Taylor's POV

I woke up and do my regular routine, deciding on a blue long sleeved shirt, black skinny jeans, and my blue converse.
I shave then head to my car to get the kids and Kyle. I started driving them again because it got colder. And I want some more time with Kyle.

It's late November now, and Kyle has finally decided to come back to school. I made him promise me be would wear his coat, considering the ground has a decent layer of snow and its freezing.

I honk the horn and one by one they exit the house. Kyle is last and I smile when I see him. He looks utterly adorable in his black fabric outside trench coat looming winter jacket. It has a tie around the waist and everything. He gets in the car and smiles and I peck him on the lips.
"You guys all buckled up?" I ask the kids and they nod. I take Kyle's hand rest it between us.

I park in the elementary school parking lot and we say goodbye to Jessica and Jack.
"You ready?" I ask when we're at the doors. He shakes his head while smiling. He's nervous.
We walk in, hand in hand and get a few stares. I can tell Kyle is uncomfortable because he keeps trying to pull his hand away. Not happening. Everyone must know he is mine.

We meet up with the girls and they greet us before going back to whatever they were talking about. I feel a tug on my sleeve and look down at Kyle. He's pointing down the hall. I follow his finger and see nothing in particular. He wants you to walk around. Oh, I knew that. I nod and we start to do laps around the school.

It's a comfortable silence, but I can't help wanting to hear his voice again.
"Kyle, do you know when your going to speak again?" I ask and he shakes his head.
"Would it be able to um, be soon? I miss your voice." I look at him to see he's looking down. He feels guilty. I've figured out how to read him based on his actions. I tug him to the side and lean down to his level.
"Hey, hey don't get upset. I didn't mean anything by it and I'm not going to pressure you to talk again. I just think you have a beautiful voice." I put my finger under his chin and tilt his head up so he meets my gaze. He is trying to look monotone, but he's upset. I kiss him gently and draw back after a few seconds.
"You take as long as you need." He opens his mouth like he's going to speak, then closes it and looks away. He grabs my hand and I sigh as we keep walking. There's only so much I can talk about without getting a response.

Classes start and the day rolls by. At lunch the girls came to our spot. They seem to like it better then the crowded cafeteria.
After school I drove everyone back to the orphanage. Kyle has agreed to go back to work so he got his stuff and I drove him. Today's just been awkward for us since I pointed out that he's not talking.
"How are you going to deal with customers?" I ask and he shrugs. I sigh and turn towards him.
"Kyle, I support you on all of your decisions. But, your going to have to speak eventually." He looks down and clenches his fists in his lap.
"Don't get mad at me for pointing out the obvious." I say to him and he opens the door to the car.
"Don't just walk away from me I'm talking to you!" I grab his arm. He turns and has such an intense glare I freeze. He pulls his arm free and slams the car door.

Fine. If he wants to be that way let him. I'm just trying to look out for him. I don't feel like going home so I decide to text Anna. We agree to meet up at Starbucks.

Time skip

I walk in and Anna is already sitting there with two coffees.
"What's in this?" I ask her as I sit down.
"I left it black. There's a stand where you can put in what you want. I didn't know what you take in it." She says. Her hair is up in a messy bun and she has on a pink aeropostale sweatshirt and some sweatpants.

I walk over and make my coffee before sitting back down.
"So what's with the sudden meetup? Something on your mind?" She asks, sipping her drink.
"It's Kyle." She flinches a bit.
"I know you don't want to hear about us being together." I add.
"It's not that. I'm still just trying to get over you. Don't worry I support you guys and everything." She says and I smile at her.
"Thanks you Anna." I say to her and she smiles back at me.
"Alright. So whats the problem?" She asks.
