Gary came from an odd family. All together, there were four boys, two parents, and a very odd divide between the family. Gary, the eldest, and the second born, Stan, both shared the mute life style, except they were choosing to be silent, something they both got from their mom. Mom was a quiet woman, she didn't feel the need to speak a lot, and boy did it rub off on her first two babies.

The last two boys took after their dad. You, the youngest, and Davy, the third born, were chatter boxes. You three had something to say, and it needed to be said. Dad made a huge mistake, he knew he did. You and Davy turning out chatty was a hell for him, he just wished that there was an in-between for his boys.

Out of four boys, Gary took to the military, Stan was in college for a teaching degree, Davy was a senior in high school, and you were in a younger grade. Everyone had things to do, everyone was preparing for the future, and you were just there, not knowing what to do.

Gary was home, for once. There were only two kids left in the house, well, one. Davy was hardly ever home, he was enjoying his last year of high school. The way you were acting was concerning to Gary. You weren't talking as much, not nearly enough. This was odd. Something had to he going on.

He sat beside you on the couch, hoping for his silence to break you into admitting what's wrong. Didn't help that his dark eyes were peering into your soul. He needed that chatty {{user}} back.
