This silence is deafening

by Robsten96

Edward just wants to be like everyone else and hear the world around him but his disability restricts him from this, Bella is a glass half-full kinda girl and wants to show Edward that there is more to him than his disability.

I'm leaning over the cutest guy I have ever seen, I know that sounds bad but I'm not a stalker I just want to know the guy.

He opens his eyes and I met with the greenest eyes I have ever seen in my life, they're like a color you would find in a crayon box.

"Hi, I'm Bella. I'm sorry I was just standing over you but I thought you were pretty cute so I came over here to introduce myself."

He looks up at me genuinely confused and I wonder what I did wrong but it is then I realise he can't hear me he is deaf.

I reach into my pocket and pull out my phone and write a quick text.

*Hi I'm Bella. I'm sorry about before I had no idea and I'm sorry for just standing over you*

I pass the phone over to him and he starts typing, when he is finished he passes the phone back to me and I let out an embarrassingly loud laugh.

*Nice to meet you Bella, I'm Edward and its ok I don't mind having a stalker*

"Bella!" Charlie hollers.

I quickly type out a text.

*Number?*

Edward places his number in my phone and then hands it back to me.

I wave goodbye and then quickly run over to Charlie.
