Sold To The Dirty

~Chapter 2~

I have a family, a real family? But how do I know to trust them? They are the ones that sold me, at least she is. How do I know I can trust anyone here?

They had me back in the bed, with the tubes and the thin blanket. It was pretty comfortable, except that everytime I would move a little bit the needles and tubes in my arms would stab me a little.

My brother was in here, but the other guy had to leave. I'm not quite sure why.

There was a akward tension between my brother and I. I didn't know what to talk about, I don't think I'm even ready to start talking in the first place. I haven't talked in years, he would never let me.

"Are you okay?.." my brother said.

I grabbed my throat, trying to show him that I couldn't talk.

"You don't want to talk or can't?"

I nodded my head telling him 'yes'

"Do you want me to get you a paper so we can 'talk'?" He asked as he got up.

I nodded again, people talking to me so much kinda makes me want to start talking again....

He left for a few minutes and then came back with a pen and paper pad. I wonder how good my handwriting is, I haven't written in about 5 years, he let me at the beginning but not later on when it started to get worse.

"Let's start out with some simple questions, how are you?"

I wrote 'fine' on the paper pad, luckily my hand writing was some what decent. I passed the pad over to him and he read it. 

"That's good, are you hungry?"

Writing 'no' on the pad and handing it back to him.

"Are you sure, I can get you something really quick?"

I just shrugged my shoulders.

'I'm good' I wrote on the pad and showed it to him.

"Okay, I haven't told Mom and Dad that your back yet, I wasn't sure if you wanted to see them yet." He says a little above a whisper.

Were mom and dad back together? I remember what happened, and I thought they would stay apart...

"Do you want me to tell them? They've been looking for you since what happened...." He said.

'I thought that they weren't together anymore? After what dad did?...'

"They worked it out, it took a few years for them to forgive each other for what they did and there is still some tension and work to be done but they are working on it."

'Oh, I'm scared to see them. It's my fault.'

"No, it isn't, but if your not ready to see them then we can wait a week or two till you feel better and see how you feel then?"

I nodded, I didn't really know what to talk about now...

"Do you need anything?" He asked.

I shook my head 'no', I just want to be alone.

"Okay, I'll let you rest for a bit." He said as he walked out of the room and gently shut the door.

This is a lot, I actually have a family. Do Mom and Dad miss me like he said they did? Have they been looking for me? It's so hard to believe that they might actually care about me. After what mom did...

I drifted off to sleep thinking about what my life could have been like if mom didn't do what she did.

Sorry for the short chapter!
In the process of a major edit session to improve the quality of this book, I think it needed it considering that I wrote the 1st chapter at the end of 8th grade.... Such a long two years ago....
Anyway! Hope you have enjoyed the revised book so far, as always comments are appreciated!
