Im always trying to figure out whats really going on. Always having to fill in the gaps, but never getting all the details. Its like trying to do a jigsaw when I dont even know what the picture is, and Im missing one of the vital middle pieces. How do you know if your friends are talking about you behind your back, or if a boy likes you? They could act innocent, but youd know from the rumours. Youd hear the whispers. But what if you couldnt hear those whispers anymore? What if everything you took for granted was gone? Being a teenager is hard enough. But being a deaf teenager?
