4 Years Later

"Honey, just a few more boxes then we're done", Signed Dad

"About time, unpacking is a nightmare"

"Sweetheart, don't exaggerate", Dad chuckled

"Well, it's true"

" Just get the last few boxes"

"Ok, Dad. Love you"

Who knew that unpacking would be so stressful. Oh wait, I did since four years ago. It's been four years since I've lost my hearing, four years since my mum left us, since I lost my friends, four years since everything fell apart, four years being on our own. Just me and my dad against the world.

................................................................

"Okay dad I got every box that's mine up to my room and unpacked most of it. I just need to set up my desk, and my bed, and a few others. And maybe later paint my room. What are we eating for dinner?"

"Kendall, I was thinking of pizza and a movie."

"Dad, we don't have TV hooked up yet, how we supposed to watch a movie?"

"I called the TV provider once we were in town and gave them our a new address. So honey, they will be here any minute to set up the TV."

"This is why are you on the nominee for the best dad ever", I signed right before I hugged him.

"Kendall, I also called someone to make this house deaf friendly, and they will be here tomorrow to install everything", signed dad. So are you ready to go to school three days"

"More like is the school ready for me" I signed as I watched dad chuckled

"Kendall are you nervous"

"Dad, Of course I am. I am terrified"

"Honey terrified of what"

"I don't know, everything. I'm scared that this town will be just like back home or what used to be home. I'm afraid to be made fun of because I'm deaf. Scared that people leave me again. Everything my work hard for back then was gone back at what we thought was home. I lost my friends, I lost the team and we lost The woman that we called mum. She was the reason I never spoke again. Heck I don't even know if I can speak again, hell I think I forgotten Hell. I'm scared that I will be alone again" I signed with tears flowing down my eyes

"honey it will be scary living in a new town, but we don't know the outcome if we don't try it. Maybe something good come out of this. Maybe everything you just said to be the exact opposite. You might have a good life.    We – we  might have a good life. So don't be scared, don't ever be scared. You won't be alone, because you have me. I promise you won't ever be alone." Dad signed right before he hugged me. And I hugged him back crying even harder.

Maybe Dad is right, it will be scary living in a new town, afraid people judge me because I'm deaf. Maybe this town doesn't judge people for their disabilities. My old coach back at home thought I was useless now that I was deaf, she was afraid that I would get myself hurt for not having all my senses. After four years of practice maybe I'll get myself back on lacrosse team, with a different coach. Maybe I will get new friends, Friends that won't judge that I'm deaf and won't turn their back on me. Maybe I have sleepovers at a friends house, so we can do each other's hair and talk about boys. Maybe I'll get a spot on lacrosse team. Maybe dad might fall in love with someone new. Maybe this is a second chance at a new life. Maybe
