'Can you please place these on the dinner table?' Y/N's mom signed to her as she put the pile of plates in front of her, on the kitchen counter.

Y/N nodded in agreement before taking the pile of plates and turning around to go to the living room.

Before turning the corner, Y/N jiggled the plates a little to indicate that she was there.
This wasn't so much for Y/N, more for anyone about to turn the corner. Y/N was extremely quiet in everything she did; in the way she moved, picked things up, even the way she turned a page of a book.

You could easily forget that she was in the same room as you sometimes.

Arriving in the living room, she carefully placed the plates on the dining table.
She suddenly felt a quick and light 4 taps on her shoulder blade.

Y/N smiled, instantly knowing who it was.

Y/N and her little sister agreed years ago on how her little sister would signal she was behind her. As Y/N was deaf, it was a safety thing for her so that she knew who was behind her.

Her mother's was 3 slow taps on her left shoulder and her dad's was the hand placed on the right shoulder and giving that shoulder a quick two squeeze.

When Y/N turned around she was met by her smiling sister and she couldn't help but reciprocate her contagious smile.

'Shall I get the cutlery?' Her sister signed to Y/N, as she offered to minimize the trips to the kitchen for Y/N.

Y/N sister, Anastasia, had truly been fantastic and such a solid shoulder for Y/N over the years. At a very early age, she understood that Y/N was different.
When their parents had sat her down and explained everything to her, her first reaction was to insist on learning sign language so that she could communicate with her sister.
Since then, they both have been inseparable.

They had spent hours together teaching each other.
Y/N would help her practice her signing. In return Anastasia taught her how to read lips.

Y/N was home schooled, her parents thought it would be a safer environment in which to learn and her mother would teach her during day time.

Y/N thoroughly enjoyed learning, she was just missing the socializing. She did make friends with the other people who were also deaf and impaired, which she had met through some events, but it wasn't the same. She never really went to parties, or concerts, or anything exciting that other people her age would usually go to.

Anastasia had always sensed that and always tried her best to invite Y/N out to movies as a start.
For Y/N, that was the wildest thing she had ever gone to, as sad as it may sound.

Recently, Anastasia had decided to introduce Y/N to the world of music, more specifically to her favourite artist, a girl called Ariana Grande.

Y/N was very sceptic at first as it heavily relied on you having the ability to hear.

When Anastasia had first put the headphones around Y/N's ears, she felt uneasy as to what the outcome of all this would be.
Then, as the music started playing, Y/N could feel the bass, the audio patterns switch and it felt magical. It was the closest she had ever come to hearing and she cried.

Today, Y/N had a special surprise for her sister and she was waiting for her to come back from getting the cutlery.  Y/N checked her pockets and found two pieces of papers which were confirmation of a ticket purchase to go see Ariana Grande together, front row with a meet and greet.
She could not wait to show them to her sister.
