Arthur- Learning A New Way To Comunicate Pt2

This is a short one, but hope you guys still enjoy it

Through the years Arthur learnt sign language and when he married Linda she also learnt sign language. Her childhood was perfect, her family were able to communicate with her, but her teenage years are hard. YNs now 16 and is finding it hard to make friends because she can't speak or hear. She stoped going to school because her teachers wouldn't change their teaching to support her, so aunt Polly took it upon herself to teach YN to read and write. YN spends most of her days in the house reading books which causes the family to become worried about her
"She needs to make friends" Linda scolds her husband
"Don't you think I know that? But how does she make friends when no one else will try to communicate with her?"
"Why don't you speak to Finn. Maybe he can introduce her to someone" Linda suggest
"Who? The girls he fucks or the blinders?"
"Arthur come on. She's lonely. Look at her" Linda nods towards the girl who currently has no idea her dad and step mum are talking about her
"I know she is but what do I do? She's deaf and we live in a world who hates people who are different" Arthur shouts
"We'll figure it out"

Over the next few days Arthur and Linda do their best to try and get YN to leave the house, to meet new people. They ask Finn to introduce her to his friends which YN replies with
'I don't want to be friends with my uncles friends' which was a very fair point. So now they've asked her to go to the bakery. YN leaves with a little bag and some money. She walks down the street towards the bakery where she literally bumps into a girl who immediately apologises. Normally when people find out YN is deaf and mute they leave and don't bother trying to understand, but this time was different. Once the girl realised YN wasn't responding to her she signed that she was sorry. YN was shocked that someone else knows sign language. That day YN made her best friends, Emma, who she found out her mother was also deaf.
This is where the Shelby's got to see YN become confident. Emma introduced YN to her friends who were all willing to learn sign language, even if it takes them a long time. Things for Yn were finally looking up.
