It's Complicated Chapter Forty One
Lila's POV
It was the end of the week and I was going to Troy's house with Ella and Troy. I was excited. I wanted to see him pop the question. I was also very nervous. I am new with this whole deaf stuff so I am confused when to sign, when to talk, or both!
I was sitting on the plane looking out window.
"How much longer till we land," I asked excited.
"Say that again," Ella sinabi confused.
"Sorry, when are we landing," I asked again.
"Oh, it will be soon," she stated, "why?"
"I just want to text Jasper," I said, "he is my best friend!"
"Are you sure he is not your boyfriend," Troy asked, "you two hang out a lot!"
"Positive, it would be weird and wrong to live with my boyfriend," I said.
"It would not be wrong when you are adopted sa pamamagitan ng them," Ella stated.
"That is true," I said, "so what are we doing first," I asked.
"We will go to Troy's parents house to eat hapunan and to hangout. Then we will go to my apartment and just hangout together," Ella said.
"Oh, cool," I said, "that sounds like fun. Thank you two so much for letting me come with you!"
"It is not a problem," Troy said, "I am happy you feel up to it!"
"I am excited to meet your family," I said, "a normal family!"
"The Cullens are normal," Ella said.
"No, not really," I said, "all the kids are adopted."
"So, what is wrong with that," Troy asked confused.
"Nothing, it is just weird how they do not look anything alike," I shrugged.
"You never looked anything like Jake and I," Ella said.
"True," I agreed.
"Lila, why don't you go change into your clothes you bought," Ella said, "it is going to be hot in Florida!"
"Okay," I said, "I cannot wait for warm weather!"
I grabbed my bag from under my feet and went to the tiny bathroom on the plan. There was not much room in here to change. It was okay clean. I mean it was clean looking but I just knew it was not.
I did not know what we would be doing first so I went ahead fixed my make up and hair.
"Could you not hear me banging on the door to hurry up," a man sinabi rudely.
"No, I could not," I said, "I am deaf! If I would have heard you I would have hurried!"
"Still no excuses," he sinabi angrily.
"Is there a problem here," Troy asked as he walked up.
"Not now," the man sinabi quickly and went inside.
"Are you okay," Troy asked me.
"Yeah, I just could not hear," I smirked.
"It is alright; that guy could have waited a little madami time," he laughed.
"Yep, I am going to go sit back down," I said.
"Okay," he said.
"Hey Lila, you look pretty," Ella sinabi as I sat back down.
"Thank you," I smiled, "I took to long though and apparently, there was a man banging on the door. But, I could not hear him!"
"It alright, he will be okay," Ella said.
"What are we doing first when we get to Florida," I asked excited.
"If you do not mind Troy and I have to go to class and then we can go get food," she said.
"Oh okay," I said, "that is fine. But, where would I go?"
"Hopefully, you can come to class with us," she sinabi as Troy came back.
"I doubt that will fly with Mrs. Santos," Troy said.
"It's not like Lila is wanting to still our dances," Ella sinabi as she turned away from me.
This was the hard part. When people were speaking and not facing me, I could not hear a word they were saying.
"What did you say, Ella," I asked.
"Sorry," she sinabi apologetic, "maybe if your quiet she will let you stay!"
"Deaf people are louder than the hearing," I stated.
"What," she asked kind of laughing.
"It is true," I sinabi as I nodded my head.
"Mommy, mommy, she talks funny," some little kid sinabi as she peaked over the seat.
"Apologize Maggie," the woman said.
"I sowwie," the little girl said.
I smiled at her since I did not want scare her.
I opened the cover to the window and peered out it. It was amazing being up this high. The clouds looked so fluffy. I just wanted to eat them. The sun was setting which caused it to be pretty right now. Florida sunsets are always pretty. Or the pictures I have seen of them.
Ella tapped me on the shoulder. When in looked over a very mean looking attendant was staring at me.
"Sorry, she does not have good hearing," Troy said.
"For the last time fasten your seatbelt," the lady sinabi demanding.
"Sorry, I am deaf," I sinabi as it made me feel bad.
As she walked away her lips were moving. It was no telling what she had mumbled under her breath.
I slumped down in the upuan and crossed my arms.
"You okay Lila," Troy sinabi as he leaned over Ella.
He was turning out to be one of the best almost brother-in-law ever! Hopefully, he would not turn like Jacob!
"People do not get it," I sinabi rather fast, "the deaf are so much nicer than hearing people!"
"What," Ella asked confused.
"Sorry! Deaf people are a lot nicer than hearing people," I sinabi again.
I had a feeling I would be repeating myself for a very long time.
"Cool," they sinabi at the same time.
"Does this mean we are landing soon," I asked excited.
"Yes it does," Ella said, I cannot wait to sleep in my own bed!"
"Where am I sleeping," I asked curiously.
"Oh, I did not think about that," Ella said.
"She could stay at the house with my parents and I," Troy said.
"How do you feel about that," Ella asked.
"Sure, Troy is practically family to me," I said.
"What did you say," Ella asked.
"Never mind," I said.
"Okay, sorry" she said.
"It is not your fault that you cannot understand me," I said.
The plane landed and we were soon off the get out luggage. After Troy's parents came and picked us up.
As we got in the car, everyone was talking really fast and kind of soft. So, I retreated to my phone and decided to video chat Jasper.
"Jasper, can you see me," I signed.
"Yes, how are you doing," he asked excited, "how was the flight?!"
"I am fine; although, I cannot understand anyone right now. Ugh the flight!" I signed laughing.
"What is happening? Who are you with," Jasper asked sa pamamagitan ng signing.
"I am in a mini van fully of Troy's family and I cannot understand anyone talking. So, I decided to call my best friend," I signed, "the flight was okay. I went to the bathroom to changed into my Florida outfit since it is warm here. After that I walked out and guy was mad at me for taking so long! I told him sorry and I would have hurried if I had heard him! And then some little kid told their mommy that I talked weird and then the flight attendant got mad at me because I did not hear her telling me to put on my seatbelt or whatever it is call!"
"Oh wow!" Jasper signed, "but you signed hurry and flight wrong. Sorry to tell you that! But you sound like you are having an awful time!"
"Really, thanks! It is not that bad," I signed, "Troy and Ella have been so nice to me! Troy is going to propose to Ella while I am down here!!"
"No way, that is great," he sighed with a sarcastic look on his face.
"What do you want me to come back tahanan crying," I asked sa pamamagitan ng signing.
"No, I just do not want you loving that place madami than here," he signed.
"Lila," Troy sinabi as he tapped my knee.
"Hold on, Jasper," I signed.
"Yes," I signed.
"Oops, sorry," I sinabi as I corrected myself.
"We are here at the house," he said.
"Thanks," I said.
"Jasper, I have to go," I signed sadly.
"Oh, have fun, bye," he signed.
"Bye, you have some fun while I am gone," I signed.
"No promises," he signed and the ended the call.
Well that made me a bit depressed. I did not have long to sit there before I had to get my luggage and get moving!
