Mute ~ Joshler

chapter 1

            "Tyler!" Tyler's mom knocked on the door of Tyler's bedroom "hmm?" He asked rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.  He looked at the clock beside his bed, it was 6:00a.m.

"Time to get up honey, come on," his mom said and Tyler heard her walk down the hall. 

Tyler went into his bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror.  He made a horrified face and rolled his eyes.
 
                     Tyler's POV

         Im so gross I thought to myself looking at my reflection. 
I made a gagging face and giggled at myself. 

I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth.  I don't have much hair...... Should I brush it?  I rolled my eyes.  When you're mute you tend to talk to yourself, a lot. 

I looked at my body and cringed at the cuts on my stomach and started tracing a few of them.  I shrugged my shoulders and walked to my wardrobe. 

I looked into it and picked  black skinny jeans and a skeleton hoodie.  I grabbed my backpack and my red beanie, for, good luck. 

I walked out of my room and walked into the kitchen.  I looked at the microwave clock and saw it was already 6:50a.m. and I would usually go and walk to school around 7:00a.m.

My mom and brother, Zack, were in the kitchen.  "Have you seen Jay yet?" My mother asked me and I shook my head 'no' "he hasn't," Zack said for me. 

I rolled my eyes.  Zack was usually trying to help me but it didn't seem like help, it was more of a reminder of my failure as being a better brother and a better son.

Which is all I really wanted anyway.  Being a better brother, and being a better son. It made me upset thinking of it.  I tried not to. 

"Well, Zack? Will you go check on your brother?" "I'm eating," Zack said getting a bowl out of the cabinet, I, once again, rolled my eyes. 

"Tyler?" I nodded my head 'yes' and went to his bedroom.  I got my phone out of my back pocket and checked the time 7:56a.m. I rolled my eyes in frustration.

I knocked once on his door, silence, I put my ear to the door and he burst out of his room smacking the door against my head. 

I put my hands against the side of my face.  It was pounding and felt like my whole face was going to fall off.  I made mumbling noises and looked at my hand.

It wasn't bleeding but it did hurt a lot "oh my gosh are you okay?" Jay asked and grabbed my shoulders "i'll go get an ice pack," Jay said worriedly.  I nodded my head and sat down on the floor. 

My mom came running down the hall with an ice pack "oh honey!" She said "are you okay?" I nodded my head and made a noise.  She put the ice pack against my head.

I pulled my phone out and checked the time 7:58a.m. I shuddered at the time.  "I'll drive you to school," my mom said. I shook my head 'no' "no?" She asked and I nodded my head 'yes' "oh, okay," she said shrugging "better leave then."

I sighed and got up.  Therewas a knot on my head and I was sweating.  "I am so sorry," Jay said patting my back its fine I thought to myself. 

Of course he couldn't here me so I shook my head and patted his back.  He smiled weakly and finished getting ready for school. 

I got my back pack and started walking to school.  I put my ear buds in and played some music I hummed to the sound.  I loved walking to school because I get time to just be alone with no distractions. 

I turned left, as usual and went straight.  It was a short walk, about ten minutes.  I like to get there early so I can get all my stuff together and read my books. 

I got to school and was greeted by tons of whispers of other kids.  I rolled my eyes and went to my locker.  I had top locker and no one used the bottom one, which made me happy.
