My Silent Words

Prologue

Alexander's POV

I am Alexander Ray. 14 years old. And I have white blonde hair and has light emerald-like eyes.

If you want to ask about my sexuality, I'm bisexual because for some reason I have feelings for both girls and boys but who cares? And I'm also thankful that my mom is not a homophobic person. Although I pretend to be straight in public because I don't know how will people react in regards with my sexuality.

Another thing that might be the reason why I have no company AKA friends is that because...

I'm mute

Yeah you heard it right.

I'm mute. but I can talk, but only very very often. Well, that might sound crazy, I know but here's a short story.

I'm not born mute. I just decided to be mute.

It's because of one incident that happened in my life that is the only reason for my loss of words.

One day, my father and brother went on a trip somewhere in Florida. And by two weeks later, they would arrive on the airport on that certain day. Two weeks have passed and we still have no update about them.
My mother and I got really terrified of what might happen to them. Then the news on the TV appeared that a plane from Florida has crashed due to engine errors.

Starting from that day and so on, I locked myself inside my room and stayed in there for the rest of the summer.

And I only eat once a week? Twice? Nah, it doesn't matter.

That's why my weight received a great loss and turning me into a skinny stick figure due from lack of eating.

Some time after that, my mother seemed to worry about me. She doesn't want to lose another loved one of hers. So since that I don't wanna go down for breakfast, lunch and dinner, my mother brings food to me.

She brings me food to my room hoping that I'll eat and bring my old self back.

Well yeah, I might have eaten food that she gave me but i didn't ate it all. And good news, my weight slowly gained but I ain't getting over my depression remembering my father and brother's death.

I became silent over night and only used my body as response

I don't like to talk anymore. Opening my mouth seems like a waste of time.

Everytime that my mom speaks to me, I just response in nods and gestures.

Anyways, I am currently inside my room and I'm just laying there doing nothing like a peanut butter in between two pieces of bread. When a creek in the door occured. I happen to see Mom enter my room with a worried look on her face.

"Son, I know it's hard for the both of us to have this some kind of feeling. The feeling of losing our loved ones." She said and made me look down in sadness

She placed her hand on mine and continued her small speech. "But son, you know what?" I looked up at her and saw a smile on her face.

"They may be not here by our sides but they will always be watching us from above and will always be right here." She said pointing on my chest.

I just smiled in response.

"I know what will make ourselves better. Let's eat dinner together shall we?" She asked and I nodded and followed her downstairs.

As we reaach downstairs, I can smell the sweet fragrance of beef steak that is obviously located in the kitchen. Beef steak is usually one of the foods I eat whenever I feel sad which is my feeling right now.

I sat at the table facing mom on the other side and started eating our beef steaks.

After a few moments of silence, mom broke the silence.

"Son, I've got something to tell you" she says that made me stop eating and stare at her.

"Honey, we're moving out" after she said all those words, my eyes widen in shock which made me open my mouth.

"Go pack your bags, honey. I bought us a new house in New York that you'll really love and we'll be leaving by tomorrow morning". She says with the smile on her face and puts her hand on my cheek and starts rubbing her thumb in circles.

Without hesitation I ran up to my room and started packing my things. Besides, we really need to move out because there are some malfunctions in this house.

I packed starting from the clothes to my personal things. Not to mention my guitar and keyboard. I can't let a day pass without playing my guitar and keyboard. These are my happiness. And my father gave me his guitar for seven years now but sadly, it just reminds me of my father.

After I finished packing in my room, I went to my brother's to get a special thing to him. It was his teddy. I know it might sound cheesy and childish but, it's his favorite teddy and he can't go to sleep without it so, it could be nice of me to bring his teddy with me so that I have a small remembrance of my brother.

To make sure everything's packed up, I listed and rechecked everything.

As soon as I had everything, I went to my room for a nap because we will be leaving tomorrow very early and it will be a really long ride to New York.

New York. We're moving to New York.

~~~•oOo•~~~

After a few hours, I hear mom waking me up.

"Alex, Honey, it's time to go." she said and I simply nodded.

I rubbed my eyes and yawned for a moment. I checked the clock.

1:30am

I guess we will be leaving much earlier than I expected.

I stood up and went in the bathroom for a quick shower and after that, I went outside to see mom putting our things in the car.

"Would you like me to put your bags in the back?" she asks but I shook my head saying that I'll be carrying it all the way. She quickly nods in understanding.

I head towards the passenger seat with my bag with me so that it'll make a good pillow once I sleep on the travel and my other things especially my guitar and keyboard safely on the back of the car.

She starts the engine and off we go.
