MarkiMoo

I walk away but Seán grabs my hand looking me in my eyes. 'You should get the Implant..'

We decided to get some sleep after that. At least I hope Seán did.
I, on the other hand, couldn't help but to stay awake thinking through the pros and cons of getting a Cochlear Implant..

I could possibly hear and I could live a somewhat normal life but wouldn't it be like starting over..? I don't know any hearing words and I would have to pay a lot for just the surgery and the upkeeping of it.

I sigh rolling over to grab my charging phone and message Mark back. It was late reply and I wasn't even sure if he would be up but he would respond when he could.
You: yeah, we can meet up. wherever you'd like.
Sending the message and setting the phone down, I rolled over and  attempted to get some sleep.

Seán left before I woke up for school. He left a note saying he needed to get videos up and that he's message me after school.

I smiled at the note and got myself ready, hopping in the car and riding to school.

I sat in class attempting the research project when Mark had messaged me. I shut the flash off and opened the message.

Mark: The park when your free? I'm shooting videos so I'm there all day.
I smiled messaging back.
You: Ooh~ Will I be in one??
Mark: If you'd like :P

I laugh to myself and agreed to seeing Mark after school and return to my work.

I noticed Mark by the playground swinging on the swings and holding a small camera. I pulled my car around so I could be behind him and surprise him.

As I got out and slowly walked to the swings, Mark turned his head my way making me stop in my tracks. 'Hey!' He waved smiling. I wave back disappointed.

I join him at a swing and turn to him, 'How did you know I was behind you?'
'I heard the gravel.' He smiled pointing to his ears. 'You also were laughing quietly.'

I wave him off, frustrated that sound was what gave me away.
'You wanted to talk?'

Mark nodded shutting the camera and setting it carefully on the ground. 'I wanted to apologise again for what happened at the Bar..'

'Its fine.. Friends fight right?'

I watched Mark chuckle and place his head into his hands.
'Sure call it that.'

I waited until his head popped up again, his eyes were somewhat watery and his faced flushed.
'What happened between you too?
Your videos made it seem like you were best friends and that night before it you seemed like it.'

Mark smiled slightly, 'Yeah.. we were friends.. Best of them actually.. I was stupid though. And I guess I lost him..'

'How were you stupid?'

'Drinking.' he said simply, his hands clenched as he was thinking back.

'But you told me you couldn't drink?' I question. He sighed, tired of the questions now.
'I could drink. I just can't now because-' His signing was very matter of fact but he stopped suddenly. Maybe because if was me or maybe because it hurt..

'Because I almost died.' Mark looked at the ground away from my view. 'I was stupid... And I lost my best friend because of it.'

I placed my hand on his shoulder rubbing at it.
They both seemed so hurt at this event..
But they enjoyed each other's company.

I tapped Mark with the hand I had on his shoulder. When he looked over I smiled at him.
'I got a plan.'
