You're The Reason That I Speak.

Seeing My Weaker Side?

(Back to Scott)

I sat on my bed and plugged in my music again I closed my eyes and let the music take over me, as the song changed I started to hum along to the tune. I stopped humming when I felt someone sit on my bed my eyes shot open found Kirstie sat on the edge of my bed I smiled at her and then took out my headphones.

"You didn't answer when I knocked so I decided to just come in was that okay?" I just nodded in reply that's all I seem to do now is just nod

"You not looking forward to sharing are you" I went over to my desk to get my note pad to make things a little easier for the both of us, I started to write

'Not one little bit he seems very, how do I put this nicely, very arrogant' Kirstie laughed once I gave her the notepad

"Scott, you never know he could be a really nice person it could all just be a front, he's the new kid he could be trying to fit in"

'I doubt that it's all a front, he doesn't seem like the type of person that you could talk about each other with and not end up with him talking about himself, and plus he put a boy in a hospital bed' I liked talking well writing to Kirstie, it made a difference from me just thinking about everything all of the time

"You will have to see, what he did in his last home could have been a mistake he may not have even done anything wrong, you will have to get to know him maybe? You two could become besties!!" I looked at her with a disapproving look at the comment she had just made and laughed slightly as she did the same

"But in all seriousness just give him a chance okay? And remember if you ever want to talk or anything come and see me bring your notepad and we will talk if I am asleep write down if anything has happened and put it under my door I will come and see you once I have seen the note okay?"

I wrote a quick reply to her once she had finished speaking

'Thank you I will remember that, I don't want to be a pain so I will try not to bother you that much but I'm glad you don't make fun of me for not talking' I passed it back to her and looked down to my hands that were resting on my lap

"That's no problem Scott you could never be a pain I know you will probably find it hard to speak to people so I'm glad you can talk to me" she placed her hand on my knee and sent me a small smile

"I am going to go now Mitch is coming up in a minute okay so just prepare yourself okay" she laughed slightly and I nodded my head and she walked out of the room I was dreading having to share my room with this boy.

I put my headphones back in and laid down on my bed with my back facing the door and shut my eyes again. About ten minutes had passed when heard my door open and then talking I didn't open my eyes but I turned my music down to listen.

"Right Mitch this will be your room for a little while okay I'm sorry you have to share."

"That's alright Mrs H what his name again?"

"That's Scott, he is an extremely  kind kid and nice to, too nice for his own good sometimes you just have to be careful with what you say though, don't mock him or push him over the edge in anyway he has had a rough time growing up, things no child let alone an adult should have ever seen also make sure you don't tease him in any way he may be the quiet one but there is a lot more to him than you would think okay"

"Okay I will keep that in mind" he said laughing slightly

"Let me just get him up so he can help with getting your bed and everything"

I quickly pressed the volume button on my phone that was in my hand so I could turn my music up before she come over to me I felt her shake my shoulder and I rolled on to my back and opened my eyes then sat up pulling my headphones out.
