beautiful silence - miguel diaz

I decided I'ma make this. I'm bored so it's kinda short.

And I'm sick so it's really bad.

It's not accurate but... Just yeah, whatever.

--------

Since I was little I was never able to hear noise and I wanted to. So my parents bought me hearing aids. They work well. Not bad, not good.

Ever since then I was able to hear the wonders of the world.

Until now.

"Yo' deaf girl, why you so quiet?" asks the guy bullying me.

Oh yeah, I forgot to say, I'm mute too.

I turn around to the other side.

"Woah. What's that on your ears?" the guy asks.

He pulls off my hearing aids and drops it on the ground to smash it.

Complete silence.

I couldn't hear anything. Everyone was moving their mouths but nothing came out. I couldn't hear the guy bullying me. I couldn't hear the guys at the back of him laughing. It was just silence.

I ran to the washroom. I went into a stall and cried.

I was being bullied by something I can't control.

-Later that night-

I went outside to the park. No one was here to judge me. Until a guy with black hair and a bit of a Spanish descent came. His hair reached to his ears and I think he was alone. I get off the swing and run past him. I was lucky to be deaf so I couldn't hear him.

I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned to see the Ecuadorian boy (or at least I think...) standing behind me. He moved his mouth and nothing came to me.

So in sign language I said, "I am deaf."

He just looks at me oddly. He probably didn't know sign language.

I just ran away. Maybe he'll come back another day, when I'm not deaf.
