《My Mute Mate》Ch. 33
Advertisement
I was watching Sym gleefully get pushed on the swing by Calum and Ashton, when Drake suddenly plops down next to me.
"Hi." He grins at me as he lights up a cigarette. He offers me one and I shake my head. I wave slightly and he chuckles.
"Don't worry, you can link me. I'm in the pack." His voice pops up in my head and I sigh in relief.
"That makes everything so much easier." We avoid looking at eachother so it doesnt look like we're mind-linking.
"Yeah.. I like the way your voice sounds. It fits you." He compliments me and I feel my face get hot. Suddenly someone gently grabs at my arm so I look up to see Daniel.
"Hey, can I talk to you for a second?" His familiar soft voice asks me and I nod. He helps me up and we walk away from everyone.
"Hey, so I don't know how to say this but that's not a good idea." Daniel scratches the back of his head and I cock my head.
"What's a bad idea? The smoking? I know, thats why I said no."
"No, no. I meant Drake." His voice lowers even more and I feel my eyebrows scrunch together.
"What do you mean?"
"I saw him giving you the smile and you blushing and it just isnt a good idea, okay? He's bad news."
"But you're friends with him, aren't you?"
"Well... Yeah. He's my best friend but it's different."
"How?" I watch Daniel try to explain when it suddenly dawns on me.
"Daniel. You're not jealous, are you? Do you like me and are getting jealous because some other guy is being nice to me?" I smile slyly as his face turns beet red.

"T-Thats not true! Just, be careful Dove."
"Don't worry. I'm a big girl." I grin widely and go back to sit next to Drake.
"What'd Danny want?" He asks and I half laugh half wheeze at the memory.
"Oh nothing. Just has some things to accept." Drake grins and puts out his smoke. Right then, Sym sits right next to him.
"So Drake, when'd you get out? I thought you had another month?" Sym asks and Drake chuckles.
"I got out early on good behavior." He explains and I cock my head.
"He got caught in a knife fight and resisted arrest." Sym explains, seeing my look. I suddenly begin how heavily Daniel meant that he was a bad idea.
"Wow Sym, way to go. Look at her face. I was trying to ease her into my terrible past." Drake lectures sarcastically and Sym rolls her eyes.
"Past? Also, stop hitting on my friend. It's weird." Sym grins and my face starts burning again. I immedietley look beside me at Daniel and he shrugs. I look back over to find Drake and Sym arguing playfully.
"Yes my past. I wont get arrested again."
"So youre not gonna do anything illegal anymore?" Syms voiced is heavily laced with doubt and Drake starts grinning.
"I never said that, I just said I wouldnt get arrested again. Also, it's not illegal if you don't get caught." He gives her a wink and she sighs.
"Yet you don't let me get into any trouble."
"Well, yeah. There can be only one."
"What? Only one what?"
"Only one disappointment in the family." Drake leans back as he casually calls himself a disaopointment. Is his thought of himself really that low?

"Hey Dove! Come on I'll push you!" Calum yells from the tire swing, making me smile. I get up and jog over. Cal and Ashton help me up before standing on either side and pushing me. I end up spinning way too quickly and almost fall off, but have fun all the same. Im stopped suddenly, dizzily seeing Ashtons wide smile staring me in the face.
"Wait! Let me just climb on here!" Syms voice sounds from behind me and she climbs up to the top of the swing. I grin as they start swinging us.
"I came in like a wreeeeeeckinng baaall!" Sym purposely sings poorly, forcing her voice to crack multiple times before laughing. "I don't know anything but that."
"Of course you don't." Drakes amused voice sounds from nearby, but everything is blurry right now.
~Time skip~
I sit on the tire swing happily as everyone talks from the ground. I don't know why they let me have the swing, but I'm happy nonetheless.
"So what now guys?" Drake asks, sipping from a can of soda he got from his truck. I shrug with Daniel and Calum.
"I want to do something that we probably shouldn't do." Ashton pipes up after a while and I don't like the smile that spreads across Syms face after.
"You mean like Truth or Dare?" She says lowly and for some reason a knot forms in my stomach. I havent played this game since elementary school.
"I'll pass." Ashton opts out and Sym shrugs.
"Everyone else?" I shrug and nod while everyone else lets out a begrudging 'sure'. Sym rubs her hands together mischieviously.
"Wow, only Ashton is smart enough to opt out. Everyone else is willing to be at my mercy... Intresting." She laughs evilly at the end and Daniel groans.
"Oh come on just start the misery already." Drake laughs as the sun begins to set behind us. He lights up another cigarette as my knot tightens. I don't like the bad feeling this is giving me, and my gut's usually right.
"Well then, lets begin my children."
"I'm older than you."
"I was trying to set the mood, Cal."
