Chapter 6

I put up a finger meaning one minute and went out the door and downstairs,I saw my mom on the couch so Sidney must be in the kitchen or something.

"Hey honey what's going on you looked confuse,I know you hate confusions". My mom snickered.

"What's wrong with Casey,he said his ears are broken?". ask.

"Malik,Casey is deaf".She sighed

I wasn't expecting that,well Dale told me already but he doesn't seem deaf.....now I think about,you have to touch him to get his attention,he read your lips,he still talks in his baby ways,he became deaf when he was seven!,God I'm so stupid.

I ran back upstairs to see a crying Casey hugging a pillow.I hurried over to him,my heart ache to see him like this.His eyes were just filled with sadness.I couldn't help but pulled him into my lap and hug him tight,making him cry into my chest.His hands clutching on to my shirt.I don't care if this looks gay right now to have a guy in my lap but it's Casey and he's crying.

"Why did you come back?" He ask

I pulled him up so he was looking at me.

"Why wouldn't I?"

"I can't hear,you don't want to be friends now you know". His eyes were filling with tears again.

"I do want to be friends,that does not mean we can't be friends Casey". I said slow for him to read my lips.

A smile appeared on his lips and I smile too.

"Watch tv?".He ask and I nod.

He jump off the bed and went over to his tv,turning it on.I wonder how does he watch tv and can't hear but I saw when the readings were at the bottom.He came back over to me,smiling and I took his hands,he blush a little but I didn't mind him blushing,he was my friend and for some reason I feel like I'm his protector.

I had fun with Casey yesterday,just watching tv with him cuddling up against me.I had no problem with it,in fact I laid him down on my chest when he fell asleep,he seems like the kind that cuddles a lot and stick to you like glue.It didn't bother me that he was deaf and I had to talk slow,it was kind of nice....well that he talk so cute and how he pout when I talked too fast.I told Sidney that I would be carrying Casey to school today.Forget about Apple.

Speaking of the devil.My phone rang.

"Yea" .I sighed

"You better be here early!".

"You have a car right?" I ask

"Yea so?".

"Drive it!".

I hang up and took up my bag,heading downstairs.
