Mute. L-H

Hospital.

Taissa's POV
It's been two hours and the boys have found me so we're all sitting outside a room that Luke and a few doctors are in.

My throat hurts from all the crying, I haven't stopped its just slowed down. I'm still sitting on the floor while the others sit on the chairs. Calum on Michaels lap.

"Taissa?" Ashton looked down to me. I looked up to him slowly.

"You have a beautiful voice" he smiled.

I frowned and shook my head, my voice is horrible, it isn't nice enough to be heard and it shouldn't.

"Can't you at least try?" He said moving so he was on the floor with me. I shook my head again, I don't talk I don't like it I haven't in ages.

"For Luke?" He asked again, I looked up to him, last time I talked I killed someone and I've done it again, so I shook my head.

The door opened and a doctor walked out. He looked between us and spotted me.

"Is he okay?" Michael asked.

"He's hurt, real bad, but he's awake, he'll have to stay in a few days so we can keep an eye on him but other than that he's fine" the doctor spoke.

He was ok.

"Can we go in?" Calum asked.

"Of corse, I'll give you some time" he smiled before walking away.

I got up and walked into the room seeing Luke, he looked to me and smiled faintly.

I walked over beside him and looked at his face, there were a few cuts over it and a bit of bruising. I gently rub my hand over his cheek.

"You said my name" he looked at me. Tears pricked my eyes and I shook my head.

"I heard you, you said my name" he smiled. "Please say it again?" He asked. I couldn't, It wouldn't come out properly.

I shook my head again, I just get people hurt when I talk. Plus when I talk it's all stutters and one word answers.

Luke looked to the others and smiled at them.

"I'm gonna go call your mom" Ashton said pulling Michael and Calum it with him.

Luke looked back to me when the doors closed.

"Please talk to me" he sighed, "even if it's one word" he said looking lost.

I swallowed I wanted to but I couldn't, I couldn't.

"L-l-" I stopped myself and shook my head crying.

"I don't care if you stutter I don't care what you sound like, you could have a man voice for all I care and I'd still love you, you don't have to say anything else to anyone, I promise" he looked at me taking my hand.

I shook my head, I couldn't, not now anyway, I was crying to much and I couldn't find my voice if I wanted to.

"I'm not going to force you" he said rubbing his thumb over my hand. I nodded. All he fucking wanted was me to say one word and I can't even do that.

The others came in, it was weird not being locked up, like that was my home but now we're all out and it feels strange, what if we all just drift away?

It scared me honestly, I feel like I'm alone again even though I know I have the boys. Luke had to stay in that night so they could make sure he was ok for definite.

I didn't want to go back to my aunts where I knew I was going to be alone. it kinda scared me I didn't want to go back to how I was. I knew I still had to go to therapy. I wondered if Luke had to and whether the others had the same therapist. well Ashton probably wouldn't seen as he lived quite far away.

after a week and 3 days luke was let out and we all went back to mine as it was empty.

"do you live on your own?" calum asked walking in.

no my aunt lives with me but shes never home

my phone read out to him. he just nodded and continued to look around. we sat down in the front room and I turned on the tv putting it onto Netflix.

"do you have wifi?" Michael asked I smiled at him asking so soon and pointed to the small blackbox by the tv he nodded and crouched down in front of it reading the random numbers and typing them into his phone.

I let calum pick a movie as I got up and pulled luke up with me, he frowned but I pulled him along with me to my room. I pulled him in and closed the door behind me. he looked to me and raised an eyebrow.

"wha-" I cut him of by pressing my finger to his lips. he frowned at me again so I took a deep breath to mentally prepare myself.

"hi" I whispered. his face lit up and he smiled at me and I couldn't help but smile back at him.

"you-you talked omg, ca-can you say my name?" he asked rushing out his words and stuttering. he was more nervous than I was, I nodded.

"l-luke" I said a little louder than I said hi. I mentally facepalmed myself for stuttering.

"your voice is so beautiful" he said holding my cheeks stepping closer. I looked into his ocean blue eyes getting butterflies when they flicked to my lips for a second.

he leaned in and pressed his lips to mine firmly. I melted into the kiss as normal but this one felt special. most probably because what I was going to do next was going to be a big step for me. he pulled away and looked at me.

sometimes I hated it when he stared it made me feel insecure. but right now I didn't care as I stared back at him. I just stood there for what seemed like forever taking in every detail of his face. I noticed the little darker shade of blue specks in his eyes.

"I-I love you" I stuttered out looking at him. his whole face lit up once again making me turn a crimson colour on my cheeks.

"i love you too, so fucking much" he smiled before kissing me again.
