Seán's pov:
I still remember that sing he'd sing to me.

It was silent. Such a change. Mark shoke my shoulder a little.

"Are you feeling alright?"

"I'm fine don't worry." I smiled.

Mark pulled me close to him. Just his touch and warmth is enough to make me happy.

"Can you sing again?"

"Jack. Why do you want me to sing still?"

"Because. I can still hear your voice in my heart...."

Mark lips started moving. I closed my eyes and remembered....

I've gone silent. Its odd not using your voice. But its something to get use to.

Everytime Mark goes out. My heart breaks. Because my world is now really silent. Theres no one to comfort me, warm me up, or sing to me...

Everytime he comes home my eyes are puffy and my face has dried tear marks. And he always has to hold me like a child and help me calm down.

Its like I forgotten that theres a whole world out there. Probably because Mark is my world.

Everytime he's on the phone I watch his lips move. Sometimes he'd laugh. I chuckle a bit because I love that laugh.

A part of me was taken from me. Just like that. It still pains me. The day haunts me.

I wish I could experience the world normally again.

"Jack...."

I was obviously crying. It just hurts. Theres no point of talking ever again. Maybe a miracle will shine down on me one day.

Mark I could tell was thinking. He stood up and left me confused.

"Jack." Mark woke me up one morning excited. He had the biggest smile on his face.

"Yeah?"

"What if I told we don't have to communicate like this in few weeks anymore?"

It took me a few seconds but I jumped into his arms balling like a baby.

"Are you nervous?" Mark held my hand as I layed down squeezing it.

"I'm excited too."

~
My head was in slight pain. But that didn't matter.

"Seán."

I nearly screamed when I heard Mark's voice. He was at the doorway smiling.

I couldn't move. Mark sat at the edge of my bed.

"Can you hear me?"

"I love you!" I tackled him with a hug crying.

Mark was teary eyed as well. I pulled him down on the bed sobbing. He pressed his forehead on mine.

"This is unreal...." I was still overwhelmed with happiness. My voice was a little raspy but I didn't care.

"I've missed you." Mark sounded so comforting.

"I missed sound, I missed your voice, I missed everything...."

~

"Sing me to sleep?" I begged.

"Of course."

His soothing voice was back. My hearing was back. My life was back.
