A/N: NO PHUN INTENDED IS SUCH A GREAT ALBUM! LIKE, I MEAN, I HAVE KNOWN THIS BUT I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD SHARE THOSE FACTS <3
JOSH'S POV:
"You talk really well for a deaf person" I said
"Well, I went deaf at eight" he responded
"Oh, so you learned to talk before you went deaf" I asked
"Well, I was eight, so yeah" he said, obviously
"Oh, yeah, duh" I said
"am I talking too loud?" he asked
"No, you keep getting a tiny bit louder then a tiny bit quieter but it's not too quiet or too loud" I said honestly
"Oh, cool, thanks" he said
"So you can read lips?" I asked
"Yeah" he responded
"What's it like?" I asked
"Well, I can't hear anything. Ever. So I don't know how loud or quiet I am. Plus, when multiple people are talking at once, I get really bad anxiety because I want to know what everyone is saying but I can't. The only thing I can hear is my mind and complete silence is a scary thing" he answered
"Oh...that sounds awful" I said
"It can be. But sometimes, It's good. I mean, I don't HAVE to look at people's lips so I can just shut out the world sometimes. Like, have you ever wished you could just make everything stop?" he asked
"yeah" I said
"Well, I CAN. So it's actually pretty useful. I mean, I'd rather be able to hear but, there's a bright side to this situation. Not every situation but this one. Plus, I can still see the stars" he said
"That's true" I said
"Maybe someday, we can hang out." He said
"cool beans." I said
"I'll text you" He said
"Okay" I said
He walked away
I went home, thinking about the boy I had just met.
TYLER'S POV:
I was surprised he didn't just make up some dumb excuse saying "ah, sorry. Well, I gotta go". He actually stayed and asked questions. And none of them were offensive.
Not as bad as you thought, huh?
Do you seriously think he's going to respond to your texts? Or want to hang out?
No. But he didn't run
Well, he sure as hell isn't gonna show his face any more
He asked for my number
THEN he found out you're deaf
Not everyone is terrible
but you are
thanks, buddy
I walked into Michaels (A/N: I'm like, low-key giving michaels a promo but they deserve it. I love that store. Its a [don't cry,] craft store) to get stuff for my mom, and for myself.
I grabbed a couple plain white t shirts and some clothing paint. I grabbed a bunch of paints and canvasses. I got some stuff that makes paints that you like pour onto the canvas. It's something my mom has been wanting to try out but we aren't the richest people on planet Earth so she doesn't have a ton of money to buy this stuff.
I grabbed a kit with markers and colored pencils and pens.
I got up to the front and paid. I really hope my mom likes the paints I got her.
I walked back home and walked in the front door.
When I walked in, my mom was at the front door
"Where were you?" she asked in sign language
"Michaels" I spoke. She talks to me in sign and I talk back in...voice?
"why?" she asked
"I wanted craft stuff" I said
"And why didn't you tell me?"
"I did. You didn't hear. And I KNOW i said it loudly" I said
"Okay. But you're only 16, should you be going out that far alone?" my mom asked
But I knew what she meant. She meant "you're deaf. should you go out AT ALL"
"I'm fine, aren't I? It's like, 10 minutes away. Plus I met a nice guy" I said
"Hearing?" she asked
"Yes, hearing. But he was really nice" I said
"He doesn't even sign, don't get too close" my mom warned
"He doesn't HAVE to sign!" I said, possibly too loud.
"But he can't understand you, can he?" She asked
"Mother, I speak english. Yes, he can understand me" I said
"Sorry. He was nice?" she asked
"Yes" I said
"Does he know?" she asked
"Yes." I said
"He asked questions?" she asked
"They weren't offensive. He chose his words carefully" I said
"Sounds nice" she said
"very" I said, walking up to my room.
I wrapped my mom's presents and then texted Josh
