MLSAHS – Chapter 4 – What You Cannot See – Don't Know How To Stop

Greyson's POV

	KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

	My bedroom door shook at each knock. "Greyson, you need to get up,"
Dad spoke clearly from the other side of the door.

	I hit my alarm clock. The little robotic voice told me the
time. "TEN TWENTY THREE AM."

	"Do I have to!?" I rolled over in my bed. On the weekend, I have to
get up before noon? What kind of teenage life can I live before noon?
	I could barely hear a chuckle come from my dad. "Greyson get up,
please. Abel is here for the afternoon." Abel is here? Why?

	I got up, double checking I have PJs on before exiting my room. I
don't want to be out in the living room with only my underwear on. That
would be too awkward for Abel and me! Pretty sure Abel doesn't want to see
my junk.

	As I was reaching the living room, I heard my mom speaking to
Abel. "You don't have to be so uptight. Just relax and enjoy yourself."

	"Thank you, Mrs. Payne." His voice was so gentle and meek
sounding. God, I wish I could see what the kid looked like!

	I walked into the room tired, and groggy. "Hey..." I groaned.

	"Good morning Greyson!" Mom cheered. How can someone be so happy in
the morning? "Abel is going to be spending the day with us. Sorry to wake
you up early."

	I rubbed my eyes and yawned. "It's okay; I was about to get up
anyways." I was fooling no one with that lie.

	Mom went to prepare a family brunch, leaving Abel and me in the
living room. We had this awkward silence for a while. I was too tired, or I
would try to break it, or I usually would. He would fidget from time to
time in his seat. If I could tell you anything more, I would.

	Eventually, I decided to break the silence. "So how come you're
hanging out with us for the day?" If that sounds rude, I don't mean it to
be. It was a genuine question.

	Again he fidgeted in his seat. "Mom and Dad have to take my little
sister out of town for the day. I didn't want to go, but my brother is at
work. So mom asked your parents if I could stay here for the day." He spoke
so quietly, lucky I can focus on listening more.

	"Oh, where does your sister need to go?"

	"Doctor's appointment..."

	"So why don't you want to go with?"

	I could hear him swallow before he spoke. "I don't like needles,
and she'll be getting one." I will never understand a fear of something. I
get the fear of lack of something, but really? Every time I get a needle, I
get a pinch, and then moments later the nurse says 'it's done' and that's
it.

	"Oh, I see... Do you like your new house?" I didn't hear anything
from him, just the chair he was sitting on creak. "If you shrugged I didn't
see it."

	"Sorry, I forgot..." Favorite part of meeting new people. Like
legit, I love it when people forget I'm blind. "It's okay I guess."

	"Tell me about your old place and town. Why is it better?"

	"It's not that it's better... It's just that its home."

	"I can get that. I moved here after my dad was transferred. I got
used to what would have been my school but by the middle of summer, we were
moving. Luckily I had Skylar to show me around so I can get used to it."
Awww the early days, they make me smile. "I had to get used to a new house
and everything. I liked my old place, but it'll grow on you."

	"Ya, I guess." He sighed. "I miss my old friends, though. This new
school isn't as much fun as the one I would have been going to."

	PERFECT! I get to know what school he's going to! "What school are
you going to? I haven't seen you at mine."

	"That's probably because I go to the private Christian school. Mom
and Dad want me to grow up as close to God as I can." Gaaah God. The whole
idea that some... thing decided that the world should exist and created it
in a week is ludicrous to me. That and what kind of sadist can 'It' be?

	The world has gone to war twice, and countless other wars have
happened. 'It' just sits there and watches as people kill each other. I
don't know about you, but if I could control who died and when, I wouldn't
let wars happen.

	Abel broke me out of my trance. "Do you believe in God?"

	"Hard to believe in something that would choose to make a kid blind
from birth." I retorted bitterly.

	"Oh..." You could hear Abel retreat into his shell some more.

	Footsteps... Dad. "What Greyson is trying to say is, that for some
people who have been cursed, for lack of better words, it's hard to believe
that someone would purposely do that to them. Personally, I find believing
the Bible in a literal sense hard." Now that I think about it, mom and dad
have never spoken to me about religion. "That is a conversation for another
time; now it's time for brunch!"

	Mom made a really good brunch. Some pancakes, bacon, sausage! It
was pretty amazing, and Abel seemed to really enjoy the food as well. He
apparently cleared everything on his plate. He even opened up a little bit
and said mom's cooking was better than his mom's.

	After we had finished brunch, we turned on the TV and hung out in
the living room for a bit. Of course, Abel asked about me and watching
TV. I simply explained that most shows have enough lines to give the basic
part of the show to the blind. That or Dad explains everything to me.

	Eventually, Dad had to go out for something and mom started on a
cleaning rampage. That left Abel and me alone to watch tv. Apparently Abel
came out of his shell enough to ask, "Are you and Skylar more than
friends?"

