Shy Girl, Sad Girl, Mute Girl. (On Hold)

Double Trouble.

"Hi there!"

I jumped and whipped my head to my opposite direction so fast that I wondered why I didn't get a whiplash, I placed a hand on my chest to stop my running heart.

In front of me was a girl of my age with long black hair, blue eyes and a was shorter than me by a head. Guilt flashed through her eyes, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean scare you"

How was I going to tell her that it was okay?

I can't talk. These are times like these I needed Evelyn or my mom, they help explain to others why I can't respond.

I shake my head and gave her a small smile, I got back to rummaging through the racks which was what I was doing before she came. Maybe that will give her the hint that I don't want to talk to her without being rude.

"I'm Vanessa"

I bit the my inner cheek and continued what I was doing, I had already gotten what I wanted I was just pretending to be busy. Can she just leave already?

I glance at her over my shoulder and walked away, I know this is rude but what other way do you think a mute person should do?

Like I said, I was true with the mall. I went to the cashier and dropped all the clothes I had bought which wasn't much by the way. I see the lady's face turn into a frown, she picked up a white spaghetti crop top and showed it to me.

"Are you sure you want to buy this?"

I took a close look at the cloth and saw what she was pointing at, it was the logo of Meg's Collection.

I nod and smiled at her and slapped my credit card on the table, she takes it and with one swipe, I had bought all these clothes. The lady who's name was Helen packaged the clothes and in total was five bags; very small.

I smiled again and took the bags and my credit card and left not before hearing her say quietly, "I wonder where she got the money from"

I smirked, oh how I wish you knew.

I pointed at the cup of strawberry on the large menu board and the medium sized hot dog. The man nods and I glanced around, for some reason this guy knows that I'm mute and didn't question me or try to make me talk, and boy am I glad.

I payed him with cash because I'm sure that a food truck wouldn't have POS and if they do, this one doesn't. With the ice cream and hot dog in my hands, I found a good spot which was a park bench under a tree.

I placed my shopping bags on it and sat next to them, I open the ice cream and took a bite of the hotdog first. I didn't eat my breakfast and I was very hungry.

While munching quietly, I looked around the park. It was full today, children playing while yelling or running, adults sitting on benches and talking to each other teenage couples making out.

Wait what?

I was not supposed to see that.

I tore my gaze from them and ate silently.

"Nigel! Get over here!" I hear somebody yell and faced that person, he was shouting at a little boy who looks like he's five year old. The little boy named Nigel was running out of the park and into the streets, no one could reach him except for me because I was sitting close to the gate.

I saw Nigel run behind me and I got up immediately, pursuing him was easy. Only, he was a bit far from me and was now out of the park. A white truck honked several times and before it could pull the brakes, Nigel was sitting on the floor.

He was holding his left foot and was shouting, I felt adrenaline burst through my body and dragged him away from the street just in time as the truck drove by fast.

I held the boy with shaky hands and turned to the park, everybody was staring at me. I nervously walk back inside and gently drop Nigel on the grass, he wasn't crying anymore and was now looking at me with big green eyes.

I stooped down his level and smiled at him, then ruffle his brown hair. "Nigel! Nigel!, Are you okay?" The other boy who shouted earlier rushes to our side and picks the boy and places him on his lap.

I took a good look at him and knew who he was and what he was doing, he was the one sucking faces with that blonde long ago. He must've forgotten about his brother and this happened.

What a stupid, useless, excuse of a person!

I couldn't say all those and more to his face, I just avoided eye contact with him and stood up. I was about to leave when I felt a tug on my wrist, I angrily turned and see the boy holding my hand.

"Hey, um thank you. For saving my brother's life I-"

I cut him of by removing my hand from his and walked away, I went back to the bench and picked up my shopping bags and left the park. My car was just parked around the corner, I got it and slammed the door shut.

Calm down Felicity...... you can't be angry for no reason!

I puffed out air and turned on the ignition, first the mall and then the park. I was dragging to much attention.

So much for going 'out' today.

"Are you back yet?"

I stopped on my tracks and looked behind me to see Evelyn coming out from the kitchen, she was looking bored and probably sleepy.

I nod and motioned to the shopping bags with my chin, she raises an eyebrow. "You had fun today....."

I almost scoffed, almost.

I was being forced to talk today by some girl I don't know and me not replying would make me look rude, so I walked away and although that may look badass it is also rude and I won't like it if someone did that to me. As if that wasn't enough, I got involved in an accident all because of...of..some stupid excuse of a brother jerk who lets his brother wander off in a park. How would he notice? He was busy licking makeup off some stupid blonde who also DID care about the kid's whereabouts! If I wasn't there, the kid could've gotten hit and get injured or possibly......dead! That's when the boy is all 'concerned' and rushes to his brother side like a worried parent! if you think I had a fun day after listening to this then No! I had an 'I regret going out' day!

"I think you not having your voice for now is helpful"

I looked up at Evelyn staring at me wide eyes,  I smiled sheepishly and bowed my head. Which indicated one thing.... I was rambling.

"Just go change into something comfy and be down in a few minutes, dinner was supposed to be ready but isn't so you'll have to eat late"

I nod and went upstairs while Evelyn went back to the kitchen, once I was in, I dropped the bags and collapsed on my bed. Today had been a tiring day and I was very hungry and tired, I only wanted to cuddle with my Fluff and watch cartoons while eating popcorn.

But I had to have dinner otherwise Evelyn might tell my mom that I had refused to eat my dinner. Few seconds later, I showered and changed into some comfy pjs and went downstairs.

Dinner was tomato soup and I ate till I was full. Evelyn had gone to bed and I was now in my room doing what I planned to do earlier; me, Fluffy and cartoons only with no snack, I was full.
