Silent Scream

6.

Ashton's Pov:

I heard my alarm go off. I sat up grabbing my phone to silence the annoying sound. '4:30. Great. 30 minutes before I'm supposed to be at his house. Wait where does he live?' I thought. I opened our messages from earlier.

A- where do you live again?

N- 256 Willon Ave.

A- thanks.

I locked my phone, setting it down on my dresser. I then proceeded to make myself presentable again. I threw on a Seth Rollins shirt, which was rather big on me. Some black leggings and my Dean unstable Ambrose jacket.

I then brushed out my long, blonde hair, slipped on my black converse and grabbed a small purse. I walked to my brothers room and knocked on his door. "Come in!" He yelled.

I walked in to see him laying on his stomach on his bed like a teenage girl waiting for a text. 'What's going on?' I signed to him.

"I may have gotten Noah's number.." he smiled and slowly sat cross-legged on his bed. I jumped down next to him.

'Oh my god!! That's amazing!!!' I signed, smiling like crazy.

"He may or may not be coming over when you leave or maybe a little before. I don't know. He said around 4:40. You going to Nate's?" He asked.

I nodded my head yes. 'I'm supposed to be there at five. What time is it now?' I signed.

"It's.. 4:40!! Oooo!! Noah should be here-" he was cut off my the sound of knocking. "That's probably him!!" Dylan ran down the stairs, his face twisted in pain but not letting it stop him. I laughed at him then ran down after him.

He opened the door and was greeted by a guy taller then both of us. He had short brown hair and brown eyes. Just by looking at him you couldn't tell he wasn't necessarily straight. "Hey Noah!!" Dylan and Noah hugged which caused a small wimpier from Dylan.

"Hey Dylan. This must be Ashton. Hey Ashton!!" Noah said.

I waved hello. "She doesn't talk Noah. Do you know sign language?" Dylan asked.

"No sorry.." Noah looked down at the floor.

'It's okay. Dylan and translate for me.' I signed.

"She said 'it's okay Dylan and translate for me.' So yeah, Noah, if she signs I'll translate!" Dylan said over enthusiastically.

"Great!!" Noah agreed.

'Dylan? I've gotta get going. I don't wanna be late.' I signed.

"Okay Ash!! Got everything? Your phone?" Dylan asked.

I nodded my head yes. 'I'm just gonna walk. He lives on Willon Ave. Not far at all.' I signed.

"Okay Ash. Please text me when your leaving. I'll text you if dad comes home and stay safe!" Dylan pulled me into a hug. Then Noah decided to hug me too.

After the hugs were done I started my walk over to Nate's house. I honestly was very excited, but also super nervous.

I walked towards his house. Occasionally seeing a dog barking or a car driving by. I stopped when I got to his street.

When I finally found his house I stepped up to the front door and knocked.  Nate answered the door. He wore his usual. A black shirt with black skinny jeans. Not gonna lie, he looked hot.

"Here come on in." He said. I stepped inside his house. It was really nice. Not big, but nice.

"You look-uh-nice A-Ashton." He said. Stuttering over almost every word.

'Thank you. You look nice too.' I signed smiling.

"Soooo what do ya want to do?" He asked.

'I don't care it's your house. You choose.' I signed.

"Do you like video games?"

I nodded.

"I have an Xbox. Wanna play?"

'Sure!' I enthusiastically signed.

"Uuuummmm.. I have the new Resident Evil 7 game that I haven't played yet.. we could switch back and forth?"

'Yes!! I would love that!! I've played the entire series!' I signed.

"Great. Let me set it up. And I'm so turning off the lights!!.. that is if that's okay with you.. although my mom would kill me if I didn't leave my door open.." he awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck and looked down. Good thing too because I blushed a bit and I wouldn't have been happy if he'd seen it.

'You can shut the lights off. It makes it creepier!! I absolutely love scary things despite being a scary cat..' I signed. 'Why am I telling him all this? I hardly know him and it's like I'm talking to an old friend..' I thought.

"Okay ready?" He asked. I nodded. He sat down next to me on his bed his in his room. It surprisingly wasn't awkward and we didn't do half bad. The boss fights weren't the best, but we just laughed it off and had fun.

We made it to the second boss fight before we decided to call it quits. It was 6:30 so I was leaving in about half an hour. "So Ashton.. when did you learn sign language?" Nate asked trying to start a conversation.

'My mom was mute so I learned when I started kindergarten. My brother did too.' I signed.

"What about your dad?"

I didn't respond. I couldn't respond.

"Sorry. I can see that's not a good subject to talk about.." he looked down.

'No it's okay Nate. My dads just.. not the best person. I guess you could say.' I signed.

"I won't make you talk if you don't want to Ashton. I just want you to be happy. Honestly."

'It's almost seven. I should probably get home..' I signed while standing up.

"Here let me walk you out." He got up and led me back down the stairs and back to his front door. "I had a good time Ashton."

'Me too!' I smiled while signing this.

"Thanks for coming over. I mean you didn't even know me."

'I've been through worse than what could have happened I would guess.' I signed.

"Well bye Ashton. I'll see you at school tomorrow!" He pulled me into a hug which made me flinch. Ever since I saw the other side of my dad I'm scared of guys, other than my brother, hugging me.

Even though I was scared while he hugged me, I still returned the hug and acted normal. When I pulled away he did something that's never happened before. He kissed me.
