Thanks to my reviewers and readers for the continued support and I hope to keep pleasing you!

I woke up and blinked as something annoying kept sounding in my ears. I opened my eyes confused thinking it was ringing in my ears and realized I was in a hospital bed. I groaned and I saw a flash of blonde pop up. Austin apparently had been sleeping on the couch for who knows how long, but he wasn't the first person I hoped to see. I didn't want to, but I remembered everything and it pained me to see him.

Austin hurried to my side asking me questions in sign language and I ignored him looking down at my body and around for a glimpse of my father. Then to my relief he came strolling in the door with coffee and hurried to my side. I smiled at my dad and Austin got the hint to leave me alone. In fact, he left the room, but only to return with the doctor.

"Ms. Dawson, you seem to be recovering superbly." The doctor signed "Do you remember what happened? What year is it?"

"I was hit by a car after certain events and it's 2012." I signed back.

The doctor nodded and carried on "Some pain is obviously going to be left of course; we had to do surgery because your spleen ruptured from the impact. You will stay here a few days more to make sure everything heals properly and you're lucky that you had two people with you at the time or you might not be here now. I'll just check some things and be out of your hair."

I saw Austin watching anxiously as the doctor examined me here and there. I became annoyed that he wouldn't leave and let me think.

"Could you send the boy away from this room for now? I would prefer a calmer environment." I signed and Austin looked at me dumbfounded as the doctor called a nurse in pulling him away.

I froze and looked at the doctor funny; I could have sworn I had heard his voice. The doctor looked at me and asked if I hurt or something where he needed to know gestures.

"I think I just heard your voice." I said without sign for the first time in a while.

The doctor looked at me stunned "You can hear me, my voice now."

I smiled and replied confidently "Yes. I can hear all the beeping, everything sounds like it used to."

The doctor quickly examined my skull and around the ears "Mr. Dawson, I'd like to do a test to see what's going on, if it's temporary or permanent."

"It's fine with me, I'll go tell Austin." My dad said excitedly.

"No, not yet, I'll tell him when the time is right and maybe not if it goes away again." I replied and my dad quietly agreed though he was most likely protesting in his head.

"Then your mother will like to hear this." My dad hurried off and the doctor followed only to return prepared to take me with his team.

I got a phone call telling me that Ally was okay and that she was asleep now, but I could maybe see her tomorrow. I just hoped she would let me in the room; I never got to tell her that I fired Kayla and got a new translator for her. Ally was the one person I had cared for more than anyone else, but she couldn't see it through everything that recently happened and I was going to prove she was the only one for me.

I had a concert in a day and knew Ally would still be in the hospital, but I concocted a plan. The concert was being aired live so all I had to do was make sure she watched the performance I would do just for her.

(A Day Later)

I had everything arranged and everyone was in on it. I grabbed my favorite guitar as Trish and Dez walked up.

"Are you ready? This performance is very important!" Trish had her "I know something you don't know" smile on.

"I just hope the sign language conveys it well enough." I sighed.

Then Dez nudged me in the side "Dude, you know she can hear now right?"

"What?" I said confused.

"Yeah, the doc said it was a miracle gift or some-gurfgh" Dez cough as Trish elbowed him hard in the rib causing him to double over.

"Hey, keep your mouth shut wackadoodle." Trish ordered and Dez rolled his eyes.

"It's not like she didn't-OUCH!" Dez shouted as Trish stomped on his foot and he hopped around.

"What is Dez trying to say?" I wondered and Trish shrugged.

Trish smacked the back of Dez's head since he was still crouched holding his foot "Way to go, no we have to tell him."

"Tell me what?" I asked.

"She's no longer deaf like Dez said. Ally can hear permanently unless she gets in another accident involving her head then who knows." Trish babbled and I got the answer that was too good to be true, I had to hear it again.

"Dude, go cause it's time." Dez said and I strapped on my guitar walking out on stage.

I spoke to the audience "This last song is for my girlfriend/songwriter if she'll still have me. You see she went deaf after an accident we got in together, then things happened, I hired a translator for her, and today I found out after she had an accident the other day she can hear again. Ally if you're watching like I hope you are, listen clearly to this song. You see we had a disagreement and like I said things happened, so this song conveys kind of what I want to say."

I hoped Ally would listen and hopefully she'd understand. I began to play and the crowd became silent in wonderment of what I was going to sing.

I think the next chapter will be the last, but hopefully it won't be disappointing!
