Silence

Chapter 5

       1 Week Later

    Finally, it's Saturday. No school for two days.
     I have decided to go to Emmett's today, so I hop out of bed (for the first time today, even though it's noon.) I go and take a nice hot shower, but it was kinda odd since I couldn't quite hear the water again the floor. As I return to my room, I dry my hair. Then go to my closet, pick out some black jeans and a white tee. Then, I pull on my favorite combat boots, put my hair in a simple messy bun, and decide to tie a red plaid shirt around my waist. Plus,  putting on a small amount of mascara, and add some lipgloss. I hate makeup but I just felt like giving it a try today.
      On my way out the door, I grab a small bag of doritos, my phone, and my penny board. On my way to Emmett's house, I munch on the chips and check Instagram.
       When I get to Emmett's, we decide to go to the skatepark, so he gets his board and we head that way. The skatepark is only about a minute from Emmett's house, so we arrive in no time.
       When we get there, Emmett tugs my arm and leads me to a far part of the park where nobody is.
       "Max, I have to tell you something." He signs, with an unhappy look on his face.
      "What?" I sign.
      "My parents are sending me to my birth parents in Texas."
       "Wait, birth parents?!"
        "Yeah, I'm adopted."
     I then fell silent. He gave me a hug but I didn't return it, I just stood there in shock, shaking.
    "It's okay, I'm not going until February, its only September." He signs.
    "No, I'm coming with you. I- I could move there, we could live there. Together." I smile, but a frown still glued on Emmett's mouth.
    He shakes his head. "That won't work." He signs.
     "You're not just going to leave me!" I sign.
    He doesn't respond, just stares into my hazel colored eyes.
       "You are... You are going to leave me." I sign.
       "I have to, you can't just follow me." Emmett signs.
      "Maybe if your parents say, you can come after Freshman year." He suggests.
       "Yes! Yes! That's a great idea!" I sign with enthusiasm, then hug him. He accepts the hug, and while my head is burried into his shoulder, I whisper "I love you." Although he can't hear me.
    I pull away. "Are you sure? I mean it would be a lot of w-" I sign, but he cuts me off my holding my hands.
    "Don't worry, I will always come find you."
