Silent Prison (completed)

Going to our new home

"Mom, can we go pick a booth?"  Alex asks pointing to a huge booth towards the back of the restaurant. "Sure, Alex. " Alex calls us to follow him to the booth that by a window showing the parking lot.

"So Sky, do you like our new brothers?" Blake says in a whisper. I nod and smile. "Me too.

Alex chose the biggest booth so none of us have to squeeze in. "So we're you two happy when your foster parents said you guys were being adopted?" Ryan asks taking a sip of his soda. "Yea, we were, we never thought we'd get adopted."  "How long had you guys been in foster care?" Christian asks looking from me to Blake. "Ten years, since we were six years old." "If you don't mind me asking but what brought you to foster care?" Alex asks nervously scratching the back of his head. "I don't know. All I can remember is police taking Sky and I away." "Do you miss your parents?" " We do all the time."

I grab my soda cup and pull on Blake's shirt. "What?" I point to the soda dispenser. "Okay, but get something diet." I nod a walk to the soda dispenser but Paula and Matthew stop me. "What's wrong Skylar, you look sad." Paula says.  I type in my phone."Nothing." "Are you sure?" I nod, hoping she believes my lie. "Okay Matt and I will see you at the booth." I nod and walk away.

Instead oh going to the soda descender I go to the bathroom nod walk into one of the stalls and lock the door. I slide down the wall and before I know it I'm crying. I hate it when anyone talks about Blake and my parents. They are monsters, they are the reason I can't ever talk again. They caused me to be in this silent prison. I hate them so much, but nobody knows not even Blake.

I must have been in here for a long time, because Blake comes in. "Sky, are you in here?" I don't want Blake to know that I was crying. Then he would ask me a million questions. He would try and get me to write why I didn't tell him before I started crying. I decided to ignore him for now. "Sky, come on. You have to be in here the only other place you could or would be is the party room. And I know you don't like to be somewhere, where a lot of people are at."

I clap my hands together, so Blake knows I'm in here. "Are,you,using the restroom?" I just sit here. "Ok, twice for yes, once for no." I clap once. "Last or first stall?" I do nothing. "Lat stall?" I clap once. I here Blake walking around the restroom, he stops in front of the one  next to the stall I'm in, then walks out. "Sky." Blake says knocking on the door. "Can I come in?" I clap twice. "The doors locked." I sit and wait. "Your really going to make me crawl on the floor Sky?"  I clap twice. "Fine." Blake crawls under the stall and sits next to me, in the huge stall.

"Sky, why are you in here?" I look down and hug my knees to my chest. "Do you feel okay?" "How do I respond to that, I never will be ever again. I shrug my shoulders. "Sky?" Blake says moving my bangs from my eyes. "Why are you crying?" I turn away and shake my head. "Sky, you know it really bothers me when you cry and you don't tell me why," he turns me around and tip my chine up, "now tell me what's wrong", I don't like lying to Blake but I don't want to hurt him with the truth.

I pull out my phone and type my biggest lie. "I miss our real parents, so much." Blake pulls me into a tight hug and rubs my back. "I miss them to Sky." I cry even harder now I soon calm down enough for Blake to break our hug. I think Paula, Matthew, and our new brothers are waiting for us." He stands up and puts his hand out to help me stand up, I follow Blake out of the restroom.

As we walk back to the table Blake stops me. "Hey where your soda?" I shrug my shoulders, I probably left it in the restroom. "Here, let's get you a new one." Blake hands me medium sized cup.  I put some ice in it, and place my cup to Pepsi, but Blake stops me. "Sky, get diet." I give him my pouty face. "Fine, but if you get a refill it will be diet." I smile and get my Pepsi.

"Blake, Skylar," I hear Ryan say from behind us. "So we saved Skylar and you some prices of pizza. "Thanks Ryan." I nod and pint to the table. "Okay, let's go," Ryan says happily. Blake and I get into the booth and grow a piece of pizza. "So what took you two so long?" Paula asks. "We were just talking." "What about may I ask Blake." "Some brother stuff that all."

After Blake and I finish eating,our pizza it's time to go home. I must have fallen asleep because I hear Blake calling me, in a soft tone. "Sky,Sky. " Blake says shaking my shoulder gently. "Sky, come on we just got to our new house." I shake my head and curl up into the backseat more. "Sky, come one, or I'll throw cold water on you." I open my eyes wide and look at Blake. He has a serious face, I get out of the car and give Blake my are you happy now face.

"Skylar, Blake, come one out parents are waiting for us," Christian says grabbing our arms, pulling us into the house. I look around the huge living room, it's at least twice as big as out foster parents living room.

"So boys, would you two like to share a room with Alex, Chris, or Ryan?" Matthew asks. "How many rooms are there?" Blake says while looking around the living room. "We have four room, but the boys said you guys could have one rooms to yourselves, or share a room, or share one with them, if you want." Blake and I look at each other and I can tell he wants to share a room with one of our new brothers. I want to share a room with him though, I don't want one of our new brothers to ask why I don't talk.

Blake must have seen the look on my face because he sighs. "Okay. Sky, let's head to our new room." I don't want Blake to share a room with me because he knows I want to, k don't want to be that annoying little brother anymore. As Blake grabs his suitcase I grab his arm and pull his suitcase. "What Sky?" I pull my phone out. " You don't have to share a room with me anymore, you can share a room with whoever you want."

"No, we are going to share a room." I shake my head. "Sky." I shake my head again and cross my arms over my chest. "Sky, don't be like this," he says grabbing both of,our suitcases. I grab by suitcase from him and turn to Matthew who was watching the whole sceen.

"Umm, who will be okay with me living in their room?" "Let me call the boys down, then Paula and I will help you boys set up." When Matthew is out of hearing range Blake starts yelling at me.

"Skylar, what the hell!" Why did you do that? We going to share a room, we always have." I put my hand on his shoulder. "No, I know you want to share a room with one of our new brothers. I don't want to be the annoying little brother, you have to look out for all the time." "No Sky, we are going to share a room, and you are not an annoying little brother."

Matthew, Paula, and the triplets all come down the stairs looking at us concerned. "What's with all the yelling down here?" Matthew asks. Blake give me a we will talk later look. "Oh nothing, just Sky is really tired and wants to sleep, can we have the sleeping arrangements?" "Really, Skylar. Is that what the yelling was about?" I nod and grab my suitcase. "Okay. So where would you like to sleep Blake?" Paula asks. " "Can Sky and I share a room?" I look up and shake my head. "Don't listen to him, he's just mad at me because I woke him up." I shake my head and type. "No, I will not share a room with Blake."

"Well, how about for tonight you two can sleep in different rooms and we will see show that goes." Matthew says. I nod and smile. Blake turns to me and says no. I put my hand on his shoulder and give him my please Blake face.
