Dear Diary,
do you ever just wonder why people are so nice?
I promise i'm normal....well not really.
My name is Rain.
I'm 17 & deaf.
I love being outside, smelling the sweet crisp air, laying down on the soft ground hearing the earths heartbeat and starring into the bright blue sky with big cotton ball clouds.
when I was just a newborn I was put up for adoption because my biological parents didn't know how they would end up communicating with me.
and 17 years later I live with my foster parents and little 8 year old sister Ira.
when I was 10 I started drawing and playing the violin and piano, I know I bet your are wonder " what?! A deaf girl playing the violin and piano..impossible!" nope. Its true I just have to have my speakers on max volume.
i'm in love..with art, I want to be the greatest deaf artist ever next to Betty Miller. Her art work inspires me to just throw myself out into the world and find something or someone.
as a family we travel because of my dad's job but he swears this will be the last time moving.
so I guess Los Angeles, California will be forever my home..can't wait.
I go to an all deaf high school known as Marlton High School. I absolutely love it not only because my 2 best friends Nathan & Carlee but because the hottest guy in school goes here.
finally a guy who is deaf and hot, his name is Logan. He is the captain of the Lacrosse Team and not to be creepy I sometimes go heading towards the end of practice to see him reveal his 6 sweaty muscular abs.
but I just got out of school and heading to work. I work at a small town deaf art museum where all my favorite deaf artist hang up their art work and it's beautiful.
most of the tourist that come and visit this museum are hear but I always have a interpretor right by my side just in case.
it's two in the morning why not drive by the beach and play some violin. I get out open my trunk of my car grab my violin and speaker and head down to the beach.
I've been writing a song for the longest of time and I never have the chance to wrap it all up. It's great so far or at least that's what I think I don't know but I will just have to find out sooner or later.
as i'm playing my violin on the beach, feeling the vibration through the ground moments later a sharp pain..on my head, I turn around and it's a guy on the phone I pack my stuff and head to the car. As i'm passing him he looked very pissed & sad if only he would turn around instead of looking away from my face I would know why he is feeling this way.
but it's none of my concern so I gently put my stuff in my trunk and as i'm opening the car door I see him running towards the ocean and trowing his phone down into the dark ocean waters.
something inside my head is telling to go see what's up with him, but part of me was saying to just go home it's getting late.But I felt bad so I walked towards the guy who was laying on the warm sand and laid next to him not to far and not to close, we both gazed up looking at the glimmering stars in the dark sky.
he stood up but half way turned his head and looked at me like why in the hell am I laying next to him. He started talking really fast and I couldn't really read his lips..that's when I pointed at my hearing aid, he looked at me differently he was talking loud so I could hear him "better" but it didn't make any much that of a difference. So I gave it a shot using my real voice to talk,
|our conversation|
Me: In order for me to know what you're saying you need to look at me so I can read your lips.
Him: I'm do sorry I-
Me: Don't apologize..it happens
Him: ok, well I was just talking really fast because my girlfriend just told me she cheated on me with my ex best friend Jay who I hate as you can tell and I just made a dumbass choice to throw my phone 47 meters down into the sea when I could of just deleted her damn number off my phone and I don't know why my girlfriends always have to fucking chea-....I'm doing it again aren't I, talking way too fast I'm sorry I just do that when Im really pissed off or nervous.
Me: It's fine..what is your name? Maybe me asking questions to you will calm you down?!
Him: ok, uhh my name is Ethan..Ethan Dolan. What is your name?
Me: Rain..it's Rain, pretty stupid for a 17 year old isn't it?
Ethan: no it's pretty & unique....Rain, I like that. Well rain I was wondering if I could get your number?
Me : yah sure just go get your phone that's probably 550 meters down into the ocean so I can put my number in there.
Ethan: oh shit..I forgot ughhh umm do you mind writing it down for me?
Me: sure come to my car I might have some paper and pen laying down there somewhere?
Ethan: Are you being sarcastic again?
Me: Meee whaat sarcastic never. I'm joking haha
Ethan: good
Me: there you go just text me or call me whenever
Ethan: thanks rain see ya later
|end of conversation|
to remind you it's like freaking four in the morning and i'm not home yet oh great.
as soon as I open the door I see lights being turned on.
I just tried to go to my room as fast as possible and fall asleep well this is the end wish me good luck in the morning.
Love, Rain
