Chapter 16

Steve's POV

I woke up the next morning to get ready for school. I proceeded to take my bath. As the water drizzled down, different thoughts drowned my mind. The nightmares had reduced since the movie night. That was the last time I had that dream and I am grateful.

Then, Melanie, a lot happened to her yesterday and it was to be topped by her inability to speak. I don't know how she will cope till she's finally able to speak. I stepped out of the bathroom, dressed up fully for school and left my room. 

"Good morning" I greeted as I sat down at the dining table. It seems I got dressed a little bit late 'cause every other member of the family was present, even Daisy, the youngest. 

"Good morning son." Mom answered. I glanced at Melanie and she mouthed a "good morning" but to me it seems as if she said it clearly. 

"Can you speak now?" I asked but she shook her head negatively. Probably it's my illusion.
