Catch me

Gardening

We all froze a look of distraught on the taller mans face. It's kind of funny you can tell he's not used to people crying. It didn't take me long to figure out I must have gotten this from her when I was first born. She is probably just surprised i've had it for this long. Honestly I am to most of my belongings don't stick very long. I gently place it between the two sets of pillows on my bed. I take out the few clothes I had and placed them on the bed also. I neatly folded them all and the bag. Opening the first door to find a closet which held a dresser and a little room for shoes. It was big and I would never have enough clothes to fill it. Not like i'll be here long enough to anyway. I place all my belongings in a drawer shutting it softly. I proceed to close the closet and look back at the two. Surprisingly my foster parent was gone leaving me and the intimidating other.  He was weird his stare started to make me uncomfortable. Is he like a relative or does he work here? What do they even do? I have so many questions and I have a feeling none of them will get answered any time soon if at all. I don't want to meet his stare and I try my best not to sitting on the bed. He obviously isn't good at human interaction but I can't judge because i'm not either. I can tell there's something on his mind his eyes give it away. So many emotions but none of them seem to bad. I've always been good at reading people its kinda freaky. I clear my throat hoping for him to say something anything will do.  He seems to be shaken out of it quickly and in return I receive a bright smile something I never would have guessed seeing from him even though we've just met. "I know it seems like a lot and you're probably not happy being here but I assure you we will all try and make you feel at home."Thats what they all say but i've come to the conclusion I won't ever have a home. I stare down at my feet nodding so he knows I heard him. He keeps staring at the closet and it's getting kind of weird. He looks like I just kicked his puppy. "Is there anything you would like to see?" His eyes showed so much emotion and it scared me. I could feel them seeping into me the hope and loneliness. I stand up nodding the best I can. I'll do anything to get my mind off this feeling. My chest feels tight and wanna cry. I don't know what's going on but I need air. It's like my chest is getting filled with water and its weighing me down. "Why don't we go check out the garden?" It came out normally but yet again his eyes gave it away. He was concerned but how. How could he tell I felt like I was dying. I've mastered my stoic face at this point I could actually be dying and no one would know. I follow him out of the room and back down both sets of stairs. We take a back door through the bar set up out into a pretty big garden. It was filled with a variety of colors ranging from yellows to reds to purples. My senses were attacked at all angles from the bright colors to the strong smells. Even with all that it was still relaxing and beautiful. Out of the corner of my eye I could see a a boy who looked about my age with long black hair. He seemed to be digging up weeds possible to add more flowers. The poor boy looked exhausted but he was still going at the weeds pretty fast. I had been walking over to get a closer look ending up next to him. I impulsively grabs a pair of gloves and had gotten on my knees. Without saying a word I started to pull the weeds with him. It's an honor being able to help with this beautiful garden and maybe i'll even be able to plant something. This way we can get it done the times faster and he can take a break. We didn't say anything just pulling in silence but by the look he gave me I could tell he was grateful. It wasn't to warm out but from the motion of pulling weeds it did get warm quickly. We had finally removed all the weeds and it looked just about perfect.  We had both gotten up my bones cracking in the process dusting ourselves off. Then he kind of just turned around and i did the same leaving this unspoken act. I really needed a shower hopefully i can get back to my room unnoticed.  I quietly opened the door and tiptoed through the kitchen. There was about four people in the living area but i was quiet small so i could move silently. I had made it to the stairs nearly having a heart attack but i made sure to dash up them and into my room. In the process of closing my door my eyes had caught a pair of hazel one's coming out of the door across from mine. I closed in gently resting my back up against the door. I hadn't heard him make any other movements meaning he was still in the hall. His footsteps tentatively picked up and disappeared down the hall. I need to get out of here there's something going on and i having a feeling it's gonna come back and bite me in the ass.