	It caught me completely off guard. "What?" I choked.

	"Sorry." He quickly replied. "It was just weird that you two were
holding hands."

	"And if we are more than friends? How would you feel about that?"

	"Ummm... I don't know. The Bible says..."

	I cut him off. "The Bible says a lot of shit about random
things. Sure many of the laws in countries are based on the text in that
book, but not everything is. We live in Canada, gay marriage is a
thing. You can like it or not, but it's still a thing."

	Abel remained quiet for a few minutes. Did I scare him from
talking? "You get really passionate about things you believe in."

	"I'll take that as a compliment."

	"My parents... I don't know how they feel about that issue."

	"Why would you care?" Abel didn't reply at all. "Wait, are you..."
	Mom cut me off. "Abel, I think your brother is home now."

	I heard Abel get up from his seat and rush away from me. "Thank
you, Mrs. Payne, for having me," Abel called up to my mom.

	"Anytime Abel!" Mom called back.

	Abel didn't move, or did and was being quiet about
it. "I'll... talk to you later Greyson. See you."

	I offered him a wave as he left the house. I didn't get to finish
my question. Guess I'll just have to ask it when it comes up again. I want
to know what is going through that kid's head.

Aidyn's POV

	"You're such a loser!" Bryce joked to me. I gave him a shove; he
almost slammed into the wall. "A strong looser."

	"Ya, whatever Bryce." I rolled my eyes.

	Bryce here, he's my best friend. Has been since the early
days. We've been through hell and back, and we're still best
buds. Surprisingly, our studies even brought us to the same school for a
year. So I get him to be around for a while yet.

	"How's your roommate?" Bryce asked me.

	I shrugged. "Nathan is alright. His cousin was randomly here the
first day I got here. He was back again last night."

	"Why?"
	"No idea. The kid looked like he hadn't had a bath since he was
last here." I wonder what's going on with him. Nathan said he was going
through something but never specified what exactly "Must be going through
something rough."

	"Maybe something is preventing him from having baths at home." I
looked over at Bryce, giving him a 'seriously?' look. "Okay, something else
is probably going on, but if I'm right I win!"

	"Hopeless, that's what you are." I got my dorm room door
open. Nathan was sitting on his laptop with headphones on, playing a game
of some kind no doubt. Carter looked directly at me; his face was unsure
about something. "Hey, Carter. How was your sleep last night?"

	He ducked under the cover of the couch. "It was okay. How was
class?"

	"Finally getting into learning some stuff. This is Bryce, by the
way. He's one of my best friends." Carter offered him a small wave before
turning around and returning his attention to the tv.

	"Social..." Bryce had commented before I elbowed him in the
stomach.

	"Oh hey, Aidyn!" Nathan noticed us finally I guess. "Carter has
been checked in, so he's good to stay with us for a couple of days. If
you're okay with it, of course."

	"Ya whatever. He's not sleeping in my bed, so what do I care?"

	Nathan smiled. "Sweet, thanks, man."

	Before long Nathan had to go off to a class, which left just us
three in the room. Carter tried to stay distant from us; we didn't
mind. Bryce and I were just goofing around talking about stuff. Well, we
were until Carter spoke. "You're gay, aren't you?"

	It caught both of us off guard. "Ya he is, what of it kid?" Bryce
replied. I know he's just trying to defend me, but it's a kid Bryce. Chill.

	"I saw you on Grindr the other day... You don't seem gay to me."
Thanks? I think...

	Wait a minute! This kid was on Grindr? "You have grindr? Isn't it
for 18 plus guys?"

	He smirked. "That doesn't stop younger people from getting
on. Anyways, I was just wondering what your parent's think of you being
gay. For curiosity's sake."

	What's up with this kid? "First you've got to answer me something."
He nodded. "What were you doing on grindr?" He blushed and averted his
eyes.

	"The kid is gay Aidyn; why else would he be on it?" Bryce smacked
me. I gave him a push back before returning my attention to Carter.

	He was wearing one of Nathan's shirts. It was a little too big for
him; it had to be Nathan's. His hair, even though I know, he washed it
looks greasy still. There's something about this kid that doesn't add
up. "My mom is perfectly fine with it. My dad had a tough time accepting it
at first but he came around."

	"Oh... cool."

	"I'm guessing what's going on has something to do with your liking
guys?" His face fell. Carter looked so ashamed of something. About what I
had asked him. He gave a tiny nod before turning around. "I know it sucks,
but give it time. It's bound to turn around for you."

	"Thanks, Aidyn." He slouched down on the couch far enough so that
we couldn't see him. Bryce and I looked at each other and just shrugged.
	Bryce got in close to me. "What is this Grindr?"

	"It's a dating app for gay guys."

