A/N i know NOTHING of the walkimg dead conventions so for this story ill just say they are 3 days.
Day 1 was the panel. Day 2 was getting autographs. Hope was excited but also curious. The more she kept thinking about it the more she felt like Andy tried to talk to her she was so excited she didn't notice at the time but after and Andy left to go back up on stage she thought she felt hot breath near her ear meaning he said something to her but she didn't know what. This deaf thing wasnt new to her but also wasnt old she had been this way for 10years now. When she was 23 when her high school sweet heart tried to kill her. The only time he abused her and he tried to kill her. She had spent 2 months in hospital she still has the scars on her stomach where he had killed their child. When questioned by the police he admitted it he's confessed to it saying that he loved her but they couldnt afford to have a child but she refused to get rid of it.
She pressed charges and he was sentence for 2 life sentences. The only silver lining in the whole thing was one of her cousins was born deaf so..she knew how to read sign language and didnt have to learn any. She always tried to make the best out of the worst.
Her and Laura was in line for the autographs when Andy saw Hopes friends hands moving. He saw Hope smile and laugh saying something with her mouth and then Laura was useing her hands again never once moving her mouth. BINGO now he understood why they didnt go backstage yesterday. "Norman..look..." Andy pointed it out at first Norman didnt understand Andy felt like he had to hit Norman with the bricks. "Shes deaf. Thats why she didnt go backstage yesterday." Norman was quick to call for a break. He went backstage and jumped on his phone quick to try to learn as much sign language as he could in the next 15 minutes. He made sure Lauren sat next to him after asking everyone if they knew ANY ASL finding out she knew a little.
Hope was next Andy signed her picture she said hi and told him her name Andy didnt say anything he felt bad about it but he knew Norman wanted to surprise her by signing hello to her and asking her to come backstage. Andy never saw Norman this excited before. So he went along with it. When it was Norman turn he took the picture she said hi and looked up and he was signing hi
"Whats your name?" He asked her. She looked at him weridly "how do you know im deaf" she said. Norman was taken back her voice was just as beautiful as she was. Norman stared to sign again "I saw you and your....ummm..." He tried again "I saw you and your friend in line talking." Well ok that didnt go so well he said friend by pointing to Laura and line by pointing to the line and talking by moving his mouth. She smiled at the effort he made. "Ummm..." He wrote her a note and then signed the picture she went to Lauren next.
"OMG..did Norman just talk to you in sign" Laura signed. "Well he tried to anyways Hope said. She looked at the note it read.
"Andy put you and Lauras name on the backstage pass for this weekend he tried to tell you yesterday but we didnt know. I really wish you and your friend will join us for a lunch (psst we eat at noon) we can talk and get to know eachother. Im sorry in advance about my horrible signing. Hope to c u soon Love Norman"
Hope smiled about a boy NO a man for the first time in a long time.
