Koe no Katachi(A Slient Voice)

Chapter 12

Ishida Shouya POV:
As the bell rang to signal the end of school I quickly grabbed my bag out of my locker and walked home. As I was walking home, I heard my phone 'Ringing'. I picked up and said "Yes hello, ..mum I'm coming"

"No don't come home yet, can you go to the supermarket and buy a box of eggs for me," mum said.

I agreed and hanged up. I changed my route to go to the nearby store, the store was just 200 meters from school so it didn't take me long to arrive at the storefront. From the window, I couldn't see much of the contents of the store, but as I went inside I noticed a huge crowd gathered around an aisle, I ignored them and walked to the aisle that contained the eggs. I found the eggs, but as I was about to come out I heard "DEAF!!!". The word stunned me into place and my mind reeled back to that dream. Nishimiya, no it can't be true. I turned left to see what was going on but I couldn't see anything. The crowd was so thick, I had to ram in my shoulder several times before the crowd parted slightly. I went into space and saw Nishimiya with her mum. Nishimiya faces downcast but it couldn't mask the red that was evident on her left cheek. Her mum grabbed her arm and move towards the exit. I shouted her name don't tell me this dream came true "NISHIMIYA!!!" my arm raised up in order to grab her. I dropped the eggs and ran to the exit but I could hear the people laughing. I turned around and walked up towards the guy, my hands were fisted and I could feel the heat on my face, there was no word that could describe the anger I was feeling. "DON'T YOU DARE CALL HER DEAF" I shouted, I grabbed the guys collar and slammed him against the wall. I half of the time I was not aware of what I was doing but I saw a glint of the blue from the corner of my eyes, and then someone shouted: "WHAT IS GOING ON?". Someone pulled me off the guy, I wiped my sweat from my face and found myself staring at a policeman. The policemen looked toward the man and grabbed his arm behind his back. "Why are you guys taking me, do you know what just happened to me this young boy slapped me multiple times and it didn't stop until you guys came, thank goodness" he pointed at me and then he begged the policemen to help him. I was shocked everyone was staring at me but the blind girl shouted back "Stop lying, officer I'm telling you the truth" "Tell us what happened" said the policemen "This man bullied me, he was about to slap me but the girl that left saved me and she got slapped instead. She started to cried I reeled back when I saw her. I was about to get out of the supermarket to visit Nishimiya home to see if she was okay. But I heard the policemen shout "Hey, stay where you are". As soon as I heard this I had no idea what was going. I turned towards the exit but two policemen came and took me I couldn't say anything but at least Nishimiya is safe. As we went out of the supermarket and went into the police car I was scared I have no idea what should do. As I sat down in the police car I was wondering did the policemen also take the man who slapped Nishimiya. A policeman came in and started the car but as soon they start the car I told them about the guy but they ignored me. What kind of situation did I pull myself into?

Nishimiya Shouko POV:
Yuzuru cleaned my face as I stared at the mirror 'DEAF!' those words kept flowing through my mind. Yuzuru signed through the mirror "You are okay sis don't worry" , she smiled and I tried to smile and turned around to hug because I needed some comfort. I came out of the bathroom and saw mum "SHOU- CHAN YOU WERE NOT INVOLVED IN THEIR SITUATION AND NOW YOU MADE ME EMBARRASSED BECAUSE I ALSO SLAPPED HIM BACK" as mum yelled, I knew it was all my fault. I tried so hard to say 'I'm sorry' but I couldn't just then I saw mum pick up a phone, I don't know who was it but I saw mum in shock and I turned to Yuzuru to ask what is going on but she was also shocked. I moved to sign to Yuzuru "What's going on?" but Yuzuru signed "Umm....It's nothing" but mum said "Shou- chan you stay home we will be back" as I followed them, I saw Yuzuru sign to me "We'll be back, wait here sis" as the door closed. But where are they going but? I opened the door and went out of the apartment and saw our car drive off but I followed them. I ran as fast as I could without them noticing. 20 minutes later............ha haha I started to sweat as I turned to see the next building and saw the sign on the board I was surprised why are they here at the police station as I rushed in and tried to spot Mum and Yuzuru I felt scared why are they here. I turned right and was shocked Mum and Yuzuru were here and talking with the police officer as I walked closely suddenly I saw something familiar inside the cage as I looked closely to confirm............ Ishida, I looked up. He was surprised obviously shocked but......what is going on. I moved forward, Yuzuru and mum turned to face me. I saw Yuzuru sign "Sis, what are you doing here?" but I ignored and signed as faster as I can "Why....what is Ishida doing here?" I felt like I'm about to cry but Yuzuru "I will explain it later go back to home" I ignored her and rushed to Ishida as soon I went I rushed to sign him and said 'Why are you here? what's going on?.'