	"And why are you on it then? That would mean you're single wouldn't
it?" Bryce gave me a stink eye.

	I just sighed. "I'm on there to see who in the area is gay and to
meet new people. Nothing more, Noah and I are still going strong." There is
no way that I would do anything to hurt Noah. He's gone through and going
through too much. I WILL NOT hurt Noah.

Noah's POV

	It's just after a Student Council meeting during the lunch
hour. Most of the council had left to hang out with their friends for the
last few minutes of lunch. I remained in Mr. Davis' room afterward.

	Mr. Davis is the teacher who makes Student Council happen. See
every club requires a teacher to sponsor it, and Mr. Davis is the Student
Council sponsor. So I was just helping him get some paperwork sorted out.

	Well, I was, but then he stopped me. "Noah, why are you still
here?" The question caught me off guard. "Why don't you be a teenager and
not an adult?"

	"I am being a teenager." I retorted.

	He shook his head. "No, you're not. You are doing paperwork while
everyone else who was here has gone to hang out with their friends. And I
mean literally everyone." I looked around the room and just like he said no
one was here. "What's up Noah, talk to me."

	I sighed and fell for his bait. "I'm not sure if my old friends
would welcome me back in with open arms..."

	"Why wouldn't they Noah?"

	I shrugged. "I left hanging out with them for spending time with
Aidyn. I don't even remember the last time I ate lunch with them. We've
hung out every once and a while but not really outside of class and the
occasional after school."

	"Well, the way I see it if they won't take you back they weren't
your friends to begin with."

	"That's what I'm afraid of." Mr. Davis nodded his head. "I've got
to go, though... thanks."

	He offered a wave as I left. "Anytime Noah." I quickly made my way
down the hallway and towards where my friends always sat. Right up against
the English classroom lockers. Tiz and Edea have had those lockers since
grade 8th grade, so it made a good spot.

	When I turned the corner and saw them all sitting there, I had to
stop. Will they still want me there? Is this the right thing to do? My
anxiety started getting the better of me. What do I even do in a situation
like this?

	There's Edea, Tiz, Isaiah, Tidus and Ashton all sitting there. You
know stuff about the Twins and Isaiah so let's just skip over them.

	Ashton joined the group in the middle of grade 8. Isaiah actually
pulled him into the group cause, and I quote, "Look at this kid's
suspenders, they are so awesome! He's hanging out with us now." Ashton has
what Isaiah would call perfect hair. His black hair perfectly sets around
his face and shows off his blue eyes perfectly.

	Tidus is a special kid. See when I met him he had solid brown to
his hair, a nice brunette. Now he's got snow white hair. You may ask "did
he dye it?" and the answer is NOPE! His dad's side has a really hard time
keeping pigments in their hair, so yes he already has old people hair. It
helps his icy stare too; his light blue eyes are a sight to see.

	I wonder what they are up to...

	"Hey, Noah, what are you doing?" Kayde...

	I turned around to see Kayde and his bestie Ben. Those two have
been inseparable since I met them. The only thing worse than them is
Rebecca, Ben's girlfriend.

	"What do you want Kayde?"

	They pretended to be cold. "Ooooo Icy Noah. I was just saying hi."
I rolled my eyes. Kayde gets on my nerves now. Before I liked him a little,
but now it's just blah!

	"Why don't you hang out with your loser squad?" Ben pointed towards
everyone.

	Kayde gave him a smack. "Hey, they aren't losers just
different. Get that through your head man." One thing Kayde always had was
that he didn't like people getting picked on.

	"I'll just be going now. See you later." I bolted off away from the
two of them before they could say anything. Before I knew it, I was
standing in front of everyone, knowing that Kayde wouldn't follow me to
them. I just stood there awkwardly until they all noticed me. Once they did
I gave a wave. "Hey, guys."

	"Sit down! Join the conversation." Tidus moved over to give me room
to sit down with them. Well, right now it seems like a good idea to join up
with my old friends. Let's hope it stays that way. I would hate to make
another Kayde out of them.

Abel's POV

	"Jude can you drive Zina to soccer practice!" Dad called from his
office.

	Jude and I were sitting in the living room watching TV. "Ya, when
does she need to be there?"

	"At 1!" I looked at the time, 11:45. He had a little over an hour
before she had to be there.

	Zina came into the living room. "Where's mom?" I shrugged. "Thanks,
Abel." She rolled her eyes.

	"She went out," Jude replied to her. "I don't know where or when
she'll be back." Zina turned around and went back towards where her room
is.

	Well... I'm Abel Yeager. I just recently moved here and still
haven't finished putting together my room. My older brother is usually busy
looking for work, and Zina has gotten into all of her activities
again. Me... I'm here.

