'Thanks I guess.' I signed, going to the kitchen.
I've been getting better at eating without someone telling me to.
Leo said I had an Eating Disorder, and that's why it was harder for me to eat regularly. He said he thought I had one because he used to have one and I had the same symptoms as him.
"Are you ever going to tell me how often you talk? Because clearly you do." Piper asked, taking an apple from a plate on the counter.
I just shrugged, and threw away some trash that was left on the counter.
'Can you yell for the kids to come eat?' I signed, and Piper nodded, then went upstairs to get everyone.
When everyone got downstairs, I had plates at every seat with Mac and cheese, Corn, and chicken nuggets on every plate.
"Percy! I don't like corn!" MJ complained, sitting in front of a plate.
'Sorry MJ. Just eat what you like, ok?' I wrote on a paper and pushed it in front of him, because he doesn't know sign language.
He nodded and stared eating along with the other kids.
'Ask if any of them want desert?' I signed to Piper, and when she did, almost all of there faces lit up.
I gave the girls cupcakes, because they make the least mess with it usually, and the boys voted on brownies.
'hey, what's up? You always have the dessert when I let you.' I signed to CJ.
'CJ' I signed, knowing he would tell me.
"Uhm, that lady that Jacob told you about the other day? She adopted Jacob. I mean, I'm happy for him, I really am, but now he's not here, and he was practically my brother at this point. Someone else also adopted Ada and Amanda. They were like my sisters. Percy why is everyone leaving? I don't understand!" CJ started crying when he started talking. I walked behind him and started rubbing circles on his back.
"I'm just gonna go to bed." He said, getting up from his chair.
I wrapped my arms around him before he could move anymore.
A few minutes later, I let go and signed, 'You know I love you right? You can always talk to me.'
"Yeah, I know, thanks Percy."
'Night CJ.' I signed, and watched him walk up the stairs.
"Hey Perce? I need to tell you something..." Piper said nervously.

I tried making a cliffhanger. I don't know if it's good or not though. Thank you everyone who is reading my story.
