He looked at her then to Tara. He grabbed her Leonie's arm and pulled her along. "Sorry about that…I didn't mean for you to hear that…"

Don't apologise when you've done nothing wrong…I've heard it all before
It was difficult to vocalise her thoughts when she didn't have a pen and something to write on, and never again would she use her arms to write on. I wonder where we're going…
He signed. 'Sign Language?"
She thought for a moment, no one had ever suggested speaking to her in sign. She nodded slowly before signing out what she wanted to say.
'I wanted to say that you don't need to be sorry. It wasn't your fault. Also where are we going?'
"Just away from Tara" He said quietly.
'I think some fresh air might help, why don't we go outside?'
"Sure." He said smiling. "I also did that yesterday…" He stated remembering the occurring events.
She followed him outside, feeling somewhat relief as the cool air washed over her.
'Do you want to talk about anything, i may not be good at speaking but i make a great listener.' She smiled shyly at Alexander, hoping he would want to talk.
"What should i start with?" He said lookig at her. "It's not easy to explain…"
'I…' She paused, deciding her words carefully. 'I think if you just show how you feel it will be easier than explaining every detail.'
"Well…That's what I've been trying to do for three years…I hate how I look right now…" He states.
She messily signed 'tell me about it', half hoping that Alexander wouldn't pick up on it. She smiled sympathetically. 'You'll be able to change that soon, yes?'
He sighs. "Not sure. Hopefully…" He growled. " I hate my dog." He looks up at the clouds trying to make out the shapes of each one.
She scrunched her nose up with a frown, trying to think of possible things that the dog had done. Broke something? Ate his homework? Chewed his favorite pair of shoes?
She took a deep breath, still frowning. 'Did the dog break something?'
"He tore up my binder," he said hoping she knew what she meant.
'Did you only have the one?' She instantly felt bad for Alexander, assuming he must have been very uncomfortable without the binder.
''good ones yeah…'' He sighed and he took his hoodie from around his waist and put it on. "It a little cold out here isn't it?"
Leonie took a moment to look at herself, slightly regretting wearing a dress. 'A little, but cold air is good for the mind!' A soft chuckle floated from her lips, remembering that Cora had told her the same thing multiple times before.
He smiled. "Tue…It'll help me with th-" hi phone buzzed
Jacob: amy (the most wonderful woman in the world)?
Alexander: It's not amy (the most wonderful woman in the world).
Jacob: Sorry. Alexander?
Alexander: Leave me alone.
With that, he turned his phone off completely.
She couldn't remember the signs for 'dead' or 'name' so she didn't know how to sign what she was thinking. All she could bring herself to do was gently rub his back, hoping that he understood she was trying to comfort him.
"My name used to be amy (the most wonderful woman in the world)…Before this…After high school started I decided I needed the change. Thus Alexander was born." he said jokingly.
'I figured.' she smiled, not knowing how to tell Alexander she was more or less in the same situation. 'You are happier as Alexander, yes? Even though some people make it hard for you.'
"Yeah. It makes me feel like I'm who I'm supposed to be." He said happily. "I feel like I belong when I'm like this." He had a huge grin on his face.
Seeing him smile made Leonie smile brighter. 'That's good. It's good to feel like you belong, because you do! No matter what others say or do, you belong Alexander.' It took her a couple of seconds to figure out how to sign his name, and she thought she might have done it wrong.
A ping from her cardigan pocket caught her attention. She pulled out her phone to find a text from Cora: 'Class started like 5 mins ago, where the hell are you? Is everything okay?'
She covered her face with one hand, sighing. 'I don't feel up to Geo today, can you make notes for me? I'll see you soon.'
She looked back up to Alexander. 'Are you going to your lesson?'
