Noah's Pov
I can't hear… I can't hear anyone… I-I won't be able to do a lot of things anymore. My house is gone… What I hear are the whispers inside my head. You're useless. Go away. You don't belong here. We hate you. That last one hurt.
We hate you. Its kept repeating. We hate you. Its like a broken record. We hate you. I couldn't take it. The world became silent for me. I let it all go. I cried and cried and cried until no more tears fell. The bed's sheets were stained gray. I looked at Shiro and then at the doctors. They were talking about something. I saw them laughing.
I turned to look at Shiro. He was yelling at them. They were mocking him. I just couldn't make out what they were saying. Wait… I could hear Shiro… I can hear something! Just.. Shiro… Only.. Shiro…
Useless. The word popped into my head again. Useless. It drives me insane. Useless. The terms correct. I am useless. What use am I? I whip my servants. I drive people to do things. I lock people up. I'm nothing but a monster. A big, scary, monster.
Stupid. Idiot. Child. I've had enough of it. Child. I'm not a child anymore… I've gone through things most adults haven't...Can't the world give me a break?
I guess not.
I held in the pain. The doctors handed me a sheet. I looked at it. "Sign Language for the Deaf" It was at that point I wanted to throw myself. I had to use my hands to talk. No more hearing my voice. Only the others could hear it. I can't sing anymore. I can't play violin. Everything. How do I control? How do I.. do anything? I started to cough real bad, I used my hand to try to muffle the sound. I wanted to get out of the place. I stared around the room for a bit. White walls. White furniture. White floors. White everything. Their clothes. The lamps. My clothes. I got up. Their faces turned to me. "I want to go now."
"Princess! We don't have anywhere to go!" His voice. It pierced through my ears, into my brain. His voice, concerned, worried. The only one who has ever… felt for me. The only one I could hear.
