Violet's P.O.V~
Frank didn't want to let go. The nurses in the room pleaded with him to allow them to take Gabi off the machine. In protest he said he didn't want to since it was the only thing keeping his sister alive. They almost called the police because Frank put his hands on a nurse for even suggesting to unhook Gabi from the machine. We've been in the hospital for over two hours because of this. I didn't want to let go either but I didn't want to remember Gabi as a dead body hooked to a machine. I held his hand as he talked to his sister. Of course I was excluded from the conversation (deaf). I stared at the door hoping one of his family members would come even his mother would be nice. I saw a glimpse of two blonde heads, no scratch that four blonde heads. I recognized Amare and Frank's mother but the other two older men I didn't know. Frank and I were the only brunettes. I tapped his shoulder and he looked around and he smiled.
"It's your family Frank," I signed and he nodded and he walked up to them hesitantly and hugged them all as they all cried together. I was the worst at moments like these. At the moments of comfort I tend to become of robot of no emotion. Part of that is no has comforted me a lot. So I stood behind them all twisting my foot back and forth. Finally the huddle of relatives step back and all stare at me blankly and of course Frank's mother starts to open her mouth but instead she walks toward me slowly and my breath hitches she's probably going to smack me for smacking her. I'm wrong again when she wraps her arms around me to hug me. I start to cry because I'm glad someone finally accepted me, especially her. She releases me and holds my face and mouths, "Thank you". I nod smiling as wide as I can.
She stared at her daughter and released my face before laying a hand on Gabi's forehead pushing her hair back slowly. A tear falls and splashes onto Gabi's forehead. I advert my gaze and smile at the rest of Frank's family members. Frank turns to stand next to me and begins to sign and speak at the same time.
"This is Violet," he signs. They're all mesmerized at his excellent signing. I always get reactions like that when I begin to sign as if it was wrong to be deaf as if it was inhuman. They all just smile at us as Frank kisses my cheek causing me to raise my eyebrows at him. I wave though as they speak to each other.
"I'm sorry for your loss," I sign as Frank translates. Deaf people (as far as I know) have manners and then again can be mean on the down low when they want to be. We also love to pretend we know the beat of a song when we can't.
"Violet this is my father," Frank signs as he gestures to the taller, more older, version of him (except with blonde hair) whose tears are barely visible. I don't know where the hell he's been since Gabi has gotten cancer. Then again his love for his daughter never left him, infact it lead him right back to her. Tragedy and love go hand in hand, with love comes tragedy, they both lead your heart to feel something different than both of those feelings. "And this is my brother, Ethan". Ethan had blue eyes instead of Frank's grey ones. He didn't look like the type of person to cry but he did have his jaw clenched. I stook my hand out for him to shake and he stared at my hand before finally holding my hand and bringing me in for a hug. I return the hug. We step back and Frank wraps an arm around me as we all head towards Gabi.
They said prayers, kissed her forehead, but when it came time to actually take her off the machine, Frank wouldn't budge. He smiled, laughed, and then the most strongest person I knew, had finally broke. It was painful to watch as he shoved his father looking as if he was threatening them. I wouldn't dare interfer, Frank needed to vent out his feelings, his feelings had exploded. His mother cried in the background. I had to be dragged outside as the male nurses tried to knock him out with something that came in a syringe. Ethan sat next to me outside of the room with me and we didn't speak to each other until he said slowly for my sake,
