My collection (Mi's side)

My collection

I had plunged the room into science. Hev raised her hands to speak and then lowered them again dramatically allowing them to hit the side of her hips with a crack. She had waited so long to have someone to talk to and I had made her silent. She would have killed for my voice to scream her feelings aloud. Yet I had it as my own and still couldn’t talk.

“You don’t have to be death to be trapped in silence.” I whispered under my breath while looking away from Hev and not moving my hands. She had no idea what it was like to have a secret. One that was locked away with keys and chains somewhere in the very pit of you. At least she could say it all when her hands were understood. I was simply gagged.

“I think I should take you around and introduce you to everyone else.” Emmet said brightly chasing the thunderclouds out the corners of my room that where threatening to soak everyone.

“I’m sure Mi won’t mind you come back and having another chat with her later on if you want to.”

“No problem.” I said signing the words over my head to Hev. My cheeks were all ready once again covered in tears to be able to face her properly. Life above the surface was heard, slipping under the crashing waves was easy. I would drown again soon. It was about time my legs stopped treading water.

“Mi,” I heard Emmet say gently behind me, his voice not bright anymore but soft and concerned. I’ going to get someone to come and sit with you for a bit. You’ll be safe until they come up right?”

“Yes,” I said softly, but I knew it was a lie. My blood had already started to solidify inside my veins and Dr. Jordan had not ever moved his pencil sharpeners from his desk. I had five of them now. A collection I was proud of.
