•ALEXITHYMIA• [SLOW UPDATES]

Chapter 5

I can't hear you.

The guy stopped talking and shut up real quick. He took my notebook and pen and started scribbling something, and I took the time to notice that there were two other people here with him.

The notebook was shoved towards me and I grabbed it before reading what he wrote.

Who are you?

I replied, My name is Abella. Who are you?

He read it and a look of realization flashed across his face before he grabbed the pen writing something down ferociously fast. I can already imagine his hand writing looking like shit.

He finished before shoving the book towards me. I quickly read what he wrote. You're deaf?

I looked up at him and nodded. Him and the two other guys looked towards each other, not speaking. They were probably told about me, but I'm pretty sure no one told them that I was deaf. They all seemed to snap out of it as the guy who asked me who I was suddenly left as his expression hardened. The other two followed suit and I was left alone. They must've been Sebastian's brothers. I shrugged and turned back to my phone.

I went back to my room. I felt like the day was going by so slow and I was trying so hard not to fall asleep. I can't sleep. Not even for 5 minutes. It's not 12 yet.

I sighed, and threw myself backwards onto the bed, hugging Water close to me. I want Ambrose. I wish he were here to keep me company. I am completely and utterly bored and I can't sleep. I huffed as I stared at the ceiling. Fucking hell. Of course I just had to end up here. Why is it that the most unfortunate things always happen to me. I felt myself dosing off and quickly opened my eyes again. Fuck. I sat up abruptly. I'm literally gonna kill myself. I want Ambrose, I just got here and I can't stand being in a house with a bunch of strangers. They're all fucking men too.

I know I'm supposed to be calm and stay strong but I couldn't help but panic. I don't want to be here. I am hours away from Ambrose and and all alone in a house with a bunch of strangers I've never met before today. I felt my breathing pick up and I felt the blanket beneath me. I don't want it to touch me. I need to be off the blanket. I don't want to feel it against my legs.

I scooched off the bed and sat on the floor hugging my knees to my chest and stuffing my face into Water. He smelled like Ambrose. I breathed for a little bit and calmed my breathing. I just have to wait a little longer to see Ambrose again. I can wait another day or two.

I sat on the floor for like an hour, doing nothing, before I finally got up because my butt started to hurt. Instead of letting myself fall asleep, I chose to lay down and read Wattpad on my phone.

Reading kept me busy for a while, along with texting Ambrose a few times, and a couple hours passed when the sky turned dark and the time read 6:54pm. My door opened slowly and Adonis poked his head in. I sat up from my laying position and waited patiently for him to tell me what he came here for.

Hi Abella, dinner's ready. We're all eating together, come. I nodded, stood up, and followed him out. I followed him down the many twists and turns and down the long staircase before we soon made it to the dining room. There, I was met with the sight of Sebastian and like 6 other guys that I don't know the name of.

Adonis motioned for my to sit, and I just so happened to be sat next to Sebastian, who sat at the head of the table. I sat down and watched as the other guys spoke to each other, their mouths moving and no sound coming out. Man I wish I had my hearing aids. But I have to wait. At least a couple days so that once they're comfortable and sure that I can't hear them, I can catch them talking shit. Still, I wish I could hear them.
