It's Complicated Chapter Forty
Jasper's POV
I tapped Lila on the shoulder and she would not turn around. So, I tapped her on the shoulder again.
"What," she asked angry.
"I'm sorry," I signed.
"I don't care; I want to know," she sinabi as I could hear her clearly which meant she was yelling.
Lila would not sign when she was mad and it made it harder for me to read her lips.
"No, you will not know," I signed.
"Can you not talk; you use to talk all the time before I learned some sign language," she yelled.
"Sure, I am sorry, Lila," I said.
She looked at me confused and just started sobbing. I sat on her kama and wrapped my arms around her. She really needed a best friend right now. Lila needed a family. I wish that this had never happened to her. She is having such a difficult with tying to read lips. Going from being a hearing person, to barley hearing anything is a big change, and she was trying to cope with it the best she could. I just hope she will have patience when she is trying to communicate with hearing people susunod week. That will be stressful. She can talk pretty good. I mean it sounds a little different but not too bad! I just hope she can get comfortable with how she is now.
Lila could not stop herself from crying. She was going to make herself sick.
"Lila, please calm down. You are making yourself sick," I sinabi close to her ear so she could hear me and I wouldn't have to yell.
Lila wrapped her arms around me and it kind of threw me off balance. Thankfully the kama was sitting up so I just leaned against that.
A few minutos later mom and dad came in the room. Mom had a bag in her hands so, I guess Lila was really going to our house today.
"Is she asleep," I signed.
"Yes, has she been crying," mom signed curiously.
"She has," I signed sadly.
"Why," dad asked signing.
"Because we got into a fight," I signed, "she wants to know how she Nawawala her hearing but every time I even think about it, it makes me so mad. It is too awful to remember. Lila also got mad at me because I would only sign and not talk. So, when I did start talking, she could not hear me, and Lila got really upset!"
"Awe, the poor girl," mom sinabi signing.
"You are going to have to tell her," dad added signing, " she has a right to know what happened to her!"
I tapped Lila on the back and she jumped.
"Sorry, I did not mean to scare you," I signed, "mom bought you some clothes to go tahanan in!"
"It's alright; okay," she signed.
You could just tell Lila was not herself.
Dad took her IV out and we left the room so she could get dressed.
"Dad, what did Ella talk to you about," I asked signing.
"She was wanting to know about her living arrangements," dad signed, "if Lila was going to come live with her or stay here."
"And she is staying right," I signed, "right?!"
"Jasper, that is not up to us to decide," mom signed.
"But she has too! She is my only deaf friend here," I signed.
"I know sweetheart but that is not our decision," mom signed and hugged me, "I will to check on her."
"Son, whatever happens will happen. It may not be the best thing for you. But, it might be best for her," dad signed.
"Being with Lila who is like me, makes me so happy," I signed to dad, "I finally have a friend who I can be myself around and I pag-ibig it!"
"I know Jasper, and I'm sorry," dad signed.
"Jasper, want to go get all my stuff," Lila signed when she came out of her room.
"Yeah, what about Billy," I asked signing as she had a confused look on her face, "never mind! We can!"
I was going to try and use madami common words that she might know.
"Okay, cool," she signed and she shrugged.
"Jasper, here is the the keys to the car; your dad gets off in a few minutes. I will ride with him," Mom sinabi and signed at the same time.
"Okay, thanks," I signed, "ready?"
"Yeah," she sinabi and tried to sign, "how do you sign and drive?"
"It's not that easy and it takes practice," I signed.
"Wait, what," she asked confused, "what is this?!"
"E-A-S-Y," I finger spelled as she hit her hand to her head.
"duh me," she signed and smiled.
We got to Billy's house and he was not home. But, Ella and Troy were there. Which was going to make it that much harder for Lila to communicate.
"Hey Lila, uy Jasper," Ella sinabi as we walked through the door.
"Hey, I did not know you two were going to be here," Lila said.
"We are," Troy said, "we thought you could use some help packing."
"Oh you two don't have to help," Lila sinabi kindly.
"You have me! You don't need them," I signed.
"Jasper, stop," Lila signed, "that wasn't very nice!"
"Sorry, I don't want you to ilipat away with them," I signed.
"Wait, you want me to," she asked out loud.
"No, I don't," I said, "I want you to be here with me and my family. Our family!"
"I am not leaving Jasper. But, I would like to get to know Tory's side of the family," Lila stated.
"Jasper, we would never take Lila away from you," Ella said.
"Thank you, now lets get you packing," I said.
With the four of us, it did not take long to Lila's stuff all packed up. We ended up packing Ella and Troy's car with Lila's stuff too. She had a lot of stuff for such a small room! Hopefully it would got I'm her room now!
