Silent Boy

Chapter6:

Sunlight poors through the window and onto my face. This is the first full day that I'm out of the mental hospital and I feel so relived to be out of there. I lay there in my bed and think about all that has happened in the last few hours and smile when I think about Jackie. I barely even know her and I already feel like I've known her forever. I get up and change into a plaid shirt, blue jeans and Nikes. I walk out of the room and walk into the kitchen with the scent of pancakes filling the air. "Good morning" Alice says noticing my presents. I wave at her and smile. "Jackie is upstairs if your wondering" she tells me smiling "she likes you already as a friend of corse though. She told me that you can draw, can I see?" She asks I nod and start leaving to get my sketch pad but she pulls my arm and hands me a sheet of white paper and a pencil. "Draw a guitar" she tells me. I nod and take a seat. I start to draw and acoustic guitar and put as much detail as I can into it. After I'm done I sign my name at the bottom and hand it to Alice. Her eyes widen when she sees it and says "Connor this is amazing" I smile at her reaction. "What at you guys looking at?" Someone asks from behind us, I turn around and see Jackie looking as beautiful as ever. She was wearing a loose sweater with light blue skinny jeans and converse. "You were right Jackie,Connor is an amazing artist" Alice says to her daughter smiling. "What did he draw?" Jackie asks with excitement flooding her voice. "Come here and I'll show you" Alice says and shows her "this is really amazing Connor I've never seen someone as young as you have such an amazing talent like this before" Jackie says smiling at me. 'Thanks' I mouth to her, she nods her head and puts the drawing down. "Now it's time for you to draw me"
