The Last Wave I Encountered

chapter 12

Noah finally came back to school Friday. He was back to being his bubbly, happy self. I knew though it was a cover up. It was going to take a lot of time to fix himself. I was going to be beside him till he wanted me no more. Noah sat down at the table beside me. There was a small gust of wind so everything that was loose was flying. "Crap!" I exclaimed while running and retrieving the papers. This day was just a mess between coming back and getting the items and study guides for finals. These classes were going to make me go insane. "So much for a peaceful lunch," Noah said giving me a peck on the cheek. "Yea, guess so," I replied half way smiling. "So how are you?" I asked grabbing his hand. "A lot better with you by my side beautiful."

Bekah came to the table. Her eyes lit up when she noticed that Noah was back."So the lovebirds are back together," she smirked. I rolled my eyes. "Shush!" With the sarcastic remark she gave Noah purposely leaned over and kissed my. "Eww! God get a room!" I laughed. "Well you asked for it. Where's Vicky?" Bekah looked over to where she sat. "She is currently at MSU for a scholar program." That didn't surprize me Vicky was the 4.0 student who aced everything. That was one of her best things she loved, school. Bri was over at another table with her boyfriend, Will. She lately since the incident had grew distant.

Lunch went by fast. At the end of the day I walked over to Noah's' locker. He was talking to a girl, but instead signing to her. I Kept walking toward him. She hugged him. "Hey," I interrupted. Noah smiled. "Hey beautiful. Um... Annabelle this is Mai, Mai Annabelle." He signed. She half smiled,"Hi I'm his cousin." "That's neat. I'm his girlfriend," I signed back. "She's deaf. Ana is getting a cohering implant soon so she can hear." he explained. "I got to go. See ya cuz" She said and walked off. "Cool," I replied. He leaned down and kissed me. "So do I get the honors of driving you home?" This made me laugh."Yes prince charming you do. I got a surprize for you anyways at my house." I could see the way his eyes lit up. He grabbed the last of his things and shoved it into his bag then slammed the locker. Noah then intertwined His hand into mine.

The ride to my house he kept asking what it was. It just made me smile more. "You will find out soon!" I would say. I loved him whining. He was like those two year old who wanted silly things."Your cute doing that." His eyes widen. "I am not cute! I am a handsome beast thank you very much." I lost it and fell apart laughing. He pulled into the driveway. Noah then got out came to my side and practically dragged me out. "Where's the surprize??" I smiled and went inside. I went to the counter and held up two tickets. "Fall Out Boy! You got tickets?" He said scooping me up in a hug while kissing my cheek. I giggled. "I love you." He pulled back and signed "I love you more beautiful."

That night he stayed over and we watched TV. "You want popcorn?" I asked. "Yes! I love popcorn." He yelled. That made me roll my eyes. I came back in three minutes later with a bowl of popcorn. "I stuck some ranch and white cheddar on it." He smiled. "It's fine." Nah bent down and kissed my head. I stared at him. I loved his soft eyes. They held a world of secret s I knew little of. I was okay with it. One day I will know ever secret there was to know. "I missed you. I did truly," I said then leaned up and gave him a quick kiss. He pulled me up and wrapped me into his arms. "I'm sorry beautiful. I know I shouldn't have done it. I almost lost the best thing in my life."

I stayed in his arms that night. He didn't move for the fear if I moved I would shatter into a million pieces. I couldn't imagine never tuning into him on that first day because Bekah dragged me into it. My hearing was fading and I had to go to the stupid doctors tomorrow for another round of test. We had less than two week before school ended. Then my parents would be back the week afterwards. My life was just a screwed up mess. To top it of my depression was coming back.

I wake up in Noahs arms. "What time is it?" He gently kissed my mouth. "It's almost ten-thirty." Yawning I mumbled, "I got to get ready for my doctors appointment. They're cheaking my hearing decline again." Noah gave me a sad look. "It will be better soon. I'm still going to love you beautiful. Now go get ready and I will pick up us some food." I smiled and signed 'ok'. He then dragged my back to his height and kissed me longingly. I sat beside him on the sofa. I pulled away. "I have to get ready." He pouted. "Okay fine." I giggled and gave him one more quick kiss before getting upstairs.

I threw on a pair of shorts and a Saywecanfly tee. Noah then took us to a little fast food reasuraunt before making our way to the doctors office. Once we were there he got out and walked around opening the door. "Thank you," I smiled. "Your welcome." He intertwined his hand in mine as we walked inside the building. I walked up to the nurses station. "I'm here for an appointment." She looked up. "Name?" "Mai Lilly.". She handed me pappers. "We will be with you shortly. We sat down and I filled in the pappers.

"Mai?" I stood up give a quick kiss to Noah and went in. The lady took the papers and went to the room I was in. "The doctor will be in with you shortly. After five minutes the doctor came in. "Shall we start your hearing test?" He asked. "Better than never." He took me in and did ten test. He the took my back into my room wicht I had to wait another ten minutes.

He walked in. "I got the results back. Your hearing is at 55% level. You have less than two months before your deaf." My heart sank. "Okay." "I'm truly sorry that I can't help." I half way smiled. "Thanks anyway." I walked out and found Noah. "I am 55% deaf. I got less than two months." Noah got up and pulled me into an embrace. My eyes began to water. He led me into the car and drove me home were I stayed in his arms crying out that world.
