should be seen not heard and even then that I just shouldn't exist.  It wasn't my parents though it was the bullies at my preschool at daycare there were older kids and they drilled it into my head that the world hated me and that I shouldn't be in it.  And so not understanding death yet I made myself as invisible as possible.  I went quiet, I stayed at the back of lines and only spoke when asked a question.  My parents worried that something was wrong so they took me to several doctors not knowing what was making me go so quiet but they all told them that nothing was wrong with me and that I would talk when I was ready to say something.  It wasn't just the kids at daycare either it was my brother to.  After I left daycare my brother was about 2 but it had been ingrained in my brain by the kids at day care that all through kindergarten I was silent or nearly so  I went into kindergarten with one of those same bullies and it was engrained into my head that my voice was awful and that I shouldn't disgrace the world with it.  I went on to first grade where I met Leo with instead of it being the bullies it was my own brother.  When I turned six I talked to my soulmate for hours by writing on my hands and arms and then wiping it off  again before anyone saw it.  At that point in time I was almost completely silent.  I asked to work alone so I wouldn't have to talk I gave short answers but still answered every question.  Eventually even my teacher got worried because I was 6 1/2 and still didn't talk more than I strictly had to.  During presentations I just put all of the information on a slide show and only told what I had to.  It went on like this for another 3 years.  My parents didn't know it was my brother because he threatened me and then made some of the threats become real.  It was due to Leo that I started talking again and I felt like I owed him and answer but what to tell him.                            "Leo to answer your question.  Do you want to know the entire truth or just some of it?  But if it is the entire truth you need to promise me that you won't tell anyone."  I said trying to make it not sound suspicious.                                                                                                                                                        "From what you say you barely said a word for 5 years.  I want to know why.  The complete reason if you can tell me."  He said.  And so I told him every thing from the death threats and the threats of hurting my mom to the stupid preschool bullies.

                    Soulmates EDU was my last class of the day and since I only live about 3 blocks from the school I walk home so I don't have to sit in a car for an hour waiting for mom to be done running errands  and taking Brandon (My brother) to his doctor's appointments.  Brandon had doctors appointments almost every day.  Most were therapy (speech, vision, behavioral, and play therapy ) and others were who knows what.   Once I reached my semi small green and white house I took out my supernova house key and let myself in.  I wet to the kitchen to wash my hands and find a snack.  This is my usual after school routine 1) wash hands 2)find a snack 3)figure out where my book ended up 4)eat snack while reading book 5) find phone and headset (usually in pocket or in bag) 6) choose playlist and turn it on 7) do homework or chores 8) If completely finished with both homework and chores sit and read or watch tv or just write to my soulmate.  I usually get to step 8 but not today.  You see my sculpture teacher gave us a new project and that is to make a mental museum with all of our craziest ideas.  I went and found my box and paints and got to work.  I first made a dark gray for the outside and painted the outside of my box and waited for it to dry.  While I was waiting for it to dry I went and found my ukulele and my favorite songs had just started playing for about 10 minutes after the 10 minutes was up I went to check on my project.  It was dry.  So I went on to making the bright sky blue for the bottom layer of my museum.  I was going to make my garden of chaos with the chaos chameleon.  I then went on to making the bright green for the next layer and the wintery blue/gray  for the next and a lighter gray for the top layer.  while I waited for the paint to dry again I  went to get my ukulele again.  One of my band directors was also the fifth grade music teacher up at Goode elementary and he wanted me to teach with him in a few weeks as sort of a student teacher kind of thing and so I was working on learning their concert song when my phone rang scaring the living daylights out of me because Leo is the only one who ever calls and he always texts first.  I picked up the phone off the table where I had left it and saw that it was only my mom.  I picked up and after a few minutes of conversation I hung up she and Brandon were coming home long enough for her to drop Brandon off  for me to babysit while she went out with her friends.  It was fine besides to the best of my knowledge she hadn't gotten to got out with her friends in months.  So I was putting away my project knowing that I probably wouldn't be able to work on it for the rest of the evening.  School ends at 3 and mom and Brandon don't usually get home until at least 4:30 sometimes as late as six when Brandon has ninja warrior.  

               when mom and B got home Mom came in for about 5 minutes to get changed and leave a list of jobs for B after she saw that all of mine had been done.  And just like that she was gone again only this time leaving me with the little demon of a brother that I had.
