It's Complicated Chapter Sixty Four
Jasper and I left for school a day early. I wasn't allowed to skip anymore days. They said I had skipped to much. I agreed with them; I had skipped a lot of school during this past year.
I was nervous about going back to school. I knew they would stare and talk about me. I would be the center of attention. There would probably be a load of gossip going around the school which didn't matter to me. Let then think what they wanted. I just hope people will leave me alone and let me be. Hopefully, no one will pry but I have a feeling Scotty will be the exception to that. The worst thing I could think about happening, was that I would be made fun of or getting bullied for how I look. I could easily tune everything out. I could close my eyes or not read their signs.
We got to school. I was lucky that my leathers covered up all my bruising. I didn't have to take them off until I got to my room.
"Just breathe," Jasper signed as we got off our bikes.
I took off my helmet while Jasper and I walked towards the school dorms.
"What do you want to do," I asked signing.
"First, I'm going to go out my leathers in my room and then find the guys," he signed.
"Okay, can I put my leathers in your room so I don't have to walk all the way to my room," I sighed.
"Sure," he shrugged, "are you going to be okay?"
"I guess so. I just don't want to leave your side," I signed trying to not look at him.
"Are you scared is that why you don't want to leave my side," Jasper asked.
"No; Jacob is gone. I can't be afraid anymore. Jasper, you are my best friend. I just want to spend every minute I can with you," I signed as he cut me off.
"Hey! You two are back," Scotty signed.
"Hey man," Jasper signed.
"Ready for some basketball," Scotty signed.
"Yeah, let's go," Jasper signed.
It seemed as if I was a fly on the wall. They both completely ignored me. I didn't even get to finish what I wanted to say. Maybe I'll have another chance.
I did what I did best. I kept quite and followed them.
We ended up in the gym with some other people. There was a lot more people here than what I was expecting.
I laid my helmet down on the bleachers and unzipped my jacket. It was hot in here and I would only get hotter if I kept my leathers on. Some of the guys had already noticed my black eye. Their stares continued as I took my leathers off. I could have swore their eyes were getting bigger when they saw the hand print bruises on my neck.
"What happened to her," one guy signed.
I stopped paying attention and sat down. I pulled my phone out to see I had some messages from Esme.
[b][i]Good news! They called about your hearing aides and they are ready for pick up. I will go get them tomorrow and bring them to you! See you tomorrow :)[b/][i/]
"Jasper! Esme is bringing me my hearing aides tomorrow," I signed happily.
Jasper didn't even notice I had been signing to him. Oh well, he was busy with his friends. But I was excited! I couldn't believe they had come in so fast.
Thankfully, Jasper was taking a break from basketball and came to sit down.
"Having fun," I asked.
"Yeah," he signed.
"Esme said that she is picking up my hearing aides tomorrow and would bring them to me," I signed.
"That's good news," he signed.
"Are you having fun just sitting here," Scotty asked.
"Yeah, I guess so," I said.
"Why don't you change and okay with us," Jasper suggested.
"Okay, I guess I can," I signed.
I got up and grabbed my helmet and jacket. I made my way to my room and Jasper started followed me.
"Don't you wanna play while you wait on me," I asked.
"Nah, I need a break," he singed.
"Okay," I signed.
"I figured we could finish our conversation from earlier," he signed.
"Oh okay," I signed and then unlocked my bedroom door.
"So, what were you saying," Jasper asked.
"You're my best friend and I just want to spend every minute I can with you," I signed.
"You're my best friend too," he signed.
I sat down on my bed and looked at him.
"What's wrong," he asked as he sat down beside me.
"Nothing," I signed.
"Are you sure you're not scared," he signed concerned.
"I'm sure," I signed, "Jasper, ever since I went Deaf my feeling a for you have changed."
"Are you saying what I think you are," he asked.
"I guess so," I signed laughing, "I really like you. You have always been there for me through everything that has happened in the past year!"
Jasper just looked at me and smiled.
I guess with Jasper smiling that is a good thing. All the sudden he pulls me close and kisses me. I couldn't help but melt into his arms. It was perfect.
"I hope you meant that kind of change," Jasper signed when he pulled away.
"I did," I signed blushing.
"Good," he sighed.
He leaned in and kissed me again.
Everything felt different all the sudden. It was like the world had been lifted off my shoulders. I didn't have to live in fear or be scared to be happy. I could finally live without having to worry if Jake was behind me, waiting to catch me off guard. But there was nothing to worry about any more!
"Are you okay," Jasper signed.
"I couldn't be happier," I sighed smiling.
I did something I never thought I would. I pulled Jasper close and have him a kiss.
Everything felt right. It was one of the best feelings ever!
But now my life isn't complicated anymore. I could finally live without fear. I could live like I use to, before I was 16. I closed that door in my life and I didn't plan on returning to it ever again.
