Being Mute

Chapter 16❤️

I sat on my old bed in my old bedroom. I was currently going through some old photo albums of when I was a kid. It felt almost refreshing to see these photos, they reminded me of the days when I was actually happy.

I missed my dad and mom. I remembered everyday Sunday, my mom and dad would get up early to make breakfast, they'd put on their "old music" as I called it. They'd sing along to the songs that I still didn't know of, and they'd dance around the kitchen. I remember how I thought it was so lame and embarrassing. Now I'd do anything to have those Sunday's back.

"Hey." I look up at Miles who had walked in. "What are you looking at?" He asks, arching his eyebrow.

"Family photo albums." I write across the notepad in front of me.

"Oh." He narrows his eyes, looking down at one of the photos. "Is that you? In that pink ballerina skirt?" He asks, pointing to a photo of me when I was around 10.

My eyes go wide and I slam the photo album shut.

Miles started chuckling at me. Which was actually very weird. I don't think I've ever heard him laugh before.

"You were cute as a kid.." He said, shaking his head. "What happened?" He says sarcastically. My eyes go wide and I take a random pillow off the bed and hit him with it.

"I'm playing Jane." He says, shaking his head.

"You're beautiful." My smile faded away as I starred at him. My stomach exploding with butterflies as you can imagine.

We starred at each other for a moment, slightly leaning in, about to close the small gap that stood between us, but I than regained my common sense. I look away from him, frowning.

I can hear him sigh from next to me. "I'm gonna go out for the night... I'll see you in the morning." He suddenly says, standing up from the bed. I watch him as he walks out.

I look back down at the close photo album.

Fuck my life.

"Good morning Jane!" Christian sang as I walked into the kitchen.

"We're making pancakes!" He says happily, referring to him and Jenny. I had no idea how he can be so cheerful at 8 in the morning.

Me and Miles had our flight at 1 this afternoon. We were going back to Florida where I now live with Miles.

"Yup." Jenny mutters, following a yawn. She obvious wasn't as cheerful. Good to know that I'm not the only one. "Want some?" Christian asks, flipping a perfectly golden brown pancake.

I shake my head, walking towards the coffee maker, where I poured myself a steamy cup. I added my favorite hazelnut creamer, and took a sip.

I was almost moaning with the taste. I literally am not a big fan of coffee but getting to drink it this early in the morning is a blessing.

"You sure you don't want one?" Christian asks. I shake my head, giving him a polite reassuringly smile.

"Suit yourself." He shrugs.

I grab out my phone, typing in; "have you seen Miles?" I hand it to Christian.

"Yeah I'm pretty sure he offered to go out and buy groceries for Kelly." He shrugs. I narrow my eyes. I couldn't exactly see Miles doing anything nice.

"He should be back soon." Jenny says, pouring herself a cup of coffee.

"Okay well I'm off to change." Christian says. "Can you pick me out something to wear?" Jenny asks.

"But of course." With that Christian walked out of the kitchen.

I arch my eyebrow at Jenny.

I had a slight suspicion that they kind of liked each other. I don't think I've ever known someone who's that close to their friend, well not until now. It just makes sense for them to like each other.

Besides they'd probably make a good couple.
