The Jerks Tried To Tame Me

Avery's POV

I woke up this morning feeling much more refreshed. I looked next to me to see Brandon cuddled up to my side.

Last night he didn't really speak again so we played with some of his toy cars that he brought to my room then we watched a movie. He fell asleep so I let him stay and I crashed next to him.

Honestly I feel so protective of this little boy even though I met him just last night. He just, saw me in a different light and didn't run away as soon as he met me.

I noticed Brandon had woke up and was just staring at me silently, waiting for me to do something. I gave him a kiss on the forehead and mumbled a 'morning'. He smiled back and even mumbled a 'morning' back to me.

Unlike his family I didn't gasp or start crying when he spoke, I simple just smiled at him. That's all you need to do.

I checked the time to see it was 11am so I got up and went to the bathroom to pee and brush my teeth. Once I finished I walked out and combed my hair and stayed in my pjs which were cute shorts and a tank top. Luckily Brandon was potty trained so he went to the toilet and used a spare toothbrush that was in the en suite. 

When he came out I held his hand and we made our way to the kitchen to have breakfast.

I walked into the room laughing at Brandon's theory of how babies are made.

"Maybe mommy and daddy went on a trip and every time they kiss mommy's tummy gets bigger until a baby pops out" he said with his cute hopeful expression and voice. I burst out laughing and picked him up, swinging him around while he squealed.

"Sure, kiddo" I said rubbing my nose with his.

We both laughed but I stopped when I realised the whole family was sat at the kitchen table, gawking at us. I instantly replaced my happy expression with a cold one and Brandon looked at me confused.

"Good morning everyone" I said and sat down at the table with Brandon on my lap.

"Morning sweetheart. How was your night Avery?" Stacey asked.

"Great thanks. Brandon kept me company" I said and gave Brandon a smile. He smiled back and snuggled into my chest.

"Oh really. How was your night Brandon?" She asked him sweetly.

He looked at her but didn't reply. His mother looked disappointed but smiled anyway. I looked towards the boys to see what their expressions were and they all looked sad aswell.

"Why doesn't he talk to you guys? I mean you are his brothers, shouldn't you have that brotherly connection?" I asked the boys.

"Don't you think we've tried? He just doesn't talk. End of story." Jacob stated.

I rolled my eyes "well your obviously wrong because he talked right infront of you"

"That was just a one time thing. It won't happen again" Cameron said with a wave of his hand like he was dismissing the subject.

Brandon looked like he was about to cry and I felt really protective of him so I wrapped my arms around him securely.

"How dare you say that about him when he's right here?!" I shouted angrily.

"He probably can't even hear us I mean he never replies when we talk to him so who's to say he understands us?" Ryan said rudely.

How dare they?! I felt Brandon whimper and I saw him drop a few tears. The family noticed he was crying and instantly looked guilty while I was basically fuming.
