"Your sister, Kitten. She was in a terrible accident" she says, sobbing.

You immediately sit up in shock. "What???" "Is she okay?" "What happened????" You look at Karkat and mouth a "I'm really sorry" he nods "it's okay" he mouths back.
"I don't know yet. There was a lot of blood. The doctor hasn't came to talk to me yet. Please come" she said, but you were already throwing on a sweater and heading out the door, Karkat would lock it for you.
You drove fast (and most likely recklessly) but you couldn't slow down. It was your sister.

You pulled into the hospital parking lot, quickly parked, snatched the keys out and locked the car. You ran inside and saw your Mom, waiting for you, her eyes red and puffy from tears. She tried to smile but it was useless. You ran into her arms an hugged her tight.

"The doctor just left. There's good news and bad news" she said, visibly shaking. "I want the good news first" (now was not the time for cat puns) you said. She took a deep breath "she's going to be just fine, fractured arm and a few scrapes and the bad news is....." She said, starting to sob again. "Kitten she's deaf now" you started to cry.

Your poor sister. "How? What happened?" You said, trying to keep it together. "The sound of the two cars hitting *sob* eachother mixed together *sob* with her friend Kurloz's screams had done it" she cried.

A couple minutes later the doctor came to waiting room where we had gone and said we could see her. We walked as calmly as we could to Meulin's room. She was laying on the bed, snapping her fingers and making sounds she couldn't hear.

She looked at us and smiled sadly "Hi it's weird to not hear my own voice" and giggled, but started crying. You had taught her some sign language last year because someone in her school had been deaf and she wanted to be friends with them. Of course she had, she wanted to be friends with everybody. Just because she loved to see people happy.

She didnt deserve this. You started crying harder. She wiped yours and her own tears. She signed "*it's going to be okay*" and smiled. Your mom cried but smiled back.
You signed "*i love you soooo much*" and she did it back.

After a few hours the doctor had told you that Meulin could go home in the morning and she should get rest after her long day. "Thank you doctor....?" Your mom said, asking for their name. "Doctor Maryum, and please no thanks. I love doing this" she said, smiling and giving Meulin the ice cream she had asked for, which had made you laugh.

"Can you tell her I'll be here in the morning to get her?" Your mom said to you. You nodded. You started to sign but was interrupted "you'll fight me in the morning?" Meulin giggled, pointing to her lips. "I can read lips a little bit, I'm a little rusty though" you all laughed, the tears all dried.

As you were leaving you saw a person you know at the counter with a little boy "Gamzee...?" You said, not realizing it was out loud. He turned and smiled sadly. The little boy stood there with his hands over his mouth. "Hi Cat-sis. This is kurloz." He gestured to the boy beside him.

"Oh you're kurloz? I'm Meulin's sister" you said, smiling. He looked surprised then started crying. Gamzee picked him up. "He's upset with himself for contributing to-" he whispered, pointing to his ear. "Oh." You said. "It wasn't your fault. You were scared. I would have done the exact same. It's okay, Meulin doesn't blame you" you said, but he didn't say anything.

Gamzee asked if everything was okay and you explained everything and he smiled again. "See kurloz? Lil Cat-Sis is gonna be wicked great. It's okay" he put the little boy down. He just nodded with a small frown.

You walked out with them and then said your goodbyes. You got in your car and drove home. You got in the house and walked into your room. You took your shoes off and laid down on your bed, not bothering to get changed. Pounce curled up next to you and purred. She knew just what to do to make you feel better.

You slowly drifted into sleep.