	Even before we moved, I was never one for doing things outside of
school. I've always liked going over to friends and playing video
games. See at my house, video games are the biggest no no.. next to
sin. Living with a super religious family suuuuuucks. Like I want to
believe in the god they believe in, but I like science.

	"Abel, how's your room coming?" Dad came out of his office with a
stack of papers. Probably looking at church paperwork. He's a pastor at a
church.

	I groaned. "Same state as it was last time." My clothes are still
in boxes. Let me rephrase that, everything is still in boxes except for my
bedding.

	"I want that done by the end of the day Abel." I threw myself onto
the couch in protest. "We're having people over Sunday night, and I want
the room done. That's final." Dad looked me dead in the eyes when he said
it. When he says 'that's final' that means that you better not disobey him.

	"Yes, sir." I nodded my head and headed off to my room. I guess I'm
finishing my room today.

	Looking around my house... it's nicer than the one we were in. It's
bigger; I don't have to share my room with Jude. I have a bathroom for just
Jude and me now, compared to one bathroom for a five person family. My room
itself is okay. I have a dresser for all my clothes and a desk for my
laptop. My bed is a double bed, so not that big but workable. For just me
to be in here, it's fine.

	My home before, I had friends, and I knew where everything was
around town.  Now I feel lost. A new town means new hangouts and new places
to find. So I guess I get to explore but since I don't know the area I
could get lost.

	I think I might have skipped over something very important. See
back home I had a good friend. When I say a good friend, I really mean a
friend with benefits. Yes, my family is all about 'no sex before marriage'
and I think Jude has actually followed that. Me.. I'm the black sheep of
the family. I'm into boys.

	Yes, I live in a Christian household as a Bi, at a minimum, boy. I
can't tell you what my sexuality is. There are some boys I find good
looking, and the odd girl that captures my attention. So I don't know what
I am right now so bare with me. But seriously its chaos living in this
house.

	Black sheep is an understatement when talking about me. Everyone in
my house loves the church; I hate it. It's boring and long. They all follow
the bible to a tee! I've touched another boy. I seriously don't know how I
got raised in this house.

	While I've had all these thoughts, I got most of my room put
together, and I am now laying down for a rest. Well, I would be but at the
sound of my door opening, I got up into an upright position. "How's the
room going Abel?" It was mom.

	"It's fine," I replied. "Walls are empty still, though." I lost
most of my posters and stuff when I tried to take them down. Most of them
got ripped when they didn't want to come down.

	"I guess you'll have to get some more." Mom smiled at me. "I think
we could start the collection again."

	I couldn't help but smile. "We can find more posters that suit me
and not Jude."

	"There's nothing wrong with my posters!" Jude called out from the
hallway. Mom and I shared a laugh.

	Mom sat down on the bed beside me. "How do you like everything?"

	I shrugged. "It's okay, I guess. Still would rather be at home."
Home being where we moved from.

	"I know. In time, you'll get used to being here. If you need
anything, just say it, okay Abel?" I smiled and nodded. "Okay, I think we
should get back to getting your room done! I'll strike you a deal, if you
sort your clothes to go into drawers, I'll fold them up for you."

	"DONE DEAL!" If mom is going to offer her help, you accept it! In
no time, my clothes were split up, and Mom was busy folding everything. I
started sorting through my knickknacks and deciding where they should
go. My room is starting to feel like my room now.

	Mom is right, I will get used to living here. It just takes a
little time, though. I think I can wait, though.


Chapter End.

	ABEL GETS A POV! Yes, Abel will be getting more POVs in the
future. He's part of the extended cast in MLSAHS.

	Got any ideas on who the??? POV may be? Please email me on your
ideas for the mystery POV. I'd love to hear what you have to
say. kuragari129@hotmail.com is the email you want to send that too!

	Thanks for reading!!


TRIVIA!
	First of all, if you have any idea for future trivia, please fill
out this survey: www.surveymonkey.com/r/DQVRXP9

	Well going off one of the suggestions, let's talk about a specific
character! In the past for LLL, I have told everyone what inspired
character names. For MLSASH, I will get a little more specific. Going one
character at a time!

	We'll start with my favorite! Greyson Payne! Greyson was the
product of a last minute idea of "what if I do a blind character?" In the
past, I told you guys how an actual blind man emailed me and gave me more
ideas for Greyson's story.

	I also do a bunch of research when it comes to activities that
Greyson can do. I want to do activities that a blind person can enjoy,
which by the way is anything that really utilizes the other senses. Baking,
swimming, listening to TV for the hearing impaired.

	Greyson himself really strives for independence. He's always doing
his best to remember where things were so that he can do it himself. He's
got a damn good memory for things. Sky is the whole reason he enjoys
things. Sky is behind a whole lot of Greyson. This is why Sky is next
chapter.


	Ya, I should have started with Aidyn, but I didn't. He'll be third
I promise. Again Thanks for reading!
