Chapter one
Max's POV
"Max! Ally! Come down stairs!" I here my mom say. I look up at Ally and she nods, we go down stairs.
"What's up mom?" I ask.
"Well, one of your dad's colleagues houses caught fire and he and his sons need a place to stay while their house is being rebuilt..." She pauses for a second.
"And they will be staying here." She finishes. I stand wide eyed.
"Where will they sleep the all can't all fit in the guest room." My mom's face stiffens.
"The father will be in the guest room and the two boys will be in Ari's old room." I stand shocked.
"What the heck mom how could you that is Ari's room for a reason, you said no one would be in it, not since he died you said that would be his shrine!" Mom looks down.
"I know Ally! But we are being hospitable! Where else will they stay." My mom hardly raise her voice so Ally and I both know not to argue.
"Well, what a the boys names?" I ask meekly.
"Nick and Drew Walker." Pain shows on my face I don't say another word.
"How could you mom seriously! How could you be so stupid!" My mother look furious at Ally.
"What do you mean Ally?" She asks with venom in her voice.
"Now Max won't ever talk again!" My mom looks at me.
"What?" Ally calms down a bit.
"Max has selective mutism mom, the only time she i here her voice is at home or when she's singing, she doesn't talk at school or any where else besides home. And now since you are bringing a piece of school here, of the out side world... she will never talk again." She finishes.
