Chapter 28
Silent POV
School was entirely boring. I didn't care to make friends since I had no idea how long I would even be here. All day my mind kept wandering to that girl I had seen run by me at the beginning of the day. Why was she so panicked?
"Yo Chris...I mean Silent, You coming to watch the football game tonight?" Austin asked tossing me the ball. I caught it easily and threw it to Luke or well way past him. The Flock and I had loved playing football all the time. We would play game after game for hours.
"Forget watching!" Luke yelled throwing the ball to Austin, "He should be on the team!" I smirked and shook my head catching the ball throwing it back to Luke.
"Not really into playing football for teams" I said, "Plus I wont be here much longer" they stared at me.
"What? You just got here!"
"I've been here for 2 months. It's about time I got back to the rest of my family. I have a girlfriend and a son. People I call brothers and sisters."
"What are they like?" Luke asked slowly, "I mean you mention them a lot, but never really tell us what there really like" I sighed sitting in the grass the ball at my feet.
"Well Shadow's my girlfriend and our leader, more or less. She's my best friend and was the first person I ever met in my flock. She's saved my life more times then I can count. She's a great leader and a great mother to Zack." I cleared my throat.
"Leo and Ian are more or less my brothers. There 15 and identical twins. They keep everyone laughing and smiling. They may annoy the fuck out of me but I don't know what my flock would be without them. There not the brightest and Ian's blind."
"Was he born like that?"
"Yeah he was. Anyways Bright is 12 but knows just about everything. She has her blonde moments but when things go bad she's always there to keep everyone on there toes. She can do pretty much anything, except lead us all for a day. Trust me we tried that once."
"Talia is barely 7 yet more of a fashion diva then most 14 year olds." They laughed, "I'm serious. I can't count the number of times she's complained about me wearing black"
"You do wear black a lot" Luke admitted eyeing me.
"I know. I know. It's just my color." I muttered, "As I was saying. The last person is Zack. I've mentioned before he's five. He's super creative and loveable. Now I don't love a lot of things, but Zack is one of them." I paused, "The other things I love are, Coke, The internet, Freedom, and Shadow"
"Coke? Really?" I narrowed my eyes.
"Shadow doesn't let me have coke because I go insane. So I'm lucky enough to get some"
"Shadow sounds strict" I sighed nodding, my mind drifting to Shadow and the flock.
I missed Shadow. Oh God did I miss her. Her smile; that evil glare she gives me when I sneak up on her; Her laugh when me or the twins tell a joke; The tone of her voice when she's singing a song to Zack; the softness in her eyes when she looks at me. I just miss everything about her.
"Yo Silent?" Luke snapped his fingers in front of my face, "You ok?"
"Yeah, I just need to do something really quick." I shot to my feet and raced inside, upstairs and into my room. My laptop was sitting on my bed side table from the previous night. I opened it, turned it on, and opened skype. When it opened I sent a video request to Leo, since he was the only one on, and soon his face popped up.
"Hey Dude what's up?" Leo's voice was full of static but I was able to make out the words.
"Just been thinking, can I talk to Shadow?" He looked away from the screen as the static cleared up.
"She's uh busy?" I glared.
"Bull shit Leo where is she. How come no matter what time I message you guys she never answers. She's not replying to my texts or calls. Where the hell is Shadow?" He sighed and rubbed the back of his neck.
"She…Um…Left" I sat up straight.
"She what!"
"About a month ago Shadow decided she couldn't handle raising us and left. She left me and Sound in charge til she got back. She took Zack with her" I clenched and unclenched my fists.
"Where the hell did she go?" I hissed.
"I Don't know but I know shes working at thay construction site down town" I nodded.
"I'm going down there to drag her ass back here"
"Go get her Silent. Bring her home"
