__________________________________________________________________

laying in the hospital bed with Matt while he sleeps i pull my IPod out of my pocket and open up the Wattpad app. i look through my library and decide to start continue reading 'Never Be The Same Again' by Lilly-Rain

Running in nine inch heels is not cool. I almost broke my ankle on the way to the stage. Baden would have been happy about that.

~~

“I need a shower badly.” I groaned to Amberly and she just walked in. I was covered in sweat and glitter and felt disgusting.

“Me too.” She smiled as she sat down next to me.

Staring at my reflection I’m surprised my makeup is till on my face.

I look up as someone enters the room. It’s just Bob and Jarle.

"Hey Beck." says Jarle

"Hey. How you been haven’t seen you in a few days." i say

"Good, been busy with school and stuff." he says "You know how it is."

"Mhmm." i say "So how is school?"

"It’s really good. there is this girl in my maths class, she thinks she's so much better than everyone else just because she is captain of the girls soccer team, it’s really funny, and today she got told off by a nerdy girl she was picking on and she looked like she was going to cry." he says trying hard not to laugh at the memory

"That’s too funny, so you gotta girlfriend?" i ask

"Yeah, the nerdy girl who told her off." he says happily

"She sounds like a younger me . . . only i would have hit the girl instead of telling her off." i say

"Speaking of, she has a younger sister who doesn’t talk . . . one day she would shut up and the next she won’t talk at all . . . been like that for about a year now, she's only 5 though and doesn’t really have a reason for it . . . i was wondering if you could meet her and maybe tell her there is nothing to fear about talking, and that it’s a good thing. . ?" he asks

"Of course. When will this be?" i ask

"Well they are out in the waiting room, if you dont mind. . ." he trails off

I look over to see Matt still sleeping. I carefully maneuver myself off the bed without waking him up. "Let’s go." i say and Jarle and i walk out of the room Bob behind us saying something along the lines of ill be downstairs if you need me.'

"Becky this is Jessica and her younger sister Rebecca." says Jarle

"Hello. It’s nice to meet you both." i say

"Hello, nice meeting you too." says Jessica

Rebecca nods and waves at me with a smile on her face. She is so cute! They look so much alike, it’s almost scary.

"So, Rebecca Jarle tells me you dont speak?" i ask her

She nods her head in agreement.

"I used to be just like you, i didn’t talk from the time i was three until just a few months ago. At first i was scared to talk, but once i finally did it just felt so natural. You really shouldn’t give it up." i say to her

She shakes her head rapidly as to say 'no'.

"Here why dont i get you a pad of paper and we can have our own conversation, i promise you right now that i won’t tell anyone about It." i say to her

She nods her head to say yes and i walk back into the room and grab my sketch book and two pencils. Before returning to the waiting room. I take a seat on one of the chairs and Rebecca follows me over and sits down next to me. I start to write on the pad of paper.

So, why dont you want to talk?

I pass it over to her along with one of the pencils and she reads it before quickly scribbling something down and passing it back to me.

Im not aloud, or bad things will happen . . . at least that’s what he says.

He who? You can tell me anything, im good with secrets.

I pass her the pad. She reads and writes before passing it over to me once again.

the guy who sneaks into my room. . .he hurts me and tells me that the world would be a better place if i wasn’t here. There are marks all over my arms and legs. And all over my head, hidden in my hair. He told me if i ever spoke again really bad things will happen and i dont want to get hurt more than i already do.

He can’t do that to you! That’s just not right . . . do you know his name?

No, he calls himself the man.

Well, if you ever need to talk. Im always here for you okay?

Okay. Thank you.

I smile at her before crumpling up the paper and putting it my pocket. We get up and walk back over to where Jarle and Jessica are chatting about what sounds like school.

"Okay, well we have to go." says Jarle

"Okay. See you another time maybe?" i say to Jessica and Rebecca

"Most defiantly." Jessica says for the both of them.

They walk down the hallway to the elevator and press the button i walk into the room and make my way back over to the bed and slip in before deciding to have a quick nap.

*********A FEW HOURS LATER*********

I wake up yawning.

"Finally you’re awake." Matt says "It’s almost dinner time. What did you do stay up all last night to read?"

"No, i was awake earlier but i had a nap." i say

"Oh, well as long as you weren’t up all night. You dont need to worry so much i will be fine." he says

"I know, i just dont know what i would do though if something happened to you. . ." i say

"Hey, im fine . . . im healing pretty good. We will be out of here in a matter of time.
