The Deaf Girl Can Talk

You hear that?

On our way home my mom looks at me and hands me a pen and pad. I look up up to see everyone of them has one. I write down "what do I do". She frowns and looks over at dad. Then she starts to write something down. She passes it back to me and it says " your gonna have to learn sighn language or something because I can't think of any thing else for ya. When we get home. I feel like I've been torn in half by depression and doubt. I right down that I need to take a walk on my pad and hand it to my dad,he nods okay. I start to walk down the street and right around the corner and run right into this boy. I look up at panicked,he mouths its all good are you alright. I nod. And he mouths what is your name I look down at my pad and blush a little then write down my name. He mouths "can you talk"? I wrote no and run off and I will never forget that day
