Its been 18 months, 12 months since i left the hospital, 18 months without dancing, 18 months alone and 2 months since my boyfriend broke up with me. 18 months and silent, i hear nothing and speak nothing.

I am living death.

I cant communicate except for sign language but no one these days know how to do that, no one can be bothered to learn.

I am 17, and i am living alone, alone in my flat in New York, its nice here.

I am a florist, at the little flower shop down the road from my apartment.

I used to dance, but 18 months ago, everything changed.

I was on my way to Paris for the biggest Ballet competition in the world, the plane crashed on the way, the crash killed 32 people, including my little sister Gabriella, my mum and my dad.

The crash left me alone, deaf and mute.

My name is Emily April Jane, I am a silent girl living in a silent world.
