I am so, so happy. I know I said this last chapter, but it is true. You all have no idea how really appreciative I am of all of you, giving me feed back, giving me good words. I have gotten no trolls, and the F&F number keeps growing and I am so happy, I feel like I know what a Youtuber like Jacksepticeye and Markiplier feels like. I really do care about all of my readers, and care that you enjoy what I am writing, because in truth to make other happy is the biggest gift of all :) Please enjoy this chapter!


Another week passed and the teens were indeed seeing what they meant. Danny wouldn't speak verbally, but he would write it out, mouth it, point to something to explain it. They worked on English, but they were positive he either didn't know English… Or…

"You're mute." Sam finally said, closing her book. Danny cocked his head at her, confused. She repeated herself, "You're a mute."

Danny seemed surprised, and wrote out on a piece of paper. "It took you two weeks to figure this out?"

"Huh?" Tucker said. He looked to Danny and spoke as well. "What else were we supposed to think, dude? I mean, you never talk to anyone. We all thought you were just a quiet type."

Danny cocked his head and wrote "Can you repeat that? I didn't catch it."

Sam looked at him for a long moment, confused. "You didn't catch that? That was loud-" She paused, then slowly, she lifted her hands and began to use sign language. "You're deaf too, aren't you."

Slowly, a smile spread across Danny's lips. It wasn't sad, it was more relieved. "Yes. I am. I was almost blind, but the doctors were able to save my eyesight before I lost it. I'm deaf and mute from a car crash when I was about four years old. I was the only one hurt, because I was the only one in the car."

Sam repeated everything Danny said to Tucker, who had yet to learn sign language. Danny told his story, of how when he was younger he had been sitting inside the car while his dad pumped gas and his mom and sister went inside to go get a treat for each of them. Before they all knew what happened, their vehicle was suddenly rear ended by another car that had no driver. Since they had been parked, they had unbuckled Danny to stretch his little legs. The hit caused massive damage to the car and it was a miracle he survived with eyesight, but he did looks his voice and hearing.

"So yeah… That's it." Danny signed, finishing his life story.

Tucker and Sam sat dumbstruck. "Wow…" Sam said. "Now I feel really, really guilty…" She muttered. Danny rolled his eyes. "Wait, I used Sign Language to my parents a while ago. Why didn't you notice then?"

Sam, smiling shyly signed "Oh, I learned a few days ago… My cousins deaf as well... " She paused and then slapped her self on the back on the head "Wow, Manson. Good job! You're cousin's deaf, and you don't even notice when someone else is! Guilt is risin' quick…" She bowed her head.

Danny smiled softly and reached over, hooked his crooked finger under her chin and made her look at him before signing.

"Don't be. I've been this way for a while. Only the teachers really ever bothered to know. Now you two! Personally, I'm happy. I've made some friends!"


Two months later, Danny was happier than ever, but now everyone was demanding that he spoke to them. They were all idiots, not realizing that with Tucker (who finally learned Sign Language about a month prior) and Sam using Sign Language to him when they "talked" that he is deaf/mute.

"Come on, Fen-turd!" Dash yelled, suddenly slamming Danny's body into the lockers. "Say something to me!"

"Leave me alone!" Danny signed, angrily.

"What was that?" Dash demanded, pushing Danny once more. It happened a few more times before finally, Danny just ducked under him and ran down the hall. Not his smartest move. He knew Dash would be after him for a while now.

He was ready for it.


I think this was a bit hecktic, but I personally like it. This story will be Sam/Danny and I am going to ENJOY writing it :D
