(Jayce's P.O.V)

I skated away on my skatedboard after being encountered by the boy who saved me the other day. I turned around to see him getting up and brush himself off. He took one last glance at me which had me turning my head back the opposite way. I skated down the sidewalk towards my house.

You could hear my neighbors. All of them. Every single one. Laughing, talking, yelling. Using their voice. This had me pissed. You see I was born mute. Meaning I could not talk...at all. Zip. Zilch. Nada.

The mere sound of someone else talking sets me off because ill never be able to have the one thing everyone else has and enjoys, a voice.  Not noticing the tiny ass pebble that was in my way I flipped off my skateboard landing on my butt for the second time in a row today.

I cursed though nothing came out. As usual. I got up rubbing my butt and decided to just grab my board and walk the rest of the way.

My mind came back to the boy. How come he helped me today and the other day? No ones ever helped me before. They've always just left me alone or bullied me becuase I was different. Maybe he was the same. Maybe he's just tricking me. I've seen this happen before, the poor boy befreinds a person who "pretends" to be nice to them then ends up getting bullied at the end. No way was I letting him get close to me. Never.

I walked up the path to my house and opened the door the nice smell of cookies embracing me. I walked to the kitchen to find my mom dancing around and humming with the pan of cookies in her hand. She almost looked like Snow White. I smiled at the thought and walked through the doorway more making my prescence known. She finally noticed me and placed the cookies on the counter.

"Hi honey how was your day?" She asked. I smiled and signed to her:

"It was good, but I bet your cookies will make it twice as better!"

She smiled. " Aw honey you're so sweet. Here," She said handing me the plate. "Their still warm and gooey just how you like them!" She said. I smiled mouthing a thank you to her before walking to the living room.

I placed the cookies on the table and sat down on the couch scrolling through Netflix. I decided on Spongebob. Mom came by and placed a glass of milk in front of me and sat down. I smiled at her before eating the cookies and sipping milk.

"So Jay have any plans this week?" She asked grabbing a cookie munching on it. I looked over at her and shook my head. She sighed, " Honey, you know at some point, you've gotta make at least one friend." I looked over at her sadly.

"I can't. Everybody at school hates me because I'm different." I signed to her. She nodded in understanding.

" I understand honey." she said rubbing my knee. I smiled sadly before looking back at the TV. She left to go to her room a couple minutes later.

I pulled my knees to my chest and rested my chin on them. If only mom could understand what it's like. To have no friends to rely on, no one to keep you company. Just being....alone. A tear escaped my eye which I wiped away. Soon more tears came running down my face. I buried my face in my knees sobbing harder.

Why was it so hard to make friends. Im just like everyone else except I cant talk. Why can't anyone understand how lonely I feel. How...scared I am. Im scared to be alone again. After dad died mom hadn't talked to me for a while making me feel alone.

"Why...."

I jumped as I heard the doorbell ring. I went over and opened the door to see a box. That certain box was moving. I wiped the tears from my face and went over nudging it with my foot. There was a growl from inside. I used my foot again and opened the box. Inside was a small beige puppy with dark brown spots. His ears were dark brown and so were one of his eyes.

"Jay who is th-" my mom said before noticing the situation in front of me. "Oh! Uhm...whose dog is this Jayce?" she asked. I shrugged.

"Someone just left him hear..."

"I see..." she said.

I picked it up and immediately it started to nibble my hand. It was only the size of my hand so it was adorable.

"Can we keep him?"

My mom bit her bottom lip. " I don't know Jay..." she said.

I have her the puppy eyes and she gave in.

 "Fine, but you have to take care of him okay?" she said. I nodded and looked back at he dog. He looked me in the eyes and licked my nose. I giggled and hugged him to myself.

I heard a shutter noise and turned to see my mom taking a picture with her phone.

"So precious..."she said.

I rolled my eyes and brought the dog in. I sat down on the couch and held him up to my face. What do I name you?

"What are you gonna name him?" mom asked reading my mind.

I shrugged. What do I name you? I asked myself. He barked wagging his tail. Wait is it a he? I looked underneath him. Ahh yup its a he. The puppy yawned and in return I yawned as well.

"Its getting late Jay. Why don't you go to bed now. Ill take care of the puppy." she said going to take him.  I pulled him closer too me shaking my head. She looked taken a back but soon chuckled.

"Fine you can sleep with him, but you get your rest okay?" she asked I nodded and she kissed my forehead.

"Good. Im off to bed. Goodnight honey." she said walking off to her room.

I carefully brought the dog upstairs and laid him on my bed. He got up and started barking. I pet him and gave him the hand signal telling him to wait. He sat down and turned his head to the side. I shook my head and walked to the bathroom to get ready for bed.

When I got back the dog was gone. I looked around for him panicking. Where could that little ball of fur go? I thought to myself. I turn around to look in my closet when one of my t-shirts started moving across the floor. I chuckled and picked up the shirt. The dog barked and ran to me. I threw the shirt in the hamper and picked him up.

I turned off my light and went to bed laying the puppy on the pillow next to me. He walked in a couple circles before laying down. I smiled and pet him one last time before I layed my head down.

"Well its just you and me...whatever your name is.."

I closed my eyes and soon fell asleep.
