Okay... New chapter already!! Enjoy!!
______________
I'm not saying i like being mute. But i do have my own way of expressing opinions now. And if that doesn't work then i can just write it down. Being the youngest of five, I get looked after well anyways. I wouldn't say i use my mutism for attention, but sometimes it's a rather effective way to get things i want.
I'm currently sat on the sofa between Jared and Maya while Gerard and Shannon sit on the floor in front of us. We're all watching films together for the first time in a while. We've mainly been busy with school things and it's really nice to have all of us together for a while. I instinctively snuggle myself a little closer to Maya but it's barely noticeable. I continue watching the film for a few more minutes before i feel Jared's eyes on me. I turn my head slowly, looking at Jared with a confused expression. "You like her?" Jared whispers quietly, so only i can hear. I nod very slightly, again moving a little closer to Maya. This time she notices and puts a skinny arm around my shoulders. Jared smirks, waiting until Maya returns her attention to the film before whispering again. "Love her?" He asks. I have this thing i do wth my eyes which, to me, means yes. Jared nods. "Tell her." I give him a glare since i physically can't tell her. "/Show/ her." He corrects. I nod and we both return our attention to the film.
Throughout the whole film i am debating the best way i can possibly tell my /best friend/ that i love her. At least i know that her brother's won't hate me if i do miraculously end up dating her. I barely register that the film has ended... And Maya notices it. I'm still curled up under her arm and she squeezes my shoulders softly. "You okay Mikes?" She asks softly. Trying not to wake Shannon and Gerard who are curled up sleeping on the floor. "I'm gonna go to bed, see you guys tomorrow." Jared says, purposely leaving me and his sister here together.
All i know is that i want to get this over with and just tell her. So i turn slightly, blinking up at her a few times. Maya knows this means i want to write something so she grabs me a notebook and a pen. I begin writing what i feel i need to say to her. When I'm done I read it over and gingerly hand the paper to her. I watch as she reads. When she looks up i try to shrink away but she just pulls me closer... And kisses me.
