"SAM TIME TO GET UP!" mike's voice echoed around the house, I groaned and sat up straight in my bed. I looked around for a clock, it was 9am. 'it's too early' I thought to myself as I collapsed back onto my bed. "SAM!" I rolled my eyes and got up and changed into my skinny jeans and a black top before walking down the stairs. "morning, juice?" Tracy asked me. I nodded and sat down next to tee and Harry. "Jeff said he heard you singing yesterday" Harry said holding his toy giraffe's mouth to his ear. I sipped some juice and acted like I didn't know what he was talking about. Gina laughed a little. "Harry, I don't think Sam would sing" she replied to him, he nodded as he pretended that 'Jeff' was talking to him. "he said he heard you singing and playing the tuitar." I smiled at the way he said guitar. "Sam, you don't own a guitar, do you?" Gina asked talking the carton of milk off the table. I waited for her to turn around before I nodded ever so slightly. Her face turned to an impressed look. "do you sing?" I shook my head immediately, I hate lying but if I told her I sung then everyone would want me to sing and that shiz wouldn't go down with me. Gina nodded. "shame, I bet you would have a lovely singing voice" Tracy said. I smiled without showing my teeth. Then finished my breakfast and headed back into the garden, I loved it here, it was the most peaceful place I'd ever been. I laid down on the soft grass and closed my eyes, relaxing.
I jumped up as I felt something hard and round hit my side. "sorry 'bout that" liam said as he picked up his football. "wanna' play?" he asked gesturing the football at me. I looked behind him and saw Johnny, tee, Carmen and frank behind him. I nodded and stood up. "great, boy vs. girls then" he replied as we both ran to the others. I don't want go into detail of what that match went like. Lets just say that the girls lost...badly. Actually it was 9-1 to the boys. I was the only person to score and that's only because liam and frank were talking at the time. Johnny high-fifed frank as the game finished. "at least you scored Sam" Carmen said giving me a warm smile. I smiled cockily and sarcastically flipped my hair. "good try, girls" liam said walking past and doing that 'boy handshake' with frank. you know the only where they lock hands and knock shoulder to shoulder. No? doesn't matter
I heard a quite knock on my door. I put my magazine down and walked over to the door and unlocked it. A little Harry wondered into my room and sat on my bed. I closed the door and followed him and sat next to him. His cheeks were tear stained and his eyes were red and puffy. I nudged him and he looked up to me. "everyone's fighting down stairs" he said before rapping his arms around me and digging his head into my chest. I listen carefully and heard the screaming voices from down stairs. They were fighting about me. "WHY DOES SHE GET A FUCKING ROOM TO HER OWN?" Elektra voice was strained and worn out, like she'd been shouting for a while. "YOU WATCH YOU'RE MOUTH YOUNG LADY" mike shouted back. I rolled my eyes. Why was Elektra so ignorant and childish? Harry lifted his head up and looked me straight in the eye. "why don't you talk? I want you to talk" he said smiling. I looked at the gaps where his teeth were falling out. For Christ's sake just speak, he's a little kid no one's going to believe him that you've spoken. I gulped down some saliva that was stuck in the throat. "I-I-m o-n-l-y-y sp-peaking f-o-o-r yo-u" his smile grew. For the first time in 8 years, I've spoken, and it hurt like hell. My throat felt dry when I forced the words out and it felt like I was swallowing my tongue with every word. "Jeff thinks you have a nice voice" Harry said as he held the toy up. I kissed it's cheek. "tha-ank you J-jeff" I said before handing it back to Harry. Harry stood up and ran down the stairs. I heard his voice yelling minutes later. "SAM CAN TALK, SAM CAN TALK" he yelled as I heard his footsteps running up and down the house. Tracy walked into my room. "I know this sounds a little crazy, but Harry says you spoke to him" I lifted my right eye brow and shook my head trying to seem confused. She nodded, believing me. I needed to master this talking thing. Maybe Harry could be my human diary or something without sounding creepy and weird.
