Chapter 20

~~ Previous ~~

" So, If Brandon got is voice back, will Vikk?" Joe asks

Vikk's Pov:
( ' = Sign Language / " = Talking )

I hear Joe's question and I freeze, I stand up and I walk out the room. I hear footsteps and I turn around expecting Lachlan but it was actually Pete's Mom.

"Vikk.." She states is a soft voice. "You know Joe doesn't understand."

I nod, ' He doesn't understand....And I want to talk but I can't bring myself to....I want to make Joe, and Lachlan happy....But I just can't. My mom hates me and I just don't want to talk to her, she is mean.' I sign and out my left hand on my cheek, and tears fall down my face.

"Come here sweetie." She states and embraces me in a hug. "Now, I think everyone in this house would love to hear you speak. No one remembers how your voice sounded." She states

'I just can't do it, I don't know why. When my mom came to your house, I was going to yell at her. But I couldn't. So I pushed her out of the house.' I sign 

She starts to run her fingers thought my hair, trying to calm me down. Lachlan dose this and I love when people play with my hair. It calms me down and will put me to sleep. 

"Look, Lachlan knows you will talk when you are ready, and everyone else knows this. You just need to explain it to Joe." She states

'What if he hates me.....' I sign

"Joe, would never be able to hate you, ask Matt, or Jackson to translate or explain it to him for you. And we will all be there if he has any questions." She states

I nod my head and she walks me back into the kitchen and I walk over to Lachlan, He opens his arms and I walk into them, he then places me on his lap.

"Vikk, are you okay, did I say something wrong?" Joe asks.

I shake my head no and I look at Jackson because Matt was occupied with Pete.

'Could you translate?' I ask him

He nods.

'Brandon and I have separate problems Joe. Brandon was not a selective mute, unlike me who is. I don't want to talk because I feel like I can't. The only person that listened to me was our father and he died, I stopped talking. And I tried to yell at mom when she came here last time, but I couldn't. I can't bring myself to talk. I am sorry Joe. And then there is the thing where I don't know if I can ever talk.....' I sign.

Jackson translates it to Joe and he looks at me.

"Vikk, I think I understand, but you could have always talked to me." He states

'Joe you were 6 or was it 5 years old, you couldn't help with the bulling and name calling. Were we lived before we moved Gay people were not accepted, So when I told my friends that I were gay they spread it around the School but still pretended to be my friends till my dad died. So There is another thing into why I don't talk.' I sign

Then Jackson translates again.

"Vikk, i understand, but I would love for you to be able to talk again, when ever you are ready." Joe states and hugs me. I smile.

"V...vi...kk, Y...y..ou k..kn..ow t...th..at no...ne of us cou..ould hu...urt yo...u. A...nd w...we w..wi..ll al...wa..y be th..here fo...r y.ou." I hear Pete struggle to say.

I look at him and I nod. 

Lachlan's arms wrap around me and I lean on his chest.

"I know one thing, and that is the same thing that Brandon stated. I could never hurt my Little Star." Lachlan states.
