Faith's Pov:

Walking into St. Mary I was just looking for a volunteering opprotunity, something to get my mind off the problems i already had going on at home. I went up to the front desk. "Hi, im Faith, im here for the volunteering?" The clerk looked over her thick rimmed glasses at me. Her eyes gazed at me sleepily. "Oh, so you're the volunteer, huh? You've got a tough one on your hands" She said rising from her seat. She grabbed a clipboard and walked off down the hallway, motioning for me to follow her. We manuvered down the long narrow hallways of the clinic until ahe stopped abruptly by the second to last door before saying. "His name's Jacob... Dont really talk much, he's not one for conversation. You're really just here to watch hom.,, make sure he eats and doesn't hurt himself". She handed me the clipboard, "Good luck kid" and with that she patted my shoulder and went back towards the front desk. I stared at his door for a moment... So im working with a mute kid? This job should be easy. Turning the konb, I entered the room to see a boy about my age. Sitting in his bed, legs folded, staring t an old re-run of Full House on the small clinic tv. He had a low cut fro that seemed matted, and light tan skin. As I slowly shut the door it creaked and his glazy eyes landed upon me. "Hi my name's Faith, an im your new nurse". He squinted at me before swallowing deeply. After only a few seconds he shot from his bed and darted to the bathroom. I stood there shocked when I heard the violent sounds of uncontrollable up-chuck hit the toilet water......... What's really up with this kid?
