Chapter 12

Chapter 12 in Silent

"Paige wake up." I felt someone light me shake my shoulder. Opening my eyes I saw my moms smiling face. I lifted my head and groaned.

"You must've been tired it's almost time for dinner." My mom stood up and helped me to my feet. "I'm making meat loaf wash up and come downstairs, we have guest." my mom shut the door and left. I heard her muffled cheery voice downstairs. Probably talking to our guests. I changed my shirt to my black and gray skull shirt grabbed my I-pod and went downstairs. My mom was standing next to a women her age with long brown hair. Somehow she looked oddly familiar. My mom looked at me and showed a disapproving look at the ear bud in my ear.

"Paige I would like you to meet our new neighbors this is Ms. Richards." Putting on a smile I made it down the rest of the stairs and shook Ms. Richard's hand.

"Hi Paige lovely to meet you," Ms. Richards looking behind me said "and this is my son Travis." OH NO. I slowly turned and there was Travis hands shoved in his pocket.

"Nice to see you again."

"Oh you two have met?" asked my mom.

"Yeah me and Paige go to the same school."

"Oh what a small world." said Travis's mom. But I was hardly paying attention to them I was just staring at Travis wide eyed. He just kept on smiling that crooked smile. I stuttered searching for words then retreated upstairs. I ran to my room and slammed the door shut. My breathing was short and raspy like I was having some sort of panic attack. Then I heard the sound of my door opening. I spun around and there was Travis. Damn I need a lock on my door so bad. Travis was in my room. I froze like a deer in headlights and just stared at him.

“Are you okay?” he asked. I wanted to answer but only a small squeak escaped my gaping mouth. So I gave up trying to talk and just nodded silently. He looked around my room curiously. I prayed silently that there were no underwear and bras strewn about. "Cool room." I kept my eyes down and stared at his sneakers. They weren't the ones that were falling apart, they looked like biker boots. "Well we better get downstairs before they think something’s up." I nodded and began to walk towards the door. But he stepped in front of me blocking my path. My hand was reached out to open the door but now it rested on his chest. I spread my fingers out over his chest and I could feel his steady heartbeat under my finger tips. I looked up from my hand into his eyes. He was starring down into my soul. For a while we stayed like that. It would've been the perfect moment for him to kiss me and I wished he had, but my hand fell from his chest to my side. He grabbed my hand again and I didn't stop him. I just let him drag me downstairs.

At dinner Travis sat next to me around the round table. We kept looking at each other and I think Hailey was the only one who noticed. Halfway through dinner my dad came home. Mom invited him and he joined the party. The evening was filled with convocations about money, jobs, gas, and of course the economy. At the end of dinner I helped my mom clean up. When Travis and his mom were about to leave I was both relieved and sad to let Travis go. I'm not sure why but I had an odd feeling he would disappear, and that scared me the most.

whats funny is i'm eating a snickers ice cream bar and there eating dinner! STILL GOOD!!! also there was 2 mistakes "We have guest. I'm making meat loaf wash up and come downstairs, we have guest." you need to get rid of one 'we have guest' and it has to be 'we have guests'

Haha, wow that must have been really awkward for Paige at first! It's so ironic though, and a good experience for them to get closer and maybe for her to actually talk.
