(a/n: her outfit and her hair)
Zoë
I take the train, my hearing aids out, my heart beating wildly in my chest.
I'm nervous.
And excited.
I put my head phones in, and play the music as loud as it goes so I can feel the loudness and the beats in my chest.
I sigh.
About an hour and a half later I arrive home.
I got a couple tattoos since. But I've also got long sleeves to hide them.
I may not be disappointing myself, but I don't want to disappoint others.
I step onto the soil and I breathe in the air deeply.
Home.
I'm finally home.
Matthew
I walk around town with my headphones in.
I've gotten used to the fact that I might never see her again.
But that doesn't mean it does not hurt.
I walk with my head low and staring at the ground as I walk, counting all the cracks within the sidewalks.
Then me and another body make a collision.
I take my headphones out ready to apologize and I take a moment to notice that the person is a girl and looks exactly like her.
She smiles at me and gives me a little wave.
It is her.
I hug her tightly. I don't speak.
She has her hearing aids out.
I think I love her.
And with that she leans up and presses her lips against mine.
I don't think I could have ever been as happy as in that moment.
